Episode 06: Super Cropping Strategies, Trellis Net Setup & Living Soil Top Dress
We’re entering the final stages of veg in this 2-part episode as we prepare the Time Capsule Tent for a fully automated run. From trellis setup and defoliation strategies to dialing in VPD with AC Infinity’s AI controller, this is a deep dive into hands-off cultivation done right.
In part one, we cover lower growth removal, root development updates, super cropping technique, and canopy management. In part two, we top dress with Craft Blend and BuildAFlower, then walk you through how to mix microbial tea with Rootwise, WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI, and enzymes for a healthy soil food web.
We also explore fan placement, airflow tweaks, tent sealing strategies, and how to think ahead for a successful hands-free flower run. Whether you're fine-tuning an AI grow setup or just looking for practical automation tips, this episode has plenty to offer.
Plus: how to set airflow zones in your tent, when to tighten the top trellis, and our thoughts on why modern autoflowers deserve a second look.
