This is the start of Week 3 (today, 26March). Here's what happened in Week 2: I told you already I was "building soil" ... and mentioned I had already transplanted the seedlings from Stage 1 cardboard to Stage 2 cardboard pots. Yesterday the plants went into their pots .. using Smart Pots a friend gave me, but I modified them to suit my needs (sewed them smaller, so approx. 4-5 gallons each). I "think" the transplant went well .. that is, the roots had no yet reached the outer part of the cardboard pots, and the soil/root mass was mostly intact/undisturbed ... hoping they don't even know they were transplanted. Big Foot Gold Mycorrhyzae mixed with soil and also sprinkled in where I transplanted. I injected water infused with sprouted lentils (hormone/auxin tea?) after transplanting. The pH of that water is about 6.3, based on colorimetric strips. The light is at 14"; I increase intensity to around 75% in day, and down to approx. 55% at night. The unsightly towels help keep the humidity up. The Inkbird is set to activate the bubblers if it dips below 52%RH. They help, but cannot do the whole job. Having kale, lettuce and cabbage starts in the enclosure also helps and of course they love that environment, so why not? The freezer icemaker fan sitting atop the light blows a breeze during day. The plants wiggle. I shut it off at night. Thought I saw a fungus gnat last night just before bed. Diatomaceous earth is sprinkled atop the soil now. Will add more if needed. Not sure I like these pots. If I want or need to move the plants, I feel the lack of structure will compress the soil and loosen it from the roots, disturbing the plants. So I hope I don't have to, at least until I need to flush. I had intended to pull them out of the incubator, and I have drip trays with rods to elevate the bags so I can collect/test runoff. We'll see. Compared to my last grow these are doing much much better. Looking carefully at the possibility of some very gentle LST. Not sure yet. But not quite yet .. they need to be a tad bigger according to Fast_Buds' information online. The Orange Sherbet is much smaller, and is leaning (happened during transplanting fumbles) so that's already begun, in a way. Not quite sure how to achieve the upside down triangle I see in so many harvest pics. Not sure I can accomplish that with just one light though.

This Gorilla Zkittles seems to be stretching awfully much. Also, of more concern, the small leaves are twisting, as if too hot/dry. 78F, light is about 14" up, RH% setpoint 56%, leaf temps seems to max out at 76.5F. Should I worry? Or what? Thanks! VPD is 1.2-1.6 depending.

1.2-1.6 is fine.. this is based on atmospheric temperature readings? VPD is supposed to be calculated with leaf temperature readings (averaged throughout canopy). So, leaf temps are about 3-5F cooler than the air due to evaporation that takes place (an endothermic reaction that absorbs heat from local environment). You vpd is lower than what you atmospheric temp caclulations are. Make sure atmospheric temp -5F is not less than 1 kPa on the VPD reference table. In flower some suggestions i;ve seen are anywhere from 1.2-1.5 anyway. And, you shouldn't have more than a 0.4 swing from day to night, if possible. Stomata are mostly closed at night, but if you can avoid big deviations, do so. There will be am optimal vpd in regard to maximizing co2 intake, but without a lab, that's pretty hard to dial in. So, if vpd gets a bit high and you cannot do much about it, be prepared to reduce overall concentration of your fertilization, if needed. High vpd means an increased rate of drinking... which will increase the supply of building blocks given while growth remains relatively the same = potential for tox buildup in the plant, all other factors remaining the same. Low vpd may require a higher concnetration. These two factors are linked in this way many other relative factors. if you don't tightly control climate, don't worry about things you cannot control. Use it to ensure you avoid extremes as best you can given the tools you have or choose to use. For instance, to help temps and rh in winter, i sometimes have a fan blowing cold air toward the thermostat. It can raise the temps ~3F or more and reduce RH 1-3% or more due to furnace turning on more*. I just try to avoid the extremes, but i still keep track of vpd. it can help inform on choosing a course of action for a toxicity or deficiency.. due to the direct correlations spoken of above. *it's a tri level with thermostat on top level. This works better than changing the dial on thermostate because it more evenly distributes the heat in the house at each level. Otherwise the mid level gets really cold and top level gets really hot, while the lowest floor is barely impacted. A little wireless temp/rh probe that monitores this stuff constantly is well worth the ~10 usd cost. Do remember the VPD shown on these probes is likely lower than the calculation given. A "good" one might allow you to choose an offset to use. - 3-5F is wise.

I noticed these brown splotches and leaf edges on one area bud and pistils of my Orange Sherbet last night. Based on what I can find online, this might be potassium deficiency? This is mostly on one spot near darkest edge when tent closed. Thanks!

Not a deficiency, just slight burning from over feeding with nitrogen.

Beginning Week 8, autoflower: Should I defoliate? Seems pretty dense and bushy! This is the Fastbuds Orange Sherbet. She's the short bushy one in the second photo. Thankee!

If you have humidity issues and/or lack of airflow that would cause mold or something then yes. Otherwise, no, and also no.

@A_Stoned_Llama, Thank you! I get pretty verbose ... and have learned a lot from when others do it. More info can lead to learning .. especially when I learn the wrong things the hard way, but at least there's a paper trail. Good luck with your grows too!
