Milk and Qookies // Night Owl // RDWC

Weekly Summary: Overall great week in terms of growth; lots of trichome production, smell has increased; deep, rich, funky, and pungent, hits in back of nasal like a gnarly skunky smell when the tent opens. MQ3 is producing a few really chunky flowers. Summer temps outside this week caused some issues with the environment and water temps being higher than normal. Additionally, I had some logistics I had to take care of quickly that resulted in me working on the lung room and moving equipment around a couple of days, which caused more fluctuations - couldn't be avoided. I knew I’d have some challenges towards the end by starting this grow in March instead of February like originally planned. Good thing temps should stay somewhat cooler until June 15. A bit of yellowing and spotting happened only on a few leaves on both plants, tops, and bottom. I assumed they need more PK. Big bud product is a weaker version of overdrive, great for transition, but the plants likely require more Phosphorus. I will continue to watch it. Thanks for looking! --------------------------------------- May 15 (Day 62) --------------------------------------- Tent: 78F-79F (Day) / 69F - 71F (Night) Rh: 55% (Day) / 45% (Night) Water Temp: 66F-70F PH: 5.5 PPM: 1020 / 990 Leaf Temp: 77F Plants look great. More frost today. Ppm held at 1020 all day. Added 10ml z9 in 2L ro water Added 20ml big bud in 1L water Ppm went to 990 --------------------------------------- May 16 (Day 63) --------------------------------------- Tent: 78F-79F (Day) / 69F - 71F (Night) Rh: 55% (Day) / 45% (Night) Water Temp: 66F-70F PH: 5.5/5.7 PPM: 990 / 960 Leaf Temp: 77F PH rose to 5.7 by morning. Added 2L of plain water. Brought PPM down to 960. PPM dropped down to 960 on after top off. PH rose to 5.8 by evening. --------------------------------------- May 17 (Day 64) --------------------------------------- Tent: 78F-79F (Day) / 69F - 71F (Night) Rh: 55% (Day) / 45% (Night) Water Temp: 66F-70F PH: 5.8 PPM: 950 Leaf Temp: 77F PH was at 950 in morning. Add 5ml Orca in 2L water Add 20ml big bud in 1L water Add 20ml SensiBloom A/B in 1L water --------------------------------------- May 18 (Day 65) --------------------------------------- Tent: 78F-79F (Day) / 69F - 71F (Night) Rh: 55% (Day) / 45% (Night) Water Temp: 66F-70F PH: 5.7 PPM: 1020/1010 Leaf Temp: 77F PH dropped to 5.7 Added 2L of plain RO water A bit more spotting occurring on leaves. Feeling they need a PK boost. Big bud was great for transition, but AN Overdrive has more PK. Added 20ml 2L of Overdrive mixed in RO water. FInal PPM after top off: 1010 PPM Added a couple of fans on the lower canopy pointing up. A little bit of defoliation to clear some bud sites and improve airflow. --------------------------------------- May 19 (Day 66) --------------------------------------- Tent: 78F-90F (Day) / 69F - 74F (Night) Rh: 55% (Day) / 49% (Night) Water Temp: 66F-74F PH: 5.7 PPM: 1020/980/950 Leaf Temp: 77F Added 2L of RO water - plain. - PPM dropped from 1020 to 990. Plants seem to be eating and drinking at the same rate. Humidity in the lung room is starting to rise due to outdoor temps rising and becoming more summer-like. Lung room RH at 48% today. Spotting seems to have not progressed any further. Added 10ml z9 in 1L RO water - mixed well. PPM dropped to 950. I had some logistics that affected the plants that couldn’t be avoided. I had to remove the window panel for a few hours and shutdown exhaust with only LED of dimmest setting to keep heat down. Temps got up to 90f in tent and water temp went up to 74f, twice. Add 5ml of Orca (late evening) It was 28c outside today on top of all of the variables that were out of line due to other factors. As of this evening, the programing doesn't matter for intake and exhaust. I’m now running the T6 exhaust +S6 intake fans on setting 8 full-time now. --------------------------------------- May 20 (Day 67) --------------------------------------- Tent: 81F-85F (Day) / 73F - 75F (Night) Rh: 52% (Day) / 48% (Night) Water Temp: 71F-74F PH: 5.7/5.8 PPM: 950/900/850 Leaf Temp: NA Reconfigured Inkbird to 62% humidity. (using boveda) Added 2L of plain RO water in morning ppm dropped to 900. It's 30c outdoors today. Water temps held at 70-72 all day, even with lights off and tent temps hit 85f several times. PH rose to 5.8 on its own - still need to calibrate guardian - it is blinking at me. Added 4L of RO water in the evening. PPM dropped to 850 Another day of exhaust/intake on constantly with setting 9 - full time, day and night. --------------------------------------- May 21 (Day 68) --------------------------------------- Tent: 80F-86F (Day) / 74F - 75F (Night) Rh: 52% (Day) / 48% (Night) Water Temp: 71F-74F PH: 5.7/5.8 PPM: 850/800 Leaf Temp: 82F Added 4L of plain RO water bringing PM down to 800 Temps are still warm outside today, but cooler than the past two days. We are supposed to get a cold front in the morning, so hopefully, that cools things down. Contemplating doing a water change tomorrow - so just going to go with plain water today. I ordered more Orca Beneficial bacterial weeks ago, but Amazon Canada warehouses got shut down to Covid outbreak, so I’m having to really reduce my beneficial schedule by a few hours each day to get me through until it arrives. Another day of full intake/exhaust running on setting '9' of 10. 24/7 day and night.
