WEEK 3 (Still Seedling... why doesn't grow diaries show seedling?) (5/5/2018 - 5/11/2018) This week I have two goals-both of which I think are achievable. I'd like to even out, height wise, Norrin Radd (Silver Surfer) and Sahara (Sour Diesel (fem))-they pretty much are, but this week Sahara will be filling out a bit and i'd love to know whether there is a way to sort of slow down Norrin? Second I would like to learn/ask about how, during this seedling stage, hydro plants are to stay upright. What i find interesting about this, although maybe this is a bit of ignorance, is that these hydro plants seem to dive deeper quicker than in soil, right? Why is this? I, originally, had thought that it would proportionally grow outward as well as downward, giving it a bit more of a spread-out footing. It doesn't seem to be doing this lol. I definitely want to figure out how to make these gals a little more sturdy. As usual, a 7 day reservoir change, today was the day to start a new cycle. I think the same nute proportions have been treating me well so going with them again, for seeling stage. 5/8/2018 - Well I've gotten in to my new office, and the tent has been moved there. I'm still being plagued by heat-but not as bad as before-i think i'm going to nix the 4" tubing and 6" reducer and just try and run 6" duct from the extractor to boost flow. I thought, even, adding a 100cfm HVAC booster to the other end of the ~6-7ft-total length of duct, would help-but if it is it is minor. I'm basically able to keep it no hotter than about 82 at certain parts of the day. The issue i'm seeing is that it's going to be getting substantially hotter during the days when summer actually hits-and i'm already lights-on at night :( My room is 10x10 and i have a very decent standing AC unit that i may just keep in that room, shut the door, pipe it through my window (next to my extractor exhaust) and keep the room at like 68 degrees. 5/10/2018 - I dropped my phone on my Basil! ugh... well I'm noticing that Norrin has recovered and was growing her root system. she has turned a bit woody in her stem. after I saw root growth I pulled the circulating water. after I did this I noticed that the droop they both seemed to get, went away. I'm wondering if once those roots hit the airy bubble zone/water zone it was a detriment. I'm going to try without the circulation next time.
