The quantity of nutrients is calculated based on the size of the tank ( 20L ). I used a lower nutrient concentration due to the too high night temperature range, I didn't want to stress the plants.
I found some insects on the plant and tried using water with lemon juice. it worked for a few days, but they reappeared. I'll buy neem oil.
I used 2 ml of concentrated neem oil diluted in 1 liter of water. I applied the mixture once a day for three days above and below the leaves to fight and prevent insect attacks. worked well against aphids.
I increased the concentration of nutrients per liter. I have a 20 liter container but I only use 5 liters per week which I replace with distilled water every time I need to increase the concentration of nutrients. LST method started.
This week starts with forecasts indicating a rise in temperature (between 30 and 37 for the whole week). I will need to water 3 times a week instead of 2 and create more airflow with another fan. In the photos they look a little down but they recovered in a few hours after my operation.
On 21 June I performed the defoliation without any mistake. But this week my nightmare came true, the temperature inside the Growbox rise to 34 ° and 80% humidity (the water in the pot has evaporated), bringing the plant to a state of crisis. Now I keep the Growbox open, hoping it will resolve and the plant will be healthy again.
Also this week the temperature is high and sometimes I keep open the growbox and use another fan at the right distance. It's going well but I'm worried about the high temperatures as I will start the flowering phase in week 10, I always need some advice. See you soon 👊
I cannot continue with the vegetative phase because there is not enough space. I set the lights for 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark. next week I plan to use the right nutrients for this phase. Should I start using the nutrients for the Bloom phase next week? Advice is welcome 👍
Did I overdo it with the defoliation? let me know 🙌
I added the nutrients for the 3rd week. the temperature is high so I give them more water. I removed some leaves and a few branches below that had started to dry out.
The temperature continues to be very high. I watered too often and burned some leaves. Now I have to wait for the soil to dry well before watering. The cheap humidifier i bought works well.
Wow thats a sad outcome of this, did you forget to water thoose or what happen? Very important to not let them dry out when in flower it will cause the roots to rot and cause bud rot, hope you get more lucky nest round, keep hydrogen peroxide to be able to combat root rot and other small insects in soil, but read about how to use and what it does before use :) it will give more oksygen to roots aswell but negative side it Will kill benefital bacterias and Micro organismes so have to add thoose again
Dude you experienced the same shit than me, with humidity.
I been moving the plant at night, in another room with lower humidity level, and was also abble to place plant outdoor for one or two days, when humidity was fine.
Track outdoor humidity, and open your home windows at the right moment. Maybe can you also reduce your lamp output, i was setting it at 75%, with great improve on temps.
I did this for one week, weather got better after that.
@PurpleWorship Thanks for the advice but I can't move the plants. I solved it with a more powerful fan placed about a meter and a half away with the door of the box open. The window is always open and cannot be closed or the temperature would rise too high. I put the Growbox in a not very canonical place. Thanks mate 😉💪
Amazing grow! Really good job dude! I wish you the best results with the most delicious buds!
Nice to see your journals! I will drop by some times to check your progress!
Feel free to come by and say hello!
Happy growing 🥦🤩
