Week 6 // Oct 9 - Oct 15
--------------------------------------------
There were a lot of developments this week.
- I found first white pre-flower pistil on Sage #2 (left) - Hard to believe it's week 6 and I'm just seeing the pistil. I almost feel like I could have done a third top.
- VPD, ambient air (78F), and water (68F) are all in perfect ranges again.
- PH slowly dropping on its own as roots continue to innoculate the system.
- Bumped up to the 600 ppm range early in the week, and pushed it up around the 680 ppm range by end of the week.
- Plants are starting to drink. Topping off with about 1L RO water per day and intaking about 5ml-10ml of base nutrients per day.
- Continuing to focus on training the mains.
- Sage #2 seems a few days behind Sage #3 (right) in terms of vegetative growth even though it first showed the pistil.
- Moved LED to Sage #2 and added the CMH light over Sage #3 (right).
- Turned up the exhaust/intake fan speed one setting to equal out the additional CMH heat keeping tent at 78F. I left the heater in the tent for lights off to keep the 72F temp.
- Due to the rise in lights on temps because of the second light and exhaust/intake increase, the RH was too low and one humidifier couldn't keep up beyond 50% RH.
- I added an additional humidifier, so now I have two humidifiers running off of one Inkbird humidity controller to keep the proper VPD for the best growth possible.
-The air roots are climbing around on the inside of buckets. Much more rigorous than the last run.
- I'm still giving Microbial Mass every two weeks, Orca every 3-4 days, and Z9 once a week.
@mangolinux420, Hey thanks for the inquiry. I did not upgrade the pump on this run, and I haven't even regretted it yet. The 250 is working great for a two-site setup! Thanks for checking out my diary! Happy growing!
@Blessed_With_Knowledge, Thanks for the encouragement! I find it's the one type of training I often doubt the most. There are so many moves that can be made during the training!
good to see you back at it! totally understand the 'time being a commodity thing. starting a new NightOwl grow as well (just popped today). happy growing friend π€
@MyWeedAccount, hey friend! lol yes! at least we will get that extra hour of time next weekend! π
i just checked out what you're growing next and I'm excited to see how they turn out! I grabbed 5 packs on the Halloween drop, including the SSB but I'm fully regretting not getting the QB and may have to pick it up at the banks.
Keep keepin your grows fun!
