WEEK 9 VEGETATION
See VEG Week 2 for details of stock solution A & B.
I use the BlueLab Combo Meter to measure pH, ppm (TDS) 500 scale, and temperature.
A great week in the tent. Lots of trimming, tucking, and futzing around.
Monday - Trim and tuck session.
Tuesday - Tent 75F @ 60%RH. Plant is 24 inches from the light. Reservoir level down to ~ 10 Gallons. Reservoir measured 590 ppm, 6.0 pH, 70F. No pH adjustment.
Wednesday - The reservoir is down to ~ 9 Gallons, 580 ppm, 6.5 pH, 70F. Reservoir top up to 12 Gallons. Added 3 Gallons of R.O. water + 6mL Green Planet Plant Guard +10mL CALiMAGic + 18 mL Stock solution Part A + 18 mL stock solution Part B) = 600 ppm, pH 5.8, 71F. Reservoir now at 590ppm, pH'd down to 5.8 @ 70F.
Saturday - 1 pm. Reservoir @ 9 Gallons and measured 580 ppm, 6.5 pH, 70F. pH'd back down to 5.7.
Sunday - 2 pm. Room @ 70F, 45%RH - Tent @ 76F, 63%RH. More Defoliation/Tuck/Bend. Readjust light up an inch to 22 inches above the canopy. Reservoir @ 8 Gallons, 600 ppm, 6.4 pH, 70F.
Added Box fan to lower left side of the tent. Moved the 6" oscillating fan to upper canopy, left side, rear of the tent. Tent Relative Humidity reduced to 55%. New reservoir change out - 3 X (4 Gallons of reverse osmosis water + 8 mL Green Planet Plant Guard + 12 mL GHE CALiMAGic + 30 mL Stock solution Part A + 30 mL stock solution Part B) = 640 ppm, pH 5.8, 68F, 12 Gallons.
Good progress this week filling in the trellis net. Lots of new tops forming. On Wednesday I changed the light schedule to 12 hours ON/12 OFF, from a 16 hour ON/8 OFF.
Please follow along, drop a like, comment, or question, and share your experience with this strain.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
Peace,

@DeaneR, I grew some of crop kings Lambs breath over the summer, but didn't run a diary, if you want to get stuff done it is awesome the wife calls it my busy weed lol
Hey man! Just a thought, but maybe when those leaves turn 90 degs they are praying really hard, I mean it could be osmotic pressure in the plant that makes it turn that way, and apparently there's not much light difference on both sides of the leaf that it doesn't affect it's position
Great work as usual๐
Does that dwc method up the humidty in your house much?
I'm already running a dehumidifier in the basement and taking
almost 8 liters of water out of the air and keeping the basement at 55% RH and the rest of the house at 40-45% rh,
and I'm using soil.Hard to keep the rh where I want because our house looks like a jungle, plants everywhere.
I'm using the water from the dehumidifier to water all the house plants, I just add some (kelp me kelp you) to bring the PH up a little from
the RO water coming from the dehumidifier all plants are super happy.
Mery Christmas!!!
@northernMike, Thanks Mike. I don't think this DWC method raises my homes RH, any more than my previous coco grows, with fabric pots (think of the surface area of the pot and media drying, plus runoff in the tray). I found little loss due to evaporation using this DWC style. I put a plastic sheet around the stem of the plant, to block light and reduce evaporation. The plants do grow quickly though, and are transpiring a gallon per day...So its like having one of those room humidifiers running 24/7. It's been a warm/damp December in my area. Normally, my NG furnace helps lower my house RH. I disabled my HVAC's humidifier and run a DC furnace fan 24/7 to help circulate my house air. My house was built in the 60's, so the basement is always damper than the rest of the house.
Have a happy Happy, merry Merry!!!!๐
