# Day 26
Added ceramic pot to feed worms and more worms, had to cut bottom leaves as they were touching the soil and had no more place to add worms/dirt (sorry for the dirty fingernail 😅).
# Day 27
Discovered likely powdery mildew.
Cut most of affected leaves.
Backing soda + soap foliar spray.
# Day 29
She got light burn and a bit stunned I guess because of too much backing soda spray during two days and cut leaves to try erradicate possible powdery mildew, at least I don't see anymore signs of it's presense in pot.

I went walk in forest and disovered very nice mulch with mycelium to prepare JMS (JADAM microbial solution) with it:
Ingredients:
- 200/300g of forest mulch with mycelium
- 2 gallons of dechlorinate water

- Add potatoes inside a mesh filter (pantyhose) and add forest mulch to an other filter, stick them to the bucket.
- Add salt, mix the water to dissolve it.

- Some reaction could be observed, the water moves like a current in the sea.

Defoliation.
Interesting grow man. Just a couple quick pointers if I may, Cannabis plants love heat and humidity. The buds hate it, Your humidity is great but your plants will put in some more vigorous growth if we up those temps just ever so slightly. You have a good tight temperature gap between lights on and lights off which is very good for veg so keep that up. I would look to see 80-82 lights on and no more than 9 degrees less with lights off.
Also if you haven't gotten them already get yourself a PAR meter & A thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 62 MAX. Also research VPD, Vapor pressure deficit, and how it relates to growing cannabis. Check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary & follow my profile. Happy growing friend!
@Cronos, Great work friend. Anytime I am always here to help. I went through so much trial and error when I was learning to grow I am trying to help anybody I can now by sharing the knowledge I have gained from my time in the industry.
This was a really cool grow. I'm really wondering why the 3 winners for the newbie contest got picked over you. This was FAR more interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Cronos
