I wasn't here the whole week, just been here until I put the seed in the soil. I have to mention that during the first week, the plant didn't received light from the led panel that I told about in the settings, but from 3 shitty led panels (check photos). I had to wait until the week 2 to get the other panel. So sorry, no picture of the plant for this week, but it's not the most interesting stage of the growing so no big deal.
So here I am after a 1 week absence, I've changed the 3 panels by the new one (the Phlizon 1500w, still not the best but you know...), and results are much better. We can see that the plant suffer a little from lack of water despite the fact that a friend come over to watering. I had some problems with the temperature of the box, because the new led panel was heating to much. But I wasn't able to extract the air to cool down the box because the humidity would decrease too.
P.S : I'm using a sprayer to increase the air humidity, but I have to do it a lots of time, and it's useless if I turn on the air extraction.
The grow is going well, I watered the plant at the maximum and water was dripping from the bottom of the pot. To avoid over-watering, I turn on the air extractor, and guess what ? air humidity and box temperature are just fine ! I also started to do some LST to the plant, I've never done that so I go little by little. I have some problem with the PH of the water because the Bio Grow has one that is too low, and I now need a PH up.
No problem here, the plant is still healthy and nice. For the moment just the vegetative mode is on, I would like to switch on the flowering mode too but as I just have 30 cm lamp to plant distance, I think the lights will burn it (but I have a solution on mind, I'll apply it next week). I gonna leave one more time, so no photo until day 30-31. To assure water supply to the plant, I gonna use some blumat devices (go check photos) with a flow of 0.2L every 24 hours each, not the best I know but it's the only solution I could find. I have some issues with my Go Pro, I don't know why but I can't do some good pictures with it, I'm gonna try to resolve this so that you guys can enjoy the diaries a little bit more.
So I returned from my holidays, and I was surprised how the plant was going so well with just the blumat devices (only water, without any nutrients) for like 7 days long. The plant didn't suffer for the massive amount of water I gave it before I left, and stretch has begun and the plant was at like 5 cm of the lamp, but fortunately it didn't burn. I've done some LST to correct that, and you can see on photo number 2 that I've tinkered the box to have more space. But stretch is a the beginning, and I'm scared there will be not enough space... so I'll buy a box of 120*120*200 in a few days, and I'll be able to do a better LST.
So here we are, after a little over-watering issues, the plant is going just well. I bought a new box, a 150cmx150cmx200cm and I was able to do a real proper scrOG and not just a tinny LST. Now the plant is spreading on a area of like 95cm*90cm, it's not in the little 60cmx60cmx90cm box that I could have done this XD. So now I'm able to turn both vegetative and flowering mode on because I increase lamp-plant distance, and no more temperature issues. Hopping big buds !
So new week, not so much to talk about, I'm just a little bit high in humidity and I have to open windows a couple of time each days. Just for you to know, the quality of the setup just increased a lot, moving from a 60*60*90cm GMax box to a 150*150*200cm GPro occasion white Mylar box that I paid 150 bucks.
