Air:
Temp: 76F
Humidity: 70% RH
Water:
PPM: 220/320
Temp: 72F
PH: 6.9 / 6.4
- Added a few pebbles for support.
- Taped down visors on top of net baskets.
- I moved the CMH out of the way and installed the SF1000 at 40" while leaving the T5 in place. I'll start lowering the SF1000 because it is not dimmable. I'll put the CMH in place when the plant start transpiring.
- Running around 7K LUX and I will subtlety start increasing light intensity over the next 10-14 days.
- Adding nutrients to a target of 300pm today (see below).
- Note: I added the Rapid Start in 3 parts because it brings PH down, I didn't want to shock so I poured the dosage in three parts over 24 hours.
Added 6ml of AN Sensi Grow Coco in 500ml RO water.

Day 16 (Mar 20, 2022)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air:
Temp: 77F
Humidity: 70% RH
Water:
PPM: 340
Temp: 68F
PH: 6.4
- Bumped up heater one degree to a setting of 75f.
- Filling up two humidifiers about every 36h.
- The one (blue) humidifier will be retired soon and I will install the intake AC Infinity S6. I just don't have the room at the moment with both humidifiers due to the design of the tent and the lower vent ports only exist at the front of the tent. I didn't think about that when I reconfigured the bucket placement for easier training and reach when I moved the two-site system from back to the front of the tent. Currently running a passive intake and AC Infinity T6 exhaust on a setting of 1.
- Getting some spring-like temperatures now, closed window and turned on portable AC pointing at reservoirs outside of the tent to bring down water temp.

Day 17 (Mar 21, 2022)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air:
Temp: 77F
Humidity: 70% RH
Water:
PPM: 330
Temp: 69F
PH: 6.4
- Lowered SF1000 a few inches to hit the target intensity of 13k Lux at top of the plant.
- She is reaching for the sides of an 8" net pot. Almost there.
- Next node popped; Second true node after cotyledons and single leaves.
We should be popping nodes every other day soon.

Day 18 (Mar 22, 2022)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air:
Temp: 77F
Humidity: 70% RH
Water:
PPM: 320/350
Temp: 72F
PH: 6.5/6.5
- PPM dropped slightly overnight.
- Added 14ml (0.5ml/L) of Miicrobial Mass Pro to 500ml of RO water, shook well, and added to the reservoir. (Every other Tuesday). PPM value increased by 20ppm.
- Just moved into a new residence before setting this up and I had a breaker flip last night. The entire basement is on two 15amp breaks set up as a dual breaker.
Lights aren't even at 100% and the AC pointed at reservoirs had been running for 48 hours. There are four other rooms in the basement so this could be something I need to work through.

Day 19 (Mar 23, 2022)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air:
Temp: 77F
Humidity: 70% RH
Water:
PPM: 350
Temp: 70F
PH: 6.5
- Spread her wings - So close to the edge of the 8" net pot.
- The most vigorous plant in the tent right now.
- Lowered SF1000 to a reading of 18K Lux.

Day 20 (Mar 24, 2022)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air:
Temp: 77F
Humidity: 70% RH
Water:
PPM: 350/340
Temp: 70F
PH: 6.5
- Added 3ml of Orca to 500ml of RO water in a water bottle, shook, and added to the reservoir.
- Noticeable growth all week, next node (3rd) is popping. For reference, the plants structure is like this: Cotyledons / single leaf / node one / node 2 / node 3. I'll be topping at (under) node three as soon as the 5th starts to show itself.
2-4 days.
- I'll perform a root check tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 21 (Mar 25, 2022)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air:
Temp: 77F
Humidity: 70% RH
Water:
PPM: 340
Temp: 72F
PH: 6.5
- Root check! Much root development from beginning to the end of the week.
- I expect big things from this plant. It's the most vigorous in the tent.
- Planning on bumping PPM up a little tomorrow, maybe replenishing to 400ppm with Rapid Start and AN Sensi Coco Grow. RapidStart seems to add weight to the PPM values so I'll keep that in mind.
Will also work on increasing light intensity this coming week with an expected topping.
