Wk 3 VD15. All girls were transplanted and moved into their new home. A 150x150x220 homebox. And my 70x70x160 is in it also for the photos. It's going to allow me to have 2 different environments. While keeping RH high in the small tent and lower in the big. Atm the small tent is open and when I the autos start to flower I'll close up the small tent and try maintain a decent environment for both tents. I have a 20l dehuimifier that'll fit in the new tent and will keep the RH low. I have a negative pressure environment set up and will probably run it like that until the end. I got co2 bags but I don't have the strength in light atm to run a high co2 environment. All girls that were trans were given La Calavera aka (voodoo juice) 2ml/L poured in the hole (200ml) then put the girls in and gave another 200ml on top. Will give nutrients and top up feed in 2 days.
18/5/22 Figuring out how VPD works. You could read for hours about this stuff and still not dial it in for years.
But here's the basics. VPD 0.4-0.8 kpa for early seedling. So under or around 23c and around 50-60 RH. atm my VPD is 1.05kpa and for most of my plants the optimal range is .8-1.1 kpa. Temp is 80 F 25C and RH is 70%. To find the perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)check out optimal ranges of VPD for growing stages, also your strain should have the optimal VPD. I don't have an infrared temp to check the LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) that's a whole other ball game
20/5/22 Topped and applied LST over the space of 24hrs.
24/5/22 Defolated on the 20 day. Doing really well and looks very healthy really happy with how she's doing. Have lowered EC by .2 (100ppm). Will be keeping a close eye on her, currently she's under my SF-1000 light.
Thanks for reading

@CrazyHorse, ah it was just a case that I seen on led-grower.eu and seen them and when I went on I seen a chart and I was on my phone so could only see 1 half and it had 14 of the AN nutes I have and emailed and they tilt me in on them and they made most of ANs products and h9ld the pattens that made AN what it is today. So it was simply a case of me having the full AN line and telling them I'm thinking of doing a side by side grow, every AN nute I have I'll match them from the whole line up they sent. But then I have their other stuff I don't have in AN so am looking forward to getting stuck in.
So, the 400e I spent on my AN line is paying off in more ways than 1. Thanks for dropping by buddy.
Looking great this one. I did two of these last year, unfortunately I never put a diary on. I had 2 different phenos, one had some purple throughout the buds but I think I stressed that one out, the other one was completely different and some of the nicest I've grown. Looking forward to seeing the result buddy.
@gottagrowsometime, I've heard of drying in the fridge but I don't know enough about it to really have an opinion.
I have a lot of friends that dry in cardboard boxes they punch holes to stick the stems through and a few on the sides to get airflow and they like it, but again I haven't tried it I just hang mine in a closet that stays a little cooler than my house especially in the winter but the rh is pretty steady 40-50% I have to watch really close in the hot months because they'll dry in 3 or 4 days it's not optimal but I have people try stuff that dried in 3 days and some 8 days and they said they couldn't tell the difference. You might be able to send it to a lab and find a difference but I don't need to be that critical
@Cyrusdavirus, they do look very tasty. Quick question pal. Am having real temp issues. My attic is cold and can hang dry there. But it's like a pasdise for pests, so I really don't want to hang it there. I was thinking cause its so small it would fit in my fridge. I have it set a 5c do you think I'll get away with that or will the lack of air flow be an issue, would love your 2cents. Thanks
@Ju_Bps, thanks brother. She's just coming into preflower. Gonna be a short auto..not a massive yield but I'll nvr be unhappy with a bit of early smoke.
