Take me to the 70's man...

This week I am prepping to leave for a vacation. The captain of our boat said absolutely no drugs or we get dropped off on the closest island no refund. Crazy bc im going to USVI where weed is decriminalized and medical is legal and sold. Vacation is starting to sound a whole lot like rehab but hey i can cancel now might as well get a nice t break. Anyway enough of that rant I have given a watering schedule and pH instruction to my plant sitter and now we are good to go. I had a huge scare this week when I feed with a bio starter compost tea to aid in bacteria growth in the new soil. I added a pH up solution to the tea but it acidified my soil pretty bad and then my pH reader went all over the place. I panicked and flushed most of the tea out of the Strawberry Cough with 12+ pH water and my ph meter didnt budge. So i decided that shit was off and I am probably okay if i just leave it and flush it real good on the next water but honestly I think it will be find and it was probably necessary to add all that base to the water. We shall see. A pro tip I figured out from this whole mishap was that you can test soil ph by putting a drop of indicator in the run off. My runoff pH was in range so I think i fixed the problem. SCREW any soil ph tester under $100 bucks. Just use indicator This week: -I topped the main colas on both and a couple other chutes. -Ive decided to motivate myself to do meditation by incentivizing it as raising CO2 in the grow room by doing Wim Hof Method breathing. I wish i had a co2 tester to see how much it worked but I know that it releases more than if i didnt do it and depletes a lot of oxygen. i simply lay next to the air flow entrance to the tent and do 3 rounds everyday and then keep the door to the room closed. -Ive done the calculations in order to achieve my desired PPFD and since my tent is .73m2 i need about 1095 lux/m2 to mimic 1500 lux (which is what university studies are saying is optimum in from Utah St). - Its my understanding that it helps the plant adjust to that increase in photon density during 12-12 if you push the plant harder during veg. Basically I am running at about 47 DLI on a 20-4 schedule because I will be shooting for 62 during flower and its been proven to help the transition if the veg cycle DLI is about 25% less than flower DLI. 62-(62*.25)=46.5. - Super excited to get a perpetual grow going and for my 2 xs2000 240 watt fixtures to get delivered. I plan on moving the 180w to veg closet and being able to grow cuttings and have a veg room. My PPFD at 100% (480w) on both lights in my tent should be about 1700 at 18 inches. Perfect! Overkill! I think its better to buy a light that is too intense and use it on lower settings because it puts less stress on your stuff. Simple logic!
