Week 5 -
Monday:
Ok!! Great start to week five!
I believe this baby has revealed it’s sex, female ! Reaching sexual maturity. Great news! Now it should start flowering as it’s on 12/12.
Removed the diffuser from the grow lamp which has raised the ppfd to 400-600 at 2-3” from canopy. 1000+ at -1”.
The first 5 blade fan leaves have shot out today.
Light came on when I went to lock the gate at 7:15pm. Not sure if this is going to hurt. But because it hasn’t flowered yet. I’m guessing not. Will leave the light off tomorrow. Giving the plant natural light that rises around 7:30 to give it 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep and then push it hard with light after work.
Will also measure the light properly in the grow box. Checking PPFD and DLI and put markings on box wall to place light for each stage of life cycle.
Wednesday:
Had a few issues with power as I’m adjusting new energy sources for new 9w LED grow light and 3.5w exhaust fan.
Thursday:
Lost power for light again today!
Purchased 10ah deep cycle lithium battery to hold charge and to be charged by 50w solar blanket.
Also purchased extreme low power usb nano aerator with airstone to maximise oxygen levels to roots.
When this arrives I will fill reservoir up and run the pump. Fingers crossed it doesn’t die out.
ALSO! The 5 bladed fan leaf is almost fully formed!! Hooray!!
Friday:
Changed nutrient solution.
More potash and more silica. Also added seasol again.
PH 5.9 - PPM 640
Saturday:
Growing and looking healthy!
Sunday:
Noticed new growth discoloured
