#01 First Grow

WEEK 8 Day 1 (5th SEP): Temperatures: Highest day 29.1°C, Lowest day 27.3°C, Night 26.9°C, Relative Humidity: Lowest 56.9%, Highest 72.9%, Watering: 1500mL (See nutrients chart), pH After watering: 5.5 Techniques Used: None Comments: An unwelcome rise in temperature after sealing the space but I haven't much choice. Humidity has spiked a bit as well. It has been raining a lot and the windows are usually open so once it passes it might come down a bit. I've moved the pot slightly and forced the plant to bend a little to the right to pull it away from the light a bit. Some more training is still needed. WEEK 8 Day 2 (6th SEP): Temperatures: Highest day xx.x°C, Lowest day xx.x°C, Night 26.5°C, Relative Humidity: Lowest xx.x%, Highest xx.x%, Watering: 0mL (See nutrients chart) pH After watering: n/a. Techniques Used: Comments: I just need more space for this. I want to train it by pulling the branches outwards and concertina the main stem, but the other grow is in the way. Some burnt tips at the very top where it has actually made contact with the light which obviously isn't good at all. WEEK 8 Day 3 (7th SEP): Temperatures: Highest day xx.x°C, Lowest day xx.x°C, Night xx.x°C, Relative Humidity: Lowest xx.x%, Highest xx.x%, Watering: 1500mL (See nutrients chart), pH After watering: Techniques Used: None Comments: No complaints from this troublemaker after increasing the watering this week from 1000mL to 1500mL every second day. The buds a coming on slowly and starting to converge on the main stem. I think it's becoming clearer now that the Blackberry Gum has been the loser in the competition for light and seems to be two or three weeks behind in flowering. It's just gonna have to wait a little longer for the other grow to finish. A half decent crop may still come out of this, eventually. WEEK 8 Day 4 (8th SEP): Temperatures: Highest day xx.x°C, Lowest day xx.x°C, Night xx.x°C, Relative Humidity: Lowest xx.x%, Highest xx.x%, Watering: 0mL (See nutrients chart) pH After watering: n/a. Techniques Used: Comments: So an update regarding the smell situation: it's pretty much contained. The EC fan and carbon filter are really doing the job nicely. For context, my grow unit is situated in the en-suite to my bedroom. Before I could smell it when stepping into the house, now as I type this in my bedroom I cannot smell it at all. WEEK 8 Day 5 (9th SEP): Temperatures: Highest day xx.x°C, Lowest day xx.x°C, Night xx.x°C, Relative Humidity: Lowest xx.x%, Highest xx.x%, Watering: 1500mL (See nutrients chart), pH After watering: Techniques Used: Comments: WEEK 8 Day 6 (10th SEP): Temperatures: Highest day xx.x°C, Lowest day xx.x°C, Night xx.x°C, Relative Humidity: Lowest xx.x%, Highest xx.x%, Watering: 0mL (See nutrients chart) pH After watering: n/a. Techniques Used: Comments: WEEK 8 Day 7 (11th SEP): Temperatures: Highest day xx.x°C, Lowest day xx.x°C, Night xx.x°C, Relative Humidity: Lowest xx.x%, Highest xx.x%, Watering: 1500mL (See nutrients chart), pH After watering: Techniques Used: Comments: SETUP INFORMATION: A home built timber framed enclosed unit lined with foiled foam insulative sheeting.
