The Shed

Wow, what a week. This week the ladies were transplanted into their final containers after watering with aloe and kelp 8 hours prior. This meant that I had to switch on all of the lights. Took some fiddling with the STC-1000 temp controller to find the right spot to best manage the room. Had some minor issues where the temp touched on 29C /84F. This caused the fans to run more often thus it dropped the humidity in the room to 30 ish. Might slow things down a little but all in all, things are back in tune now with an average daytime temp of 26C/78F and humidity at 60. Had to fine tune the lighting quite a bit this week. The leaves were a little droopy with the light at 200 and 250watt @ 60cm. After I dropped the output to 150w per light the plants perked up and are again reaching for the sky. Did some light foliar with EM and aloe, mostly to keep the topdress wet but gave the plants a little bath as well. Next week I will be topping but still trying to decide if I should mainline or just top. If you have any comments, I would love to hear. Have a tetra tastic day
