So, I've upped the nutrition according to the BioBizz schedule for their light mix soil. But a week behind on week 5 after the grow was disturbed during the veg phase.
While my other grow is slow to flower with the current setup, my Tangerine has shrugged off any bother and is looking great for Week 6. It is contributing most to the still fairly weak citrusy smell. Size is manageable but a little LST is planned for this week.
New lighting and ventilation coming this week so watch this space.
In the grow info above, see the Veg lighting for before, and Flo lighting for what will replace it this week.
UPDATE: Week 6 day 3, the new grow light, bluetooth hygrometer and fans came today. They sent the wrong light, I ordered the Phlizon CREE COB 1000W but was sent a larger 1500W instead. It just about fits with space front and back for ventilation. I just hope it's not too much as my space is tiny.
Gonna spend the next few days tweaking the setup, and experimenting with techniques of getting the humidity and temperature down. At night with the grow light off, the max temp is 29.44 degrees C and RH 55-60%. At this stage, I'm aiming for 20-26 degrees C with the light on during the day and RH 45-55%. It's fair to say that getting within this temperature range may prove a challenge. The one of the fans will breeze across the grow while the other could draw air out. I'll need to allow a decent enough intake of fresh air.
Let's see what happens.
Thank you for stopping by.
@GrowingGrannie, I water every second day (accounted for in nutes info) and the morning is watering time again.
Week 6 tomorrow, too. The white hairs on this so far are looking promising.
Stay tuned 🌿🌲
Hi everyone, thank you for visiting. I was Libricorn but now renamed to VertiGrow.
I have changed the format in which I'll be recording my grows with detailed daily stats and comments listed each week.
xx.x measures are placeholders to be updated as the week goes by.
Thanks again.
Happy growing! 🙂🌿
@VertiGrow, oh nah its fine. well, its definitely not hidden well, or at all. I just like the idea of a closet grow, would make keeping it warm easier and i could go back to using LED. I grow in a garage, it gets really cold so im using HID for the heat.
I (T.O.H.) like the use of chains, is the plant still hanging? I’d like to say I will check back in but I get lost in the 💨💨💨 and I always have a hard time finding the pages after that! 💚✌️
@CannabisCultivate, I know how it is, don't worry 👍.
It is still hanging with quite a bit more space below to use if it gets much taller.
I have been aiming to keep a constant 20cm distance to the light and figured that adjusting the pots instead would be the way to go in this tight vertical space.
Some may argue that this is too close but I've not yet seen any evidence of light bleaching. The leaves and flowers directly under are looking healthy.
Thanks for stopping by 🌿👍
@@Fauna, Thank you for the recommendation. I shall implement this on the next grow. The BioBizz schedule does state it at the bottom but I treated it as small print and overlooked it. Fuller growth is a most definitely a target next time.
love the microgrow, when i lved with my parents i tried to grow at least 20 times and always got caught when the plant was about 10cm tall hahahahah would have loved a closet grow.
A friend of mine dumped all of his clothes in a corner and hung a 125w cfl in there. That was the first homegrown I ever smoked, bloody delicious :)
@hardcorejunglist, Thank you, it has been a fun an ongoing work in progress. I'm glad to say that it's near completion - thankfully, as it has not been cheap to build.
That's some perseverance to keep going after getting caught so many times 😄. I think done to a moderately sufficient level, it's gonna be hard to hide the smell, noise and heat at the same time. Fans can be noisy so I find I'm having to fine tune a compromise that keeps it all on the down low.
"A friend of mine dumped all of his clothes in a corner and hung a 125w cfl in there." - Standard! 😄 The floordrobe is a better place for that anyway.
I have two Milyn 150W equivalent full spectrum LED bulb sets each with flexible bayonet fittings and 1 metre UK extension cables going spare. They will be sold through eBay so if you're interested and UK based, send me a private message and I'll be happy provide a link.
