Hey growmies.
Growth is going OK, juggling VPD a bit, its the Mars Hydro ts600 light that makes everything harder than it has to be, I have to pump so much extra humidity in the tent, because I'm forced to pull air through the tent to reduce the enormous heat this 100w light gives off. as a result, the humidified air in the tent is immediately replaced, bringing the RH of my lung room up in the meantime and making it harder to keep the correct VPD in both my flower and veg tents, you see the problem with putting the power supply of a LED light without heatsinks straight on the main body of the light, Mars Hydro, that heat has to go somewhere, and this is a light designed for a SMALL grow space, how could this be overlooked?
Sorry, tangent aside, I hate my veg lights, they're a scam, don't buy them.
Training! This week we did our first LST, her stem was quite woody and she stretched a bit, but I know her roots are well established so bend I did, I tore a little tear in her main stem, she didn't even notice, resilient little bugger.
Her leaves are a bit light, but growth seems fine, so I don't think she needs more N right now, though I will gradually increase the EC to 1 over the next week.
Peroxide seems to be keeping life in check, Im still researching Chlorine, probably going to end up using pool shock, make the growroom smell like an olympic swimming pool.
You cannot really grow without a sterilising agent or some beneficial bacteria, usually I choose the latter, but its expensive. You need one or the other for clean, healthy roots however.
See you next week growmies, really hoping we can keep this baby vegging for another 3 weeks minimum.
@Sweet_Seeds, really enjoyed this grow so far. she took a while to get purple, was worried for a second, really wanted to grow some purple weed, she's so big she just keeps going
