Light power consumption: 182,5 watt
Hi there fellow growers!
Iโm terrible late with updating my diary, but here it is. This update covers week 6 from Nov. 14 to Nov. 20 2022.
The first few days of the week I fertigated by hand most of the times, to make sure all the hot spots in the medium were cleared (see the previous week for more info on that). Also, on day 36 I increased the light power to 182,5 watt (320 watt is the maximum). Other than that, this week was mainly waiting for the plants to recover from my long absence and the topping of all four shoots on day 35. At the end of the week, the plants started to grow a lot faster and also drink a lot more.
I took the time to enhance the automated fertigation system a bit: I cleaned the whole drain removal system, as there were algae growing and I improved the self-made โhydro-ringโ. In preparation of that, I removed a few of the lower fanleaves, as they were in the way of the hydro-rings.
In the pictures of this update, youโll find an explanation of how the automated drain removal system works. In a later update, Iโll elaborate on the automated fertigation.
At the end of the week, the plants had grown quite a bit and they looked better. They smell strong for their age and those lower fan leaves became huge.
Thanks for stopping by and happy growing!
