gaivotacega Pot still moist from initial massive watering.
Added no water, no nutes, nothing to it yet.
Temperatures started dropping from outside cold, now its averaging 25 deg. during day, 20 deg during night.
Switched light timing to turn off during hottest part of the day, still on 20/4.
Humidity raised because of raining all week, it's averaging 60% now.
Lowered lights a bit to 62cm, still don't know where to leave them.

gaivotacega She took her first bath this week, 3L of water with low nute usage.
Temperature and RH has been constant all week outside, so I didn’t adapt at all indoors.
Soil retains a lot of moisture, next time I’ll use a different soil with way more perlite, maybe 30%. This soil takes a while to dry. Let’s see how it goes during the next weeks.
Day 21
Started to smell.
Started to tuck some leaves to reveal under growth and LST.
Day 22
Watered 3L.
Lowered lights to increase temp as it is been getting colder outside.
Temp inside box has lowered to 21 deg. max and 17 lowest.

gaivotacega LST started this week. Made a light bruise on the branch while bending. Shouldn’t be a problem.
It has been getting colder let’s see how she behaves.
Day 26
Continued LST to get a more even canopy.

Lowered lights 7cm to 33cm height.

Another touch on LST to even the canopy a bit more.

gaivotacega Day 32
Gave her 3L of water with nutes, it was dry up to first knuckle of index finger.
First pistils showing up. Rain and lower temp are raising RH to 80% at times. So far so good!
Day 33
RH at 88%, I’m going to get a dehumidifier before things get worse. T raised to 23 deg. Will not feed ph perfect Micro on next feed because of high N symptoms - dark curly leaves.
Day 34
RH at 73%. T at 23 deg.
Updated the extraction fans, 4x more powerful now.
Day 35
RH at 70%. T at 23 deg.
Bought humidity absorbing pads, let’s see if it works.
Day 36
RH 80%. T 23 deg.
Humidity pack inside grow box doesnt work. I’ve placed three times more outside the box. Let’s see.
Day 37
RH 70%. T 21 deg.
Humidity packs filled really quick. They work better if I use a lot of them. RH lowered.
Day 38
RH 72%. T 20 deg.
Rain stopped, cold arrived.
Nothing new, seems stable. The new exhaust fans are crazy strong, don’t even need an oscillating fan inside, the weed moves enough already as is.

gaivotacega Day 39
RH 70%. T 22 deg.
Seems droopy, I think it was underwater since I let her dry too much. Some leaves are yellowing a bit and showing some brown spots. I’ve reduced nutes and raised light as it was getting too close and probable stressing her.
Day 40
RH 72%. T 19 deg.
Looking much better now. She must have been underwatered and drooping has improved.
Day 41
RH 80%. T 19 deg.
She looks way healthier today. Humidity is rising because moisture absorber calcium chloride boxes leaked water inside the tent. I’ve removed them and wiped excess water. I won’t use these inside the tent anymore, only around it on the outside.
Day 43
RH 80%. T 20 deg.
Can’t seem to lower RH. Can’t get a dehumidifier and have no grow closet space to have one in there.
Other than that she seems to be growing ok. Much more pistil count than yesterday.
Some older fan leaves have lighter green turning to yellow on the tips. One already has spots. My guess is the hot soil finally showing itself.
Day 44
RH 75%. T 19 deg.
Nothing new to add, mostly colas getting fat now.
Looking good :) just a suggestion, you may want to lay of the nutes a bit. Looks like she may have some Nitrogen Toxicity (dark green, curling leaves). I'm having the same problem, hoping it'll grow out of it.
@b_C6969, same, leaves feel rough like sand paper. Older lower leaves are showing some yellow spots from nitrogen toxicity I assume. She is stretching so I assume she’ll grow past it :)
@gaivotacega, happy to help :) how do the leaves feel? mine are very rough. Flushing helped a little bit, but tbh i think it'll be fine once it pushes past it in flowering. good luck! :)
@b_C6969, good point, didn’t even notice it :) I guess it’s mostly because of soil, it’s too hot specially nitrogen, even tho I have it quite a wash before seeding.
Now I know why the leaves are so curly
Whats your grow space like man? you're gonna want to sort that RH% problem out pretty soon, you're at high risk for things like Powdery Mildew and Budrot. Is there any way to install an exhaust fan? to get rid of the stale air, that combined with a fan moving the air around, will help with humidity. good luck! :)
