Auto grow 12/19/2022

~Week 3/ 15-21 days from sprout ~VPD: Looks good Not the perfect VPD, but its also not terrible. Sitting right between 0.8-1.2 ~DLI: Around 30ish now. Will increase as plants grow into the light ~Feeding: Will be fed soon. I need to refer to my journal from last grow before I decide when to feed ~Watering: Auto watering system. Also hand watering w/ pressure sprayer as deemed necessary Day 15 notes: Looking good today. November is officially not viable. This is pretty disappointing as all I heard about Mephisto was praise, yet only 80% of the seeds I planted germinated. So far, they are not doing great in my books. If Mephisto sees this and wants to send some free seeds reach out lol. I had November under the soil for about 7 days, and then in fresh water for three days continuous. Every other seed germinated, November did not. I will be planting some Royal Chantenay carrots in place of November. The other plants are looking good though, and so is the cover crop that I have planted. Day 16 notes: Not checked today. Day 17 notes: Looking good today. Did the 1st top dress. I used 1/4 cup of 5-2-4, and 1/2 cup of worm castings. I will say that I did notice that it was certainly more difficult to top-dress with the cover crop in the way, but I did manage it. I decided to top-dress early because last grow I encountered an N deficiency in early-mid flowering. The plants are looking super healthy. About day 20 I will be planting the carrots. They are supposed to be 60 days seed to harvest, and these Ripley's OG x Strawberry Nuggets cross should be finished in about 58-63 days. Leaning towards the 63 day mark currently. Day 18 notes: Looks good today. Refilled humidifier and took some pictures. Day 19 notes: Looks great today. Refilled humidifier and took some pictures. Should probably trim some of the cover crop soon. Day 20 notes: Looks good. Will chop some cover crop tomorrow when I plant the carrot seeds. Day 21 notes: Plants are healthy but very small. They should start flowering within the next week. I do not expect yield to be very high from this tent and I am very glad I planted 5 seeds. Also chopped the cover crop today to use as a sort of mulch layer. End of week summary: Good week. Plants are small but look healthy. Misc. comments: 1/6/23 today I reamended the soil I had just pulled from my 4x4 yesterday. All of it is reamended, and will be ready to go in a few weeks.
