Devil Cream Auto DWC

02/04 - It's been a bit chilly around here... got up this morning and it had warmed up to -20F - thankfully, I don't have to contend with wind chills inside 'cause they are MUCH worse!) I had had to enlist the help of a small heater (whose electricity usage is outrageous but...) to get through the night, grabbed a small clothes rack and hung wet towels in behind this little one to help with the humidity. You see, this closet has an uninsulated wood floor and sits over an uninsulated dirt-floor basement that is, for all intents and purposes, open to the elements... normally, this is a good thing - especially when growing a purple strain since they like cooler temps and, growing DWC, the bucket also stays pretty cool (water temp is 59F) ... but this bit of chill that we're getting is kind of severe and I wasn't wanting the temps in the closet to get into the 40s with 10% humidity which probably would have happened without the heater and extra wet towels... And she was absolutely happy as a clam when I peeked in at her when I got up. She's telling me this morning that she's getting hungry... her EC went down while the pH stayed rock solid and she's drinking - not much but still drinking - so I will give her some additional nutes. Her bucket at the moment is comprised of: 4.7g each of Base and Bloom, 1tsp Calimagic, 1 tsp Rapid Start and 3tsp Terpinator. Going to add 0.75g each of Base and Bloom and 1.25g Shock & Awe (PK booster) - that ought to bring her EC back up to where I want it... AND give her the PK that she's needing more of right now.. I've given up on the LST - I just want to get her to a harvest, as meager as that might be with all she's had to contend with from me having to "learn" new nutes.... 02/05 - no sooner had I said "given up on LST," I went in and LST'd her! LOL! And she's responding magnificently... Her EC could be a little higher but right now I'm not going to fiddle around with success... she's looking lovely! 02/06 - The prospect of my having to keep a VERY expensive space heater going in order for her to be comfortable drove me to set up my old tent in my living room... Moved her into it yesterday along with the two seeds that are germinating... and she was MOST appreciative. I guess, until I can do some fairly decent renovations on that closet, it's not going to be a suitable grow site for winter grows here in Maine... ah well... 02/08 - She's extraordinarily happy in her tent with the little babies surrounding her (actually, there is only ONE baby right now but hope springs eternal for the other seed!). I doubt I'll take her back to the closet until at least March ... it continues to be fairly cold and she is responding well to the warmth in the tent... but I WILL take her back if for nothing else than to give the seedlings their own chance to shine AND to encourage her purples to come out and entrance me...
