Round up for the week.
All above information is for me to remember what I did.
The 1st week has been OK. I have managed to keep the VPD in check throughout the week with the aim of keeping it between 0.4 and 0.8
I remembered the WiFi sensor doesn't constantly communicate with the app mid way through the week so managed to dial things in closer to the end of the week. How the sensor works is when the temp moves 0.5c from its last sent reading it then transmits the new reading or if RH moves 5% since last sent reading.
The DLI was a little on the low side for the week as 2 strains stretched and toppled over.
#3 Gorilla Cookies FF has done OK this week, again this one stretched a little due to the light strength not being high enough, next time I'll aim for 12DLI at soil level to prevent it happening again. Development wise she is exactly where I would expect her to be.
Power used for week
Light
(1.23+1.61+1.61+1.61+1.60+1.60+1.64)=10.9Kw
Extractor
(0.05+0.05+0.05+0.05+0.05+0.5+0.5)
=0.35Kw
Fans
(0.32+0.33+0.33+0.33+0.33+0.33+0.33)=2.3Kw
Humid
(0.08+0.13+0.17+0.07+0.13+0.07+0.12)=0.77Kw
Radiator
(0.93+0.81+1.18+0.9+1.16+0.84+0.68)=6.5Kw
Total for the week=20.82Kw
Back in a week.
Thanks for stopping by.
@Aldo90, its awesome mate. Instead of writing stuff down on paper I open notes on my phone and write it all down there, saving the planet by using no paper.😅
@ironf1st, I found a app on my phone called notes, I now document everything in that as I usually have my phone on me when checking. I then copy and paste the relevant information into my diary. Life has become a bit easier that way.
Jesus there is so much bush there . And you are defoliating already.. 😳. All of the FB FF seem to be like this from the diaries I've seen.. 🤔 . Looking super healthy though..👍🏼
Following your grow!
How do you manage to have two different setts of setting for radiator & humidifer, one sett for lights on and another one for lights off? What is the gadget you are using for it?
In my mind I will need to have two radiators and humidifer, one of each for lights on and one of each for lights off. But I assume you are using some climate control gadget for that
@Hashy,
So is this i-smart-life.com, right?
I do see some wifi pug on website but I dont see wifi temperature/humidity sensor.
Can you provide some link for that sensor?
Also, what will happen if you temporaly lose internet conection at your grow place? I assume you will only not be able to change the settings but the system (radiator, dehumidifier) would still operate under current setting?
This app with its gadgets it game changer, at least for me
@Vlada, there is a WiFi temperature/humidity sensor in the tent, all equipment are connected to WiFi plugs. The app smart life is where the magic happens. I have set parameters in the app, lights get switched on at 06.00 am and off at 00.00, the parameters for the radiator and humidifier are set to be triggered petween 06.01 and 23.59 then I have a different set of parameters set between 00.01 and 05.59 for lights out. So I use 1 radiator and 1 humidifier but depending on the time of day to what triggers them off.
Looking nice 💚💨✌️🏻 How far are the phenos from each other ? Did they all start to flower in the same time ? I am just growing out gorilla cookies auto I have 4 phenos and they are all in different stages one finishes around 9 weeks the other around 10-11 weeks the next one 12 weeks and the last one probably like 13-14 weeks all together. I am thinking of trying the gorilla cookies fast flowering but I am worried it will be similar with the phenos and there might be only one which really takes 7 weeks and the others take much longer, if they are 8 weeks max i wouldnt mind too 🤷♂️✌️🏻 what do you think ?
@FacelessGardens, hi mate, they all flowered very closely together, the gorilla cookies was the 1st to start with the pistils then a few days later it was the wedding cheesecakes turn and a few days after that it was the topicana cookies Turn. I'd say they all started pumping out pistils within a week of each other. I'm a good few weeks ahead in the grow to where my diaries are at and I'm thinking the gorilla cookies is going to be the 1st to finish and the wedding cheesecake and Tropicana Cookies so far look like they will finish together about a week or slightly longer after the gorilla cookies.
@GrowingGrannie, this one is pretty damn good. Snapped the main and it was hanging on by a few fibres, taped up and has carried on growing no problem, maybe a few days to recover.
Me gustan los detalles bien explícitos y las 3 variedades de FF, voy a seguirte para ilusionarme que algún día voy a tener tus genéticas jajajaja!
Buena suerte
@FacelessGardens, I'm a bit behind on my diaries, I have just started week 9 of flower and the gorilla cookies is ready for harvest, the wedding cheesecake is a few days behind that and the Tropicana Cookies is a few days behind the cheesecake. I could have harvested the gorilla cookies at the end of week 8 but I'm going leave it till end week 9. All should definitely be harvested before end of week 10.
