EarthBox [LOS] - Seedsman - Fuel D.OG

Introduction - Week 01 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 100753.58, Throughout the week, it was mainly basic refilling of the humidifier. Did a couple of IPM sprayings of Tweetmint which has seemed to have reduced the brown dust build up around EB1. Nice! Will most likely spray more next week. Also increased the PPFD to around 200 μmol/m2/s Not much else. The seedling in EB1 is recovering from the mite damage and new growth is looking a lot better. Overall a pretty simple grow week! Steady as she grows Ensign. 🖖 [START OF WEEK 01] ========================================================== WEEK 01 - Seedling 02/21/23 → 02/27/23 This Week's Estimated Goals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: 12 mol/m2/d PPFD: 185 μmol/m2/s VPD: 0.5-1.0 kPa This Week's Meter Readings & Averages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: 13.09 mol/m2/d PPFD: 202 μmol/m2/s VPD: 1.25 kPa Soil %: [17.8, 25.4, 19.8, 25.6] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 02/21/23 - Total Days: 007 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages - Temps: 76.0°F [24.4°C] - Humidity: 58.2% - VPD: 1.25 kPa - Soil %: [18, 26, 17, 26] ----------------------------------- - [09:22]: Good morning little ones! --- Quick morning check up! --- The seedling in EB2 is now fully uncurled and looking nice and happy! --- Wow! --- So far so good! --- Don't frack this up Ensign. --- Misted the dome of EB2 with distilled water (EB1's dome was still pretty wet). --- Vents fully open for EB1, vents slightly open for EB2. - [21:24]: Good evening my ladies! --- Both seedlings are looking great! --- The seedling in EB1 has definitely gotten taller! One of her leaves looks a bit gnarly. Hopefully new growth will be healthier. --- Refilled the humidifier with distilled water and Hydrogen Peroxide (~20mL). --- The brownish dust particles are still covering everything around the seedling in EB1 and is starting to pile up. --- Tomorrow plan to vacuum the tent.

Both are growing along and looking great! --- Okay! --- Before lights out, --- Time to clean the tent a bit and do an IPM spraying! - [09:40]: Filled a measuring cup with a cup of distilled water. --- Added 2mL of Tweetmint --- Mixed the solution and poured it straight into a spray bottle. --- Removed the humidity domes and gave them each a quick cleaning. --- Also vacuumed the tent. --- The dust particles were localized around EB1, so made sure to vacuum both the top mulch cover along with the floor of the tent. --- Once everything was vacuumed, - [09:49]: Misted the entire top of the mulch cover. --- Gave each grow bag a misting as well (~5 mists each). --- Even sprayed the floor and sides of each EarthBox. --- Also misted each of the cleaned humidity domes with the IPM solution before placing them back on. --- Vents fully opened. - [16:11]: Good evening my ladies! --- Nice! Both are looking great! --- EB1 seedling is clearly the tallest (she looks well over 2" tall). Also one of her first set of true leaves is a bit mangled, and I can clearly see leaf damage. This was probably from the over population of mites (I think). But she's recovering nicely! --- Placed the humidity domes back on. --- Vents fully open for EB1, vents slightly open for EB2. --- A bit of a rough start, but both seedlings are now fully growing and looking great! --- Also the brown dust is still present, but seems to be less than before. Will do another IPM spraying in a couple days. --- The EB2 seedling is looking incredible!
