Dear diary,
Week 10 total and week 1 of flower is behind us. Will just be making sure all tops are exposed and somewhat in the right place as I let them stretch for about 21 days before some defoliation.
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
⏰ Day 67:
Feeding was given in the evening with a solution of 1.87ms and pH of 5.6. During this feeding, I guided most of the tops into their designated positions within the net, ensuring they are adequately spread out to receive optimal light.
I also checked the runoff, which measured 2.3ms, but considering the extra dissolved salts from full draining and collection that would be higher that it really is, I will aim to bring it back to the desired range of 1.65-1.7ms to be sure.
⏰ Day 68:
In the evening, the plants were fed with a solution of 1.64ms at a pH of 5.8.
⏰ Day 69:
Evening feeding consisted of a solution with 1.66ms strength and a pH of 5.9. I also took the opportunity to confirm that the lights were positioned at a 48cm distance from the canopy.
Additionally, I'm testing the exhaust system by venting it outside the room. Currently, the relative humidity (RH) ranges from 53-55% during lights-off and 58-60% during lights-on, while the temperatures remain around 18°C with lights off and 23.5°C with lights on. These conditions fall within the desired vPD (vapor pressure deficit) range of 0.95-1.2.
⏰ Day 70:
Feeding was carried out in the evening using a solution with a strength of 1.66ms and a pH of 5.9. To enhance air circulation, I added a fan at the top of the tent.
Furthermore, I checked the light intensity, which measured around 760-780ppfd.
⏰ Day 71:
During the evening feeding, the plants received a solution with a strength of 1.64ms and a pH of 6.4. The RH levels range from 55-65% as the girls get more bushy, while temperatures vary between 23-18°C, depending on whether the lights are on or off.
⏰ Day 72:
Evening feeding included a solution with 1.64ms strength and a pH of 6.4.
⏰ Day 73:
The plants were fed with a solution having a strength of 1.66ms and a pH of 6.0. As indicated by the feeding schedule, the A+B mix was increased to 3.5ml/l.
I also ensured that the lights were positioned approximately 50cm above the canopy and set to 90% intensity to provide additional heat.
Fantastic work! I'm a newbee. One question. Day 139 reads:- WC #3: 95% cloudy, 4% amber, 1% clear. And Day 142:- 99% cloudy - so would that be 1% amber? Thanks and well done.
@Xilpa, thanks man! This was just my 2nd grow as well so I would put myself in the newbee category as well to be fair haha
But yeah so by day 142, they were about 99% cloudy with 1% amber.
I do understand that it can sound a bit weird as I had 4% amber in a previous day, but it’s as the previous days I was just looking at the tops, and for the last check I gave a estimate more looking across the entire plant. So the very tops were probably at 5-10% amber, but at the bottom it was basically 0, so averaged out to about 99% cloudy.
I otherwise just focus on getting rid of almost all the clear, and I have a tolerance for about 10-15% max of amber, so I cut when either:
1. Less than 1% clear or
2. Over 90% cloudly and 10-15% amber.
