What, me, Genius?

This past week witnessed a serious challenge that was verified and resolved fairly quickly... excess humidity. Things can get fairly hot and sticky here in the central Northeast and the last couple of weeks have been no exception. The weather ultimately caused my grow tent's humidity to reach 80%+. I acted quickly and purchased a Midea dehumidifier, which turned out to be a Godsend - it works efficiently, emits minimal heat, and can be controlled remotely through a minimalist, yet slick app. Crisis averted! Otherwise, the ladies have seen some changes in their feeding solution. They're no longer imbibing upon Silica or Humic Acid for the remainder of the grow, and they've been switched to Sour Dee from their Sugaree supplement. In addition, their dosages of Terpinator and Rock Resinator have been increased as we approach the initial stages of Late Bloom. In addition to the foregoing changes, the ladies have also seen a change in their environment. More specifically, the lighting intensity of the PhotoBio MX has been increased to 85% at the end of last week and will be increased to 100% next week. I'm hoping that the ladies will thrive under increased lighting at this future juncture. It should also be noted that my installation of the Spider Farmer UV light bars appear to be paying off. The plants are secreting massive amounts of resin, causing the foliage to feel sticky to the touch. This could be coincidental to the ladies' stage of growth but I don't recall this occurring in my last grow - of course, my last grow was powered with a 100 watt light and a tent with walls as comparatively thick as tissue paper in relation to my new Gorilla Grow Tent. But still... In any case, that's the story this week. Until next time... ***UPDATE*** I've decided to switch out the ladies' Terpinator supplements with that of Purpinator. Out of an abundance of curiosity, I'd like to see if I can't induce the Blackberry Moonrocks and Frozen Black Cherry (and maybe the G13 Genius) to "purple up". While I'm not sure that they will actually do so within the relatively little time remaining in this grow, I figured it's worth a shot. And now I'll really leave everyone alone for a few days!
