Week 2 Start.
Plants all looking healthy, decided to provide small amounts of nutrients to boost root growth, plants are loving the 100ml water daily, Blue Mage water absorption was slower than the rest, it does have different medium.
Day 8
- Blue Mage and Paladin slower drinking the water, the 200ml a day seems to last full 24hrs.
- Lamp is still 50cm away. Believe I keep it here until flowering stage?
- nutrient day
Day 9
- All looking good, 200ml water only
- humidity 65%
- temp 27c
Day 10
- Water hadn't quite dried out from last watering. only gave 50ml as soil wasn't dried out yet but was leaving alone.
- humidity 60%
- temp 20c
Day 11
- nutrient day - 1ml/l of nutes (Grow and micro), realised i may have started feeding too early, this is late seedling stage, will monitor now and feed with only water for next few days to see affect. My medium is a 60/40 potting/perlite mix so im hoping the oxygen flow is excellent and will not be a problem.
- 200-250ml for x3 . Blue Mage is still retaining moisture too much, decided to provide 50ml close (ish) to stem incase of roots not expanding? (maybe over worrying) but the leaves on Blue Mage also look slightly crinkled?
- humidty: 55-70%
- temp: 16 - 27c
- gnat flies on blue mage still, not affecting others because soil is different. Decded to lower clip fan so more air flow on soil, i think this might help with flies.
Day 12 (01/09 am)
- Humidity 70%
- Temp 21-28c
- NO WATER today, the plant still had not soaked up last feed.
- will water tomorrow.
- Blue mage still with one or two gnat flies, and leaves still crinkled.
Day 13
- thunderstorm on day before my de-humidifier turns up.... huimdity 60 - 84 % . Im counting on a bad reading..
- Day ended and was battling high humidity even into the dark cycle. Kept a good airflow but over several hours it rose and fell to 84% once. now below 70%. Dryer turns up today before day 14 hopefully.
- temp 19-24c
- good airflow - fan on max speed (2)
- carbon filter fan on low setting still.
- 200ml water to all but Blue mage, who had 50ml. still seeing about 1 gnat fly a time on BM. Drying out best i think i can. Because of high humidity im tempted to dry out for another 24hours before watering.. .
Day 14 - 02 September
- De-humidifier has been fitted!!
- Dealing with poorly insulated surrounding so after storms loads of moisture and high humidity for few days afterwards, that has been the issue.
- humidity now set at 60%. If H gets to 69% de-humid turns on. I think it turns off at 60 again.. or when 68.9% and lower? No humidifier has been attached on work 1 slot, we have blessed high humidity here so won't be a problem.
- temp: 19-27c
- Blue mage has been sprayed with Neem oil around soil and base of stem, need to check how much i can apply since I don't want the light to burn on the plants oiled leaves... need to google.
- Water: 200ml each, blue mage keeps retaining water and has flies on still but growing so nicely, feel like the gnat flies are still hatching and being killed. Neem oil really needs to get them gone. Been thinking, if the flies last another few days at this rate i may change soil ( might kill the plant ) or softly add perlite and make top soil of the medium more dry?
Wow buddy!! super nice buds
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done 🤝
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
