ETHOS & GHSC - (Diary #9)

VEGETATION WEEK 1 (Oct 1-7) ------------------------------------------------- We're starting the vegetation stage after about 2 weeks from open cotyledons. There's a few sets of true leaves and visible daily growth. Starting EC at 1.0 and will get to 1.2 at the end of the week. By raising the EC 0.2 per week, we'll be at 1.8-2.0 after 4-5 weeks and ready to go into bloom at high strength feeding. _______ Oct 1 • No water 🌡️- 26.9c ✅ ❄️ - 23.5c ✅ 🌧️ - 81% ✅ ☁️ - 67% ⬆️ 📈 - 0.76 ✅ 📉 - 0.67 ✅ 📊 - 0.7 ✅ ________ Oct 2 • No water • Hygrometer in other room for comparison _______________ Oct 3 (150ml) • Hygrometer in other room for comparison • 1.0 EC/6.0 pH • Added extra CFL light _________ Oct 4 • No water __________________ Oct 5 (250-300ml) Fed all pots @ 1.0 EC/6.0 pH and got a small amount of runoff from each. They were super dry because I've removed the domes permanently. Still getting some lower humidity (57%) but they seem to be happy. Shockingly, the Banana Daddy #5 is the largest plant so far. BD5 and both King's Tart are ready to be topped. ______________ Oct 6 (250ml) • Topped BD5/KT4/KT5 to 3rd node • All pots 75% dry • EC 1.0/6.1 pH 🌡️- 27.8c 🆗⬇️ ❄️ - 21.9c ✅ 🌧️ - 67% 🆗⬆️ ☁️ - 41% ❌⬆️ 📈 - 1.58 ❌⬇️ 📉 - 0.92 ❌⬇️ 📊 - 1.35 ❌⬇️ Brutal environment going on. Can't keep the humidity up and can't fit a dome on with the plants sizes. I've got 5 full 5 gallon buckets of water in a TINY area and can't get past 47%. Ambient humidity in the house is much lower now that I have to run the furnace. It was 27c outside on Wednesday and we got a high of 12c yesterday. ______________ Oct 7 (125ml) Pots are drying out super fast now, likely due to the hot and dry environment they're getting. Not sure how I'm going to water because my ph reader took a shit and I can't get it looked at until Tuesday. It's reading buffers 1.2 pH HIGHER (7.0 = 8.2) so I guess I'll have to wing it for now. So annoying.
