Sweet ZZ - RQS - DWC

12/28 Light increased to 100% intensity and timer switched to 12 hours. DLI measured at 33. Spotted trifoliation mutation while trimming and training the plants! 12/30 Added breadyeast C02 generator to the tent as humidity levels are slightly higher as the plants fill out. Added additional circulating fan as well. 12/31 Still fighting slightly high humidity under the canopy while lights are on - working to manage that with defoliation and active ventilation/circulation. 1/1 Spotting female expressions on 3 of 4 plants so far. Keeping a close eye on the last plant. Raised lights slightly to keep a 30-40 DLI at the center of the canopy. Noticing the uneven light distribution across the canopy is promoting super-dense growth at the center of the tent. Planning to turn on additional lighting to step up DLI spread across the canopy. 1/2 Added 80W of lighting, total light is 230 watts just before lights off. DLI at the center of the canopy is still 30-40, edges of the canopy are now 25 rather than 10. Spotted a female expression on the fourth hold-out plant. Not super convincing yet, so will keep a close eye on it over the next few days. 1/3 Defoliated a good amount of fan leaves that were contorted or trying to spend energy inverting or turning themselves. First day with additional lighting and the temp/humidity was no issue - plants looked super bushy when checking in the PM. They are drinking right around 1 gallon of water per day - topping off with equivalent nutrient solution until ppm climbs and then topping off with only pH-adjusted water until ppm stabilize or resevoir change required. Last week I topped the resevoir and did not drain and fill - so this week will need to drain and fill, pH controls are not a problem but PPM is climbing.
