Swapped out my medicgrow light for the MarsHydro TSW 2000 as I can burn fewer watts on a 25% power setting to give the sprouts less than 300ppfd.
Dialed in the humidifier, heater, and fan to sail within the VPD settings for optimal growth.
Got the appliances all hooked up to the Mars Hydro power strip and set all the parameters on the app for heat and humidity ranges.
Sounds all Hi-Tech ... and getting there, but still hand watering until I have mastered controlling VPD better. I need that focus, discipline and practice, before I introduce an automated water source. It's more about the number of controls on the variables, as I overreached, before.
The plant and this community teaches us!
@gottagrowsometime, thanks for your feedback. Always appreciated! first time using Overdrive nutes and none of the trichomes darkened over the last two weeks surprising me. So, I let it run.
Even today, none of the trichomes ambered. I did get a bit of foxtailing, though the last two weeks.
I’m running 3 mix pack seeds and a Northern Lights seeds from Fast Buds right now. I’m three months in on the NL and it’s barely starting to bud now. I can’t really say that I like Fast Buds genetics. Plants are stunted so easily and they struggle with the same nutrient cycle I give ALL of my plants. Don’t think I’ll buy any more after I finish running the rest of these mix packs.
