Alright, it seems I am falling behind my updates here.
So much to say, so little time to say it.
I had few issues with humidity and temperatures which were solved by implementing the following:
- extra hour of darkness, without any temperature fluctuation
- added a big ass dehumidifier which actually improved electricity consumption by adding warm air (so little to no more heating), lowered humidity drastically keeping it at a constant 55/60% (saving on fan extractor now activating very sporadically) and last but not least I am developing a great closed loop irrigation system. I can now recycle up to 85% of the water I use for feeding by connecting the dehumidifier to my water reservoir, also assisting on a constant supply of ppm neutral water to use daily.
I lowered solution ppm, but added an extra feeding during the day (6 hours prior lights out)
Tangy has been my own personal favourite and grew it quite a few times already, but here I am witnessing something new. We are in week 7 and she is barely in pre flower. After having done my research I determined that the combination between grotek monster grow and super thrive affects the hormonal balance of autos, prolonging veg despite the stress signals given by the expanding root ball: that alone is normally one the main trigger to initiate flowing in autos. I don't complain: in a word were everyone kind of snob autos for their short veg time, I may have found a way to prolong veg and increase yield.
all in all I am very happy of the developments.
From next week I will start using my canon camera to better capture the flowing and stretching stage.
