Not much exciting this week other than I got a dehumidifier in the lung room. A legit one that takes the humidity down quickly and was much needed. Had to figure out the proper fan settings again, but got it right in the following week that I'll update in that posting. This week was the trial and error week and I never got it right. Humidity was anywhere from 55-65. I also had an episode with the controller where scrolling up turned AM to PM on a time and temperature and humidity went up both in the 80s for a few hours before I noticed the alerts. The perfect storm of that plus my watch battery being dead.
Oh and added Cal-Mag...forgot to mention that in last week's as well. Only adding that to 1 of the two feedings per week.
I should also note that I don't measure the light distance, I've been using a ppfd meter based on the light specs and adjusting the height accordingly as needed.
All good things come to an end! This next week will be the final one for this girl. It's been fun, can't wait to do it again! But ready for harvest until then.
So it was pointed out to me that while my phone has a macro lense, I was using it wrong, so now I have better pictures of trichomes for the this week once it is over.
It's a waiting game of is she ready now I guess? I'm hoping the temperature issue didn't cause anything major. It was about an hour before I noticed. The leaf colors are kinda of concern for me, but the rest of the plants looks okay otherwise. Trichomes are mostly cloudy I think 🤔. It's honestly hard for me to tell.
Slight discoloration in the leaves, which I'm attributing to overfeeding Open Sesame and Beastie Blooms. No other issues observed so far. Some lower leaves have fallen off here and there, not no major issues that I've seen.
Intake fan and filter were added, have AC exhausting outside rather than into another room. Next week I will be exhausting the tent outside the room as well. VPD is now dialed in to the range I set and never gets outside of it. The AC automation isn't working properly and I have a request in to that company, but in the meantime, I have alerts tell me when the temperature gets too high, then I manually turn on the AC and automations work for a day afterwards.
She's growing out more than up. Going to install an intake fan and get it going with the exhaust fan, as well as exhausting outside instead of in the room the grow tent is in. I will probably move the dehumidifier to this room when that is done since I'll (in theory) be able to use that room better to regulate grow tent conditions.
Humidity has been going up during lights out, humidifier is on the way. It only gets down to about 65 at the lowest at night, but the 5-10 degree or so drop is enough to make the humidity shoot up, which in turn throws the VPD off. Hopefully the dehumidifier resolves it. Will update at the end of this week.
