This week is where I figured out a more consistent overnight and daytime schedule. The AC rarely runs overnight and the RH is generally 58% and the temp 78-80 in the tent. I have the AC set to on at 81 off at 73 during the day and on at 77 off at 70 at night. I set to off at 70 during the day on the warmer and more humid days. This worked out so far. Also feed the proper amounts of Cha Ching i.e. once a week. Also switched to Tue and Sat feedings and will stay that way for the rest of the grow, watering in between as needed, which is usually every other day. Feeding cal-mag once per week as well
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.
