Opened center of coco mix and placed just coco. (2 inch diameter pocket)
Created 1 cm deep divot into the just coco and watered lightly.
Put seed in divot. (12/16)
Sprouted 5 days later. (12/21)
Light on 16/8
~ 22 C at soil surface with ~ 125 PPFD
Left humidity dome on seedling until not enough height for sprout or 5 days have passed.
The last week the light schedule is 16/8
Next week going to increase the light schedule by 1 hour once every 2 days until light schedule become 20/4
Focused on VPD of 0.6 - 0.7 kPa
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 24 C
125 PPFD
Light schedule went from 16/8 to 20/4 by postponing light shut off by 1 hour once every 2 days
Focused on VPD of 0.6 - 0.8 kPa
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 24 C
200 PPFD
Focused on VPD of 0.6 - 0.8 kPa
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 24 C
260 PPFD
Noticed pistils already emerging. This is the only plant in the grow that is doing this. I'm going to pretend I didn't see them and let them do their thing.
I heard that early veg should be from 400-600 ppfd for autos. I saw this a coupe times on reddit.
Will be increasing ppfd by 50-80 once a day until ~500
Focused on VPD of 0.8 - 1 kPa
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 24 C
500 PPFD
Going to increase to 700 ppfd by the end of next week
ACInfinity controller hasn't been working properly for the past couple weeks so I'm getting a new one shipped. It's taking over 2 weeks for the entire process (including shipping)
Controller couldn't recognize devices and kept turning on and off my light, humidifier and fan.
That being said my VPD was a large range this past week (0.3 - 1.2 with .8 avg)
I'm giving more water a week now.
Focused on VPD was 0.9 - 1.2 with 1.0 kPa avg
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C
670 PPFD
New ACInfinity controller came in and it has been working fine.
Top dressed with nutes & FF Coco Loco and gave more water throughout the week. the leaves feel more elevated.
Noticed nute burn and read about DLI. I'm adjusting ppfd for this next week to get abt 43.2 DLI (600 PPFD @ 20 hrs)
Focused on VPD was 1.0 - 1.2 with 1.1 kPa avg
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C
600 PPFD / 43.2 DLI
More nute burn. Higher VPD for a couple days because I was playing with light height to test the PPFD gradient with height and it became warmer with not enough humidity.
Going to composte-tea next week
Focused on VPD was 1.2 - 1.4 with 1.25 kPa avg
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C
600 PPFD / 43.2 DLI
My composte molded -_- i didn't composte tea
Read about water being more close to 6.5 for more nutrient uptake so going to aim for ~6.4 pH next week
Focused on VPD was 1.2 - 1.4 with 1.25 kPa avg
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C
600 PPFD / 43.2 DLI
Top dressed with 1 tblspn / gal of 284 Gaia green
Composte Teaing with worm castings next week
Gave 6.4-6.5 water pH this week. Noticed a little fading due to potential lack of nutes, but hasn't really continued since top dress with the higher pH waterings. They have been putting on a lot of bud mass so I'm sure they're inhaling nutes rn.
abt 3-5 L of water per watering, once every couple of days.
Have to raise the light for another plant in the grow so this will get less light from now on.
Focused on VPD was 1.2 - 1.4 with 1.25 kPa avg
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C
500 PPFD / 36.0 DLI
Composte Tead about 3L
Fading stopped. Will give it calmag next week as well. Seems like pH adjustment and composte tea helped, but I think it was mainly the increase in pH to ensure my microbes breakdown the nutes.
about 3 L of water per watering, once every couple of days.
fatty buds
Focused on VPD was 1.2 - 1.4 with 1.25 kPa avg
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C
630 PPFD / 45.4 DLI
Added my light from my 2x2 set up to help give this some extra light
Doing 1.5 L every day, giving OAC CalMag 0-0-0 from TPS in every watering from now on. Using cocoforcannabis.com for watering guide.
Cloudy trykes but gonna wait for some amber
fatty buds
VPD:
Focused on VPD was 1.2 - 1.4 with 1.25 kPa avg
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C
Light:
630 PPFD / 45.4 DLI
Watering:
Doing 1 L @ 6.5 first half of week and saw pH run off was 6.9. 6.2 the second half of week in hopes to decrease run off but it instead increased to 7.4.... bruh
Gave it 6.0 water today and it dropped to 6.9. I'm conservative with pH because I want to support microbial life which I read was 6.3-7.5 pH
Nutes/Treatment:
giving OAC CalMag 0-0-0 from TPS once every 4 waterings from now on. Going to composte tea once every 4 waterings as well
Other:
besides pH it was a good week. Getting a small 200W heater to increase VPD in the tent. I already have a dehumidifier hooked up but it's not enough
Waiting to cloud up more... it's slower bc I have less light on it still but i added another light for it
We took a tester nug and dried it in my levoil @ 105 F for 3 hours. Letting chlorophyl degrade rn
VPD:
VPD was 1.3 - 1.5 with 1.4 kPa avg
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C
Heater worked in raising VPD. Very happy.
Light:
630 PPFD / 45.4 DLI
Watering:
Watered 1L every day with 6.3 pH. I ran experiment on another plant in tent with pH and nothing worked so I'm gonna stay at 6.3-6.5
Nutes/Treatment:
giving OAC CalMag 0-0-0 from TPS once every 4 waterings from now on. I have to figure out an aerating system to brew composte tea at the same time as the water.
Other:
Trykes are cloudy af with little amber on calyx. Not enough to chop but soon.
VPD:
VPD was 1.2 - 1.4 with 1.25 kPa avg
Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C
Light:
630 PPFD / 45.4 DLI
Watering:
Watered 1L every day with 6.3 pH.
Nutes/Treatment:
giving OAC CalMag 0-0-0 2 ml/gallon = 0.5 ml / liter from TPS once every 4 waterings from now on. I have to figure out an aerating system to brew composte tea at the same time as the water.
Other:
Trykes cloudy and amber. ~5% amber. Gonna chop this weekend.
Easy growing plant. Quick to tell you what's wrong.
Would have been taller if I hadn't had stressors mid veg. Crazy branching.
Smells sour mango heavy. Loud
Smoke report 2-3 weeks after chop
Hi, My 2 cents:
Do not worry about runoff.. It is best to water less and let the roots have oxygen... Also... The input PH is what matters... Between 6.3 and 6.8 is perfect for health and fastest growth. don't measure output PH, it will be different always.
@@OrganicLivingSoil, I'll heed your advice on the measuring runoff because throughout this past week, I tried many factors on other plants that are now done or close to done and haven't had any changes, except it going up once or twice. I dont know what's causing it so I'll keep it at 6.5 as I was doing before I started playing with it. I tried a day break of water on my pineapple express and it got so dry it shrunk from the walls and cracked at the top... I was baffled.
