The second week is over and it was about as exciting as the first week.
I put in the SIP in the tent on the first day of the week, and all that extra soil increased the humidity so the humidity dome wasn't needed anymore.
All I've done after that is to check in on her every few days.
She has almost outgrown her first pot with roots coming out of the bottom, so I plan to transplant her in a day or two.
Height: 9 cm, Width: 12 cm
I left the DLI at 16 all throughout the week but increased it to 20 today.
Oh, I gave her a name. It truly was a shower thought as I was showering after a run, high as a kite of an edible, when I realized I had never named any of my plants. Right away, a name popped into my head. No idea where that name came from as I have never even met anyone with that name. The name is fitting though as she will be a mom plant, who will "birth" clones.
So, I present to all of you: Bertha, the MILF.

ยฟPodrรญas decirme como los has conectado a la Red elรฉctrica? ยฟCon un transformador?
Gracias!
@nonick123,
Hey.
Those are USB fans, so they are powered through regular USB. I use a USB output in the power socket I use for my light, exhaust fan, etc., but you can use a regular 5W adapter.
Search Amazon for "double fan USB", and you should find something similar. I spent 10 euros at the hardware store on angle brackets and metal profiles for attaching the fans to the tent.
The fans aren't very powerful but are enough for a young plant and for under-canopy circulation later in the grow.
I have to add a more powerful fan later in the grow for better circulation in the canopy, but no idea where to fit that fan... lol
It's challenging to grow in a 40x40 cm tent, but that is part of the fun :D
Curious what u were using to monitor ur DLI? Was looking at a proper meter but just curious what u maybe using. (Lux,par or phone app?)
Been trying to really monitor the DLI in my newer grows , but not to sure how close Photone actually is without having a Par Meter to gauge off of.
But appreciate the info u share in your journals !! Hope she explodes for u ! Best of luck!!
@Grow4Releaf,
I'm using a PHOTOBIO PAR Meter. Not nearly as good as an Apogee meter, but I can't justify that cost as a small home grower, so I went with cheaper one.
That said, the Photone app is supposed to be really good, so why not start with that one? Certainly can't beat the price ;)
Also, I believe that the accuracy compared to "real" PAR meters isn't all that important. The real benefit is to be able to quantify the changes. For example, the app reads a PAR of 800 in flower, but you want to push harder and increase it to 900. Easy enough to measure with the app, so does it really matter that the initial PAR really was 824, and the final 917?
I don't think so, although I still would like to have an Apogee ;P
Thanks for your well wishes, and I hope you have great grows as well. ๐ฑ๐ Your Platinum Jelly looks great! ๐๐ I've been wanting to grow In House for a long time, and I can't wait until we go legal so I can order some seeds for myself.
