📆 Week 2, 30 January - 5 February 2024 30 January - The VPD is averaging about 1.90 kPa, not the idea conditions of 1.0 kPa. So the seedling is under a little stress. But not to the point where its development is jeopardized, maybe some minor leaf curling. I’ll continue to monitor and check for any other signs of growth issues. 📑 To truely get into VPD you need to get very accurate readings at the proper locations within your grow. The more you learn about it the more you can drive yourself crazy being a perfectionist. The amount of control indoor growing has given growers is incredible. With the introduction of superior tents, it has given growers the opportunity to take plants to their genetic potential. 📑 Cannabis has about reached its peak in development. The real possibility of going beyond 35% THC potency naturally is nearly impossible. This is because cannabis can only produce so many trichomes and resin glands. It cannot stack trichomes on top of trichomes. Any further developement would require direct genetic editing. Why do that expense when we have extracts and hashes available. This is plant research science engineering fundamentals. 1 February - Seedling is growing steady in a stable environment. 5 February - Seedling is well on its way to progressing into a young healthy plant. 📑 During the winter months when freezing ground and cold air surround some of us, solving VPD solutions long term tend to be problematic. You can introduce cold vapor, adjust heat, ventalation, monitor and chase that number all day long. Eventually get it right, but then that plant will grow out of it in a few days. Until the plant takes up a good amount of space in your grow room anyway and helps stabilize conditions. VPD is a tool, and actually works. If your experiencing sudden issues with your plant, it should be one of the 1st things to check because it is easy and immediately correctable. But should you chase it daily? Well, I certainly do not, so it’s a matter of climate conditions, severe fluctuations, plant reactions, and personal preferences as to how and if you even use it at all. I use it more than I mention it in my notes, although it is not noteworthy unless it is in the stressful range. 🍽️ 30 January no change of initial nutrient solution 🐲 30 January no change to feeding schedule 🌊 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC .9 at 65 degree F 💡 Light power = 1 at 25%, 1 at 50% That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.
