Days 10 - 17 (from seed)
2/12/24 - 2/18/24
Lamp distance: 26.2" @ 50% power - w/ estimated PAR of 400
VPD: Leaf surface temperature 75 degrees - humidity set to 70% for vegetation (Day 13 - 17)
Feed schedule: 1/4 gallon RO water per day mixed with feed schedule ratios, mainly given to cover crop (Day 14 - 17 water only + splash of ferment)
IPM: EM5 ratio - 2oz per 1/4 gallon drench + cover crop foliar @ lights out (Day 10 - 13)
Notes: IPM from previous week worked. Fungus gnats are almost completely absent and haven't seen anymore signs of thrips in the cover crop/mulch layer. IPM on Day 12 consisted of spraying plants directly with EM5 at a ratio of about 1oz per 1/4 gallon before lights out, they managed great. Cookies & Berries and Mango Sky showing improvement, but Mango Sky showing deformities.
Also, trying a new sprouted seed tea w/ alfalfa, at a ratio of 6 grams dried per gallon. Sprout seeds and blend w/ 8oz water, then filter. High in auxins, good for rooting so choosing to use at this stage.
Then adding a new diy fermented plant extract made up of kefir whey, beets, beet greens, green apples, quartz and chalcedony. May contain Jasmonic acid, Salicylic acid and silica.
Supposedly could help with terpene production and overall plant vigor, slight NPK value.
No water on Day 16.
vanilla fizz f2. i just harvested 2 compound v autos from night owl seeds they are a cross between, chem city blues, chemdogging and vanilla fizz f2. short, stout, miniature versions of their parents. still drying, they smell like good oid seni dipped in vanilla extract. the buzz off of a couple of small inside buds is a creeper for sure, 2 tokes followed 10 minutes later with another and off you go still getting higher 30 minutes later and from that point on it is 1 toke weed to keep the happiness going. all in all very pleased with the cultivar from night owl and will picking up some more of their beans shortly. check out that grow and let me know what you think
