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.
