Days 25 -31 (from seed)
2/26/24 - 3/03/24
Lamp distance: 24" @ 100% power (estimate 650+ PAR)
VPD: leaf surface temperature averaging 78-81 degrees - humidity set to 65%
Feed schedule: Each plant receiving, gradually up to 1/3 gallon water daily - feed regiment once a week
IPM: EM5 1oz per 1/3 gallon, foliar spray at lights out to plants + cover crop
Notes:
Abstained from defoliating in general but some of the lowest leaves of the plants that are unhealthy and making full-time contact with the cover crop needed to be mulched
Using both alfalfa sst and corn sst once each this week
Day 26 - trimmed up some excess cover crop + top dress w/ 1/8 craft blend + 1/2 cup silica (montanagrow) + 1/4 cup BAS worm castings
Day 28 - Mango Sky, Cookies & Berries + Hot Damn all showing definitive signs of flowering as white pistils start emerging
Lamp distance changed to 16" from highest point of the canopy
Day 29 - Vanilla Fizz also now showing white pistils
Tucking leaves & bending tops to encourage auxin production in other branches seems to be working at leveling out the top of the canopy
Mango Sky turning around with some tops and Vanilla Fizz is still so dense and squat, here's hoping it has a decent stretch
