EarthBox [LOS] - HSC - Garlic Budder

Introduction - Week 18|11 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9513.85, Another great week of growing! Transplanted some clones into fabric pots and am starting to re-think the next grow cycle. After this harvest, going to retire the EarthBoxes and am going to do a complete fabric pot cycle! Still completely surprised that all 13 clones rooted! Had way too many clones! Gifted a handful away but still have a few remain extras (may have to cull them). Wow it’s been getting hot in the grow lung room! Dimmed the light down a bit to reduce the heat. I think heat is more damaging then lowering the PPFD levels. Also did another round of defoliation. Steady as she grows!

At least until I get better at growing. --- Plan to re-use the soil, but will be growing in fabric pots (5-gallon and/or 7-gallon). --- Just trying to dynamically plan as I go along (basically just winging it). --- Also since I’m gradually transitioning into a perpetual grow style, these grow logs are going to start overlapping and will be covering two cycles. --- The next log will cover the girls in the veg tent as they flip into flower. It will also cover the cloning and veg stages for the next cycle (maybe even some seed popping). --- Plan to eventually expand the logs to cover 8 soil meters soon (4 for each tent).

There does seem to be a bit of leaf damage beginning to develop. --- The phenos in the EarthBoxes are looking perky, but the leaves are getting crispy. --- Hmm. Since I am also starting to see this on #4 (on a couple of upper fan leaves), I think this might be heat and or light damage? --- Since I cannot cool this tent down, just going to grow on. The summer cycles are always rough. --- The GGC2024 plant is looking happy and growth is still green! - [19:28]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- EB1's reservoir was completely dry! --- EB2's reservoir still has some water. --- Changed the battery for the #3 soil sensor. - [19:38]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 32% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 36% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 28% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 35% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] --- To help with temps decided to dim the light a bit. - [19:39]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Flower [12/12]' Schedule for the grow light. ------ Decreased the MAX from 4 to 3 --- The FC-6500 is now utilizing around 204.4W (at intensity 2 out of 10). --- Will take PPFD readings tomorrow. --- Adjusted the 'Flower [12/12]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Increased the VPD target value from 1.1kPa to 1.2kPa --- Will adjust these levels later as needed. - [19:28]: Poured 5 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Did not water EB2. - [20:01]: Checked on the clones and #3 on the floor, --- Growth is looking good! --- #3 is getting a bit droopy, but growth is vegging along.
