VPD: VPD was 0.6 - 0.8 with 0.6 kPa avg Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C Cups stayed on until end of W1. Put holes in cups to allow humidity to let out but stay in range. Light: 175 PPFD / 12.6 DLI Watering: I spray surface when it gets dry. Not enough to really soak into the substrate, just enough to create a little humidity. Aerated water w/o pH modifiers. Nutes/Treatment: None Other: I literally broke its neck. I was watering another plant and the clear cup dome slid off and broke this girl's neck... I bandaged it with a garden wire and had ~0.6 kPa. It came back! Still injured but it can stand on its own comfortable now :) Giving it wind training now on level 1 on AC Infinity fan. Just enough for jiggle :)

VPD: VPD was 0.8 - 1.1 with 1.1 kPa avg Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C Took off domes to wind train. I'm getting another system made to house these early vegers. Light: 175 PPFD / 12.6 DLI -- 275 PPFD / 17.82 DLI Transitioned the tent to 18 hours for these photoperiods. I have an auto flowering at the same time. Watering: Watered gently about 50 mL 2x a week and while letting the cups sit in a drip pan with water (24 hours, 2x a week) in it to moisten the lower half of the cup. Aerated water w/o pH modifiers. Nutes/Treatment: None Other: It's alive! I'm so happy how well the stem is thickening and how it has been straightening itself. Just giving it passive airflow from my circulating fans now. I didn't like the constant direct airflow at level 1.

It looks a little over watered so I'm giving it more time and figuring out what it likes. Nutes/Treatment: Transplanted into 70:30 Coco: Worm Castings and then topped off with plenty of perlite. Mixed 1 Tblsp of GG All purpose organic nutrients. Other: Transplanted into 1 gallon after 2 weeks post germ. Healthy root system.

VPD: VPD was 1.0 - 1.2 with 1.1 kPa avg Added heater to intake. 25-27 C Light: 475 PPFD / 20.52 DLI Watering: Watering with 6.5 pH aerated water 2 L in bottom feeding basin once every 2 days. I give it during night to avoid excess humidity during day cycle. Compost tea once every 4 waterings. Nutes/Treatment: Other: Using jute rope to LST to continue evening out canopy. Flipped to flower. Did a day on 15 hours then 12 hours. Took clones the same day I started the flip so I wanted it to be easy on her. 3rd mutation topsite lookin really cool. dope ass shit I think it's mad short because I broke it early on. you can kinda see the pale right below the first node. prolly stunted mad hard. No haircut 4 plants in a 3x3 makes it very low VPD because of the amount of water in the top layer and/or bottom feed basin, as well as the transpiration from the plant itself. I only have a 4 inch inline so I wonder if a 6 inch will help this issue more.

Raised bed to increase light I think I can start cutting back leaves once the stretch stops Heater and 6 inch fan doing the trick for all these in this 3x3

Did this to diffuse the nutrients throughout the medium before switching back to bottom watering. Nutes/Treatment: CalMag 0.5 mL / L for 2 L bottom water once every 4 waterings. No cal mag when top watering Top dressed by sprinkling power on top and massaging nutrients into top 1/2 inch layer of coco. Other: Put the trellis on. would do earlier into flower next run

Nutes/Treatment: Other: Didn't get an image but I got a couple purple trykes on this bad girl Didn't calmag this week and the leaves are dark green so I may want to continue using calmag to pH down once in a while so I'm not only giving it phosphoric acid everyday to drop the pH.
