Day 8: Well its been a solid week. Seedlings dont even have any imperfections. Specimen 1 that got over-watered from the runaway humidifier is about a day ahead of the others by the looks of it. Maybe I could up the water. Gave them a nice dose today and the top dried out quick. I can see its nice and moist deep in the pots, but not too wet.
The XS3000 PRO has been adjusted to 100% intensity, and put at a distance of 24 inches, casting 550 PPFD +/-10 on all specimens. I would appreciate a little more heat while still in the seedling stage. Temperature and RH holding steady at 81F and 85% respectively.
I ordered an additional 2.5x5 Vivosun tent to dry in. A strange tent dimension, to be sure. It has enough room to accomodate a couple of those 24-inch hanging racks and a fan with a bit of wiggle room. Going to pair it with an exhaust on a controller for that sweet 60/60 action (I barely know how to cure and this is the one thing people seem to agree on). Some sweet pics of that incoming.
Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned!
Day 11. The pace is picking up. I havent had to water much at all I premoistened with PH water, and its really holding on in there. When I probe it, its still nice and moist just under the surface despite looking so dry up top. The probe goes in very easy and you can tell theres plenty of air in there.
There was an ever so slight bit of upward leaf curl on the outer edges of a fan leaf or two, so I turned the light down to 85% at current distance. It seemed to remedy it rather quickly.
Day 14. All good under the hood. They didnt look thirsty but I gave them .5 liters each just to keep the top from being too dry. They did not seem to notice it. The top is already looking a bit dry in some spots after a few hours, but the middle and bottom are still nicely moist. Will see how the water dispersed tomorrow and decide. Watering in veg is kinda weird sometimes. I just dont want to go over. They always stunt on me. What a drag. Not this time though.
Thanks for checking out week 2. Check back later for a week 3 update.
@A_Stoned_Llama, I probably should have been more specific. The big one in the middle is a photoperiod. Its supposed to be a Huckleberry via The Bank Genetics out of Denver but it is not 100% certain thats what it is to be honest. There are 3 little autoflowers in the corners of other varieties. I got a little cramped for space so decided to gamble their outcomes on a 12/12 cycles with the photoperiod. They all flipped around the same time, and I needed some room.
@Brixx, Well now you can enjoy the fruits of your labor, until you decide to upgrade or expand again haha. Those autos look great though, seems like you learned enough already to have a very successful run, no doubt.
@Z1US, Hi. I started it on the 2nd click which is the 30% setting. Rains 250-300 ppfd down at these settings and distance. Mind you just using one of the XS3000s right now not both. Method is the UNI-T UT383BT Lux Meter paired to PPFD Meter app. The performance on these little units is actually quite impressive. I will start noting things like that in the weekly comment as they change.
Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to inquire about whatever. Will do my best to give a good answer.
