7/3 Hot as fuck today. Japanese beetles were around. I killed a few. I'm going to have to go over and keep an eye on things. It reached 90° today for the majority of the day. I watered around 1pm as I noticed most of the bags were very light. I'm glad I held off on the BT. I've dealt with jpn beetles before so hopfully that won't be an issue. Things are getting big. It won't let me upload any pictures or the video I did. I may upload it to past week. Went back over at night and and plants looked dropy but it was after 7pm and they were just going to sleep. 7/4 Didn't take photos this morning. Found some jpn beetles. That's the damage I've been seeing. I went back over last night to hunt them but I only got two. There weren't any others. No biggie. I'll put some pics up from today after I get back 7/5 Didn't get a chance to check the plants out today. My intuition tingled around 1pm and I had just gotten home and I ran over to check them. They displayed minor signs of heat stress as seen in the pics (due to the super high humidity and 90° weather) and the bags were light. A few were REALLY light. I could see they needed water. I WATERED 4 1/2 GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. DO TO THE HIGH TENPS AND WINDS IVE HAD TO WATER THE LAST THREE DAYS IN A ROW. IVE SLOWLY STRARTED INCREASING VOLUME. I don't want to water until I get a shit ton of run off because I want to keep the nutes in my soil as long as possible. As you can see things are going great. Minor pests but notjing major. They're growing at a very rapid pace. I'll need to add another layer of supports soon and begin to LST some of these girls. I've got one seedling in a 10 gal and I'm pretty sure it's a feminized red runtz but it's in preflower and looks and SHOULD be a female but I haven't seen the white hair yet. Looks like a female preflower though. I do have one auto though in a 5 gallon tjats doing good too. I have a bunch of pics but the internet is too slow. I'll upload tomorrow. Started pouring around 6. 7/6 Poured sheet rain all night. After it had Bern super fucking hot and I watered my plants with 4 1/2 gallons. Oh well. If I didn't water we wouldn't have gotten the rain. The fabric bags makes watering easier. The wind will dry out the medium. We do have some rain in the forecast. A pallet fell over and knocked my 5 gal bucket with tje auto into a 10 gal seedling but it held the pallet up and didn't damage anything. Out of all the ways it coyldve landed it landed just right to not hurt anything. Everything is super healthy. I do have some random pest damage but it's minimal. I'll decide whether to use a spray or not. Didn't take pictures this morning. Was pressed for time.

First time using led to hold plants until outdoors. I have only veg switch on. Bright blue with white. I read you can use both switches from the start. Should I? Clones are hardening well. I don't want to burn them. I'm using Tatu 1000 grow light. Clones in 1 gal soil for

Blue light/veg side on alone will keep plants shorter with smaller leaves. Red/will make taller with bigger leaves for taking up energy. It depends what you want really. I would personally turn on both so that it’s receiving everything. Full spectrums the way to go imo. Good luck in whatever you decide & with your grow

you should use whatever provides the most DLI the plants can handle -- if you want to maximize growth. 100w and very likely not an efficient light producer, so maybe 30watts per sq ft will do it with that light on a 18/6 light cycle. So, depending on hanging distance and the area you are covering.. if it's 4sq ft, you want the full thing on for 18h. .. observe and react to plant growth. The resulting length of stem that develops over time between 2 internodes is your guide. too tight = need less. too long= need more. the effects of red and blue are real and measurable against a control group, however, these effects are fairly small effects. Total light applied is by far more important. Read up on Daily Light Integral (DLI) on wiki is fine.. lots of decent sources for that one... the gist is fine, you don't need to memorize the math.. but puts applying light to a plant in proper perspective.. i.e. it is about photons received per day.. not too little and not too much - the whole observing the internode development above helps fine-tune this. hours of operation are 1:1 related to resulting DLI, all other factors remaining the same. Increasing rate of photon/s applied is 1:1 directly related to resulting DLI, all other factors remaining the same. e.g. going from 18h to 16 h, while at same power and hanging distance drops DLI 1/9th. As long as you give enough light to avoid flower, this is a valid option to impact how much light you give per day... just as effective as a dimmer knob or using veg or bloom switch on its own etc. sso the answer is it depends... if not trying to maximize growth between now and moving it outside, i'd just give it enough so that the plant doesn't stretch too much.. obsererve and react.

Good luck in the heat. Not that it’s been a thing this year, but in high heat I find that misting the air during peak sun helps take the edge off the heat with evaporative cooling (swamp cooler) and spraying the black grow bags (or shading them) helps keep the roots cool. Also potassium silicate keeps the stems tough. Good luck.

Won't let me add a new week or edit the week that I have. I'm going to end up switching apps if they don't straighten this shit
