This week ia am planning to let it grow just like this. Hopefully I will receive a plant camera next week to monitor my VPD. Also added an IRheater to keep temperature stable The infrared heater does its job, but I find it a waste of electricity, 3.6 kWh in one night. So I've decided to install a gas heater instead, which delivers the same result at a much lower cost and also provides additional CO2. The heater can then keep the temperature above 21˚C with the lights off. The natural gas heater will be used with the lights on. I need to quickly find a CO2 sensor because too much CO2 has a counterproductive effect, as I've already noticed. Approximately 1200 PPM at 32˚C is optimal as long as I can maintain a DLI of 35. Great technology is on the way. Added: Installed CO2 burner, run it for 6 minutes every hour. Temp raises from 22˚C to 27˚C in about 7 minutes. CO2 detector (just colors, no values) doesn't alarm so not above 1500PPM CO monitor also no alarm :) Running for 4 hours now and a visible change is there. Tomorrow I will know if it is ok or not. Added a few pictures. Lets see if we can see the difference tomorrow. 26-05: Added Dimlux Maxi controller for CO2 and VPD. Works nice. 28-05: Topped a few 31-05 Added additional 300W to heat the stuff up. RH is stable but high on 72%. Could add a dehumidifier but since CO2 is already there and my VPD is around 0.8 I thought adding light would be cheaper. Can go up to 33˚C before my floor is heating up too much. Also cleaned the watertank. So from now on they are on Ata Max

Has anyone worked with a leaf temperature camera before? I am considering purchasing one to regulate based on Daily Light Integral (DLI). My lights support daisy chaining, allowing me to simulate sunrise and sunset. One of the benefits should be reduced condensation due to more gradual warming. Additionally, by controlling based on DLI, it is possible to achieve optimal lighting durations (my targets are a DLI of 35 for growth and DLI 30 for flowering). Using a CO2 sensor, I can also determine the CO2 deficit for each cycle.

I see some root tips on a few Black Sugar plants, but not all. Peyote Zkittlez... not much to see. Lava Freeze, also a few root tips. Royal Amnesia... nothing at all... I think they might be too old by now. All lamps are still working, unfortunately one dimmer is out; I'll order a new one tomorrow. Currently running at 50W except for the last one, which is running at 240W. Extractor fan naturally not installed yet; unnecessary noise and a high humidity level are appreciated in the beginning (basement from 1930s). Water EC is 0.3, water pH is 7.6. EC is now at 1.4 (250-liter tank, 250ml rootfast, 125ml CalMag, 125ml AtaZyme, 125ml ATA Awa Leaves A+B) pH 6.5, Temp. 21˚C. I took 30 liters of this mix to water the coconut and this served as the reference value for the Blumats. Now hoping it works directly from the tank through the Blumats. If so, a very cost-effective hydro setup. Yes, it says 250 liters. Unfortunately, the nutrient tank ended up being slightly larger. It just doesn't fit under the boiler. If I'm doing something completely wrong, please let me know. I've been out of the loop for a while and only have experience with Blumats combined with a Blumat tensio. Unfortunately, I've sold all that stuff and don't plan on buying it again until I make a definitive decision about the house."

@CuriosityWebster, well, I never harvest before they are all cloudy and amber.. that would be a shame for the amount of time invested..

@Ganjah_gr0wer, cool.. very curious how it will perform in this setup. By now the smallest but still experimenting with the water supply.

Raised front row plants by about 30cm so they match the rear row. This night they will be dark for 10 hours. Tomorrow it will be 12 hours. So this is probably the las update for this week.

As you have probably noticed my RH is on the high side.. Not too bad during vegetation but I believe they can transpire a lot more with a Leaf VPD around 1.00. So I have ordered a dehumidifier to control that. My aim RH is around 58%.. Let's see if that is possible with this device and see if my VPD will be around 1.00
