***UPDATE 07/29/24***
Hot one today! Temps reached a max of 32C in the tent! Had some work I needed to do outside & the back door has been open for most of the day, things should be back to normal again tomorrow!
95% sure I've been giving the plants way too much calmag & I'm gonna eliminate the solution from my feed entirely over the next week or so & see if that helps...
The abundance of calmag has been effecting all 4 plants differently.. Purple Star Killer is clawing + discoloring, Dosidos #1 is burning + discouloring & all 4 plants are growing smaller leaves than usual at a much slower pace compared to weeks 3 & 4...
Only used distilled tap water & 1ml/L calmag PH 6.2 throughout week 5, they haven't had a full feed in 9 days & are due for a proper feed!
Tomorrow afternoon I will be using the nutrient mixture listed above at a PH of 6.0
***UPDATE 07/30/24***
Gave the Purple Star Killer 3L of Distilled tap water + nutrient mixture listed above PH of 6.0, the other 3 plants got 2L each.
***UPDATE 07/31/24***
Another hot one today!
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed but pots are drying out much quicker so far during week 6! I could probably bump the Purple Star Killer up to 4L & the Dosidos #2 to 3L
Do not buy a Vivosun dehumidifier for a 4x4 tent... The thing is basically useless! RH was in the high 70s as per usual during lights off last night & the dehumidifier only collected a few drops of water throughout the entire night... I placed it on top of my humidifier intake facing in towards the tent & RH did not budge.. It gives off a decent amount of heat, only practical use I could think of is to use it as a small space heater during the winter if need be!
Was gonna defoliate today but figured I would leave it for another day since 4th nodes are just coming in & will be time to top again soon!
Grabbed some Ethos Genetics from BrotanicalGardens today & will have those for round 2 in a couple months! Went with the CrescendO multipack & Colin OG Rbx !
***UPDATE 08/01/24***
Left everything alone in the tent today, should be able to top again in the next 2-3 days !
The Purple Star Killer has been ready to go, think I will switch to 12/12 soon just gotta figure out a way to drop RH during lights off before doing so...
Dosidos #1 is looking much better, no more calmag for a little while!
***UPDATE 08/02/24***
Was a bit late watering today the Purple Star Killer got 3L of distilled tap water PH of 6.1 & the other 3 plants got 2L each
Grabbed a new dehumidifier & I'm gonna return the vivosun I originally bought, thing is a PoS! This new one has auto on/off mode & I can set it anywhere between 35% & 80% RH, 34 pint capacity & says its good up to 2,000 sq ft.
Have to let it sit upright for 24hrs before I can put it in the tent but should have that up & running for lights out tomorrow!
***UPDATE 08/03/24***
Problematic day! Plants did not respond well to the plain water at a PH of 6.1 from yesterday & have stayed drooped, they usually do this for a few hours after I use the garden sprayer but has been roughly 24hrs since I watered... Hopefully everything is back on track tomorrow afternoon!
Dehumidifier is now in the tent after sitting upright for 24hrs, taped off all the LED's & can cover the top screen with the base of my blink camera which is nice!
Gonna let it run overnight & will post temp/RH few hours after the lights go out!
***UPDATE 08/04/23***
Plants are still looking pretty rough today... Pots are light with Dosidos #1 & Cement Shoes but pots are heavy with the Purple Star Killer & Dosidos #2
Haven't been looking after them like I should the past couple of weeks...
Am gonna rearrange the tent tomorrow morning, install carbon filter sheets so I can keep the vents along the bottom open & see what else I can do to keep the temps down throughout the day during lights on
New dehumidifier works great but I think mine came with a faulty humidity sensor, screen is stuck on 25 RH... Manual says to set it to 30% & let it run for a period of time could be water on the surface of the sensor
RH is usually high 70s low 80s at night during lights off, I set it to 60 & it would run every 30 min to bring the RH down to 54% then it shuts off for 15 min & start back up for 30 min was doing this throughout the entire night & it collected roughly 2L of water in 6 hours!
Gonna run it outside the tent at 30% RH tonight & see if that fixes the sensor, worst case scenario I will exchange this one for one that works as it seems to work well while its on!
Plant wise have a few different things going on right now, excess calmag caused a potassium lockout with the Dosidos #1 it seems to be slowly recovering, as for the other 3 calmag didnt hit them as hard I think issues may be related to heat stress & a lack of nutrients currently, also need to rearrange everything in the tent again for proper air flow
Am gonna veg longer than I originally planned due to plant size & environmental conditions, still need to dial in temp/RH & I want close to a full canopy of healthy green before I switch to 12/12
