Week 1 has started
It is midsummer here, the temperatures outside are above 30°C during the day.
This is why it is difficult to keep the temperature below 28° both in the apartment and in the grow box.
Fortunately, the stated 30°C in the dairy are currently only temperature peaks.
I decided to set the dark phase during the day, when it is warmest outside and in the apartment, so as not to add additional waste heat from the lamp.
I am currently at about 26% exhaust air output, which means I am exchanging exactly 3 times the volume of air in the grow box per minute.
I will increase the output to 40% to better regulate the temperature.
UPDATE (Day 2):
Increasing the exhaust air output has not changed the temperatures much. Back to 26%.
It's just too warm in the apartment. So questioning myself where is the cooler air for the grow box going to come from? 😝
Set the circulating fan to level 2 to avoid hot spots inside the box.
Now the good old trick is used by opening the windows in the evening to let the cool air from outside into the apartment. This does not require any more expensive technology 😉
So both the climate in the grow box and I benefit from it 😎
UPDATE (Day 3):
The first two seedlings are developing very well, but the third one worries me a little.
The third seedling has not yet developed a pair of leaves on day two. You can only see the tips sticking out from the middle. I'll give him time.
No issues with the temperature at the moment, but the humidifiers have to work harder than before.
UPDATE (Day 4):
In the third seedling, the first pair of leaves has developed slightly further.
UPDATE (Day 5):
The leaves are starting to get some light spots. At the moment I have no idea what it could be, because all in all, apart from seedling number 3, everything is unremarkable.
Perhaps it is the genetics of the strain that behaves this way.
UPDATE (Day 6):
Today summer is back again and I'm once again struggling with a good 29°C in the grow box.
As soon as it cools down in the evening, I let the cold air back into the grow box room and thus lower the temperatures.
Tomorrow the first 7 days will be finished and I will complete this diary week.
UPDATE (Day 7):
The first week of growing is over.
I'm currently moderately satisfied.
Plant no. 3 continues to be severely lagging in growth and the next few weird leaves are developing.
I think this plant is going to be a deformity, butI'll give her another week, a maximum of two weeks.
