- The plant looks very healthy and eager as far as I can tell!
- Switched to 1/2 nutrient solution in the middle of the 2nd week.
- Solution pH confirmed at 6.5 👌🏽
- Increased PPFD to 550 µmol/m²/s in the middle of the 2nd week, gradually upping by +50 µmol/m²/s per day, closely monitoring plant response. Aiming at 650-700 for now.
- Extended light cycle from 18/6 to 20/4 in the beginning of the week, following plant's good response to light and current nutrient solution.
- Breeze fan adjusted not to overstress the gentle young trunk with huge leaves (relative to trunk thickness).
- Have not started Kinbaku yet, continuing to flex and strengthen the main trunk using the breeze fan.
Will be trying to find comfortable upper limits for PPFD and nutrients.
💦💦💦 Tap water pH came back at 8.0, Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect 3-part 1/2 solution (Micro + Grow + Bloom) based on the same water came back at 6.5, fully justifying the name of the product!
Tested with HMD PH-80.
@IstrGrow, Thank you brother!
Spontaneously started my first proper sensor-controlled box grow (was planning to plant outdoors originally) under relentless guidance of ChatGPT 4 😁 Catching up on literature and best practices as I go along.
