Only thing of note is that we are in the middle of a heat wave, so daytime temperatures are much higher than I'd like. Thankfully, the plant seems to be doing fine.
I did a few changes this week:
- I changed the exhaust fan to be on the same schedule as the humidifier instead of being always on at night. This will help keep the humidity a bit higher during the night instead of having the exhaust blow out all the humid air while the humidifier is off. It will also allow me to avoid unnecessarily adjust the fan speed at night/day transitions. There still is passive air exchange so I'm not too worried about stale humid air.
- I'm gradually lowering the lights, currently at 30 inches above the plant. Will lower it further to reach the final distance for week #3 (~16-20 inches).
- I started feeding the plant at about mid-week. Noticed some darkening which indicates my formula might be a bit too strong. Diluted my mix further and will delay the progression to the 2nd week of the schedule.
Edit: I'm not sure what happened to General Hydroponics in this website, but that's what I'm using for nutrients (like last time). I will be finishing the non-core products that I got from the package deal. Once done with those, I'll be using the Flora trio + calmag only.
