10/03/24 Short facts:
- started LST on day 13
- watered 2 x 1l -- 2l
- VPD @ 0.7 -- raised by 0.1
- Light @ 40% - ~460ppfd -- increased by 10%

Sorry for being late with the second week update, but I was really sick. I'm happy that I managed to keep up with taking care of the plants. (Week 3 is coming tomorrow.)
This week, I increased the VPD by 0.1 because it wasn’t necessary to maintain such high humidity anymore.
The Grease Monkey is surprising me—the development is really good!
Unfortunately, I’ve got problems with fungus gnats, which is probably no surprise because of the clover, which is growing very fast. Since I’ve been keeping the top layer of the soil moist every day for the clover, it allowed the fungus gnats to lay their eggs. To combat this, I used nematodes.
On Day 13, I decided it was time to start with LST. I used some soft garden wire to stretch the plant to the other side of the pot, exposing the side branches directly to the light.
You mentioned your pictures- I think they look just fine. Nothing wrong with them to me. Also, the monkey looks great as well. It will be interesting for me to watch and see the differences between auto and photo.
I’ve still yet to ever try an auto. I guess I just go with photo since it’s all I’m used to. I should probably change that one day.
Anyway, great work you’re doing, sending good vibes your way 🍀
@Krisis, Thank you! Yeah, i think they are quite bright.
Yes, this is how i found your report! I'm also curious about that. How much they actually differ.
You should try it some time.
Thank you very much! Sending good vibes back to you!
@popcornsutton, Hi, @50% it is over 600ppfd in the center and a little bit over 500ppfd in the middle of the outer plants, but on the edge it is just around 400ppfd. The light is at a distance of 35cm.
Best regards
