Everything is going quite well. 🙂
The outer plants are already in the stretching phase. The middle ones have caught up nicely, but the canopy isn't completely clean yet.
I apparently had a somewhat high nitrogen content in my nutrient water. I suspect that the nitrogen level has increased due to continuous accumulation in my tank.
I also had initial problems with the pH level of my irrigation system. Organic pH regulators are completely unsuitable for my system. For temporary balance, I now use Plagron pH-, and for long-term application during prolonged absences, I use Athena Balance. It is important to never mix both together!!!!!!! I'm not a chemist, but I almost reached a corrosive pH value of 2.4 with it. (At the lowest dosing recommendation) I suspect an interaction with the phosphoric acid.
Otherwise, I continue to fertilize according to the schedule, just reducing the Bio Grow a bit.
The temperature has been steady this week, but with the ongoing increase in dehumidification and lighting, the temperature is gradually rising in phases.
As for the CO2 content, it's completely new territory for me. I built a great CO2 gassing system with a controller, but I haven't really needed to use it yet. The organic life in the substantial amount of substrate in my tent releases more carbon dioxide than is necessary for perfect photosynthesis. At least that's the status for the first 5 weeks. I will keep an eye on it. It's definitely a very interesting topic.
@ibbzy, It is completely self-built and consists of two tanks, each with an irrigation computer and a water pump. These are connected to 32 nozzles in the tent on one side, and on the other side, I can circulate the water through small sinks for adjustment. Additionally, there is a soil moisture sensor that provides data to the irrigation computers.
