Starting off week 3 of veg wonderfully. All the ladies took to the transplant well and are praying towards the light. Both of the Zamnesia plants are bigger than the LIT plants and seem to handle the nutrients better.
Day 16 - Still looking great. Seeing that darker green coming in a bit more, which is good. Going to do one more feed of the 750 PPM/6.0pH probably tomorrow, then I should be bumping it back up to 800 going into week 4. I'm going to have to play it off of how they react, but my current suspicion is that everything will be slightly more hungry than the Black Orchid.
Day 17 - Swapped from the SF1000 100W light to the G5000 480W light to get the maximum light wall-to-wall in this 3x3. Currently set at 20% at ~20" from the canopy. All plants are getting around 255-270 PPFD at the moment to see how they play with the new setup. I also moved my oscillating fan up and turned it back on at its lowest setting. No feed today, coco is still wet and weighing good.
Day 18 - Noticed what looked like a slight bit of algae forming on the top layer of coco, so I rubbed it around to break it up before feeding. Fed each a liter at 743 PPM/6.0pH again, and I will check again before lights off to see if any of them still look hungry. The tearing on Biscotti's leaf I believe is related to the issues I had with how intense and close I was running the SF1000 on the plants. I'm also assuming that the markings are a very interesting form of variegation, as it appears to be on the new growth as well. Both Apple Banana Zoap have a lighter color (ABZ #2 with the lightest). Otherwise, all else looks well.
Day 19 - Much happier with the color on all of them. ABZ #2 is still a little brighter than I'd like. Sprayed the top of the coco with some filtered tap water with added h202 to kill off the algae growth and attempt to prevent further growth.
Day 20 - Raised the light a bit to ~22" from the canopy and adjusted the intensity slightly.
Day 21 - I prepared a gallon of feed, but I will wait until tomorrow to give it to the plants. The pots all have good weight and the coco is still moist below the surface.
