11-5-2024 - This morning on Election Day, all three plants received their first dose of Recharge and 750ml's of water PH'd to 6.5. I've got the lights at 70% and approximately 30 inches away from the plant tops. Photone is giving me around a 570 PPFD. RH in the tent is at 60% and my temps are around 78F. I feel as though the conditions in the tent are ideal right now. CO2 levels hover between 800-1200PPM but I expect that number to be more steady in a couple weeks after the Exhale bag gets going. I'd like to see the CO2 at 1200-1400 all the time so I can ramp up lighting. Not detecting any pests or problems with any of the plants. I'm sticking to my water and PAR schedules and am going to let the Grow Dots do their job. Next couple of weeks will mostly be pictures as these plants fill out a bit. Hopefully they will not go into flower until at least week 4...but hoping I can keep them vegging through week 4 and maybe into week 5. Wish me luck!
11-7-2024 - Watered each plant with 750ml's dechlorinated tap water PH'd to 6.5. Temps have been rising in the tent and its getting difficult to keep below 80F. I have added a dehumidifier outside of the tent to try and control this a bit. Leaves have started to recover as well and are getting greener. I suspect the roots have not gotten into the Grow Dots part of the soil and are up-taking some nutrients.
11-9-2024 - Was going to water this morning but the soil is still moist below the surface. I backed the lights down to 60% as I was getting PPFD readings over 650 at the tops of the plants. I raised the lights slightly and turned them down. This gives me 550'ish readings which I think is fine for now. Until I see more CO2 consistently I'm going to be careful with over-lighting these young plants. Otherwise everything looks great! The Frosted Cherry O's are a little behind due to being planted about a day after the first two. I will feed tomorrow morning which will be the last feeding before week 2 of veg starts. I feel very confident this time around that at the very least I've got a good feel for watering these guys. Looking forward to doing a little LST/leaf tucking as they start to stretch out.
11-10-2024 - Watered each plant with 1000ml's dechlorinated tap water PH'd to 6.5. Conditions in the tent continue to stabilize. I think I have the moisture and temp problems under control for now. At the start of Week 2 of Veg I'll be watering 1000ml's and will also be giving the second dose of Recharge. So far, having a true schedule to my nutrient feedings and watering have been confidence inspiring. No matter the outcome, this grow is going a million times better than the last time.
@Orangecola1, thank you! I'm really looking forward to harvesting and trying that strain. Honestly, the way my "Mystery Seed" is growing I'd really like to be able to identify it but we'll see. 😀
@Orangecola1, thank you, I'm really looking forward to harvesting these guys. They are doing so well compared to my last run. Good luck with your run as well!
