24.4 Grow

Prioritizing environment: Stayed focused on keeping humidity consistent and high this week (60-80%) - I ordered a new spider farm 6L humidifier to hook up to their GGS controller kit. Would like to keep closer eye on metrics and use remote functions to maintain stable environment. - More research on advantages of optimal VPD on the biological processes (transpiration, metabolism, stress management) - I would like to track VPD & optimize plant’s metabolism by maintaining ideal conditions for each stage of life. Top feed right in time: Top fed (2.5 tbsp BLOOM, 2.5 tbsp ALL PURP, 1 Cup worm castings, each 5g pot) mixed into top soil. -Watered with RECHARGE water (+4 tbsp blackstrap molasses), -Plants were due for top feed. Right at 4-week top feed deadline & were starting to take on a lighter shade of green towards the end of the week. -Plan to be more proactive for the next feed, maybe in 21-24 days instead of every 28/30 days. WPM issue resolved: -Suspected white powdery mildew was actually revealed to be eroding paint from the grills of my WHITE 6” oscillating fans. -Early in the week I cleaned them off, which wasn’t enough to solve the issue, so this week I just removed the grills and cleans the fan blades. Just don’t want that stuff on my plants and risk it getting in my flower. CHOP & DROP large fan leaves to encourage growth and clear light obstruction. Lollipopping this coming week will create good mulch. LST: Smaller plants for more exposure and growth stimulation to spread out.
