23 Dec 24 - Week 2 Day 1 Veg
Topped up the soil in the cups to stabilize the plants and pulled out the small wires that were trying to hold them upright. (Ignore names on cups, reused old cups and didn't bother to label since all same strain)
Finally had time to clear and clean tent, mount exhaust fan and filter, found humidifier and properly assembled the equipment to be able to grow. Have one more large fan I want to mount (big black one to the right of door) but will get that done tomorrow..
24 Dec 24 - Week 2 Day 2 Veg
Cups were nearly dried out, gave a full feed to runoff. Next watering will be ph'd water with calmag.
Merry Christmas 2024 - Week 2 Day 3 Veg
Cups were nearly dried out, not sure if plants are drinking that much daily, or if the heat in the tent is causing soil to dry out. To be safe instead of another feeding I hit them with some ph'd calmag water till runoff.
Plants look happy, will see how they respond to a watering without nutrients and adjust as necessary.
26 Dec 24 - Week 2 Day 4 Veg
Cups still had some moisture, will hit them with a full strength feed tomorrow.
Checked light intensity, according to estimates/conversion rates by migro using my lux meter I'm sitting around 450-500par.
(34970lux) (0.014) = 489.5
(32330lux) (0.014) = 452.6
May back light off a bit tomorrow when I feed.
27 Dec 24 - Week 2 Day 5 Veg
Checked light again, par ranges from 400-500 at canopy leaving it set there
Cups are drying out daily. Getting a full strength feed today, going to see if I can find some more 1 gallon pots here, I found 8, I think I have some more kicking around, otherwise a quick stop by a nursery tomorrow will get that sorted.
Checked water from the tap again today, strive is a bit of a pain in the ass to dissolve so warm water helps out. Tap water ph and ppm is in a pic somewhere above.
1 gallon water 8.2ph 205ppm (.4ec)
1ml ph down
7/8 tsp Part A
1/2 tsp Part B
Ended up at 6.6ph 1260ppm (2.5ec)
Runoff came out around 6.4 ph next feed will be lighter and higher ph will aim for 6.9 and 2.0ec
29 Dec 24 - Week 2 Day 6 Veg
Well, plants look good and ready to transplant. Ordered some 1 gallon panda style bags off Amazon, going to give em a go and see how they do.
Watered the plants with a mix of:
2ml/l calmag
2ml/l prop o gator
And 5ml/gal Cronk monkey
Plants getting around 360 par (26000 lux) at their new height. Will leave it there for a few days to allow recovery from transplanting then drop the light and start pounding them with light and nutrients.
29 Dec 24 - Week 2 Day 7 Veg
Plants appear to have take the transplant well, will be lowering the height of the light tomorrow to start week 3 veg. Time to start pounding them with nutes and light until they show sex.
