This week went well. Tent conditions have been steady. The plants were watered twice. The schedule was:
- Day 10 - 500 mL with 2 mL/gal Cal Mag, 10 mL/gal Big Bloom, and 2 mL/gal Grow Big @ 6.21 pH
- Day 12 - 1L with 3 mL/gal Cal Mag, and 3 mL/gal Grow Big @ 6.2 pH
Both times the water was @ 300 ppm. Watering and feeding more. The plants are looking pretty good. Maybe bigger than first grow was at this time. I will keep it up until I see signs of too much.
I staked them down when I took them out for pictures last night. They are already growing upwards again. Will keep it up as long as they are tolerating it well. Now wondering when I should start with defoliating instead of, or in addition to, leaf tucking. They seem to be growing faster now, so I may start snipping some leaves soon.
@@Fingers,
Thanks! It's good to hear the ppm is good. I dropped my meter into the water bucket a couple of waterings ago and it did not respond well. It isn't working now. So I couldn't measure the run off from the flush I gave them last night. I gave them a couple of gallons of 6.2 pH water and it brought the run off up to 5.8. I'll try to work it up a bit more if I can. Thanks for the heads up!
@@Fingers,
Howdy. Will be breaking in the veg tent with this grow. It is a 3'x3' with 4" exhaust fan and filter. Currently using an actual 265w (1200w) blurple, which will be the first upgrade. Have a couple of 6" clip-on fans blowing now, but have other fans to use when needed. They are growing in 3 gal equivalent air pots in Pro-Mix HP. Have Fox Farm nutrients which will be used more liberally this time around.
I'm just over a week in, and I'm pleasantly surprised with how stable the tent has been. I was concerned about big swings in RH or temps, but it has stayed in basically an ideal setting and there is room to lower the humidity along the way. With the about daily tweaking of the 5'x5' tent during my first grow, I'm relieved with how things have gone so far with this one. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for checking it out.
