1 - 03/27 - Starting up week #2. New light is installed, will be monitoring the set up now since the new light is 800w. Tent temperature peaked yesterday at 85. Added a big fan in the tent and an additional fan for circulation outside of the tent as well. Going to need my air scrubber sooner than later to help keep my temps in check. Likely need a cool mist humidifier as well now. Woohoo. At least they are all still standing!
2 - 03/27 - The new LED at 800 watts is far too much. The tent was heating up uncontrollably past 86, so I decided to take it back and grab the single 400 for the time being. That way at a later date I can upgrade to a secondary 400 and still pull equal wattage. Also added a 6in inline fan to help keep the tent cooler. Sitting around 76 -80 now so I'm pretty happy with it. The 400 run quite a bit cooler than the 800 does. The 800 brought my tent up another 10 degrees whereas the 400 unit sits my tent up at 3 degrees. All in all, feeling good about the swap and new lights. Time will tell if I need anything additional come first week of flower
03 - 03/31 - Almost nearing the end of week 2. The girls are doing amazing. Candy Cane is finally catching up and everybody is filling out now. Super cool to see what a week does! π±
Each of the ladies received some very light LST last night. Light pull on the leaves downwards to pull the top open and create some more developmental growth. I also decided to run a really light liquid nutrient cycle. I'll post the product and details tonight. Happy growing! π±
Seems to me a bit heavy on nutrients so early perhaps? Overwatering could be slowing down growth as light clearly isn't an issue... I thought the same with mine so I moved the light a little further away. I'm still only very mildy using nutes at the mo.
@Fruitgrower, I did a half half. 4-4-4 & 2-8-4 top dress for the top of week 2 in flower. I'll likely amend again after 30 days as per Gaia Green Organics recommendation.
@JBOrganix, OK I thought so (still learning myself) that's why I decided to go biomix nutes and as organic and as little as I think it needs. I alternate between water and nute water. But I did add organic compost, bone and fish meal to my soil mix which also had plenty of coco and Perlite in to begin with. Are you using bloom nutes already on week 2?
@Fruitgrower, I did add some liquids and ran into a nitro or potassium toxicity in around mid week 3. They've been on a strict pH water diet for the last 2-3. Last night I topped dressed as per Gaia Greens recommendations.
