Banana Purple Punch Auto

Nugget_head88 Watered with Rhizotonic and calmag, I'm using calmag as my water is 60-80ppm out of the tap and there is very little calcium & magnesium present, on the next watering I will start with following the canna feed chart with it set to light feeding. I'll be aiming to feed once a week but will see how she responds. I'm using VPD and DLI as a guide for my conditions so currently lights are on for 20 hours as they will be for the duration and I currently have them about 25cm away on the 25% setting, putting out around 160 PPFD, so DLI is at 11ish and VPD is sat around 0.5kpa on average, this will increase incrementally throughout the grow. Update - missed day 6 photo...oops but I have moved the humidifier into the tent as a bit of an experiment as I wasn't happy with how erratic the conditions were day to day, even with the humidifier on a set humidity, the conditions varied wildly. Update - day 7 I raised the lights to around 55cm away and increased the strength to 50 percent, for 2 reasons, one to increase PPFD to around 220 and also to generate a bit more heat as the temps started to drop lower than i wanted, I should really get a controller so I can raise it in 1% increments but that's one for another time. I decided to just water with calmag and Rhizotonic again as she seems happy. Week 1 complete, All going well so far.

Nugget_head88 26/05/2025, Start of week 2, looking nice and healthy. 29/05/2025 fed today. 01/06/2025, end of week 2, no issues everything seems to be going well.

Nugget_head88 02/06/2025, start of week 3, decided to do a bit of LST (tied down main stem) let's see how she responds. Reduced humidity by around 8% to increase leaf VPD to between 0.7 and 1.0 kpa, and lowered the light a little more, increasing to around 300 PPFD for this week. Hoping to see a bit of a rush of growth once she recovers from the LST as I expect flowering will start in the next 2 weeks and need her to fill out a.s.a.p Update 04/06/2025, Looks like I should have probably waited for the next node to stretch a little and then tied her down as I could have brought the top full level with the the other shoots and perhaps encourage better branching as this particular girl doesn't seem to be very branchy, this may change though, will probably have to bend her again but time it better so I can actually tie round the very top instead of one node down and hopefully then encourage some real branching and filling out. Another lesson learned for this rookie. Update: 06/06/2025, fed at 1.2 ec ph 6.2. Update 08/08/2025, end of week, should have waited at least a couple more days to water, she looks over watered, not terrible though and looking better this morning than yesterday morning, will make sure she is properly dry next time.

Nugget_head88 09/06/2025, start of week 4, a bit annoyed with myself for overwatering as it's set me back by a few days at least but she's not looking too bad and can hopefully achieve a good stretch now she's showing some preflowers. 12/06/2025, watered with 1ml/l calmag only (0.4 EC) and PH'd down to 6.2, backed the light off a little as the leaves were cupping quite a bit. 14/06/2025, looking much happier, starting to stretch. 15/06/2025, end of week 4, looked much happier the last few days and stretch is definitely starting, I have tucked her today and might do again in a couple of days but beyond that I'll just let her go.
