kookoo Substrate Recipe for 5 gallon pot: 2.25 gal Pro-Mix w/Mycorrizae .50 gal Perlite 1.5 gal Happy Frog .75 gal Worm Castings 7 tbsp Gaja Green 4-4-4 3 tbsp Gaja Green Power Bloom 4 TBSP Mycorrizae Allowed soil to cook for 50 days prior to planting germinated seed. (usually only cook for 30 days) ... shit happens ... Day 22 started with a DLI of 31 and increased daily to a DLI of 37 on day 28. PPFD - 100 / 200 Weekly average VPD - 1.05 Topdressed day 24 with 50/50 Power Bloom and 4-4-4. I think im seeing a slight nutrient defiency. Added a nutrient tea on day 24 ( could have done it a little sooner i think). Tea was 1.5tsp of Gaja green 4-4-4 + 1.5tsp Gaja Green Power Bloom + 1/2 cup worm castings + 1/2tbsp Molasses for 1/2 gallon PH'd to 6.5.

kookoo Started new light at the beginning of the week. I have been using the Photone light meter app to adjust light PPFD and DLI. However, i dont think i have it calibrated correctly, or maybe it just doesnt work that well, i dunno. In any case it appeared to me that i was giving the plant too much light. I have ignored the Photone App and switched to hanging and powering the light by the manufacturer's recomendation for the various stages of growth. I could see a noticeable difference in plant health after just a couple of days of less light. I am now running at 12 inches at 50% power. The plant seems to like that at the moment.

kookoo DLI for the week was 43 Average VPD was 1.4 Switched to the Spider Farmer GGS AC10 Controller Will Topdress today with 3.75 tbsp Gaja Green Power Bloom and 1.25 tbsp Gaja Green 4-4-4

kookoo DLI @ 43 PPFD @ 620 Looks a little yellow. Topdressed 50/50 Gaja Green 45-4-4 and Gaja Green Power Bloom ( 5 Tbsp total) about a week ago, might dump in a cup or so of worm castings next time i water.

kookoo all good ... DLI is 43 PPFD is at 620 VPD is at 1.4

kookoo VPD - 1.4 PPFD - 620 DLI - 43 I thought i may be having a nutrient deficiency, however, upon checking runoff i discovered that my PH was low At previous watering the PH was at 5.7PH. Watered in last time with 7.3PH to bring up PH. (runoff this time was 6.4)

kookoo VPD - 1.32 PPFD - 640 DLI - 44

kookoo DAY 77 TEMP - 76.3 HUMIDITY - 52% VPD - 1.47 DLI - 44 SUBSTRATE TEMP - 75° SOIL WATER CONTENT - 3.5% ( AT TIME OF WATERING ) (20.1 AFTER WATERING) SOIL EC - .2 ( AFTER WATERING) CO2 - 1165 PPFD - 652

kookoo All in all it was a good grow. I am pleased with the results of organic farming. I'm certain i will tweak my process as time goes on, but i have no intention of returning to bottle nutrients any time soon.
