ismelldayhikers Still chugging along. Lots of new growth at day 17 for the straw guava. And stupidly I planted the gummi bears about a week behind. I’m still top watering both and everything is looking healthy I think. I read somewhere to keep the mulch cover off until the plant reaches the sides of earthbox. I’m also getting a couple ecowitt sensors in the mail this weekend so I should have a better idea of what’s going on down below as far as moisture goes

ismelldayhikers Been a wild week. I filled the rez a few days ago now. I was a paranoid about them not drinking it so I soaked the corners to create wick and put the mulch covers on. I think I ended up over watering them a bit because the plants were very droopy. Since I removed the mulch covers things have started to bounce back. Still have not watered since filling the rez. I can see the soil is still moist so I’m going to back off. The plants have started to severely droop nightly. I’ve heard that’s common and they are in circadian rhythm but it’s been making me watch them like a hawk.

ismelldayhikers Today is day 30 for the straw guavas in the back and let’s say day 23 for the gummi bears up front. I learned a lot this week for sure. My VPD was all fucked up and I couldn’t get the tent humid enough. Mostly because of my Costco humidifier. I went to the hydro store and got the big ac infinity one and it’s been a dream since Saturday. Keeps VPD perfect and also links up with the rest of the gear. It’s like easy mode now. I also got the Ecowitt sensors going which I’m a bit confused by but learning more. Did some defoliation of fan leaves and topped another. I’m going to run an experiment side by side and see how it plays out. I’ve possibly stunted these I’m learning but going to let it ride.
