Plant #3: Planet of the Grapes

billybadass QUICK GROW STATS/NOTES THROUGHOUT EACH WEEK: ————————————————————————— 5/15: Seed germinated on 5/13 via Cannakan. Planted in Earthbox with BAS 3.0 soil. Sprouted 5/15. ———— 5/18: She's grown. A little stretch, I'd say. I lowered the light closer and checked PPFD using Photone. Right now, she is on a 20-on/4-off light schedule (will change soon). With the Evoframe on 3 or 30%, her light condition is as follows: Light Distance: 2 FT above the seedling PPFD: 252 DLI: 17.8 Pretty soon, as she develops her first set of seedling leaves (a one-finger pair), I'll take out the infrared thermometer to set the VPD offset. ———— 5/19: She's getting bigger! Not much to see here. Check photos! ————————————————————————————— CONTEXT ABOUT THE GROW, SETUP, & ANY OTHER INFO I WANT TO SHARE: I have a 2x4 for veg and a 4x4 for flowering. I plan to scrog train her in the 4x4, hopefully around 1-2ft above the top of the Earthbox. I am also using the new Spectrum AI Camera from AC Infinity! See short clips and photos above. The AI is pretty sweet. It lets you know when it sees stress, if the tent was left open, and more. It also provides daily growth estimates based on historical data. I also use the AC Infinity to get leaf temperature to properly set the VPD offset. At this stage, she's a bit too small to worry about that. I focus on keeping temps around 80F during the day and 72F at night. Also, I keep the humidity around 70-80%. ————————————————————————————— SOIL PREP, TREATMENT, AND PLAN: I use Build A Soil 3.0. For a seedling, this needs NOTHING to begin with. I used Quillaja during prep for the 10-gallon soil bed in the Earthbox. Quillaja is a Saponin wetting agent. I also used WDG3000. This is used to kill fungus gnats or their larvae, if any exist. The microbiology in 3.0 soil can carry this seedling weeks into veg without any feeding. I pre-soaked the soil with 1/2 gallon (5% of the soil's volume) of RO water. No PH. Around 2 weeks into veg, I'll start organically feeding her based on the BAS Supplemental Feeding chart. Top dressing and watering (top, not reservoir) will happen once a week from then on. Shortly after, I'll add 1/2 gal of water to the reservoir and measure how long she takes to drink it. Over time (a few weeks after veg, week 2), I'll ramp her up to 2 gal of water in the reservoir, refilling only when she goes dry. Any additional details are covered in the attached images of the feeding and environmental protocol!
