HELP: I CAN'T GET IT TO SAVE THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE! IT'S 83 F DURING THE DAY AND 80 F AT NIGHT. BUT IT INSISTS ON SHOWING IT AT 50.

WEEK 9: WHAT HAPPENED TO WEEK 8?
Somehow, I forgot to start a new week and ended up running Week 7 for 14-days! So all the days are here, but somehow I missed starting Week 8. Too lazy to go back and redo it all. So, here we are in Week 9! Welcome.
DAY 60: MORE WATERING
* Since the top dressing just two days ago, I naturally haven't seen any significant differences yet.
* Watered with 1.5L tap water pH'd to ~ 6.5.
* If she needs watering again tomorrow, I will up the amount to 2 liters.
* While all the trichomes are still clear, I'm thinking I'll give her about 10 more days. By then I should be ready to move in my new plants. Even if she needs a bit longer, I can probably find room for three pots temporarily.
DAY 62: MORE WATERING
* Upped the amount of water by half-a-liter. Watered with 2L tap water pH'd to ~ 6.5. Yesterday I gave it a short 0.5 L.
* For the first time I watered using a watering can rather than my little squirt bottle. The result was more runoff than I had at any other time in the grow. You can see it in the pictures. It wasn't a matter of overwatering, simply added the water too quickly.
* The plant is yellowing quickly. I don't plan on doing anything about it, other than harvesting in about a week.
DAY 64: ONE LAST FEEDING ... FOR THE MICROBES
* One last molasses feeding for my little subterranean friends. Just 500 ml followed by 1.5L of tap water pH'd to 6.5.
* Coming down soon. You can see that she is ripening by the day. I'll give her another week.
* I hope to start two sisters sometime this weekend.
@BladeCutter, jesus! How did the dwc and aeroponics bud quality compare to soil? I see some people can get some massive yields doing the former but I'm chasing quality mainly.
@PrairieFrostGrow, I hope so too. Today I'm going to make some changes in how I use my space and I should be able to grow at least two plants at a time. Don't expect to start a second plant until later this month, but I'm getting it set up. I'm going to move and reorient my light a little bit. That should give me good coverage of an 18-inch by 18-inch square on the floor. With some luck, I can harvest every 30-45 days. 😁
You have a nice little plant. Every grow is a learning experience and it looks like this one has been very useful. I am sure she's going to yield you some nice quality buds 👍🔥
@amazongrow, I'm glad that my detailed diary is appreciated. I've kept personal diaries in the past, but this is the first time online. If there is any other information that you would find useful, please let me know. I'll be posting again in detail Saturday or Sunday. I will also comment on your diaries in that timeframe. Good Times. Good Grow. Um abraço (I hope I have that right.)
@BladeCutter, if you can manipulate your conditions, choosing the best vpd is a must, good for you! For us mortals (LOL) we get to measure once and settle with what we got... thankfully, it is ok around here. =)
Thanks again for the detailed diary.
Btw, I am on my third diary, if you care to visit... be my guest! =)
Tchau, do Brazil
@BladeCutter, some lofty goals but I wish you luck. Keep following great growers like mr Canucks and you'll be there in no Time. You got the right mindset. Just keep learning and keep trying and you'll get there
@Denzul, thanks. I was surprised that such a small plant could produce even 20g (dry estimate). I just started two more Double Grapes and hope to increase the yield significantly. When I hear Mr. Cannuck of Mr. Cannuck's Grow on YouTube say that his Auto target is 1g/watt it really gives me something to shoot for. That means I need to increase my production by at least 6 times! That's going to take some more gardens to get that kind of yield. I hope to start two more diaries in the next few days.
You're plants look like thier doing really well, I'm also doing a Mephisto genetics strain - Auto S.O.D.K . I've defoliated it and it's doing pretty well tbf. Its pre flowering/ pre flower stretching. Happy growing
