Seems an update happened when week is over rather than middle of it lol. This is the last vegetative week, today (start of the new week) I switch to 12/12 cycle and begin flowering stage !
This week was very quiet, plant was growing slowly and I did more and more leaves removal while adjust the LST ties. I have been removing the leaves that obscure the middle of the plant and to make more room for light reaching new split points where new stems can grow out of.
Watering quantity has increased to some 0.75 liters, poured on over the span of the day. Blueberry mix is still doing wonders, the plant is very healty and removal of the leaves I'm doing has no sort of effect on its growth lol.
Every time I open the door of the grow chamber I am greeted with fairly strong smell, and I know it'll only get bigger lol. Air filtering setup I made seems to work pretty well, there's nothing to smell when the chamber is closed. Temperatures seem to stay pretty stable too, getting near +28 when lights are on, and dropping to +22 when off. Plant seems to grow better when the temp is on the higher side, at least compared to +26 that I had previously.
Part of me wants to continue the veg state but this time earlier harvest will win even though I can probably get more out this plant otherwise, there's still 3 more seeds left lol.
@BagseedBurglar, I got the sensor from a friend of mine, no cost is best cost haha. It certainly is unreliable, I can see some exposed silicon in there and that explains the light sensitivity I observe.
I'll keep the BME280 in mind, it certainly looks much more nicer I'll appreciate the SPI over the weird one wire thing of DHT11.
@MindMeower, I see. DHT sensors are a little bit unreliable IMO. You shouldn't have to place the sensor in a weird spot to get accurate readings! The sensor should ideally be placed flush with the canopy or a couple of inches higher, and be exposed to the ambient air (and not to the microclimate between the soil and the leaves)... I would recommend a BHE280, it is vastly superior to DHT11/22. Cheers and have fun!
@BagseedBurglar, The sensor gives false readings when it is put in the light (temperature goes waaay off and with it the RH reading also). Under a leaf seems to work fine, temperature is ok and RH is not significantly different from elsewhere (if light is blocked) except when I just watered the plant. The sensor hooks up to my server (via LPT port) which controls light cycle and other aspects. I could have used something like an Arduino but the server is 24/7 on anyway and one extra task for it is no problem plus I can do easy logging and if I really wanted, remote access too.
Lady looking great. Happy and healthy for sure. Great work. Keep doing what you've been doing and may the ganja garden gods bless you along the rest if your journey growmie.
Hey, you had a look at my Killer Kush grow diary and I came to have a look at how you were doing, seems like your doing great. If I have one tip for you it would be to check your soil's pH, that being said the nutrients you've added seemed to have helped. All in all you're doing great you'll see this baby really kick off just about now 😉👊 Good luck buddy.
@GrowSweetWeed, ohey ! Things are going pretty good indeed, plant grows along and so far there are no problems, that blueberry mix has done wonders and the plant is really liking it ~ I do plan to get one of the pH meters, if anything to see if things haven't got too acidic since that mix does lower pH. I will do week 5 in couple days, more tho show than if I start a week right away since edits don't actually create any notification etc.
Good luck with your new grows ~
