I read up on the need to keep single strain diaries so I created a second journal and made each specific. I'm also having trouble entering temp data in my journals so I will provide that data below as well. ***** LUX MEASUREMENT DISCLAIMER ***** My lux readings come from my Dr. Meter LX1330B, an inexpensive lux/fc meter bought on Amazon. I'm still trying to understand exactly what these lux readings mean. Is the scale such that they can be compared to others measurements found online? How does my tent LEDs compare to the sun's output? According to readings on the meter, my lights output is currently at 280,000 lux at 150 watts (60% max watts) which makes me think the scaling requires further understanding. I tested the meter under our late winter midday sun and came up with a reading of about 130,000. The solar intensity this time a year peaks at about 510 watts/m^2. If 130,000 equates to 510 watts/m^2 and the max solar intensity that these ladies can absorb is 1,000 watts/m^2 (this was the consensus amount I observed which is based of the max solar intensity at the equator), than an equivalent reading on my meter would be 260,000. I plan on checking the suns output again near the summer solstice in June to see if this conversation is correct. Until I can understand this further, I am going to assume that the meter is off by a factor of 10 and reduce my tent readings accordingly. Please feel free to comment below if you see any errors in my reasoning. Day 8 - 10: Early growth continues at about the same pace of 1cm x 1cm a day for most plants. Turned up the power on the lights on day 8 to 25,000 lux at the leaves, Temp range 66 - 76F between day and evening, 70%RH, Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) ~ 10.0, watered with a couple cups each today Day 11: Fiddled with the lights a bit lowering them and turning power up a bit to reach 30,000 lux at the leaves. Temp and RH same as above. Day 12: Growth continues, looks healthy Day 13: I grew a little concerned today that there might be bleaching happening from my lights. The top leaves appeared to look a little too pale under the grow lights, but under normal room lighting and I didn't seem as bad. As a precaution I raised the lights back to 40cm above soil which lowered the lux readings to around 28,000 lux. Watered today with a couple cups each. Day 14: I discover GrowDiaries.com and realize the need to take pictures of this grow. Ladies continue are doing well and almost ready for a little LST. Day 15: I through this in here even through it's technically part of the third week as it was the first day that I had picture and I'd like to get a few into this weeks update. LST is done to all 4 ladies. Grow Summary: 4'x3'x6' 2 in 1 tent 250 watt full spectrum LED FFHF & FFOF soil w/FF Trio Dutch Passion autoflower genetics I'll see everyone next week!

I have some discoloration happening to OB5,more pics in week 6. Started first on few old fan leaves with yellow & brown/purple patches and now is occurring to the several of the colas and is spreading to more fan leaves. Water pH may have been in the 5-6 range last week. HlpPlz

The purple is natural. The yellow is from the plant sucking the nutrients out, which to is natural. Eventually some fan leaves will yellow and fall off. No worries

Ummm so that rack inside the tent system you set up is brilliant. I need to figure something like that out for my next grow. My biggest struggle in both my grows was where to store my stuff! :P Good luck, I'll be following this one for sure!

@GreenAlchemist, this has my head spinning with ideas haha. I think I found a set suitable for my grow space (my tent's a little smaller than yours) and I'm figuring out how to convince my better half to spend that much more money on my hobby. Lol. Not sure if your tent has a removable waterproof layer, but if it does you could easily put it on the shelf under your plants, so stuff below doesn't get wet or exposed to as much light. Sorry for the novel, but this setup is bomb and I keep coming back to it lol.

@Mousey, Thanks for the comment. It's a tight fit to get those shelving units in there, but it worked. The shelves are 16" x 36" on 34" x 1" posts that were found on Amazon and a restaurant supply website respectively. I too struggle with storage and need to find a few more solutions to get things properly organized.

It seems that you need to give it more water each day, or water more than once since your leaves are dropping at the end of the day. The purpling seems to be natural, not a deficiency.

The mini humidifier is a slick move to reach proper VPD during veg 🤙 Irie mon. Like da Jamaican mountainside
