YuppyGrows Took a flyer on WW seeds from ILGM that are on sale. Hoping these can be managed all under this DIY Cob light. Looking to add another power driver to increase photons available when they reach flower stage. Really want to keep these healthy throughout and score quality at the end.

YuppyGrows I've been learning a bit about VPD and grew concerned about the low humidity and high heat in the plant's environment. I picked up an evaporative humidifier to aid with RH% during the hot days inside. These girls weren't watered for a while, so I went light with the nutrients and will be curious to see how they drink it up. The limpy stems already seem to be getting hearty!

YuppyGrows The initial growth after feeding seemed promising this past week. Main stalks got a bit thicker and bud sites were chasing light after their initial training. I went back and gave them a "medium" stress training since the tops were so malleable. Slowly ramping up the feeding as long as they seem to be taking it well. The only Ph testing happens to the bottle nutrients going in as I don't have a TDS/Soil meter of any kind. I'll be monitoring the slightly yellow tips on the tops. Not sure if the yellowing is a nutrient or lighting issue. I deliberately brought the Ph up a bit from the low 6's last week.

YuppyGrows My how things quickly can change! As the pots dried out this week there was some obvious discoloration happening on the lower leaves. I've attached some photos to try to determine what it could be. Given my watering never went beyond 7 ph, I'm thinking it's a nutrient issue. I put in a sliver more CalMag and fewer veg nutes this week as these autos will probably flip over to flower mode given the timing and stress.

You can add plant light reflectors and tape to wall to add a little more light on sides.

@Electroculture, Thanks for the tip. I got some "panda film" to be added in the coming weeks when they'll really need to share the light.
