Week 3. Jack 2.0 will here on be known as,,,,, Jack. Shredding any reference to the original effort which I have shown on here for the final time before erasing him from history!! 3 weeks on and he is loving the new home and is starting to show daily changes now. I had placed some compressed worm compost in the middle of my pot and it feels like the tap roots have just made their way to this area and are enjoying the readily available food source. This year I made my own soil mix using parts of premium mix, organic mix sifted out, and home grown worm castings. I am regretting adding so much organic bag soil now, as it still seems to have too many chunks even though I sifted it, and it also has a bit of a crust on top which I hate. So today I have loosened the top soil and top dressed with a peat rich soil and a few cups of worm castings. I just found this podcast called grow from the heart and have been zeroing in on organic options. Learned so much about the benefits of worm castings and composting. To the point I am attempting my first tea brew using worm castings, molasses and coconut oil. I even bought a pump aerator. So I am really psyched about pursuing this tactic and hopefully I will learn to refine my techniques and improve my grows organically. Thanks for visiting! π»
@Shooey, Same here mate, few 30 plussers with glorious sunshine in a row and things just shift in another gear π²
This weeks updates are gonna be fun πβοΈ
I think you leave cup at certain hours and unfurl at other. And I don't think that it is too serious. Could be from varying humidity during the day. A way to check is to plug in numbers for VPD.
In case you don't have it, this is the formula to indicate how fast water would evaporate :
VPD = 610.78 x e^(T / (T +238.3)) x 17.2694 x (1 β RH/100)/1000
The folk lore says for vegging VPD should be 0.8β1.1 (kPa)
And for flowering VPD should be 1.0β1.5
Lower VPD means its wet. Water less. If anything, get a fan or spay anti-mold.
Higher VPD means its parch. Better water more often.
I put this in an excel file. Realistically I can't do much to effect outdoor rain. Best thing to do for me is to grow in season like normal people would.
@Med_in_Tropic, geez med, Iβm flat out putting my pants on the right way, let alone work out that formula!! Iβm gonna need a few smokes beforehand for sure ππ
I donβt think itβs humidity as itβs been really mild so far this year, but you might be right about watering. Not sure if I am getting it spot on with jack. Still, itβs another cool looking thing that I havenβt seen before. smells great thoughππ
@Grey_Wolf,hi mate. I can but i wasnt planning on it. I planted early sept last year and they flowered out. I figure at 5 weeks we will just be over 12 hours light here and they should finish out. Your thoughts mate? Do i risk them going back into veg or hermie if i dont cover them up?? Cheers bro
