Week 4. Hopefully back on track with this diary, which stalled for a while because of a dwarf seed. I needed a few weeks to catch up. It seems if you donβt update, GD think the diary is abandoned and they put a little gravestone instead of a smiley face!! So hoping to resurrect this diary from the grave..... Jack got topped last week so the vertical growth has been slow, but the new growths have come through nicely. They were quite purple for a few days there, and after doing some reading it seems my soil may have been a tad βhotβ and with the worm castings too. I also fed seasol at full which seems to have been a bit much this early. Never the less, after going back to just water, the green has punched through again and Jack is on the move. Thanks for your patience on getting this one back on track. Hope it works,,,, 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
