Howdy Folks! Violator is actually 21 days old today, I'm just very behind and catching up on this update...she's not dead, don't worry😄. This update will cover Day 9-15. The Deets:
The Good:
-Greeeat bounce back with violator. She looks decent in the photos but on day 21 here, she is in full gear and is impressing the poop out of me. My initial over-watering stunted her, but we are more then back on track w/ her exponential growth kicking into high gear.
-Transplant came up Aces. I had a hard time popping her out of her solo, and I was pretty worried that my meddling would put her into shock or at the very least, stress. Nope! Nothing...didn't even dip out. Very, very pleased that I didn't piss her off cause she was already behind a tad and I didn't want to stunt her further then I already had.
-First feeding with Future Harvest went wonderfully. No issues what's so ever. No burns, droop or negative symptoms occurring. Very happy with this line so far as I move into their more advanced schedule.
-Her and the other girls seem to have acclimated now to the intense light and I've found the sweet spot, seemingly for all four girls.
The Bad: Notta👍
The 'Meh':
-Still having humidity issues and the tent isn't exactly running in optimal fashion... But! just jumped into Inkbirds WiFi Gateway and devices to automate my tent parameters. Only just figured it all out and connected everything. Should be in full operation by tomorrow when I do another set up of updates. So far, so good. They work very well, are very accurate and the APP/interface is very easy to use and set. My limits and lows are in place and it didn't take very long...and this is coming from a computer illiterate, so if I could do er, you can too!😲😄
Notes of the Week:
-Initial feedings went well and we will be moving to a higher ec feed next week. No negative symptoms have occurred thus far and I'm quite pleased with FH's performance so far. Everything is functioning and I can see it working. Still have yet to feed a full recommended schedule, but we'll get there in time. **SPECIAL NOTE** IF you pick up FH's line, please be aware of the different schedules they offer as some are far too heavy on the nutes and I wouldn't been giving that level of ec so early on... I spoke directly with an FH rep and he suggested to go low and start slow with their line, since it is advanced and things can swing too far if we're not careful. He also heavily recommended the schedule with lower ec feeds from Week 1 onward. Please be aware of how much you're giving them if using FH. I haven't had problems yet but that's cause I'm moving slow and introducing a new additive/supplement every feed to see plant reaction.
-All girls have been moved to 2 gallons. I probably should have gone straight to 5 to save time, but I'm practicing my watering techniques and logging how everything is going. I see now that I have a pretty decent handle on watering a small plant in a big pot, so we'll just cut the middle man next round. Love the little fabrics though...cute!
-As mentioned, Inkbird set-up is being finalized and this tent should be almost entirely automated. I have done every last thing manually since the beginning, but I see that it's time to take a step here and broaden my scope. They had a sale...lol! Purchased to full kits as I will be acclimated my second tent in the exact same fashion to adequately test the EVA 3 against my quantum's. Everything needs to be the same parameter wise...only the light will be the difference and I hope this will yield far more accurate results.
I'll stop there! There's more but I gotta run. Tonight is the night folks. Proxy project #1 is going to be big show. Girls are healthy and 1 week old. Kept in propagation unit I lent him for this week, but we are moving the large unit as it is acclimated and automated already. SF is at 24" and 60%, or roughly 11,000 LUX. This way we're saving some power and reducing our heat. He's excited...I'm excited...and that first entry will be loooooong! Beware😂. Cheers folks! Much love and have a great week. I'm trying to keep up with everyone's goings on! If I haven't been by in awhile, please trust you'll see me soon. Getting my poop together, haha. Peace!👋👊
