Week 1 went well, with no concerns.
For week 2, we'll be slowly increasing the light intensity and will increase the air movement within the tent to promote strong stems.
No plans to feed this week since the soil mix already contained an initial charge of fertilizer.
Day 8:
- RH: 75%
- Temp: 74F - 79F
Day 9:
- not much to report... Steady as she goes! 🌱
Day 10:
- watered both plants with a very small amount of dechlorinated tap water, approximately 60ml per plant.
Day 11:
- We discovered that there was an issue with our timer, which controls the Sunblaster LED strip lights & humidifier. It was not shutting off, so for the last 4 days, when our main light would shut off (on a separate timer), our strip lights would stay on, giving our seedlings 24hrs of light.
We've fixed the issue and are now back on to a proper 18/6 schedule.
Day 12:
- lowered the 2 Sunblaster 6400K LED strip lights a couple of inches, increasing LUX levels from 11,500 to 14,000 at canopy.
- soil is feeling pretty dry by weight but we're going to hold off on watering until tomorrow.
Day 13:
- RH: 75%
- Temp: 69F-79F
Day 14:
- watered each plant with approximately 200ml of dechlorinated tap water, pH-adjusted to 6.5.
@timbarin, so far we've only used it the one day, for about 2-3hrs during the warmest part of the afternoon. When the outside temps are above 10C, and with our light at 90% intensity, the tent would reach 84F, instead of the 78F that we're aiming for.
@MrHightimes, Ya, it's kind of weird because for the first few months that we had that pH meter, it needed calibration almost every week! We never knew if we could trust it... but since then, it seems to have stabilized and we haven't had to calibrate it for months. We check it with pH reference solution every few weeks and it's been spot on. We'd love to upgrade to the Blue Labs meter but it isn't necessary quite yet. The only complaint that we might have is that it takes a couple of minutes to get a true reading, whereas the TDS meter we have gives you accurate readings in just seconds.
nice grows! can you tell me how satisfied you are with the AC INFINITI T6? have you used other brands and how dos it compare? I am eyeing one now for the controls set up features, does it clear humidity? heat? and how quiet is it?
thank you for your feedback!
@Stonyways, Hi, we've been really happy with the Cloudline T6 fan. It works very well and has programmable settings. We currently have it set to turn on any time the temperature reaches 81F or any time the humidity exceeds 61%. We're glad we got the 6" version instead of the 4" version, since we can run the fan at lower speeds, which means it's very quiet. It's actually much quieter than our little oscillating fan! It's quite powerful and has no problem managing heat and humidity in our little tent. I think you could easily put this in a 4x4 or 6x6 tent and it would work just as well.
As the female half of "VanCplGrows", i don't have a lot of experience with other fans so i can't really compare it to anything but it does everything that we want and it does it well!
@timbarin, Thanks brother! We're a bit slow with our replies this week but we are happy to be back and happy to have ya following along on our latest grow. Cheers!
@Beachbudz, Absolutely! They may not be the biggest plants for 14 weeks but it's been a great learning process and we sort of prefer the leisurely schedule compared to the autoflowers we were growing before... which always seemed like a race against time, especially if you run into any problems like deficiencies or other. This has been a very comfortable grow for us. 👍
