We're really hoping that our girls do some catching up this week!
We're keeping a close eye on our nitrogen levels. 2 weeks ago we had some major symptoms showing up of nitrogen deficiency.
Since transplanting into fresh soil and lightly feeding, we're seeing some signs of nitrogen toxicity, with a slight "clawing" of some new leaves, which are also quite a dark shade of green.
Day 29:
- Temp: 68F - 79F (lights off / on)
- RH: 61%
- We had planned on watering today but we're going to wait until tomorrow. The pots still had some water weight to them.
Day 30:
- Watered with dechlorinated tap water, pH 6.3/6.4
- Each plant received approximately 2L of water
- Removed 1 of the Sunblaster 6400K LED strip lights & relocated the 2nd strip light crossways in the center of the tent.
- Increased the intensity of our "Elite 360" fixture, from 25% to 40% to maintain LUX levels of approximately 18,000 at canopy.
Day 31:
- no changes
Day 32:
- did some LST on both plants, bending the top 2 growing shoots down. We plan to top these at the 3rd node, once we get 5 nodes showing.
Day 33:
- no change
- both plants recovering quickly from LST
Day 34:
- minor LST adjustments
- watered with dechlorinated tap water, with .5ml/L of BioBizz's "Fish Mix" & "Acti-vera", .5ml/L of Remo Nutrients' "VeloKelp" and .25ml/L of General Hydroponics' "CaliMAGic".
- 280ppm, pH 6.2
Day 35:
- minor defoliation, removing the fan leaves and shoots at the 2nd node of each of the 2 main branches. We were going to do this at the same time that we do the 2nd topping but we still have a couple of days before they're ready for their 2nd topping and we decided to go ahead with the minor defoliation to help give the branches at the 1st and 3rd nodes more light.
@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. 👍
