Hey friend! Great looking training on that plant amazing work you have done. I have always been interested in growing bubba island kush myself. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers based off what I see in your diary? First off, Cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity, It is the buds that hate it. Early on in veg we can capitalize on this for more vigorous healthy growth. We can look for temps up to 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. We do not want too big of a swing in temperature between lights on and lights off or we will encourage our plants to stretch more than we want them to. Also we can utilize humidity at this stage up to 75% in our rooms to really help maximize the plants growth. When our plants are small, Our roots are small. Cold temps will really stunt their development, especially during the night cycle as this is when plants do most of their growth. They will photosynthesize with lights on store up energy & when they go to sleep do most of their growth. I recommend looking into vapor pressure deficit, Otherwise known as VPD. It will give you a much better understanding of how important temperature and humidity play a role in our plant development. Humidity is great early on to supplement our smaller plants root structures with some foliar intake from the leafs. But when we add in humidity we must do it right to make sure we are optimizing our VPD point. Please read this article and get used to using the chart that it has as well. Log your numbers daily! https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ Next, I would get yourself a thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 64 MAX & a PAR meter to better read your plant's needs and grow to them. This equipment will also help us optimize our light to plant distances. For a 50W LED your light is way to far away. If the plants cannot get a good level of PAR from the lights to photosynthesize they will grow very slowly. Grab some light pulleys like the sun grip light pulleys if you do not have them yet to raise & lower the light as needed. Right now the best thing you could do to get your plants growing is beginning to learn these things and dial them in. In soil, We want our PH around 6.1, 5.1 is VERY low, There are some great graphs online that show how the PH balance is effected when it begins to lean one way or the other out of the sweet spot. I hope this information helps you out friend! If you have any questions please feel free to follow my profile & hit me up anytime! We are currently producing a tutorial series to teach everybody to grow high quality craft cannabis the grow diary for it is live right now on my profile & also the video series of it is live on my youtube, If that interests you head over and subscribe! It is linked off my GrowDiaries main profile. Happy growing my friend!
