Day 7: The small royal jack auto has been removed; no growth has emerged in the past 48 hours, so I intend to germinate a new seed for the tent today. The remaining plants appear robust and are developing rapidly. For now, I am supplying only water and will repeat this mid-week; next week I will add a trace of nitrogen, some micronutrients, and a drop of Supervit.
Lights are positioned 35 cm above the canopy. I use a dimmable Mars Hydro unit, currently set near 30–35% power, so each plant receives roughly the same illumination. Below is a conversion Gemini provided.
Lighting Data (Day 7)
Lamp Model: Mars Hydro TS2000
Lamp Height: 35 cm from the top of the plants
Dimmer Power: 30–35%
Foot-Candles (FC) Measurement: 940–1100 FC
Conversion in Lux: 10,114–11,836 Lux
PPFD value (PAR): 151–176 μmol/m²/s
I will wait for all plants to develop the third pair of leaves before raising power to around 40–45%.
Below is my usual schedule for autoflowers:
Days 9–14 (Early Veg / 3rd Leaf Set): 40% dimmer (~200–250 PPFD)
Days 15–21 (Mid Veg / Multiple Nodes): 50–60% dimmer (~350–450 PPFD)
Days 22–28 (Late Veg / Pre-Flowering): 70–80% dimmer (~550–650 PPFD)
Flowering Stage (Week 5+): 100% Full Power (~700–900+ PPFD)
Day 9 – 150 ml of water placed in a circle 6–7 cm from the plant.
Day 10: I intend to increase the light dimmer to roughly 40% tomorrow or the following day, depending on how the Royal Queen Jack develops. I have also germinated another seed that will soon enter the tent; I planned to raise the lamp slightly because the plants are growing taller, and I want the new one to avoid failing directly beneath it.
