Week 4 Veg Report - TrolMaster Chronicles š±
What a week itās been in the garden! We finally transplanted the Papaya Zoap into its final Autopot, and let me tell you, this plant is something special. Though her roots werenāt quite where I wanted them to be yet, the move was needed to help her catch up with the rest of the crew. Sheās already looking fantastic in her new home, and I have no doubt sheās about to explode with growth in the coming days. Sometimes, you just have to trust the process, and Iām feeling like this is one of those moments. Itās almost as if the room itself is taking on a life of its own. šæ
In fact, Iām starting to believe that what weāre building here is something greater than ourselvesāthereās this energy in the room, a feeling of everything coming together perfectly. I canāt wait to see how this journey unfolds!
Dialing in the VPD with TrolMasterās Tech
Now, letās talk VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and how Iāve been keeping everything in check with the Tend-X and the incredible (DSH-2U) Humidity Station. VPD is crucial to plant healthāitās all about finding that perfect balance between humidity and temperature to optimize transpiration and nutrient uptake. The (DSH-2U) Humidity Station, connected directly to my humidifier, has been an absolute game-changer in this regard. With its real-time data and automation, it allows me to monitor and adjust the RH with pinpoint accuracy.
Simple yet brilliant, the (DSH-2U) Humidity Station is keeping my room at the sweet spot I need. Whether Iām tweaking the settings from my phone while Iām out and about or just fine-tuning things while relaxing at home, this machine does it all. Itās like having an extra pair of hands in the grow roomāand when youāre managing something as complex as VPD, thatās invaluable!
And yes, the TM+ Pro Appāletās not forget how awesome it is. Iām adjusting my grow room from the couch, the car, or even the bathroom š. Iāve said it before, but this app is making growing easier than ever.
Feeding the Girls: The Perfect Blend š±
Weāve upped the game by adding CaMg-Boost at 0.25 ml/L to the feeding schedule. Along with the 1 ml/L of the all-in-one liquid, this brings the TDS up to 320 ppm, with a pH of 5.99 and solution temperature of 24.8°C. In the soil, readings are around 415 ppm, with temperatures hovering around 25°C The plants are absolutely thriving, and I can already see the difference this new feed is making.
I canāt help but have a bit of fun with this processāit feels like Iām spoiling them with the best of the best. And theyāre rewarding me with beautiful growth and vibrant green color. You know how it is, with the right care and attention, these plants are truly becoming a masterpiece in the making. š±
