On with the show. Been wanting to catch you all up on some things. First, I have changed my 12/12 time another hour. It is now on at 11 am then off at 11 pm. My reasoning? Lemme show you.
The temp. I want to fluctuate that temp as widely as possible. I have read anywhere from a 10-20 F degree swing in Dark is beneficial. I had a big epiphany after putting myself in PeeJay's climate. It was helpful for me to understand just what kind of extremes our girl will thrive. I also read somewhere that if you can grow corn, you can grow weed. Climate wise. Where I am, it's time to grow corn.
So, the humidity thing is still something to notice, but Nature is gonna do what it is gonna do. Temps are also doing what they do. My biggest 'worry' is the hottest part of the day, which is halfway through lights on. Plenty of time to have my little panic attacks, move fans around.
Sunrise is about 6 hours before lights on, so I'm getting a pretty maximum cool period, while still not leaving too much freak out time before I barge into the cab. I also have an extra hour at night to do some last minute fussing.
That's my reasoning. I changed the time the second day the Larry B's came, didn't mention it, I don't think.
Looky lou!
Here is another thing that is going to be fun for me. I was focused on sexing that I didn't really pay close attention to the beginning of blossom. Excited acknowlegement at first, but then all attention on where I had banana balls or not. Now I can have the pleasure of watching the buds unfurl. Really 'citin'!
That's almost it for today. I made a mistake and accidentally ate something with breadcrumbs in it. Could just KICK myself. I haven't poisoned myself since Easter. But I really wanted to bring this up. Remember Larry B2's run off water was rather acidic? Well, it was worse today. Today was the first fert (second water) for the Larry Twins. I used the water from the humidifier, just letting you know. Water went in a near perfect 7 and came out 4.5. That's rounding out low.
Here's what I did. I took the run off water, upped the Ph to a good 8, then rewatered. Did this twice, and finally got a reading of a solid 5 coming out again. Is it time to reach for the eggshells? Larry B1 is fine with the Ph. 7 in, 6.8 out.
Now, while I am thinking, Betty took the clones and put them in those pop up peat grow pellets, tomato sized. From there they went into FFOF bought especially for the transplant. And, I don't know if I mentioned, but those mitten leaves? Really dark, nitrogen toxicity colored green in the crayon box. I'm not saying at all that it is toxicity, but could those big fat easily stressed leaves have sucked up vital Ph balance contributors to the dirt?
Larry B2 had more of these leaves, but she also has more leaves, period. I am suddenly fascinated by dirt.
Falling asleep in my soup. :yawn:
Thanks again for....zzzzzzzz
