Stage - Seedling: Day 10

Today's temperatures will reach 100° F (38°C) with Rh below 25%.

Tent climate: 76° F (24°C) with Rh at 56%

I pretty happy with the growth this week. #1 is growing very well and #4 looks way better than #3 which still has more yellow tint than the others. Although #2 has some good growth I am still concerned it may be stunted. All received 25ml of water this morning.

Loving all that growth! As for the line angles, I see them more as a creative flaw

Have a happy Saturday man. Fix those damn lines!

Already fixed.

Stage - Seedling: Day 11

Today's temperatures will reach 97° F (36°C) with Rh below 10%.

Tent climate: 77° F (25°C) with Rh at 55%

I only gave them 10ml of nutrient water last night. This morning I gave 30ml to #2, 3 and 4 and 35ml to #1 which produced 24 ml runoff near 20%. I added a little more Coco to #3 after I took the photos to bring the level up.

Today's update photos.

Have a great Sunday.

Consistently putting out some of the best detailed info and the best photos! They are looking fabulous Dano.

If you could stop making us look bad, that would be appreciated...um k?...K

 

[Brett Blaze]

Thanks BA. Yours are looking great too. Even that um that "unique" looking #5.

The ladies are really starting to take off. #1 and #2 are actually 14 days from opening and are almost ready for Veg stage. The 3rd node is about a day away from where I want to transplant and start the Veg stage. I am hoping #3 and 4, which are actually 10 days old, catch up a bit because lights will be increasing and the nutrients will be changing once in Veg.

Enlarged photo of #1 and 2 nodes

Have a great growing day.

I'm going to be working on an auto irrigation system this week. I'm waiting for a flood pan I ordered to collect the drain water. The pan measures 22" x 45" x 7" and holds 18 gallons. It's made for a 2 x 4 tent. The reservoir to provide plant watering will only have about 10 gallons so even if the pump doesn't shut off it won't flood the room. I never knew how hard it was to find a decent pan that would fit in a 2 x 4 tent.

I will be posting details later this week.

I decided to go ahead and transplant #1 and # 2 to 1 gal net pots. Tomorrow's update will be Veg day 1.

#3 and #4 have about 4 days to go before they get transplanted.

I made a gallon batch of solution per the instructions for the @Prescription Blend nutrients. I used tap water that is chlorine free and adjusted the Ph to 6.3. The tap water baseline ppm is 150 after adding the nutes the ppms read 650 (500 nutrient ppm)

Although I saturated the solo cup with the seedling keeping it all together was tricky. I sprinkled some mycorrhizae in the hole and around the coco base to help promote root growth.

Each of the transplanted seedlings received 4 oz. (120ml) of nutrient solution which produced some runoff.

Making the hole with a solo cup

It's not the best photo but you can see the roots that were collected around the base.

The Demon LED from @Budget LED was increased to 250 PPFD (15K Lux). #1 and #2 were moved to the center and I placed 3 and 4 on the outer edges

The plants are sitting on a drip tray over a plant saucer which sits on a 12" Lazy Susan which sits on milk crates.

Can't wait to see how they look in the morning.

I changed back to the other camera. It is easier to adjust and mount.

Until the morning

Looking healthy! I need to try those fabric pots with the velcro. I still haven't ordered my tent cam either. Is that most recent photo from this evening, the same one you shared a screenshot of? That resolution looks good. I like it!

Yes It's the camera I showed in an earlier post. I switched to a ring camera I had lying around awhile back but switched back tonight. The bracket for the camera makes it simple to mount on tent rods.

Where did you find those drip trays? Seems they would work great with the cloth pots.

 

[Brett Blaze]

Hi Azimuth

The elevators are "Gro Pro 725675 Pot Elevator, 13 in". The saucers are "Plant Saucer 14 inch, Heavy Large Planter Durable Thicker". Both are on Amazon.

Getting ready to go check on the ladies.

That was an hour and 14 minutes ago?! Come on already! Speed it up already.



Came here to copy your intro for another journal I'm starting. Figured I should tell you about the burglary. Don't want to be strolling around here with that kind of guilt.

#1 and #2: Stage - Veg Day 1 - 15 days above ground

#3 and #4: Stage - Seedling Day 11

Today's temperatures will reach 99° F (37°C) with Rh below 15%.

Tent climate: 75° F (23°C) with Rh at 72%

Ok the big news is last night's transplant. After a full 12 hrs. of light since the transplant both plants look healthy. Although it may be me but I think they look a little pale. Since I increased the @Prescription Blend to the Veg stage formula last night I'm hoping they get a darker green. The only thing I have added is some mycorrhizae when transplanting. Going forward I will schedule a mycorrhizae add once a week.

All plants were given the @Prescription Blend Veg stage formula. #1 and #2 took 7 oz. (210ml) while #3 and #4 were given 20ml.

The @Budget LED Demon is set for 300 PPFD (16.5K Lux) for #1 and #2 and 250 PPFD for #3 and #4.

#3 and #4 have both started the 3rd node so transplanting should be in about three days.

It's going to be tough to select only two.
