Nust remember that every leaf you pluck that is in the light will lower photosynthesis, which drives brix, so try not to take any of those ones.
Different strains will brix higher than others, so when you find the balance and maintain it, you let the genetics shine thru, which is the whole point actually, so if you do the exact same thing every grow but with different strains, you will see different maximums.
I'm very curious. When measuring VPD it's really important to grab air temp and RH right from the canopy. Even a few inches away and it will start to change.
So I'm having an issue right at the net where leaves are laying right on top of one another. I'm hoping just remove just enough to not have water puddles on the leaves.
Haha thanks and believe me I still worry, just slightly less than before. I still change my clothes and wash my hands before unzipping the tent if I was outside for any reason. Now if I could just kill off these last straggler gnats...Different strains will brix higher than others, so when you find the balance and maintain it, you let the genetics shine thru, which is the whole point actually, so if you do the exact same thing every grow but with different strains, you will see different maximums.
Don't get upset if you do a run and they just won't go over 18, and smile like a bandit when you find a strain that will give you a 23.
Just keep doing what your doing and let your stash grow. The brix will be what the plant can give you if you keep showing them the love
You caught on to brix quickly. Kinda nice to not have to worry about bugs hey?
I will check tonight.
I relocated to the outside haha my tent would be unmanageable if I didn't have it. Also my wife would be super mad because they are beginning to be fragrant lol.
Ok good stuff
When you remove a leaf in the light because you have too, make sure that light can strike another leaf below then, so defoliate from the top down, not the bottom up. As long as any leaf catches that light and not the floor, you're good
If you brew a tea of EWC, molasses, and if you have some kelp toss that in too, it will boost microbial action which will help as gnats themselves aren't really a problem, it's their larvae in the soil that can harm the plants roots, but if the microbes get to eat those larvae it's free food, so it is a part of balance, but in my opinion better if you get rid of them.
Lol brew a tea!? I haven't signed up for @Azimuth advanced potions class yet. I'm still trying to get through dry amendments first hahaha.
I think after Weds feed and water there will be a slight dry period and the diatomaceous Earth will spread across the top.
I agree, your brix are dialed and you need good balance for that. Try the DE 1st. Kelp is a destressor so if I brew a tea I always add some, but it won't help deter gnats. It's for the plants. Upping the microbes will.Lol brew a tea!? I haven't signed up for @Azimuth advanced potions class yet. I'm still trying to get through dry amendments first hahaha.
I do want to get rid of them because no one likes smoking gnats
Also mixing in kelp is something I could do more regular if you think it may improve things. I am a little weary about changing up the routine lol.
Thats pretty much spot on for early flower. I would say your brix agrees.Tent shot
@Gee64 I busted out the thermal gun and got this. I think it falls pretty close to where it should be at in early flower.

Your tent is 
!
Hey thanks for stopping by! I appreciate the compliments, I'm trying to keep them on the right track and they've rewarded me so far.It has been a real pleasure following your journal @g-one-three
Nice work, the Girls are Looking Great
Cheers

I don't think raising temps in your tent will help reduce the frost risk. Might even increase it!Be warned there a frost warning in the tent
Haha I might give that a try... Can't wait to bust out the scope and see them up close hahaI don't think raising temps in your tent will help reduce the frost risk. Might even increase it!
, thats gonna be some great smoke
