I missed this post somehow, thanks G.. I’m trying, but also trying not to try too hard and kill her with love yknow lol.Looking good growmie
Before I jump into addressing and questioning id like to welcome you to my journal! I really appreciate you taking your time to pass your knowledge forward. To me, that’s what the cultivation of this plant is all about, helping each other live more harmonious lives. I will post a separate reply in a few when I get a chance to sit downThe very essence of a plant. What is a plant? well I am glad you asked. A plant is a solar powered water pump that has the unique ability to grow. As it pumps water it pulls in food from the ground, in the water(please dont jump in with the fungus argument yet, yes fungus feeds Ms Plant too) and that food laden water moves up the plant into the leaves where the solar power causes a bio-chemical reaction called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis turns carbon dioxide into carbon and dioxide. Dioxide is oxygen. O2. It seperates the carbon and holds it and releases the oxygen. It uses the carbon to make sugar and the sugar is not only the plants food, if the plant can PS ( photosynthesize) an excess of food it will push it back down the roots and bribe underground critters and fungi to bring the plants whatever nutrient it wants in exchange for the sugar. A plant that can PS an excess of sugar to use for trade to create itself a balanced diet is referred to as a healthy plant. Remember that. Healthy plant. Its of key impotance. Its all you need. So, when the water and food get pumped up the plant, how does it actually get pulled up the plant? Water is heavy. Its the PS. When the chemical reaction occurs the oxygen(O2) that gets seperated from the carbon( organics translates into "of carbon based") gets pushed out of the under side of the leaves through pores called stomata. Stomata open in the day and close at night. At night there is no PS as the solar power has been turned off. If the stomata remained open air would rush in and all liquid in the plant would drain out the roots and the plant would die. So when PS forces the 02 and excess water out the stomata new water with new food gets sucked in at the root. Making sense so far? Pretty simple mechanism really. So far so good? even though we havent even talked about plant issues yet? So if you have a healthy plant all you really need to do is make the pump run faster and it all speeds up and the plant grows faster,becomes more healthier, turns a larger sugar profit to buy even more needed nutrients to PS more to run even faster to PS more sugar to buy more nutrients ..... that is the kind of tail chasing you want. A bulletproof business model. VPD is what gives you that. If vpd is correct for the environment you have been dealt the pump will run faster and VPD will adjust to a really wide range of environments. All you need to do is have nutrient rich soil so there is ACTUALLY food to supply to the plant, water to carry it, and light for solar power. Please dont start thinking things like " well PH has a big part too Mister, or Hey pal your cal/mag ratios are vital" yet. We are setting the stage here. Once its set you can tinker with it any way you want, and its fun as hell to tinker, but you don't want to chase your tail. Its distracting and discouraging.
So... how do you make the pump safely run faster? Its a juggling act, and that is good because you can speed up or slow down the juggling to get the exact same results from numerous different environments. There are 3 parts to it. Each parts value is exactly equal. By changing any 1 of the 3 parts you can adjust the other 2 parts to create harmony. 1 part is ambient room temperature. The 2nd part is leaf temperature, and the 3rd part is Relative Humidity(RH). lets say your room temp is 76f. Your RH is 60. Chances are your plants leaf temp is 74f. That is because a healthy plant in a decent environment will try by design to run 2 degrees lower than room temp. The 2 degree difference is perfect for great PS to drive the water and oxygen out the stomata. so if your plant is 76/74/60% then your VPD value is 1.03. That is perfect if you are in mid to late veg. As your plant enters flower it starts to require more food to grow big juicy buds so now you understand that logic dictates you must speed up the pump to get more food. If you speed up the pump but don't add more solar power to create more PS then the leaves fill up with undigested food. We call it nute burn. Making more sense now? starting to i bet. So how does it really work. Well if you take 76/74/60 and change it to 76/75/60 your VPD value jumps to 1.13. For flower you want 1.35-1.45 all day long and a healthy plant will cycle itself down to about 1.2 and up to about 1.55 all on its own without you changing anything just as when you are out for a walk on a sunny morning in your shorts and its beautiful, but a cloud crosses the sun and it gets cold so you walk faster and your metabolism warms you up because of the exercise of walking faster. 1.5 is redline. Don't go above it. Alot of your issues have been from over revving.
So... controlling room temp is easy. Controlling humidity is easy-ish. But how the hell do you control leaf temp? its easy too. The closer to the light the more the plant exercises and the warmer its body gets. You need to learn how to control VPD with heat,light height,and RH. You also need an infrared thermometer and download any vpd calculator from the app store that you wish. I use one called VPD Calculator. If you get this right in 3 days you will see a difference. In 10 days you will literally be blown away. The best part is good food and good VPD give you a healthy plant rich in sugar. Bugs dont have a pancreas so they cant digest sugar. It turns to alcohol inside them and they die. Proper VPD with a balanced diet equals no pests ever. I know you got questions so let em rip. I was helped and now Karma says I have to pay it back. We can talk cal/mag, microbes, fungi, nutes,organics all you like and I will gladly share what I know but it all only works with good VPD. Anyone who grows wicked weed without using VPD HAS good vpd without realizing it.
All of your tail-chasing issues through your entire grow are VPD related and as nice as your plants look now they are all still sick and not ready for flower. VPD will either fix them all or tell you matter of factly what few if any problems remain.
Ok so I get the impression you missed a page or may not have seen everything I’ve written (I write a lot), or maybe I haven’t mentioned it, thinking I already have (I do this constantly to my wife lol) I am tracking VPD.. my thermometer tracks the VPD of my room and charts it for me. I do not have a leaf temp thermometer yet, but have been operating with a +\- range of 2-3 degrees each way to ensure I’m staying near my acceptable range. I’ll be going to buy one in the morning so I can stop guessing.The very essence of a plant. What is a plant? well I am glad you asked.
