Weekly Temperatures
Humidity has been creeping up in the tent all week. I had the exhaust on really low to retain the heat & moisture in the tent. As these girls grow and drink more they also respire more. Then, to top it off, the dehumidifier stopped working sometime yesterday. I got it working again and turned up the exhaust fan in the veg tent. The humidity is back down in the 50s. The temperature will be a couple degrees cooler with more airflow but that is better that humidity in the 70s.
I said that when they really start eating and drinking it would be easier to see what is going on and it is; they are hungry. Jolt is drinking the most at about 2/3 L/day. PPMs are dropping and pH is rising signaling that they are eating more than they are drinking. I'm still topping off the buckets with full-strength nutes but may have to get more aggressive raising the EC.
They are all growing well. The generic 100w LED I have in this tent is only about 7 inches away and 30k LUX. I would need to get within 3 inches to be at 45k LUX. Right now I am leaving the light where it is and letting the plants grow up into it. They all have pretty big internodal spacing to go along with some really big fan leaves.
These will be the tallest plants I have grown yet. I have not topped/fimmed anyone yet and don't think I will. The two in back (Joan & Jazz) have both self-topped. The two in front are not topped but still have really nice bud growth throughout the plant. My plan is to leave these girls alone as much as possible. I will need to start some light defoliation in a week or so just to keep air movement in the tent, but I don't plan on topping or breaking apical dominance right now. When I move them to the flower tent I will do some LST/scrog.
Oh, and I spotted a visitor in the tent today. Not sure how she got in there but I'm going to take it a sign of good luck!
Happy Growing.
Luckily we have this community to help us out. I bet you can't wait for that first harvest
It is too hard to get the plants in back out of the tent so I just have pictures of the front two. They get stained a bit by the B-52 and the clay balls but they all look and smell good though.
