The basement dehumidifier is working well now and the tent VPD is on point. It's staying at 1.2-1.4 with no problem, with highs close to 80f and RH around 58% during the day. Between that and the new VSF6450, these ladies are really eating! They drank 5 gallons in one day again.
The PPMs spiked after their last feeding, so they're just getting water for now. I can see the pH starting to trend lower, which happens when they're flowering and consuming more Potassium & Magnesium (Cations). So I'm skipping the pH down in my well water, which adds carbonates to help buffer the res and keep the pH from falling. By doing this I usually don't need to add pH UP.
Other than that, I've just been watching these ladies flower. You can tell they're loving the new
@VIVOSUN VSF6450. They're praying up to the light and getting quite a bit of frost on the leaves. The edges and corners are still what I would like them to be, but a lot better than they were a week ago. With the VPD in point and pushing the light and nutes, I'm getting excited to see what these ladies can do. I love the look of the flowers already, those pistils look huge!
There's still a few branches that won't make it to the canopy so we'll do a little more chopping soon. I don't want them to take energy that could go to the top buds. It's time to start growing and fattening some those buds!
