Ive done some outdoor over the years but this is my first indoor grow and first scrogging attempt. I'm always looking for advice and constructive criticism! Heres my setup information:
3x3 vivison grow tent
600W Quantum ballast, aircooled hood. Plantmax HPS bulb currently. (Started with a 400w tube setup but wasnt happy with it)
6" inline fan ducted from charcoal filter through light hood and out of tent.
Small fan inside tent for circulation. All bottom vents open. Great airflow when the fan kicks on.
4 "Purple Punch" clones in 3 gallon air pots, started 11/2/19.
Today (1/4/20) is day 28 of flowering. (Start of week 5)
Soil is a 50/50 mix of FFOF and FFHF. Nutrients used are the FoxFarms trio using soil chart pretty much exact.
Temps during lights on between 72.5F min - 78F max. Light off temps between 63F min - 70F max.
Humidity during lights ON have been between 40% - 60% max.
Lights OFF humidity will shoot through the roof fast (above 70%) but as long as i make sure the inline stays on the entire dark cycle, i can maintain 45%-63% max but usually sits around 54% RH.
Ive been watering every 3rd day at about 6-7cups per plant. 1 plant seems to give me a ton of runoff but the other 3 have been about 1-2 cups runoff. I feel that the plants look fairly decent but im a bit concerned with my runoff PH. Im a bit ocd so i check every watering. Ive been watering with "Windmill Express" water the entire grow so i havent had to adjust the fresh waterings but with nutes i have to add about 5ml of PH UP per gallon to get the PH up to 6.0-6.5.
My runoff when using nutes have been consistently lower than 6.0. I have a cheaper PH pen so i also rely on the drops. They have been in the light orange to orange color when testing run off but i always make sure my nute mix (when testing with drops) is light green to army green before watering. (6.0-6.5 from the bottles color chart)
Ive journaled this grow from day one and have info for every watering, every ph test, ppm test and fluctuations of temps and humidity. Like i said, im a bit OCD. Lmfao.
Any advice on next steps? Not really sure if should worry or just continue with my current routine. Plants seem healthy. Thanks for any replys! Happy 2020!!
