Grump's Dip-N-Stix Grow 🌱

My co2 controller says my room is 150.
Most everyone says normal is 450+ so I don't see CO2 being a problem for you.
If you can't turn light up or down, then knowing your PPFD doesn't really matter either IMO.
I check PPFD with the Photone app on my cell but would not depend on it for anything important. It's free though.
My plants at all stages have turned leaves sideways or crinkled from the light being too strong.🤷‍♂️

earth ambient is 400, cannabis SUCKS CO2, if ur under ambient, youre plants are sucking co2 out of the room, net photosynthesis (nP) will increase if you can replenish that

I listened to the whole come on Eileen song while reading the rest of this...I guess I know what non sense I'll be thinking about all day today thanks @Stoneyluv

😂

Anyway, come on Eileen! Wait I see what you did there 🤣
 
One of my damn uniseals has a slow drip leak. Thankfully it's the one in the tent 🤣
I'll get that tightened during the next rez change. She'll get her first taste of nutes when I eventually see roots hit water.

Coming along fine.

Big suck. The leak that I thought was my uniseal was actually a hairline crack in the tote. It was mostly under the gasket but upon inspection, I made it much worse.

Plant is in the ICU temporarily. I have a gallon pitcher with her new nute mix place in the res with her netpot sitting just at water level. I'll grab a new tote in the morning...

Little root shot

Tote swap went well. No leaks as of yet. She's happy in her new home. Still showing off her curves.

Fat little third node shaping up nicely.

Now bend her the other way lmao

So another thing one can do when ppfd or dli is too high, a good opportunity for low stress training, as bending the plant away from the light, leaves room for the plant to decide and bounce back up to its comfort zone.

Too.
 
5th node is peeking out and begging to get snipped sometime this weekend she'll get her first haircut.

Still got some wavy leaves but each new set looks better than the last so we're riding it out. I figure if it's too much light, she'll be looking for more soon anyway.

I don't count cotyledons as a set of leaves.
I would wait till you see a full set of 5/7 blades.
She's staying nice and tight on her nodes now.

I agree. She's stacking up nicely and has slowed down on the vertical growth.

I'm not disagreeing on the cotyledon part, but I'm counting 4 nodes, with this set coming in to be the 5th. The 4th has 5 blades, they're just little.

This plant is 2 days older than when I topped my first round. She's throwing blades sooner also. Her second set had 3 blades whereas my first plant didn't throw 3s until the 4th node.

I have 3 left 👊

My gallon of CalMag showed up too, so that's nice.
 
She seems to have responded well enough to the topping and that 4th node still looks really good. I've stopped top-dressing because I'm not impressed with the root production. Still just a lonely dangler in the water. Maybe I dropped the level too soon?

Tent: 79-82° at 62-65% rh
Water: 270 tds, 5.7 ph at 72°

I do. I probably overdo it a little.

Me just talkin' out of my ass I'd say by continuing to top-feed, she stopped looking for water and just hunkered down in the netpot.

Nice. Morphology is neat. Once these new shoots grow up a bit, I'm gonna take those wonky lower leaves.
 
Gave the ol' girl a new batch of nutes. She's still looking pretty. I think we're on the 29th day from sprout. A little slow going but I think were about to take off.

Anyway. Here's what's in the water..

She looked like she might be asking for a little more light, also. I didn't raise the intensity but I dropped it down to 30" above the canopy.

That's the environmental chart for half a day. Red is temperature. Blue humidity, and Green for VPD.

lol.....really? ...you keep track of that stuff? I'm more into smoking, watching them grow and hoping for the best....lol....I've never had a cell phone so apps that do that are out of my league.

I set the buffer this round and it consistently bounces 3 degrees and 3 percent humidity. Close enough to call stable.

This is just the charted data. It also controls all the heat and humidity keeping the environment stable for me.

Alita brand. Smoke and Steam always bring up this brand when someone has an air pump question. It's nearly silent.
