Just balancing out how much tent is open, to control Rh mainlyL
Flip soon I suppose.
See where it goes.
very poor ENV controls, just tent, no central AC either , STILL.
Don't have much time either way
Trying to squeeze another harvest in
Either way, love e having plants growing.
well that pic is the one working, the other one did not upload....Hmm.
This fan shit the bed.
Lovely.

- Volumetric Water Content (VWC%)
- The volume of water a substrate is holding at any given time.
- Field Capacity
- The maximum VWC% of a substrate/media prior to run off.
- Full Saturation
- When a substrate/media can no longer hold anymore water and peak VWC% can no longer increase.
- Pore Water EC (PwEC)
- The EC of the water within the pores of the substrate or media. This is also called Substrate EC.
- Input EC
- The EC of the feed water, or the solution that is being fed through irrigation events.
- Shot
- A single irrigation event
- Run Off
- Water that is drained from the substrate
- Dryback
- The period between irrigation events when the substrate is drying out.
- EC Stacking
- The strategy of limiting run off and having larger overnight drybacks to increase the substrate EC.
- Crop Steering
- “An advanced cultivation technique that manipulates key factors of growing, such as irrigation, temperature, humidity, and light to precisely guide plant growth towards desired outcomes”
- Generative
- A crop steering strategy that means having a larger dryback, a higher substrate EC, and encourages Generative Growth, which means the plant will focus on flower site formation (stacking) and not on vertical growth or green leaf growth. Sometimes referred to as “stressing” the plant.
- Vegetative
- A crop steering strategy that means having a smaller dryback, a lower substrate EC and encourages Vegetative Growth, which means the plant will focus on growing vertically and swelling (bulk) of the bud sites that are already there. This will also produce new green leaf growth. Sometimes referred to as “less stress” to the plant.
- P0/P1/P2/P3
- Different phases of irrigation events.
- P0- The amount of dryback/decrease in water content after the lights turn on, but before the first irrigation event.
- P1- the first irrigation events after lights are on. This brings the substrate/media to “field capacity” and desired run off
- P2- Maintenance shots during lights on. P2 feeds are how you control how much dryback you have.
- P3- Overnight dryback, from the last P2 feed to when lights turn on again.
- Veg
- The phase of growth after the seeding state but before flowering stage.
- Flower
- The phase of growth while the plant is producing mature flowers
- Stretch
- The first 1-4 weeks of the flowering phase, where most genetics will perform their “stretch” and see 2x-5x vertical growth.
- Bulk
- Part of the flowering phase where the plant is putting on weight, typically weeks 5-7/8
- Finish
- The end of the flowering phase, initiating senescence aka the end of life for the plant. When the plant starts to express its colors and its terpenes the most.
- Senescence
- The gradual deterioration of functional characteristics in living organisms.
Just up stillMe, unfortunately.
You?

I put that stuff in my pond to kill the algae. Nasty to breath and touch. Pretty cool color though.Looking at incorporating Copper Sulfate into the grows.
Ya its nasty shit it kills all the tadpoles if I put it in the spring. We put in an arerotor couple years back and I have been trying to hit it with bacteria when I can ,we have alot less blooms now but still have to use the copper a little.tried barley straw and corn meal and different stuff.even raked it all out one year.i won't be raking it again that's for sure.Copper is not removed easily once installed.
It kills invertebrates and is known for antibacterial qualities.
I have considered using actual copper in contact with soil.
