Today is day 16 and I’m absolutely amazed by the progress of these girls. The plants are responding really well to fixing the lighting issue, so I delved in deeper to really do the best I could without a quantum meter.
I used the PPFD measurements as a rough guide that were shown on HLG YouTube video at different heights, spaces etc. Then I confirmed and played around with different heights and wattages using the manufacturer’s stated efficiency/spectrum/etc. I’ll attach the measurements that I’m using as a rough guide. Keep in mind, the PPFD stated is an approximation, and it’s also at the FLOOR of the grow space. The plants are many inches higher, thus will have higher PPFD.
Today, the plants got watered with about 3/4 of a gallon (between all pots) of roughly 250-275 ppm R.O. Water, SCD Bioag 4mL, Cal/Mag 2mL, FloraMicro 2mL, and MicroBloom 2.5mL. These were all per gallon, so it received about 75% of those measurements. I also broke up the mycelium in the eXhale bag. Tonight, at lights out, all the plants will receive a preventative treatment with a neem-based ready to use organocide. This will be discontinued upon the start of flower. Since these are autos, this could be one of their only treatments.
