Quickly picked out a small Vivosun dehumidifier to place in the tent. Looks like I will be able to pull out the humidifier and this should take it's place nicely in the tent. Hope it all holds together until it gets here.

Looking THIC. Said fuck it and put the AC Infinity all the way up to 10 to curb the RH. The dehumidifier outside the tent doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'm still going to leave it running in the hopes it is doing something lol. Lights off temp is 73 but the heater is going to run pretty much 24/7 now. RH is down to 47 on the Inkbird and the AC Infinity says it's 55% RH. Much better either way. The heater is blowing into the tent mostly on the OG2 and the lower leaves it had were showing the heat stress. Not much I can do other than let the OG2 take the punishment for the better of the rest.

This morning I had also raised the lights a couple inches. Canopy had snuck up closer to them without me noticing.

Peek at the CG1 in the front.

Day 63 - 5/2/2020

Cruising right along. Water day. Mixed up 2 tsp Mega Crop and this time used 1 tsp of Bud Explosion. Came out to 1.53 EC and 6.0 pH. All watered in and they should chug along. Just starting to notice the beginning formation of trichomes on the leaves near the bud sites. JUST beginning but I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Moved the out of tent dehumidifier right out side the tent. Seems to be making a huge difference. Had to order a mini extension cord so that I could get both humidification and dehumidification setup on the Inkbird. Weird angle plugs for the "WORK 1" outlet blocked "WORK 2". Current RH is 45.9% on the Inkbird and 54% on the AC Infinity monitor. I'm pretty happy with that for now. Full flower I think I'm going to want it even lower so I think the Vivosun dehumidifier I ordered will be perfect in tent.

Day 64 - 5/3/2020

Plants haven't shown any type of unhappiness since the higher feed yesterday. While poking my head around the tent I noticed that it seems like CG2 and NL1 were both dry enough to probably be watered again. They are all taking .5 gal of water every other day right now. So I mixed up a 1 gal watering can with 1/2 tsp Mega Crop and 1/4 tsp Bud Explosion (quarter proportions but should have been 1/5th proportions). It came out high to about 1.7 EC so I poured some out and added fresh water and it came down to 1.56 EC. pH zeroed in at 6.0. Perfect.

Watered CG2 and NL1 with about half each, put a few drops on each of the others lol.

Day 65 - 5/4/2020

May the 4th be with you. Normal water day, mixed up 2 tsp Mega Crop and 1 tsp Bud Explosion (always into 5 gal of water), came out to 1.56 EC and 6.0 pH. Watered all 6 plants with about 1/2 gal of water, which is just shy of run off. This ends up leaving just over 1 gal of nutrient solution left over. Instead of mixing up more tomorrow for two plants I decided to save the leftover and put it in my 1 gal watering jug for tomorrow and I'll just give it a shake up before watering CG2 and NL1 with it.

Pulled out CG1 and WT1 to water. Defoliation looks good, middle to lower section still have some fan leaves but no reason to pull those. Air circulation is great and they aren't blocking any flower sites.

I've only been feeding Mega Crop and now Bud Explosion, since flower. Haven't added CalMag since well over a month and they've been fine. Going to add a little bit back in next watering for them all. Looks like the early stages of a magnesium deficiency so I have to do something about it. I had spotted some fan leaf stems turning purple earlier and I should have been more concerned then I guess.

Day 66 - 5/5/2020

Opps! I think I forgot to update my journal this morning. I thought I posted, maybe it didn't go through.. IDK. Smoking some homegrown fire, I don't even know the strain I'm trying to get the name, it's good. Anyways...

This morning I took the leftover nutrient mix, swirled it up and checked the pH and EC to verify it was still the same as yesterday and it was dead on the same. Watered half gal into the NL1 and the other half in the CG2. Well close to half each, I wet each of the others just a bit.

Day 67 - 5/6/2020

Little bit of changes today for the watering like I was thinking about. Added 2-0-0 CalMag first at a low dosage so huge changes aren't being made. Recommended dosage is 3-5 ml per gallon. For my 5 gallon nutrient mix I only added 10 ml total so less than half the recommended amount. Because of the extra nitrogen in the CalMag I backed off the Mega Crop by the slightest amount, just under the 2 full tsp. With the CalMag and Mega Crop added it was just under 1.2 EC. Added the 1 tsp Bud Explosion and came out to 1.55 EC. environment_5_6_2020.jpg


Hoping these turn into some huge stacked colas. You can see some of the stems that had started to purple.

Man! This lady has legs that go on for days. Flower sites on this stem go way deep into the canopy. That bud site on the right hand side that is way down low is the bottom end of this stem. I want to do another photo as lights go out, thought it looked awesome the other day.

That top flower site on CG1 is getting close to the LED, it's about 10 inches away but doesn't seem any worse for being that close.
