Day 65 - Stats & Notes

I've been lacking on notes because they seem to be in cruise control. Lately, it's been to check the stats and then occasionally feed 3 gallons of Nutes to the rez for the Blumats.

My VPD is flipping all around on the leaf part. The tent always seems to be pretty decent.

I'm not a "flush" person, so I am going to feed 100% to the end. Don't worry, I'll be the first to admit if the taste I get is underwhelming.

If they have dried out, they will get a brown water mix that I have posted about before.

Onward and upward we go ...

Day 67 - Count Down to Amber Trike Town

I can see some amber, but not as many cloudy. Still lots of clear trichomes.

Day 68 -- Notes and Stats


Added 3 gallons of nutrients. Stabilized the Mix at 6.2 pH & 1.99 EC.

Otherwise, all quiet on the western front.

Day 69 -- Trike Check

Day 71 (AM) — Notes

I mixed up 3 gallons of nutrients. It is the same recipe as before.

I also added in a light dose of:

• Humboldts Secret Plant Enzymes (expensive so I am trying the 2.0 ounce bottle)
• More Grow Bio-Cozyme (no active enzymes, but cheap)

Item of note: I did not account for the tiny amount of N-P-K in the Bio-Cozyme. So when I went to check the EC in the reservoir I was surprised to see the EC shot up to 2.5. I add RO water until I got it back down close to 2.0 EC.

I corrected pH until I got it to 6.21.

Day 74 (AM) - Trike Watch & Notes


Day 74 (AM) - Made a batch of nutrients that totaled 4 gallons. 3 gallons + 1 gallon RO water to lower EC.

Resevoir pH: 6.33 -- corrected to 6.22

Resevoir EC: 2.0 -- rose to 2.10

Day 75 (PM) -- Trike Watch & Notes

Today is Brown Water Day (not Bourbon). Meaning I gave each plant about 0.5 liters each of the following (see table). Mixed up 1 liter batch and split evenly:

Trikes ... some cloudy is starting to show, but then there is so much clear as well.

Day 74 & 75 -- Stats

Still all over the place with my VPD.

I think my problem is that I take an average of the Tent Temp, RH and Leaf Temp on an average for 12 hours (2 x a day).

But, I take the leaf temp right when I check it.

So, if it was cooler in the tent earlier, then the leaf temp that is taken in the moment offsets the temp differences improperly.



The Fix:

Take the numbers from the previous hour for my tent, RH and Leaf. That way the leaf temps will be better represented

I also think going back to 50% RH would solve some of the disparities.

Day 77 (AM) -- Trike Check

For these Trike Pics, I tried to pull most of the color out of where the trikes are. I think it gives a more realistic picture to judge cloudiness.
