New Grower Garden of the Hesperides: II

[WildBill]

I was thinking the same thing but, according to VPD charts I'm smack dab in the green. I "feel" like it should be lower but all the science says no. Not sure which way to go with it. I did drop the calibration a couple points to start getting it more towards 65% out of caution.

Both of these say I'm in good range:

Your VPD is 0.70kPa
You're in early to mid flower/ You're less than what is optimal for veg. I would shoot for a minimum of 1.2kPa

Dude, just FYI....I start adding bloom nutes at around day 30-ish...

Thanks guy, I had not seen the pulse calculator before. Was just kinda eyeballing the charts. Looks like I'll be making some adjustments.

Day 50: Start of week 8

Sorry about the lack of updates! Been a bit busy and I've lost my post-its from what I did the last few days. So starting up again today!

Additions:

2L distilledwater
398 ppm
6.2ph
Added a few drops of sensi grow A/B and then ~0.3 of bloom A/B
ph adjusted back up to 6.2

Adjusted the environment: Temps still high 70's but brought the rh down. Running between 58-62% depending on the exhaust fan.

Pics: The older leaves are all limey still. I guess that's probably not going to get fixed. However, some small new buds and leaves waaaay down at the base have grown in a nice green color. So, my current tack with feeding and watering must be good or those would look bad as well.

5 tall main guys.

These two guys way down at the bottom have come in with normal looking leaves. Guess I'm doing it right?

And a close up:

The overhead: None of the middle are as big as the outside guys but still filling in.

Looking great brother!! Why such a low PPM value if I might ask? Isn't it the time to start feeding them so they bulk up on those buds? Or am I mistaken?
Still learning yo

I believe both @Proph and @Mañ'O'Green recommended not going over 450ppm. Going to search again and make sure I'm not mistaken. I'll try and move right up to 450 the next couple feeds. Adding enough ph up to distilled water raises the ppm a lot so I've been trying to find the right spot to stop with the nutes and leave space to stay under target. The AN sensi ph perfect brings the ph way down and holds it hard.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to remember that

They do look a bit hungry?

Day 57: Start of week 9

Yesterday added 2L of distilled water with another dose of Miicrobial Mass.
Mixed in molasses in the water to feed the microbes I just put in.
AN Sensi Bloom nutes, (0.6A/0.6B) at 550ppm and ph up to 6.5

Tonight: 1.4L tap water ph 6.4 - just a drip from the bottom. I sit my water out for at least 24hrs and add a pinch of ascorbic acid to help drop the chloramines.

Nothing much changed sizewise, however, some leaves have started taking on a nice purple color:
