Following issues with my previous grow, I decided to try my next grow with a free seed I got with my purchase, instead of the paid for seeds.

Equipment

I have made a few changes to my set-up.

Gone are these

I have now installed a 9 meter, 80W reptile heat belt

And a Meross Smart Hydrometer/Thermometer that interfaces with my Meross Smart plugs

This Hydrometer/Thermometer will now switch on my Dehumidifier when Humidity gets too high, and heat belt when Temperature gets too low, with levels easily adjusted in the App.

I have also added a WiFi Security Camera, that is connected to my PC using iSpy software, where I have set up to take a photo/frame grab every 3.5 minutes (210 seconds) for creating Time-lapse videos.

The rest of the set-up remains as my previous grow ended:-

Tech-Garden Grow Tent - 50 cm x 50 cm x 100 cm
AC Infinity Cloudline S4 Extractor Fan
Rhino Hobby 100 mm x 300 mm Carbon Filter (outside the tent due to space issues)
Spider Farmer SF1000 Grow Light
Mini Tower Fan
2 x 120 mm USB fans for air circulation above area where Mini Tower Fan operates
Mini Dehumidifier
2 x 3D-printed Silica Gel holders (with Silica Gel inside obviously) within the passive intakes.
VegTrug Bluetooth 4 in 1 Soil and Light monitor

On to the Grow

3 Gallon Fabric pot
BioBizz Lightmix soil - Amended with Mycortrex and Startrex soil conditioner from the BioTabs range, and extra Perlite.

Set Humidity/Temperature controls for 70%RH and 22C.

Day -7

Added seed to a small dish of water with Grow Light off.

Day -5

Taproot showing, so watered soil with 4 litres of water mixed with 20 ml Orgatrex and 4 grams of Bactrex from the BioTabs range.
Added Mycortrex to planting hole and planted seed 1.5 cm deep.
Switched on Grow Light at 60% power. Set on/off times to 6am and 12am respectively (18 hours).

Day 0
She has sprouted with her husky hat

Time-Lapse of week 0 on The WeedTube

Time-Lapse videos will be released weekly, and I will try to update this log every few days.


The Weed Tube is now closed. I have now uploaded a Supercut (complete Time-Lapse video) to my YouTube channel - DaveR1974 Grows.

Gave 2 litres of water. Her hat came off.

Day 02

She's looking a bit leggy, so changed light intensity to 70%

Day 03

Changed light intensity to 80%

When she is ready for next watering, I will add more Lightmix to compensate for her "legginess"

Day 12

Day 13

She's a thirsty girl. I'm needing to give her between 1 and 2 litres every 2 to 3 days at the moment. Today she got 1 litre.

Day 14

I'm needing to move the camera further back each day to fit her in, as she is vegging very nicely. There is a grey spot on 1 of her fan leaves, indicating a possible nutrient deficiency, which considering her fast growth, I am not surprised about. She is due her first BioTab tomorrow.

Day 15

Time for the first BioTab, along with 2 litres of water, mixed with 10 ml of Orgatrex and 2 grams of Bactrex.

Day 16

Now that she is fully in vegetative stage, changed setting in the Meross App for the dehumidifier to 60%.

Day 17

Gave 1 litre of water.

Day 18

Gave another litre of water as she's still drinking a lot.
Grow 02 Day 18.JPG

Day 19

Soil monitor shows she is still a healthy drinker, but I can go another day without watering. Tested an LST hook that I 3D printed (Thingiverse). As I will be away for a few days, I will wait until I am back to start, as I do not want her bent over in 1 direction for more than 1 day at a time. I will also give her a good watering before I leave.
Changed camera from the Macro lens on my new phone (as she is now too large for Macro) to my compact camera. I tried the main camera (48MP) on the phone, but the file size is too large for this site.
