Photoperiod Photoperiod Summer 2020

All of the girls have been germinated and transplanted now. They get their first night period starting with their schedule today. This is what is the day/night schedule with the water schedule in minutes on looks like.

Yellow = lights ON
There are 8 water on times in each Lights ON period. This gets adjusted as the plants grow to keep ~20% run-off by the end of each Lights ON period.

The first three girls to be transplanted will get their first fertigation starting when the lights come on tonight. I will snap some picture when they start their day.

The girls with the drip attached will get their first fertigation since transplant.

I turned the lights down to <50w to simulate a cloudy day to lower the leaf temperature to ~ 76°F. Then applied the foliar application of yucca, fulvic acid and kelp to break the apical dominance and make bushier plants.

I went ahead and applied it to all of the plants even though a couple are still on the small side. We will see how it effects them.

Does the lower temperature improve how much can be absorbed?

Does the lower temperature improve how much can be absorbed?

Yes, the stomata begin to close with a leaf temperature over 80°F. So it is taken in better below that. They also close below ~65°F. The other thing is full power lights can burn leaves with a lensing effect think magnifying glass. The stomata breath gasses and take in nutrients!

Do you pH in the 3.5-4.5 as well?

Do you pH in the 3.5-4.5 as well?

No I PH to 5.8. that is acidic enough for kelp and fulvic acid.

Took some pictures today. It is really hot here right now 112.1°F in my back yard. 88°F in the grow space. All of these tropical strains should have no problem with theses temps.

Hehe, I've found you over here. Why no tag?
Just kidding.

@Ribbzzy has a couple of tropical Panamas going right now, too.
Says he's getting straight lemon aromas out of one of them, well into flower.
