Conditions have been steady thus far with the temps and humidity holding steady. The light at a slow rate of increase, and the VPD hovering consistently at 1.4 to 1.5.
While the light intensity slowly increases daily, during stretch the light fixture will remain at a distance of 24-18 inches from the canopy throughout the grow cycle to help keep stretch at a minimum.
Stretch is in high :smoking:gear. I'll be tucking leaves for the duration until the stretch has ended. Star Krunch (left) is exploding into a bush at a quick pace , while Star Spangled Banner III seems to be a tad bit slower. This week I've introduced NPK Industries Full Up to the watering schedule at 1/16 the recommended dose to help encourage and stabilize consistent nutrient uptake. They are asking for water at a pace of every other day at this point, but seem to be doing so at an ever increasing rate. Very soon they'll need watered daily. PPFD is set to be on the increase at a rate of 4% daily now, and at the moment stands at around 355.
Day 34
The ladies are climbing at a rate of about 2-3 inches per day, and have widened to about 28 inches at the leaf tips. Flowering has begun, and to see how far I can push their limits I began showering them with 780 PPFD about 2 days prior. They've seemed to have taken it very well and continue to climb regardless. I ammended the soil the same day with the exact measurements as before, and now they're demanding water daily in which I have now incorporated NPK Industries Silica along with Full Up at 1/8 the recommended dosage. They've also received their first foliar with a half dose of NPK-I Kelp, and 1/8 recommended dosage of Full Up at the beginning of the week. They will receive one more foliar next as well.
