Yo dude back, do you use any foliar sprays? I see all the stems exposed to light, just curious if you spray them with Kelp Meal or compost tea or anything like that? Archie asked if you were following VPD, but it sounded like you weren't. How much water do you use weekly roughly, in liters or gallons or whatever I can do the math, mixing your DP lineup? I'm only curious because I used to NOT follow VPD or know about it and I used A LOT of water. I like mixing it and taking PH readings and so on, but it is time consuming and wasteful somewhat. Anyhow, now that I use water only soil, which isn't always an option for everyone, my waters has gone down drastically since I foliar feed and keep my RH within VPD parameters, they basically get enough from the air being slightly humid to alleviate the need for so much water and nutes. Just a thought. You said you don't follow through but with growing weed, so you should look into that.

...yeah, my tent is open 24/7 dude so VPD isn't an option for me, I have looked into it already and I know I don't have enough extraction power to keep in the VPD properly......I tried it last year I think(?)....even got a timed release Co2 gizmo and a water mister - humidifier....it all jangled my head dude lol......when I started this thread, I have gone back to simple processes and i'm getting the same results...so I don't bother...I use 4 litres of water for 2 plants....feeding all four only every other day at the moment..(Max 44ltrs if you start the week on a four feed day!)...and I don't foliar feed dude, I don't want to burn the leaves as my light CMH is 20" above:smiley1: ....also like you, I don't mind mixing my nutes and testing Ph and such....this also gives me the opportunity to record my results and post on here for the benefit of the community....I'm trying to document my steps as thoroughly as I can:smiley1:.

See, that's awesome. Following through on growing weed, hell yeah! :pass:And documenting it for like minded individuals to enjoy and learn from is a good thing too.

.....dude :toke:...I was reading thru your comments and I remembered you asked about the water amounts I use......I'm curious how much water/nutes I could save if I stuck to the VPD?:smiley1:
 
I only water like every four days, every other watering or once per week they get .25ml of fish emulsion per half gallon, and I use 16oz of distilled water per foliar spraying, per nutrient product. That's 1.75 qts per week for Kraken (daily) and .5-1 qt per week for Bloom Khaos (2x per week). Though now that I think more you will use the water you didn't use for watering in the humidifier, but you will save time and money on nutrients.

how big is your tent dude? please:smiley1:
 
...my tent floor is only 75cm x 75cm x 200cm....or 29.5" x 29.5" x 78.7" dude...so I really thought VPD wasn't massively important to me:smiley1:
