Impressions about plant
I've had fun this week finally setting up my grow tent, ventilation and lighting. I still need to setup my smart watering system.
First, I switched from 51W of CFLs to LED at day 10.
I need more 5/6000K CFL bulbs for seedlings, these look wild https://www.amazon.com/Photography-Fluorescent-Daylight-Balanced-Temperature/dp/B01LZBEF12/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3R8LGK1AID2U0&keywords=150w%2Bcfl%2Blight%2Bbulb&qid=1663128123&s=electronics&sprefix=cfl%2B%2Celectronics%2C128&sr=1-1&th=1
I also played around with some DIY lighting rigs, mostly because I had a bunch of (too bright) LED bulbs lying around.
My main grow area is ready, I measured power consumption for just the lights at 428W. That is a lot of light for one plant...
Lessons for the week: I added some seedling nutrients to the water, but no nutrients for now. Keep temp at 77f max day/70f max night, 6 night hours = 100% dark, get water pH down to 6.0 (its at 7.22). Get humidify up to 60%, its at 40%. Need to experiment with a duty cycle for extractor to keep temps down but humidity up. I added a humidifier to help.
