If I get a herm due to a little stress then I’m culling it anyway. Don’t have time for weakness with my limited grow space. That’s just my hot take. I started playing with a 3/1 light cycle recently for max photosynthesis on an auto recently and so far it’s loving it. I may move my whole veg to that eventually. And again if anything herms it’s gotta go!

That soil or whatever you’re using looks super dense. Like Home Depot soil that’s half bark. Might be a little rough for a lil seedling.

[m1ghtym0u3e]

My girls don’t mind it one bit.

Do a YouTube search for self burping buckets. That’s all you really need. I adapted the same idea for mason jars with an air pump and a timer.

Ps keep an eye on your PH check it daily if needed.

[m1ghtym0u3e]

Yes depending on what stage of growth and how large your reservoir is. They may not move allot. With that low of ec I’m assuming your pretty early on. And it’s a slow gradual thing. Even with large roots and fully mature plants you may only see a slight shift in PPM. 50-100.

Another case of good gear ain’t cheap and cheap gear ain’t good. Use drops or get a ph20 or similar. If your in soil then maybe it’s not a big deal but in coco or hydro if any sort a few points can ruin your day. Also Vivosun is rebranded crap and their customer service is worse.

By the time I add in perlite etc I usually get 2/3 of a 5 gal bucket out of each of the four squares that comes in a 40L pack of canna. Each square also absorbs a lil less than a gallon. I generally will add at the very least some cal mag to that water I use to hydrate. My pots are 0.9gal and one square fills 3-4 of them.

Also @bloomerfarms some BTI or mosquito bits either topped dressed or with a tea and even sprayed directly on the leaves can suppress pressure from most types of flies and offers a safe and organic way of doing it.

[m1ghtym0u3e]

I agree with this fully. I have so many amazing plants that looked funky early on. It’s not even something I worry about that much anymore.

Bluetooth temp/humidity sensor. Mainly because I have a heat mat and want to know if it gets too hot. I also have them in my tents so I can cross reference with my other sensors. Btw on that note always calibrate your hygrometers they can be off by as much as 7-8% out of the box. My AC infinity sensors especially were super far off.

[m1ghtym0u3e]

Ah ok I was gonna say looks can be deceiving. Consider using a clear solo cup to give it a little protection from direct wind while still boosting humidity and allowing some air exchange.

some people will use a cut half of a water bottle or a ziplock even. I like to slowly open things up using a couple different cups personally. Then I sterilize and reuse.

Leaf curing is such a broad thing

[m1ghtym0u3e]

Commercial facilities regularly turn down CO2 at lights off and we humans certainly do handle varying conditions. So that’s just wrong across the board.

I completely disagree with all of that. Mold can come in with a gust of wind. Pests can track on your shoes. We’re not apes we have science and tools. A light IPM routine can save you allot of wasted time and money in the long run also not everyone has the most ideal environment in fact I would say more common than not people use what space they have available.
