4x4 Auto Apple Fritter grow

[JIMKSI64]

Update.
Fed rear plant 1.4 liters and did not add nutes. This plant has not stopped the greening N look. Today at am check she was droopy and slight claw. Will check in pm and evaluate.
Watered both seedlings 500 ml at perimeter 6 inches around plant ( leaf spread)
Seedlings at 13k lux
Reduced humidity again by reducing one more degree on leaf offset. Again I do not measure the temp I use it to steer humidity.

Everybody up and looking around. Rear plant perky but green like Ork green.
Seedlings ok. Prolly should move larger plants over to the 400 watt unit
Prolly should.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Trained and moved larger plants under the 400 watt unit. Lights at 75% giving tops on larger at 33k and most at second level 28 k by positioning higher lux light to lower flower sites. I have 4 primary's 2 on each plant that I have to constantly manipulate those stems. Keeping those primary's under the lower level lights and always having an escape if one of them goes 7 inches in 2 days and you ain't watching. Buy doing this my guess is by 6pm today I will have 16 separate sites at 37k lux and the balance between 32-25k.
Seedlings at 14500
No water today. Environment steady at 77 degrees 59% rh vdp tracks1.1 with .08 variance for 30 hours UNTIL I MOVED STUFF.
But it will settle out LOL

Update.
Watered little plants 700 ml water. Watered big plants week one foop 1.4 liters pH adjusted to 6.3
Broke a stem during last last round. Holding together with fibers but pistles have not died. 3 bud nodes
Lights holding at 35k tops 15k lowers.
Moved humidity down 55% at 76 f about 1.2 vdp
Watching transition tonight have new script.

Update.
8 Am look everyone looking good. 35k tops sprouts at 15k. Light at 83% tucked a few.
Transition went perfect over a 2 hour period dropped from 76 to 70 VPD went down with temp winds up at 70 / 52%
Reverse takes 2 hours and in reverse. I let the light support the heat needs and the steady rise allows the vdp to track. Winds up at 77f and 55% RH

 

[JIMKSI64]

Moved light down ( 400 watt ) and reduced to 73% due to heat issue. Tops at 36k lowers at 22k . Seedlings 16k. Was creeping up to 78 degrees. Back down to 76 with .07 vdp swing.
The big light is a heat hog. Wow. But I do not think I am going to need the other units this run.

update
All plants decided to play nice and syncronized watering. Small plants 1 liter 18k at plant tops
Larger plants 1.7 liters foop at week 1 mix. tops at 40k lowers at 27k. 79% just the big 400 wattt unit.

Larger plants have pretty puff balls and starting to run down stems. Green on Big Greenie is not really fading. Next time I open soil conditioner and see all the damn EWC laying on top I will debag and mix it up. I will actually use my second set of plants to baseline the grow as I do not want to start each grow with " top dress with so much EWC it slows growth."
75-76 degrees 54% rh day.
69-70 night. 52% falling to 48% from midnite to 6 am.
I am allowing the tent to follow the 1 degree wave the house makes with the ac cycling. it slowely goes from 75-76 about 2 times an hour. the cloudforge is easily able to track the VDP and it gives me a .06 to .09 wave cycle on vdp.
In the am for the last 2 hours with ac off the temp and humidity traces were basically a strait line.

Update
Lights at 85% tops of larger plants 45k lux lowers 32k pot bottom 22k. Smaller plants 15k.
Following the ac wave for the house. Lung room goes from 69-67 degrees and 45% RH. This let's my light be the sole heat unit operating. Duct down to setting 3 and sweep fans and light fans ( all ) on setting 6. Nice wobble to the plants. Vdp .07 wave at 1.2 with offsets 54% Rh. Night transitions perfect with AC on.
Going to top dress the smaller plants today but going to use the OF I have and cut it 50-50 with seed starter and added perlite. Going to do this after next watering on little ones may be lights out tonight might be tomorrow am.
Pics later. Food coma.

At least I learned a lot about autos. Was too concerned with light strength. Bumped the lights up and misread the little guy readings. Big tops still at 45k but the little pots growth moved it up to 24k. And they love it.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Update.
Fed all plants. Larger ones 1.6 liters foop at week 1 and smaller ones 1 liter water.
Trained larger plants for just 2 directions. Pulled down and pushed up and have 11 tops at 45k lux and 12 others at 38K lux. Lowest buds just above pots at 18K.
Smaller plants moved closer to light and at 25k.
76 degrees 52% RH vdp wave .010
Last night transitions to 69 and 44% RH in 40 minutes and basically becomes a strait line. 69 to 76 1 hour and vdp goes from 1.18 to 1.3 .
Backfilled the smaller pots but used OF instead of the soil conditioner. If this goes well will do autos with OF and photos with the conditioner and perlite.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Update.
Well had to move plants around and get all 3 lights running. It seems that I greatly underestimated the ability of these autos to swallow light.
Rebalanced 400 watt unit to 67% and with some tugging and pulling I have 9 tops at 50k and balance of secondaries above 42k. Smaller panels at 25% minimum and early veg plants at 25K and may grow higher in 6 hours. After 8pm I opened tent and found just about every leaf upright and level.
Here is after moving. Right now seeing what the additional heat load is going to do to my scripting.
ACI has an adjustment feature that is supposed to cover this but as of yet I have not figured it out, mostly by not really trying.

everyone holding OK.
larger plants 49k smaller plants showed a little light stress so reduced them to 22k.
.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Update
Watered smaller plants 1.0 liter water each.
Larger plants 1.2 liters foop at week 2 strength.
Verified lights at 50k tops and 22k small tops.

Reduced pot watering amount as dryback took 4 days.

Will watch smaller pots. Watered through OF used as top dress.

update
Woke up at 2:30 am from humidity alert. Tent exceed 55%. As soon as I seen the alert I knew I had made yet another mistake.
3 of 4 drip pans had standing water adding to the humidity load. Lung room was at 47% in my specs.
So cleaning and resetting drip pans at 3am yaay.
But this led me to another discovery. my small early veg plants looked a little cooked. No light burn just a little stressed. Checked light meter and its about 25k at tops but those big fans sure catch the light. Sat down for a bit and remembered my last grow was at 65k at the end. I was running my big plants at 45k tops and coming along but when I did some comparative math for dli I found that 45k actually exceeds the DLI for ny foto grow. Not a lot but I had waited until week 5 flower for 65k not week 2
reset lights. tops at big plant at 40k and small plants 21k. Also with the size off my puff balls I am reducing humidity to under 50% and 45 at night.
