Buds starting to move now.

51 days down. Some very minor yellowing and burnt tips on some older leaves. Not sure if it's been the excess drybacks due to the small pots (10L) or just getting some minor lockout.

Not a bad effort from a cheap bagged potting mix and daily waterings though. Will be hitting close to 105f in the tent today and tomorrow so it'll be interesting to see if they burnt tips and slight yellowing progresses with the increased metabolic environment.

Let me ask a question. Why the levels? Have you seen a difference if level vs. not?

I don't feed, measure anything really or control any environment but be fucked if I'm Gunna have me light all over the place haha. Just a weird OCD thing. I'm okay with having the worst, unchecked parameters everywhere else for some reason.

But jokes aside, the amount of times I've been to people's houses and their light is like at a 15° angle for no reason, one plants getting like 100umol/s less than the other and my OCD trips. Especially when they obsess with every other parameter and have to write shit down about their grow every day.

Actually, now that I think about it, I find it strange that people have to write all this stuff down about their plants and parameters full stop. Like I just put water in the pot every morning and move on haha. Have never tracked a single thing bar the level of the light. Maybe it makes me feel like I actually do something for my plants bar watering haha.

I'm a strange man.

I don't either other than light. Although I did do a basic ph test with vinegar and baking soda but not much else. I extrapolate the ppm but have never tested it. But I'm not trying to be an indoor grower either so...c'est la vie.
