I started up a new account a little while ago. I just wasn't paying attention to my bandwidth usage(witch I will now pay attention to). I seem to have a lot more views then reply's no doubt though.:giggle You're too popular... Time to start a new photobucket account...
Table 1 shows the VPD in millibars at various air temperatures and relative humidity. Most cultivated plants grow well at VPDs between 8 and 10, so this is the green shaded area. Please not that the ideal VPD range varies for different types of plants and the stage of growth. The blue shaded are on the right indicated humidification is needed where the pink shaded are on the left indicated dehumidification is needed.

Thanks shady! Ya i won't lie that malfunction annoyed me quite a bit when it happened. I at somewhat of a standstill in the meter choices. Your 98129 would not be a bad choice at all especially considering that you've had it for quite a bit and it seems to be pretty damn reliable. If I may ask how often does your meter require calibration? And when it does would you say it drifts away quite a bit or does it still stay within a generally acceptable PH range compared to the calibration solution?Excellent photos justiceman! And despite the meter malfunction, your girls look spectacular... BTW, Hanna 98129 FTW!!! :rock
Right on man thanks! Ya I ran into a bit of an N problem with the Chems and slightly with the head band but they still have a decent green shade to them. I upped the N a bit so hopefully they should fill out without any problems.looking awesome bro the outdoor plants gonna be nice producers the inside are healthy and deep green i like it
Justiceman. I ran across your thread while researching green crack.
(Was trying to find some info on stretch and flowering days, your weekly pics helps to see the stretch k+)
Just read your grow diary from start to finish and it has been excellent. The documenting, pics and sharing of info is very thorough.
The way you document and learn and continue to experiment is awesome to watch and read. Thanks for sharing.
The plants look excellent. I also like to check out the roots after harvest. Also breaking up the ball and checking the root mass.
Looking at your root shots.(in the coco)
Not sure if you were watering everyday or not with the coco. coco needs to stay moist, so if it dries out (like soil can do) One reason roots can get brown. Another reason is humics will also stain them. But it looks more like they got dry.
I am planning on trying the sea minerals as well next run. Look like it is worth a shot.
Got some green crack rooting and in veg. Hope I did not veg em too big. 30-32" going to transplant em and flip asap.
how did the meds turn out from the roots run?
You feel you got a nice taste yet better yield with the organic + synthetic combo?
When I was trying to view the green crack pics, your bandwidth was exceeded, and I ventured over to your photobucket account and found the vpd chart and then this thread. lol, a positive effect of you exceeding your bandwidth :)
Excellent chart. Glad to see more info on vpd.
More detailed than the one I got.
Mind sharing where you got the info/chart from? A book?
Looks like some good info, like to see what else is out there.
I am all about learning all I can, vpd is critical for optimizing your space.
Thanks for sharing and taking the time to document everything.
hmmm. The only reason I can think of is that mine are located in a place that gets more shade then yours(yours get more sun). Are all of your plants vegging still, or are some of them flowering?alot of my outdoor isnt flwering including my headband huh? i wonder why yours is and mine isnt
I calibrate my meter every two months, but I should do it monthly. If I don't use my meter for a week, then I use storage maintenance solution in the cap. Otherwise, I haven't had any major drifts as I always rinse the probes under tap water after each use and I use it daily or every other day... :thinkingThanks shady!

Yo man thanks for checking out my whole journal! I'm glad you enjoyed it as that's basically the reason I put up this journal in the first place. I try to record and provide a decent amount of information about my grow but sometimes I feel that I fall short of what I should be writing. So If I left anything out or if anyone has any questions I would be more then willing to answer them.
Checking out the roots after harvest is a must in my opinion. I think it gives great clues as to the history of the roots and it gives a general idea of the plants health no doubt. As for my coco root shots I definitely didn't water them every day. It was something more like once every 2-3 days. Thanks for input about root shots. It helps me to piece together things I didn't think of. Interesting so humics tend to stain roots? I can say that I used Humega every watering, but I am also starting to think they may have gotten to dry on the outside.
I like the sea mineral idea because it is supposed to contain all the nececcary trace minerlals and if I'm not mistaken the correct mineral balance greatly improves taste and aroma.
I will say that the roots run definitely had a bit more aroma to it but the strains were different for each run. Resin output was about the same. I will say I got more yield with the organic + synthetic combo but I also increased my plant count by 3 so as you can see some variables certainly exist. Overall though I like Soul synthetics, but I personally like Roots Organics better. I'm going to try out their master program sometime.
I got that VPD info from my Urban Garden magazine, but I actually just found this link to the article. Vapor Pressure Deficit.
Hmm that seems like some solid calibration right their. That Hanna obviously boasts quality.I calibrate my meter every two months, but I should do it monthly. If I don't use my meter for a week, then I use storage maintenance solution in the cap. Otherwise, I haven't had any major drifts as I always rinse the probes under tap water after each use and I use it daily or every other day... :thinking
Thanks for the tip mike. I actually like to keep 4.01 buffer solution or electrode storage solution in my pen cap as I hear keeping it in pure water or tap will mess up the calibration or something to that affect.if you keep water in cap you wont need to calibrate as often
Right on for the feedback and coco hints man! I agree your probably right about the outer roots dieing from a lack of water. Those hints will help out as I just transplanted a bunch of girls into pure coco.Your Welcome, it is a good read. Thanks for the response and link to the original article.
yes, humic can stain the roots. I do notice the staining more so in dwc or rockwool)
But your pics look more like it got too dry and maybe some outer roots died.
With coco watering the time between being too moist and and drying out is critical. Soil can let dry out and you got some time before dropping.
When that happens with coco your too late.
In my experience, roots coco need to be watered frequently or it will dry out. (more frequently than I could keep up by hand)
I prefer 1 part canna coco to 2 parts roots coco. That way I get higher performance than 100% coco and that way the coco does not dry out too quickly.
If I wait too long to water with coco then roots start dying and/or lockouts can happen.
I also find with coco, as more root mass takes over the container, watering frequency needs to increase.
Hope the grow is going well.
Sup Justice! Haven't been through here in a minute. I wish I had some chicas outside man, f*ckn lucky! Really though, they're looking hella healthy and those colas are going to be FAT! peace cutthroat.

Thanks shady! I've been working pretty hard to try and keep all the ladies happy. Sometimes their demands weigh heavily.Fucking fantastic skillz brah!!! Both inside and outside, those girls all look happy and ready to pump some serious resin... :cool
Nice mayn! Big harvest coming up! lots of trimming lol
