The Indoorfarmer is up to his crazy ways!

[Theindoorfarmer]

Keeping the day temps at 25c and humidity between 60-65%
lights are at 50% and 18 inches away.
night temps are 22c and humidity 55-60%.
Leaf temps in daytime are around 25.1c
Using Photone for PPFD canopy level currently at 491 umol

Got 4 Clip fans inside but only 2 are active and they are located above the light hanging height and only the 2 on both ends at the first setting.

No air directly on the seedlings/start veg it’s just to circulate the damp air inside and help their stems a bit. They are on 24/7

Here is a side by side with an air pot vs a cell pod;

Both receiving same light and food but different watering as it is drying way slower and it shows In the growth difference. It’s not a clone, I know but still easier not to mess up with air pot or small fabric pot. Both blueberry seeds by Seedsman planted on the same time and day.

I'm Sold......now to find them on sale...they're just too expensive to get as many as I need...I guess i'll look around 4 - 3 gal would be nice...a couple 5 gal.....................................looks good

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

UPDATE! Just a little update here for temps. Brought down my autopilot to 24c instead of 25c. My reason behind this is that at this stage I don’t want too high leaf temps as all are still seedlings/starting veg. Usually it’s 2 degrees under room temp the leaf temp but I guess with my sensor being so close kept the leaf temp at room temp. Humidity still between 60-65%. Nothing serious hope I did not wake any of you up.

They are dam expensive it’s true :( especially if you got a bit plant count

Hey guys! So this morning went to the grow room and saw that they looked thirsty so we are on point with the watering (I think ) so 60ml every 2 days now seem to do the trick at this stage to water every 2 days.
here they are this morning, thirsty;

I prepared some R/O water and mixed in 10ml/L of Bio-worm(it’s a lazy, in a bottle tea) and 1/16 of a tsp of yucca. I prepare 1L so with the left over I use it as a foliar on all the girls.
So after giving them each their 60ml of the mix this is what they look like now;

And here is the Bio-worm;

Everything is looking good, will mostly water in 2 days. I decided to up the temps mid day from 24c to 25c and will bring back to 24c after 6hrs. RH still at 60-65% and the Mars Hydro is at 50% intensity sitting 16-17 inches away from canopy. See you guys at the next update! Peace!

Good morning! So this morning not doing much just admiring the girls. Environment still the same 24-25c with 60-65RH. I keep moving the light to keep 17-18 inches at 50% intensity so that the plant is not to stacked and not to stretchy. No use putting more watts at this time 150w is plenty and any higher will be additional unnecessary cost to your grow. Just keep the ppfd in check by raising or lowering your light. And also important is to adjust your environment so that you can water every 2-3 days so to humid can cause an issue of taking too long to dry and also to hot might dry too fast the medium, so finding balance is key. It’s seems that 5-10% of your pot in size in water should be a good estimate to start with. So right now my propagation pot are 0.3gal so I water from 50-100ml (5-10% of 0.3 gal) per watering starting at the low end of course. Sorry I always like to give too much info X) So here they are this morning, the runt is getting better was fussy at first but I was certain he might come out of it;

Will likely water tomorrow so will keep you guys updated on what I am doing. And by the way when I look at the PH of my water when adding either the kelp extract with molasses is 6.5 and sometimes 6.8 as I play with molasses to bring down a bit. Not much molasses needed in RO to adjust PH.
Have a great day guys and will update tomorrow. Cheers!

It looks like you have it dialed in....nice large green healthy leaves.....nice work

You are clinically precise and making some bodacious buds at the end.

Thanks buddy, really appreciate you tagging along!

Thanks for the comment! This is all new to me so hopefully the buds will be tasty . Thanks for tagging along also buddy!

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

Forgot, here is a pic of the medium and worm castings I will be using;

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

Alright I’m back! So went in the grow room this morning to water (RO/kelp extract “4ml/L”/ 1/16 tsp yucca/ Microbial mass(4ml/L)) When I mix, I add the microbes at the end and before I add it in, I keep some of the solution to foliar spray. Added 70ml this time to all of them except 2 (Blueberry) a bit smaller and drinking less, them they got 60ml. Then foliar spray all of them at lights on and I always water at that time also. So here they were this morning;

this is what I use to feed them slowly as watering a air pot can be tricky. I also use the mister for the foliar spray to just wet a bit the top soil before giving their water.

And here they are now;

Temps now at 25c 60-65%RH in the day, and 22c 55-60%RH at night. That is it pretty much for today, so will update soon! Cheers!

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

Hey guys! So started the day with a foliar (RO/kelp extract “4ml/L +Yucca”) then I decided who I will keep to grow as I only have a 4x6 of space I rather only have 6. So we are gonna grow 1x liberty haze from Barney’s farm, 2x biscotti mintz from Barney’s farm, 2x Jack Herer from Seedsman and 1 blueberry also from Seedsman. So here they were this morning;

then I proceeded to top all of them at the 3rd node;

then brought back the tops to look at them under the normal light;

they will soon be out of food, I would guess the next big step will be transplanting to 2 gal air pots. Tomorrow is recharge day so will keep you guys updated! Peace!

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

Hey guys! So today we started with some (RO/ 1/4 tsp of recharge and 1/16 of yucca) also did a foliar with the leftover mix and here they were at 4:15am ;

and here they are again later in the day;

they don’t seem to be sad about the topping and enjoying the Mars hydro light at 150w pulled from the wall. (50%dimmed) and around 16-17 inches from canopy. Temps same at 24-25 Celsius and 60-65% RH. I can start to see some signs of hunger on the lower leaves;

so I will be transplanting mostly this weekend and will keep you guys updated on how that goes. That’s it for today folks will see you guy’s tomorrow!
Cya!

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

Hey hey! Good day everyone! So change of plan I decided to transplant today. So I got the flood tray out of the tent and got it ready for the girls to go under the Grower’s Choice ROI 680 for some veg time to fill this canopy. I could not stand seeing them hungry so here we go. Got all out of the tent to clean and transplant into 2.4 gal air pots;

then cleaned the tent”I am a clean freak, I have a cleaning schedule for this room and no one gets in here but me lol”

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

Now we transplant. It’s pretty basic, but I like to post s&$t lol. So here we go;
First I mix the soil with Gaia green living soil , 25% worm castings added to medium and All purpose 4-4-4 added at 3 tbsp/ gallon of medium. Inoculated the soil with mycorrhizae and then voilà. Oh y’a i sprayed the medium a bit with my sprayer with a mix of RO water and kelp extract at 4ml/L+yucca. I did this until I could take the medium in my hand and clump it in a ball and that it would stay together a bit without being soaked and dripping. This will promote even watering in the medium and prevent dry spots.

I am the same exact way...Very "anal" about keeping my grow spaces clean, disinfected etc...No pets allowed, no strange people allowed. The garden is my indoor "Zen Room" and since it is growing my medicine (and 2 others) it demands cleanliness. ;) In-between each grow/crop we take the tent and clean and disinfect from the top down and sterilize before we grow a new crop. Thankfully so far, we have had nothing more "bad" than some Fungus Gnats which basically hitch along with all living soils. Hence we all love our yellow sticky traps.
Warmly,
Jackie
