got my temp controller hooked up, bought a little heater and mounted a shelf for it to sit on. Its been super cold in my closet this winter and temps are fluctuating too much, down to 51° at one point so this should take care of my issue. set the heat to go on at 65° and off at 72°FView attachment 4290852 View attachment 4290853

i thought so too, a bag of fox farm soil alone would have been almost 35 bucks.

Over $50.00 here.

Really? Dam! thats highway robbery! lol

What i thought too. It wasnt available locally, had to be trucked from three counties south of here. Shipping must be a bitch.

kinda pricey but i got a discount code from Cali-green (youtube grower) and picked it up for $189. i know its a little overkill for a closet grow but im loving it and ill use it in my future grows.

trying out this little 19w led in the veg room.

the girl scout cookies are filling out good now. Ive been alternating my watering mix between an urb/seaweed mix and a molasses/seaweed mix every day. Increased my watering to 1.5 liters each without runoff. In the next couple weeks ill experiment with 2 liter waterings.

i love finding these little visitors like this at kushdaddys farm! lol seems like every couple days now one sprouts up and then wilts and dies. This is the first ive seen with a flat cap.

I've been waiting for your update! Canopy and plants look amazing man. Careful with the molasses though. Cheers!

ive actually been switching between raw molasses and soul infinity, its got molasses in it as well as some other good stuff like yucca.

i see why its called pulse, its like watching the heartbeat of your plants! ive been learning about vapor pressure deficit (vdp). Its literally like seeing how much water your leaves are transpiring.when vdp is high and the lights are on the girls are drinking up the water like a soda straw, and lower humidity lets it straight out the stomata.

neat! one thing i've never really dialed in properly is my vpd, due to having a non sealed grow environment. i should probably work on that.

its really tricky! the slightest temperature or humidity swing and the vdp goes crazy lol

so the VPD value readout that it gives you, what value are you looking for ideally?

LOOKING GOOD!

And wow, that Pulse thing is cool as hell.

so the VPD value readout that it gives you, what value are you looking for ideally?

ideally i want the vdp to be on low end around 1.2 to 1.4 max,but when the lights go on the air dries out and vdp climbs to 1.8 -2.0. Its not a bad thing id say, but higher vdp will cause more transpiration and accordingly more water uptake.
