Orions’ Northern Lights

[OrionsCeiling]

Hey @miami5th I ordered that humidifier you told me about! Should be here Thursday. For now, I just drain and filled w/ more silica for the trunk. No damping off, just thought it would be a beneficial addition another time.

Did some leaf tucking since the last time I posted, and she’s bushed out! still rockin’ the damp towels and only 48% humidity

Also added a 1/2 dose of recharge because it can help with any deficiencies due to environment. I understand it’s granular but I had it on hand and it won’t damage my plant, added two days ago and she looks solid!

FYI: not planning on topping or doing any more than defoliating the bottom leaves and leaf tucking for now. No topping whatsoever. Gonna try and get her to level out the canopy with leaf tucking instead.

Cant wait for my humidifier Get this VPD where it needs to be so my Northern Lights can blast off!

Latest pic of the tent! 11 days after flip… defoliated some and now I’m hoping to watch these two beef up!

Looking good

Humidifier came in! Installing late tonight. I can’t wait to get off work!

[miami5th]

Awesome! Enjoy! It makes it so much easier to maintain a target humidity. The app for it on the phone is pretty good but make sure to end/close it while not in use (runs gps in the background for some reason)

[OrionsCeiling]

Thanks for that info! I hate apps that do that. Appreciate you mentioning it!

[OrionsCeiling]

So I won’t be installing tonight

The weather is too bad near me and I can’t drive to the house my Grobo is in

Tomorrow first thing

[OrionsCeiling]

She’s in! And I did a little bit of defoliation so she’s not crowded.
Looking good! Humidity is rising and they grow up so fast!

[miami5th]

@OrionsCeiling - Looking really good! The plant and humidifier look great!

[OrionsCeiling]

Thanks! The humidity is now 61% I’m so friggin happy w it thanks for the rec @miami5th. Much appreciated, I’ll def keep you posted on results. I just beat the stems up a little bit on the nodes to help them beef up. I cut the weaker ones off and pruned some.

Looks like a nice humidifier! I might get this. I’m battling low humidity ranges right now

[OrionsCeiling]

Cant recommend just yet but so far it’s really easy to use. Apparently it works on wifi through an app but I haven’t found it necessary nor do I know how to set that up just yet. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I got the same Humidifier from @miami5th 's recommendation…

it works great for my room the Grobo is in, I can get the humidity up to 60-70 range if I let it run long enough.

My room is about 24 feet by 15 feet with two openings, I close one of the doors to get a better result.

[OrionsCeiling]

That’s great! Mine gets up there too. It’s in a little 4x4 closet. I’m gonna move it tho bits right near a fireplace… way too much fluctuation

[pyromancy]

Seems like there’s some learning curve for everyone’s environment and then on top of that, seasons changing which affects everything too! I’m sure you’ll find a good home for the Grobo and continue learning more about how your space’s environment control can be dialed in

[miami5th]

Yeah that is a great humidifier! I hope it helps!

[OrionsCeiling]

The humidity seems to be mellowing the fluctuation actually. Which is ideal. And my lady looks happy! She’s really blasting off and I’m so psyched. She’ll reach the 2nd fan in no time, then I’ll transition.

[Fluffhead]

How’s she looking after defoliation and recovery? I just took a few off and did some tucking.

[OrionsCeiling]

Glad u asked @Fluffhead

taken during drain/fill

humidity got up there… turned it way down.
Glad I caught it. Getting a feel for my humidifier

Refilled 2.5Gal distilled H2O w/ 3mL Humboldt’s Tree Trunk silica and 5mL Orca Myco. The fungal growth from the recharge last drain/fill is alive and present all over my tubes… but my roots are NUTS!

And she’s drinking 1/3Gal/day

Will have more pics up later… gonna go for a walk with the pups!
