Often, marijuana growers who have their plants in indoor grow tents or rooms with artificial lighting, take into account parameters such as temperature and relative humidity to maximize plants growth and bloom, thus obtaining abundant harvest with top quality flowers. As we will see later, these factors affect different processes of the plant, such as transpiration or nutrient uptake. However, we usually forget about another important factor that is related to the aforementioned ones: vapor pressure deficit or VPD. Broadly speaking, VPD is the difference between the amount of water vapor that the atmosphere is able to retain (which depends on temperature) and the amount of water vapor contained in it (relative humidity). It is usually measured in kilopascals (kPa). Providing our plants with a correct relationship between temperature and relative moisture will keep us on the right VPD parameters, increasing the plant’s activity and thus improving its growth and showing its full potential during the flowering phase. The ideal would be to adjust both parameters (temperature and humidity) to get the best possible VPD value, so that the development of plants will be amazing.In the chart above you can see the right temperature and moisture values to maximize the development of cannabis plants. The green zone shows you optimal values of VPD, in which it would be ideal to maintain the environment. The orange zone shows correct values, in which plants should not have problems to develop normally. However, red areas show values in which your plants will be very far from hit their full potential, since the relation between temperature and moisture is not optimal. With relatively high values of VPD (between 5 and 12) plants tend to open their stomata and release a considerable amount of water vapor into the environment (increasing their transpiration). This increase in transpiration results in an increase in the plant’s photosynthetic activity, which will need more nutrients and will improve its overall growth, both during growth and bloom. The best range is between 7.5 and 10.5, which we have marked in green. However, we must be careful that VPD is not too high (dark red zone) since the plant would close its stomata to avoid releasing too much water vapor to the environment, which would result in fast dehydration due to excessive transpiration. On the other hand, if VPD is too low (light red zone), the plant will also close its stomata for not releasing more water into the atmosphere, which in this case would be already saturated (it would have reached the maximum water retention capacity in a specific temperature). In this way, reducing transpiration will also reduce photosynthesis, which has a direct impact on the plant’s development and yield. That way, VPD is essential when it comes to offer the best conditions for the development of plants, also to understand its water requirements according to the nutrients used and thus adjust them correctly to meet the grower’s expectations. N/B: SAY NO TO DRUGS -[Day 90] The plants are getting massive, not a lot of space left in the room, each pictures are token back against the wall or on top of a chair. The Super Skunk shall be ready first , the trichomes are visible without using a microscope, the scent is like an amazing candy floss coated with Skunk pee 😅Boerejongens quality @Home 😊 -[Day 93] Switching Buld Lumatek 90000 Lumens 1000PAR to SuperPlant Super Red 85000 Lumens 2000K 1498nm Lightening under the 1500nm wavelength (2000K) just between the NIR and the Microwave length, can't stand in the room too long without getting tears and shining eyes. Buds shall start to blowup like pineapples, increasing yield. -[Day 98] Everything is getting frosty. Starting to decrease RH . -[Day 103] Today the Y Griega started to push on her terpenes, believe it or not that plant smell stronger than the 6 giants Skunks (the Skunk strain is already a very strong smelling plant), she smell like a coffeeshop front door, the fragrance is absolutely amazing and fantastic, I will definitely grow a full crop of that strain ! -[Day 105] 42 days of Blooming folks ! It's getting serious now 😄 If it can helps you to realize, each plants gots 4 side and a middle, each sides gots 4-6 buds and there's 5-6 buds in the middle, there's 11 plants of 1,60m/5.25ft, how many buds does it makes ?? The correct answer will win 1 like 😅😂😅😂 -[Day 106] WEEK 7 of flowering, the end is close my friends, I'm trying to give you the best shots as possible, I wish I'd could share a good smoke from this crop with you guys ....😉 -[Day 113] WEEK 8 starting, every beginning has an end, this is where the Fall is gonna start. -[Day 115] LADY'S AND GENTLEMEN !!! In the Indica's category the winner is .... ruuuuummmmmbbbbbllllleeee ..... VANILLA KUSH !!!!!! I've seriously tough the Super Skunks will be ready first, but Vanilla Kush has shown milky tric's after 52 days of Blooming, waiting for some few ambers tric's before starting the Flush. -[Day 121] Hopefully for me I didn't trust in breeders flowering periods I would have f*ck up the crop ... Plants are fading slowly and naturally, I won't need to flush. Checking the trichomes every 4 days, the crop will probably need another 2-3 weeks. All plants are running on water now till the end. Buds are ripening, the smell has turn into a kind of roasted coffee beans with Skunk pee and cotton candy. -[Day 122] Milky tric's spotted on Blueberry after 59 days of blooming -[Day 123] 60 Days of blooming, gonna flush them all

Nicole kush ya es conocida dentro de mi carpa y en todo el mundo. una planta muy vigorosa, su aroma dulce y cítrico deleita incluso a los que no entienden el cannabis. Su sabor denso y refrescante queda grabado en la mente del experimentador. Una hermosa y transformadora planta con flores. Tendré esta joya en mi jardín en otras ocasiones.

Lots of nutrients burn. I think it's okay now but I stress the word 'think'. The brown spots on the edges of the leaves seemed to have abated. All coming on nicely though. Autopot working wonders. The plant seems to be getting through 1.5 litres a day.

Overview of the whole grow so far.. everything is looking healthy no signs of mold pest resistance is there with the help of the dragonflies and natural ladybugs and other predators in the garden including garter snakes.. the snakes just coil around the trunk of the trees.. Everyday the odor of the garden grows stronger skunky and sweeter.. Cinderella 99 has the strongest odor and most fragrant buds, followed by the Purple Haze, then the Strawberry Cough then the Afghan hash plant and then DJ Short Blueberry but to be fair the blueberry and the Afghan we're late bloomers as we all know

I guess due to the colder weather, she really starts to express her color and it's so amazing! I can't believe how beautiful this outdoor automatic is and how fast the colors are changing. As you can see from the photo, the buds are getting a bit heavy, so I tied them back in place. You might also see that one of the side branches, which broke during the storm, starts to let their leaves hanging. I moistened the point where the stem broke and see how she will do tomorrow. If it get's more dry, than I'm hanging it in the bathroom (which doesn't get used atm if you're wondering) Anyways I'll trim off the leaves with no trichomes on it and give her the very last week before harvesting on Monday.

04/26/2026 Readings before water swap. pH: 5.6 EC: 1450 cm TDS: 1050 ppm Temp: 71.3° So I'm going to start flushing today. She has a whole lotta nutrients left in those leaves and buds. So what I'm doing now is fill and drain. In my case pump and pump. I mix my nutes in a 5 gallon bucket. Then use another bucket to drain the DWC reservoir. Do it twice and then the last time with flawless finish. Again! Something happened to my yesterday entry. 04/28/2026 Readings: pH: 6.58 EC: 499 cm TDS: 351 ppm Temp: 66.7° Will be pHed today. It's too high. Anyway, she looks really odd with all of her branches just falling down. All around and the main top and some select branches are left standing up. She has issues everywhere from clawing to tacoing spots and burned tips or whatever else is wrong. So she's getting her week of flushing. I haven't noticed anything yet. But maybe it's because theight is too close to the top. Speaking of, does just the top getting too much light stress the whole plant out? Or is it just the top? I honestly hope my plant isn't waterlogged. I wonder what causes that. Because when I hung the plant up, the branch I was going to use legit sqweeshed on me. Like it was soaking wet. And when I take leaves off, the break pours out water. Never seen that before. Just a new thing. The environment looks really good Now it's working. 04/30/2026 Readings: pH: 6.7 EC: 521 cm TDS: 371 ppm Temp: 66.2° 05/01/2026 Well, I say she's done. I have her in the dark for the next couple of days, then I'll harvest. That'll give me enough time for the bucket to empty out and by the time it's ready, the bucket should be nearly dry. Actually, I wonder if that'll happen. I topped her off yesterday, so she should be fine for the next 3 days. I'm gonna check the water one last time before she's in the dark for 3 days. I dunno. I think she's ready now. I'll also get a trichome video to make sure. No top off just this one last trichome video and harvest will be in 3 days. Or sooner. I took a trichome video this morning. It's not very good. But you can see the abundance of cloudy and in some spots, amber. Other than that, I might pop off a few leaves today before her official dark period starts. It was supposed to be last night, but I forgot to set it. So it's off this morning, but I have some things I still need to do. Like snip off as many fan leaves as possible. No sugar leaves. And if there's a ton of trichomes on the offending leaf, I shall leave it. It's really dry out now, so I'll need to keep a lot of the leaves in tact so it doesn't dry out too quickly. Readings: pH: 6.16 EC: 605 cm TDS: 431 Temp: 69.6 I'm curious as to why both the EC and TDS have higher readings than yesterday. There's absolutely no nutrients, or shouldn't be in that bucket as I've added 2 flushes of Flawless Finish. And 1 top off of plain water. She needs about a half gallon now, but I'll let her take her own water down. I'm not sure how quickly it will be gone. She drinks about a half gallon a day. I think there's around 3.5 gallons left. Should be plenty of water left at harvest and not too much. I still haven't seen a single bit of color. I had to have done something wrong. Back to the EC and TDS. Both spiked about 100 points. That might be my pH pen. I doubt it though. Something environmental or most likely not a colorful one. Which I don't get. It started flushing 3 days ago. Shouldn't I be seeing something colorful by now? All I'm seeing is a very earthy plant. Well, more plant like smell. As for the water situation. I think I might have to pull the water out and pH it back to 5.8 but I'm inclined not to do such a useless task. Of course if it goes over too much, I'll have to step in and add more Flawless Finish. Because I don't think she is eating at all. Or there's a nutrient lockout. Again, that should t matter anymore. Another thing. I found more clawing leaves that were super dark. But how?! There's no nitrogen in this plant. No idea how it's showing signs of toxicity? I don't get it. Like at all. I don't understand why the EC and TDS are climbing when they should be like going down.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ All good, had a flawless week with the girls. Experiencing a lot of issues with the LED though, because of the high humidity in the tent when the lights are out, have to manage that some how... Basically the led matrix fails and blinks till the humidity lower, with this i loose around 1 hr of light a day till it starts all leds... A strange thing to experience! Forgot to start with the flowering booster, so this week missed Big Bud, but still i gave frequently some Bud Ignitor at least. Next watering Bud ignitor and voodoo juice goes out, Big Bud and Velo Kelp come in to play. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ Crazy growth out of this girl, super vigorous, loads of branches, i'm very happy till now with her, super strong. Just letting her do her thing now, no more messing around, just pure contemplation! 😎

Started a little training this week. This plant is pretty bushy with tight nodes. Will be doing some more training and a little defoliation over the next week to get her ready for flower. Other than that, just watching and waiting

got bitten by a spider and realized i was always wondering what my spiritual animal was, and realized it was spiders after that awakening of asking mother natures help me and spiders made a blood pack and since then nature has been helping me out by protecting my plants, from thieves and bad rotten people. and nature gave me spiders to protect my children. one of my spiders thats protecting the rooibaard is called GREGGK.

420FASTBUDS FBT2101 WEEK 11 Getting close for this one. Probably another week is all and I really couldn't be happier. Frosty as can be and smells like a candy store. Flowers are dense as I'd like but definitely from the looks will need a grinder to make life easier when breaking this one up. Happy Growing

This strain has a very interesting high, I and my girlfriend did a test on her at about week 2 of cure and found she has a very sweet minty mango tinge, but a more of a minty tea smell with a bit of sour tinge once you crack that bud open to put it in the grinder. She smokes amazing all white ash and a very dense but romantic softness to her. At first I was bummed smoking this strain because knowing it only peaks at around 17% supposedly I did not expect a very strong bud already, but when I smoked her I got almost a very gradual increase after a few minuets of puffing almost like a euphoric wave was slowly rushing over my eyes and head like a tide coming in on a beautiful night after a long day at the beach. I felt quite sativa stoned with it growing in intensity in my face and eyes, then after I finished my joint I went inside for a glass of water and as soon as I sat down, it really hit me and my girlfriend right in the ass, I was couch locked and so was she, but in a very odd way, I was not indica deep, but I was more a good hybrid deep, a very relaxing eye and face buzz with quite relieving muscle tension I felt amazing, my body was so bloody relaxed! I felt just comfortable like a cozy blanket and a fire on a cold December day, hot chocolate in hand. This strain from start of smoke, to burn out was a very calm and needed high for me and my lady. We both burned out and slept like rocks, like someone had just given the worlds best massage in my brain and bones. I woke up the next morning feeling quite refreshed after that eye relaxing euphoric head high and my back and legs felt very relaxed and ready for a great day! So in my opinion! A good 6/10 for max potency but a 10/10 for flavour and enjoyment. Over all I give this strain a 8/10 in my books, a 17% is all I need and I’m betting she came out around that, of course without lab testing I can not prove that. But I love this strain and the high it gives, one single 0.5 joint got me fried, and the next day I finished off 3 bowls and went to fucking muchie land so he’ll yeah! Give candy cane a try!! Also! Sorry about the lack of info! I did not have a scale when it was in wet weight, I also had a whole half a plant chopped to branches and the big buds left on the plant to hang dry slow, so I was not able to get it on a scale until dried a week later due to my work schedule and having stores open as I’m in the shop and close as I leave.

Day 15 (7/1) - CP is thriving the day after its FIM session. The growth looks good to me..?? I don’t honestly know or have any experience to go off of. It grew a little taller and I was able to adjust the tie on it so more underleaf was exposed. This all took place on day 14. These pictures are the result. I like how much new green I see under after just one night. nothing has been fed to 5he plant other than calmag in water PHed out. I’m watering about every other day. Day 16 (7/2) - The plant seems to be doing well after the FIMing. I adjusted the LST this morning and these are the pictures that I took tonight. I’m seeing a lot of tiny growths all over the place. I’ve kept the plant below or just at around 6 inches this whole time. I have a ScrOG net that I’m waiting to put in to see if the plants are going to get any taller. They are two weeks old and still look pretty small to me. Any feedback would be appreciated. First time growing and I figured I’d go big or go home with the training. Day 17 (7/3) - She is doing very well and is producing new growth daily. And all existing growth seems to be progressing as well. The top of the plant is still around 6 inches due to all the LST and I’m looking forward to seeing if it’s actually going to shoot up. I won’t be able to provide an update tomorrow but I am looking forward to sharing the picture I take Sunday evening on Day 19. Day 20 (7/6) - I spent a few more days away from the grow than originally planned but everything seems to have turned out well. When I got back I gave the plants a nice watering after about two or three days the humidity in the room was a little low so I also refilled the humidifier. I am liking the growth that I’m seeing I’m seeing lots of new growth in the middle and underneath but I’m still not getting the height that I want. I know the height will come with flowering but looking at other grow journals I’ve noticed that most plants are larger than mine at this stage. Tomorrow will be the last day of week three and then of week four. Day 21 (7/7) - Last day of week 3! I’m hoping to see some growth really start happening because I’ve enjoyed watching it grow so far. It wasn’t until today that I had the realization that I was growing in fabric pots so I was actually able to fold over the edges of the pots this entire time. I ended up holding the edges of the pot today and much more of the side of the plant is being hit by the light now. I’m hoping to see some big improvements over this first night with this adjustment. The plant still has not been fed I’ve been in the little bit that was added when it was first planted. I did not give the plants a water today but I will be giving them a drink tomorrow. Tomorrow is the start of week four 🌱

How do you control really huge fan leaves that are putting too much weight on lower leaves?
