Day 65 update (meant to post it yesterday but got busy)
Ok... things have gotten a little easier/better in my world. Things are not 100% ideal, but definitely much better and I’m doing what I can with the current situation.
Quick recap...
To help the situation in the 5x5 I had originally moved the WCxDG in my 2x4 that had 5 Sour Cracks in it.. it did very little to improve things, but it helped a bit and at the same time made things less than ideal for the 5 Sour Cracks. It was the lesser of two evils... the WCxDG was much further along and halfway through flowering when I moved it. That meant I had to keep my humidity down. Well, my luck/timing/ whatever else I want to blame totally sucked as the weather took a turn for the worse and I found myself stuck with temps of 17C in the 2x4 when getting my humidity until control. Letting it rise into the 70’s didn’t help much either only gained a degree ... anyways on Monday my new light arrived for my new 2x4 which is set to arrive next Tuesday. The new light puts out more power than the 3 autocobs I currently have in my 2x4 so I swapped it in in hopes of higher temps...
That was Monday night... Tuesday I was speaking to a friend and they just had the same 2x4 I’m waiting on delivered. I’m sure you know what came next... so I grabbed the 2x4 from them and they’ll get mine from me once it’s shipped.
Current situation... new 2x4 in same room with my 5x5 (no temp issues there-25C and 50% RH) new light in that 2x4 over my 5 Sour Cracks! Removed the 2 furthest along DG from my 5x5 and put them in my original 2x4 with 3 autocobs. Temps still on the chilly side but yesterday we had better weather and I was able to hit 22C @55% rh and the weather finally looks like things are going to warm up very soon. So WCxDG and 2 DG in my 2x4 with 1-2 weeks left on them with lower temps is better than 5 Sour Crack that just started flowering @17-18C
5x5 currently has 7 DG left in there with all of them looking like they need 3 weeks (some a little more, some a little less...) the finish to this is going to be interesting to say the least. At least I can say that I’ve given everything within my power for things to finish up much better than they were originally destined to be! Here’s a few pics from last night...
5x5 showing some breathing room.
2x4 pics above. WCxDG in the middle DG on the sides...
fingers crossed for a strong finish!
Side note- impressed with the quality and improvements made on this new light over earlier iterations..
to flooding and to show that the root control discs are needed and they do in fact do their job very well! I’m very happy with how things are running using these airpots. After my last run in the 3.9’s there was no way I was going to do that again. I’d like to try something like a radicle bag or rain science bags in order to have a bigger pot that still has air pruning capabilities as this is the largest airpot that fits into the trays. I have 8 Autopots. With the soon to exist new 2x4 setup I’ll have (2) 2x4 and a 5x5. I’m thinking with some slightly larger pots I can put 4 in the 5x5 and 2 in each 2x4 and be able to avoid the hand watering and still max out my spaces.... I’m already jumping ahead! Lol. Honestly though I’m quite excited with how things are progressing.
