I'm LSTing the fuck out of mine lol so they all look bushy. As of right now as a complete noob I see nothing making any one plant stand out from the others accept one started with 5 leaves in a set instead of 3 leaves the first set like the other girls.... We named her mongoloid....lol I'm hoping at least one is different just to see what it's like... I guess I'll know closer to harvest by color, density and smell, trich production n so forth.... So I'll just hurry up and wait. Lol

A tent full of developing girls.... Day 30 today so I have to post.... Things are looking good. Nothing abnormal. Things are looking better actually so no worries there.... Temps around 26c in the tent. 6" and 4" fans blowing across canopy in different directions. Lights 600w HPS on 18/6 schedule. Lights 24" from the tallest branch on my canopy. 34% RH.... Been pretty low since I removed the humidifier.... May have had some effect on the grow having low humidity but hopefully not.... Helps alleviate the scare of bud rot with those numbers tho things are on track so far... Well on my way to hopefully some beautiful bud porn happy growing and thank you everyone for keeping up with my 3,674,747 post on this thread.

So this morning after taking pics I left my thermostat sitting in my canopy for a couple of hours and just opened the tent to smoke with the girls and it was 30.5c in there and it's not supposed to exceed 29 c....I moved my light up some more past two feet and now the tent is open its dropping to where it's supposed to b.... Does the light shining directly on the thermostat change temps? It's directly below the center of the light in the canopy like the picture on my thread. Both fans are blowing across the canopy and this is about as cold as I can get it in here... Going to set the thermometer on my up side down five gallon bucket in the corner and see what it reads in an hour.... This could be some of my issues as I've had my thermometer on the floor for awhile like a noob... Hopefully this cheap thermometer/ humidity reader is inaccurate.... I have not thoroughly checked the accuracy......

Opened my bottom zippers during the light period to allow more passive airflow from the cooler air on the ground.... All my vents are open and I have a 4" hole I left open hoping all that would allow in enough air but apparently there's not enough passive intake out any other source of fresh air coming in. It's perfect temp in my house. I keep my central air on 70F 24/7....Withalltheventsopen...A 4" hole at the bottom and the bottom zippers open allowing alot more air in the tent sides are still being sucked in by my online fan though, that's good, after this grow I'll be moving so it will ba whole new ball game and I can plan better this time and check temps out and stuff

Absolutely, it will affect your readings. Radiant heat. Best to check temps by putting your thermostat under the canopy, shaded by the top leaves. You can tie it off the rails in your tent. I wouldn't worry about 30, mine regularly go into the mid 30's during the summer. It isn't great for them but it isn't going to kill them. It will open up your flowers though, making them less dense.

@A4 i see you looking!!! Lol.... We are literally cold in my house so I kno the air is here.... Just need it in the tent. My room is only room without a duct for the central air but it's still pretty cool cuz I have air exchanging into the room with a fan placed ever so precisely lol

 

[Discretepete2676]

I don't want less dense no sir!!! Lol I'll rig it up on the side of one the buckets in a minute and see how that reads.... Getting ready for work too. I'll figure this out for sure. But yes I thought maybe the placement of the thermostat affected the reading cuz it was only at 25c when I first put it in there

This girl in the back right is just on a mission from day one to catch up to the pack and exceed their growth. Was the last girl to come through the soil. I even brushed some soil off to help her out lol. She skipped her first set of leaves which all the rest started with 3, and she decided to grow 5 for her first set instead. She had grown in weird spurts till now but was always my Bushiest girl.... Now standing an inch or more taller than the other girls.... Proud dad here @A4..... Do you think I should do one more LST session for them and then let them grow to finish or in my mind Mathematically I was thinking I probably stressed them enough with mistakes that I should even it out and do one less LST so it's less stunting of my growth? Maybe I will just choose a couple branches that are way higher up and just level them out because the canopy

is fairly even....

 

[Discretepete2676]

I kno my pictures suck I'll take good ones when it counts I promise....

 

[A4]

I would let them go at this point. The canopy looks even and that is all you want really. I don't believe I have seen a better LST on here. Let them stretch from there and watch the buds explode.
