Buckets and dehumidifier are here. Waiting on the 2 fans and then I'll set the tent up completely so I can run it closed up without worry. The idea is much much easier than pulling plants out twice a day to water. I'll empty the buckets once a week unless it
First Grow In Almost 2 Years!
- Thread starter JAB
- Start date
Day 40. Strawburried Kush RBX1. I did something wrong with this one she is small. Haven't had any problems though at all maybe just a slow grower?
Day 66. Northern Lights Auto. Steady bulking up!
Day 72. AK Auto. Steady bulking up as well!
The whole tent. Got the dehumidifier and fans all installed. Temps between 75 & 82°F and RH stays between 45 & 55% now. Tons of airflow so I don't think I'll have a mold issue anymore. Waiting for these 2 gals to finish up then Ill start one of each auto seeds!

Nice idea keep an eye out from your roots trying to grow down to the runoff. If they can sense water and it's moist in there the roots will grow to it. IMO don't let that runoff sit in those buckets for a week and get stagnate
Appreciate the advice! A week is just how long I am able to go before I have to empty them. I empty everyday normally. I also have a micro screen in there so no roots can get through.Nice idea keep an eye out from your roots trying to grow down to the runoff.

No problem I like the idea I just a worry and I’ve seen roots grow like crazy you’d be amazed what they can grow through. Doubt that “micro screen” will stop them. I lined my earthboxes with mirco window bug screen to stop the soil from getting in the Rez but it didn’t phase the roots they went right through it. Just keep a eye on it you might be fine just making sure you were aware

Quick update. Tent is thriving now that I have the 2 new fans going and the dehumidifier. Temps around 78°F and RH staying at 45%!! No more mold for me hopefully 
AK Auto (Right) Day 78. This gal is about a week from harvest. Looking for 5% amber as this is what the wife prefers.
Northern Lights (Left) Day 71. I had a little hiccup with her and the PH pen out of whack but she's coming back to life again. Yellowed out some but still looking big and beautiful! She's got a few weeks left still.
Strawburried Kush RBX1. (Middle) Day 46. I don't think this gal liked being topped so next time I'll let it grow natural. Didn't stretch at all very small gal probably going to move her outside and start another one.
