A little fresh air. Nice.

Now that my ladies are full-blown bud producing machines with plump, hairy buds full of frosty, crystalline trichomes, is it safe to up my mix of blackstrap molasses from 1 tbl. per gallon of water to 2 tbl. per gallon? I understand 2 tbl. is the max to use, but not sure how that applies to autos.

The nutes and amendments I'll be finishing my flowering phase are:

Filtered RO water
AN Sensi Bloom A&B
Plantation Unsulphered Blackstrap Molasses
AN B-52
AN Big Bud
AN Bud Candy
AN Overdrive
AN Final Phase

So far I've been using most of those except for the Overdrive and Final Phase with EXCELLENT results. Even my runt/stunned plant is making big flowers! I'll be using the Overdrive and the Final Phase at the end of my grow. Only a few weeks to go!

I've been using Glacier RO water from their vending machines for the last month of my grow (prior I was using PUR drip filtered water). I have a Glacier vending machine at the supermarket a block away where I was paying $0.30 per gallon. Last night I discovered two Glacier machines a few blocks further next to a drug store that sells the same water for $0.20 per gallon. Just 20 cents per gallon for RO water is fantastic I think!

My plants love this water. I don't know the PPM and all that, but my girls aren't complaining. Good stuff!

They all seem to love how I've been treating them for the last 52 days.

Here's an example of lady #3.

Zoom in to see the sticky, smelly, glistening goodness.

I plan to flush next week and then harvest when they're perfect.

Nice, a fine looking lady.

Thanks Muddy!

It's getting warm here and temperatures in my grow box hit 105 degrees F with the ambient temperature in the room at 97 degrees F today. I have no climate control in the room my grow box is in and have no way to run any air conditioning there. I have a small 10" fan blowing some warm air away from the box, but that helps very little. I'm almost ready to harvest my grow, but with summer coming up, I'm worried my next few grows may have too much heat to contend with.

How hot can I let my grow box get over the summer?

I have a passive exhaust right now. If I add an intake fan over my current intake hole, will that help keep it cooler? Even with ambient temperatures exceeding 100 degrees some days?

It will never be cooler than ambient temp, of the intake, and will be several degrees warmer. How hot will depend on your lighting, and ventilation. Many growers, at least here in the south, quit growing, in the summer, for just this reason. I have heard, but don't know for sure, that at anything over 80 degrees F, that plant growth stalls out.
If you are planning on another grow, over the summer, I would find some way to air condition, your intake air. There is a thread, here that shows how to make a do it yourself AC. You may be able to use that.

Best of luck bro.

So I chopped my first girl late last night at 72 days (10.3 weeks). Her fan leaves were mostly yellow and curled except for some of the flower leaves. I'd say her leaves were about 75% yellow. This was plant #2. She is the least smelly and least trichome covered of my three girls, although she was the tallest and second oldest. Even my stunted/runt plant has more odor and more trichomes. Still, she looks beautiful and I can't wait until her buds are dried, cured, and ready to taste!

The wet weight (with stems) is 92 grams! I still have two more plants that I estimate will be ready to harvest next week.
