New Grower HD Grower Journal ( 1st grow)

Hi HD, a temp of 80F with lights on is fine but 70% RH with lights on does call for more air exchange. As AK suggested if you just open vents at the top and bottom for now natural convection may well get the RH down to what you want. How are you doing temp and RH wise with lights off?

AK i do have my vents open and Oldsrter I do have a filter and exhaust in my tent now..But I raised my fan Osalating fan off the floor cause of the garden growth. just to tease the gals..My lights are on a 20/4 (10pm-2am off) and being an old drunk I'm sleeping and have not checked the levels in the 1-2 oclock hours...Every thing seems to be ok but I am a true neebee..Just happy to see that I haven't really screw'd up yet like over water or lock them up with nute's..I've been leaving the tent open but I live alone and a bit of a loner..(no visiters to say of)..But its getting strong in here after 10 hour of the door open...

Thanks

Woke this morning today to it snowing.. What better day to work on setting up my new grow room.

New 4x4 Lighthouse tent
4" duck fan and carbon filter
New T5 4' 8 54 watt bulb light
oscation fan

I have to figure out how to run my power and then decide Which Gals get a new home.I'm thinking the autos.More and better light for them..Then chang my old tent in to a bloom room for the photo plants I have..Also think I'm going to try and Clone a few of the photo's just to give that a try.I've never intered those waters before..

if all goes well late today i should be smiling..

Thanks

Now that's sounds like a fun day. I love setting up new toys.....

 

[oldster]

HD, yeah snowing here as well. Sounds like a great plan using the old tent for bloom and the new one for veg and autos. Don't know what your temperatures run but you might want to think about using some of the exhaust from your old tent to raise temperature and humidity a little in the veg tent when you set things up

Update of my day

Well the Auto Gals have a new home..Hope they like it..Now they have some spase to spread their arms. While I was at that I figured its almost week four and it was plain water feeding time I'd flush them also.. The tent is in an area where its a bit cooler,so my temp and humidy should be better also..Ill have to check the levels in a few hours and update the weather..wink.

I also Flushed the photo plants I have while I had the mess already made..I probly mess'd up,but I did a pretty good trim job on a couple of the photo plants..Guess I'll have to sit back and see.Think I'll leave them on the Veg cycle afew day to recover then start to cut the light off 30 minutes aday till I reach my 12/12 timing..Any input on this update would be really helpful

Thanks

Well its been 5 hours for the gals in there new home. Outside in the space is 60F inside is 72F , Humdity is 50% but the flush is still leeching abit. I emptied the drip pans and I'll wait till morning to check them again.

Thanks

Day 29

Well checked the gals out in thier new home this morning.Seems that they like it.The temp is leveled out at 72F and the RH is 50%..

After the fact,I was sitting lastnight watching the Twilight Zone and hoping that I didn't mess up by flucking the gals.They are in 3 gal pots.I flushed with two gals of tap water that is PH'd at about 6.7. Then I used a gal of water PH'd at 6.2 with Fox Farm Sledge Hammer. Any input???

Thanks

They look super green and happy. Your flush does not seem to extreme, my 30 day flush calls for 10gal flush per plant.

 

[HD Grower]

Yeah AK. I'm been told a general rule of thumb for flushing is twice the pot size..But my little mind Said I'm only feeding 1/4 the nutes I should be able to get away with half that amount...Thanks for your input.

Thanks
