New Grower I probably should have waited until fall...

Good luck with your grow!

Thanks Need! I am going to need it. Going up to triple digits again this week. This is going to be another test in how hot the air temps can get, while the roots are chilled.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not a plant can become LESS tolerant to heat as it grows? I am hoping it is the opposite, and that the plant just becomes more tolerant as it grows.

Within reason as long as the roots are in the water they'll be fine. Also your chiller is probably mitigating a huge amount of heat to the plant.

Thanks Mazar. I am hoping that it enough. More 100 degree days later this week. The water chiller has been heroic so far. I didn't think it could compensate for an average grow room temp of 95, but so far so good.

When I opened the cabinet tonight, the temp was 100.2 degrees. Day 21. I hear it really takes off from here. Hopefully, the heat will allow them to.

Looking good fams... things going to take off very soon!!!

 

[Iriee Vibez]

Thanks for the encouragement, Kreature! Would be great to finally smoke my own bud!

Weed isn't addictive but growing it is, you're DOOMED now hehe

I pinched both plants two days ago. I am happy to see that neither skipped a beat and are shooting as I have seen on the topping grow journals. I don't have a lot of height in my cabinet, I am hoping for short plants full of multiple buds. So far, I think I am track. What to you think? Day 22

Well, they survived another day of 100 plus in the cab. Still seems to be growing bushier. I am a little concerned that they aren't stretching like I see in other journals at this time. I do want a shorter plant, but a man concerned that the daily heat drill has stunted their height somewhat.

Roots look white and healthy. Reservoir is holding at 6.0 ph, with about 700 ppm. LED is about 30 inches away from the top of the plants. Can't get much higher.

Will change reservoir this weekend, but keep notes at about half strength for now.

Day 23
