New Grower Mara's continuous grow

I might remove the wire hangars and ballasts from my lights and screw the QB's right to the ceiling (with 1/2" airspace). I covered the rough-sawn wood overhead with aluminum trim-coil to eliminate the fire hazard of lights touching wood.
I'm just reading up on your amazing grow mate. Plants look great!!
One piece of well offered advise, please be careful doing what you want to do. Covering it with the alutape only will do nothing if not allowing even better heattransfer to the wood above. If possible put some sort of mechanical ventilation up there so to cool everything to manageable temperatures. :toke:
 
Friday update at 11 weeks old (4 weeks for the babies):

Moth Man #1 is 79 days old. I been drying a little larf in the Arizer Solo and vaping it already:

Double Grape #2 is 77:

Double Grape #3 is 72. The lower larf was getting heavy and hanging down, so I chopped it off and been vaping it:

The babies are 4 weeks old, all topped at 3 weeks. They're getting crowded on the sprout shelf until the big girls get chopped.

A quick Friday update on my 6 autos at 12 weeks and 7 weeks. Here's a panorama of the 7'x6' grow area:
setup_20220819_pan.jpg


Gnome MothMan is 86 days old, showing some color. I hope she's done soon, because the new girls need her space:
MM.1_day86.jpg MM.1_day86_trichs.jpg

Mephisto Double Grape #2 is 84. The larf was getting heavy and hanging down so I chopped it. Some of the tops have needed support ropes. Another week I hope:

Double Grape #3 is 79. I've been chopping larf and vaping it for a while now. She might finish first:

The little girls are too big for their 48" shelf at 5 weeks old (Mango Smile #1, Gold Leaf #3, Moth Man #2):
MS.1_day35.jpg GL.3_day35.jpg MM.2_day35.jpg

I've been defoliating every day to try and get the humidity down, but when it rains it's definitely too high. Today the girls are at 78°F and RH 64%. I probably need to seal up the space better so I have more control over intake air. As soon as I harvest the big girls! I'll start harvesting soon, either because they're ready or because the "little" girls can't wait to stretch.

That's it for this week. Thanks and cheers to all you real Live Stoners!

Can you increase exhaust flow? That should help, somewhere between a little and a lot :haha::pass: your grow is looking great:d5:

Thanks Frank! I've been running the 8" ACInfinity exhaust at low speed because the in-coming air is so humid (no central air here). New air comes in from the basement, as humid as outdoor air. I intend to seal everything up so all incoming air has to go through a filter. Maybe I need a bigger dehumidifier, or a lung-room, or both. Everything is a work in progress.
 
Fourth Friday of August update. The "little" girls are 7 weeks old, the old ladies are done at about 13 weeks. I chopped one more after this panorama:

Gnome Moss Man #1 gets a few more days, since overcrowding is no longer an issue:
MM.1_day93.jpg MM.1_day93_trichs.jpg

Double Grape #2 got chopped earlier this week. The larf is already dry enough to burn, and getting rave reviews. The dense top buds are not quite dry enough for a final weight, but looks like maybe 4 ounces (the first ounce of smaller bottom buds are already up in smoke):

Double Grape #3 got chopped today after the panorama photo (2nd from the right in the panorama). The colas were flopping over from their own weight, and I need the space. She got a wet trim without scissors, just pulling off leaves that were less than 1/2 covered in trichomes. She had 14 main branches, and 12 of them reached the top. Wet trim took an hour and a half (maybe I'm getting the "hang" of it). I plan to let her hang a couple of days from the ceiling of the grow room (at 62% RH), then do a dry trim, then into gallon jars with the lids off until they can hold 62% RH with the lids on:

The 3 teenagers are 42 days old. They all started flowering at the same time a few days ago (I logged it as day 39). Gold Leaf #3 graduated to the flowering shelf, so the other 2 have some elbow-room on the 4' nursery shelf.
Heres Mango Smile #1, Moth Man #2, and Gold Leaf #3:

I'll probably chop Moth Man #1 this week, and do a little work on the grow space before I start the next 3 seeds (Mango Smile, WTF, Gold Leaf). That's about it. Thanks for all the help (that's you, real Live Stoners).
