I just gave them 1ml flat to see how they react, plus gave each one a full liter to them selves and tied em down for first day of training lol can't wait to see how they take to things obey the next few days. Will b turning the light up to full spectrum now that all four are confirmed females! I'll very some puce up tomorrow evening when they go into their new home in the 4x4 tent. Going to get my pots ready to go tomorrow night, filed with soil, then I just need a 24 hour heads up to when you're going to start germinating because I like to presoak my pots and let them sit under my light for 24hrs to warm the soil up before I sow my beans in.

Sounds great all around!

And I got some perlite! 22 pound bag haha should last awhile lol. How's your current girls doing? Any fresh bid porn? Fun yield estimates per plant?

Yep a 22lb bag ought to last awhile! Current ladies are doing just fine...pics tomorrow assuming I am not too hurtin' after the festivities tonight. Hmm estimates...I am thinking frosty and shorty will both pull an ounce or 1.5 off each, where frosty might only pull an O. Only time will tell for sure. Hopefully I am underestimating, as I would like to smoke these for the next month or two.

Well hopefully they yield nice and proper for u! Have a happy new year and b safe out there. I'm at home and not moving from the house, unless the wife goes into labor which could be any time in the next 3 weeks!

Gory my 4x4 tent up and running today. It was placed in my new grow room the wide allowed me to do whatever with for the next year basically lol having trouble keeping the Temps down with the door shut to the room the tent is in. Kind of hard to hide the light right off my living room haha so here's my plan Stan....there's a heat duct that runs up and splits off,one side blows into the living room, one side bored into the bedroom containing the tent. I am a cheap bastard and put plastic on all my windows for the winter and refuse to turn the heat above 68 lol so the heat stays about 68 in the living room. If I was to close off the whole duct completely and buy a 4 to 6 inch fan and have it stuck air through the vent from the living room and run the ducting straight into my tent giving it 68 degree sit of that would cool the tent enough. I could close off my vents that I use for passive intake and only intake the air from they living room. I'll still b dumping the tent air into a room with now way to get it out of the room but if my tent environment is cool than screw it right? Think this would work? I'm a home renter so I thought this would b the easiest way to not destroy this ladies house with my cannabis adventures! Lmao

Hey! Hope you had a great relaxing new years! I will be happy with whatever the yield is. Really I am crazy far from "needing" this grass. If I only get 3 zips total I will be happy, but having another look at the girls today I would say that is underestimating for sure. Every plant has a minimum of 10 branches and I see an easy 1/8th on every branch, so I would say an ounce a plant is going to happen.

So your setup...it sounds like a feasible plan for sure. The only other thing I can think of would be to uncover your plastic off your window, that would likely drop it a couple of dregrees. So what temps is it up to in the tent?

 

[Discretepete2676]

I'm holding 77 with the door cracked, low 80s with door shut. Scared to see what the max is after a couple hours. Can't take the plastic of that room. It's one side black and one side white. Left my blinds on and put it black side facing out so no one can see my bright light shining in the room all night. My grow room is off the front of the house and I live in city limits. I'm legal but try to b secure and quiet about it lol. Just realized I have a cool air intake in the floor in there. Could stand or hand my carbon filter inside my tent sucking air out of the tent and I can duct my hot tent air right into that intake and into the ducts in the house. Sounds like my best option I think

I actually prefer higher temps to lower temps. The medium will dry out faster, leading to increased feeding. Now I am not saying 90 degrees, but I totally agree with fairlynew, that thinks premium temps under led's is 82-84. Whether you would clear the heat from the lights through a heavier outtake fan, or try to overpower the heat with more forced cool air, either method should work, but I think clearing the heated air would be a more practical solution.

I think your right. Hvac 101 says to always remove heat first and try adding cool air second. I'm going to do a little project to duct that heat into the floor through the rest of the house so I'm making use of it. All filtered of coarse. Wonder if my 6 inch fan will b enough. Should b. I'm hitting like 86 as I sat in there and smoked. Wouldn't let it climb higher. But if high temps are good I don't want full power of two fans pulling air into the floor so just this one might do it. If not I'll but a cheap booster. Just fed and things are looking great. Will take picture of my training in a minute and post on my thread

Yes they are looking good for their age bud! Remember regardless of lights used, every different strain will have its own growth rates, stretch and flower durations. And depending on the breeder and their dedication to stabilizing, there can be a huge variance amongst plants of the same strain. That's what makes it such a fun hobby, especially for strain hunters. Some will certainly yield a bit less than desired, but often other qualities will make up for it.
