Your Humidity is very low in my opinion. Increasing it will also increase grow rate. If you do not own a humidifier, you can simply hang a wet towel inside your grow area. Try to keep it arround 55% while in veg, and arround 45% when flowering. Low Humidity will increase resin production while flower, but also slows down growth in veg and in flower. Keep in mind, high humidity air will also help staying cool in your grwo room. Transpiration needs energy, same principal as AC´s work with. Humid Air is also capable of transporting more energy/heat away, making it easier for your exhaust to keep your grow room cool.

Thanks for the advice....I have been looking at humidifiers on Amazon but haven't found one I like. I know my humidity has been low since the beginning of my grow. I will definitely try the towel or the bowl method and see if I can't get it up a some more. I generally spray them a few times a day to get the humidity up some. I know about time I get it up, the humidity in the North East will require me to get a de-humidifier to get it down in the flower stage LOL. That's always the way it goes though!

Looking good Van Stank, ill sub for this one.

Good advice Crocodoc, the wet towel method works great for small areas, I would advise you Stank to use a towel and bowl(or bucket) and use it as a wick and point a fan to it. That method has work wonders for me, and in a couple of days you will notice a huge difference.

Happy Growing!!!

Thanks for the bowl idea BBrown! And thanks for dropping in on the journal!

Ah mai thats some good llokking veggies jjust harvested my lettuce that i was trying out and yup those burgers had a twist we dont see much coming out of the darkness of winter.

Your atf is looking beautiful as ever. I topped mine and the resin glands already had that pungent chocolaty-ameretto good stink. Your deff ahead of the game on that.

Heres a few just going to come out.

Check that J-OG stretch. On another note i kinda let a clone go from germ to flower and it was great and relaxing smoke.

That looks amazing Illizm. Can't wait for my girls to start looking like that. Patience is the key for me. I have enough medicine to have a pretty long veg cycle.

Quick humidity update.

I went with the wet towel method to see what it can do for my humidity. Seems to have raised it a bit. I have been between 40-50% today. Will hope it will aid in the veg cycle growth rate. Thanks again for the advice guys and gals!!

Tweaked my back somehow in my sleep, couldn't get out of bed. Had to have Ms Stank go get the CBD oil from downstairs to give me enough relief to get out of bed and downstairs early this morning. Fired up a bowl of ATF and was once again amazed at the instant relief from that searing nerve pain. Hope the strain of ATF I am growing will provide this same type of relief.

Gonna do a CBD strain on the next grow. If any of you have a go to CBD strain that is great for nerve or back pain, please let me know. I have a few CBD seeds already to choose from.

1. Purple Orange CBD (Dinafem) 5% THC 10% CBD
2. Bubba Kush CBD (Dinafem) 8% THC 10% CBD
3. CBD Remedy (Canuk Seeds) 6% THC 7% CBD
4. CBD Durban (Nirvana Seeds) 8% THC 8% CBD
5. Hiydrow HY-1 (medical mj) 6-8% THC 11-16% CBD
6. Blue Dream CBD (Humboldt) 10% THC 10% CBD
7. Deep Mandarin CBD (Delicious Seeds 4-10% THC 8-15%

If anyone has any other recommendations to buy that work great for back issues, please share!!

Day 35 (Yesterday) Update.

Some pretty exciting news. So as I posted on the very 1st journal entry, I am growing 4 Alaskan Thunderfunk regular seeds. So with this being my very 1st grow, I was a little nervous about the whole sexing of the plant and not wanting to screw anything up that would cost me my crop. So I went to they hydro store and bought this new toy to help me identifying my plants' sex.

I gotta admit, I am not the most technological person to be sure.....so it was a bit of a learning curve figuring out how to use this thing correctly and I was close to coughing it up as a 10 dollar waste of money. But as Ms Stank and I played around with it, SHE figured it out and we were able to make some exciting discoveries. Here are a few shots of the new toy and pre flowers we were able to find. At least 2 of the 4 ATFs showed themselves to have lady pre flowers (I am stoked....though the plant I really wanted to be a female, ATF #4, hasn't shown enough of itself to make a confident determination). So I will have at least 2 ATF plants that will continue in the full grow journal, ATF #1 and ATF #2. Without further blabbering!!

New Toy

ATF #1 showing her pre flowers!!

ATF #2 showing her stuff as well!!

I use the same loupe which i got for $10 off amazon. I been using it to check for trichomes and amber. I must say, they do a really good job!

Yeah I am loving it TheGrow17. Took me a little while to figure the best way to use it but now I am good. I check the leaves I defoliate for any funky crap on them and to just play with it!

That and the Blue Dream CBD were the top two on my list, so I might have a go with one or the other....or hell both. Thats the tough part when I am limited on space.....choosing what to grow in my one tent. I would love to be able to have a 2nd tent, but its just not in the cards at this time.

Re: 1st Grow - Alaskan Thunderfuck x4 - Durban Poison - Blue Kush & Blueberry In Kind

Same here, i have a 4' x 4' and no room for another. Looking for a bigger place now though.

 

[Van Stank]

Re: 1st Grow - Alaskan Thunderfuck x4 - Durban Poison - Blue Kush & Blueberry In Kind

Same size as me. When me and Ms Stank get our next place, I will ensure I have room for several grow spaces. I will also ensure I am running solar and will power all my grows from it.

 

[Pennywise]

Re: 1st Grow - Alaskan Thunderfuck x4 - Durban Poison - Blue Kush & Blueberry In Kind

Id be all set with a 4' x 8' for flower and my 4' x 4' for vegging and cloning.

Re: 1st Grow - Alaskan Thunderfuck x4 - Durban Poison - Blue Kush & Blueberry In Kind

I want a third tent, away from the others that I can use to play around with breeding. The endless options of strains and crossing is fascinating to me.....but it will have to be secluded from the grow and veg tent. I don't know much about it yet, but have been reading a lot on it from Rosenthal.

Re: 1st Grow - Alaskan Thunderfuck x4 - Durban Poison - Blue Kush & Blueberry In Kind

Ive made seeds, both standard and feminized but i havent done any crosses yet but i have a couple of landraces id like to cross at some point.

Thats awesome brother. I will get there someday.

Yeah I am really intrigued to try it. I also picked up a CBD Durban that I would like to try as well. Thanks for stopping by the grow Bloodguy! Welcome!

Today's early update: Day 40

I watered the girls yesterday. They seem happy today for the H2O. Today I want to clear a lot of the tomatoes out of the tent. The girls are getting too big to be clustered like they are. Gotta clear some room for them downstairs. Once I do that and get the tent how I want it, I will post pictures.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Late Day 40 update

Checked the girls for pests again today.....all clear. Measured the ATF #2 and #4 and they grew about 2 inches in 3 days so the growth rate is picking up. I am going to have to supercrop them soon. Speaking of supercropping, I brought myself to supercropped my favorite plant today...the Blue Kush. I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of her today as she looked really sad. Maybe tomorrow if she has recovered enough to have her picture taken.

The hanging wet towel seems to be helping with the humidity. It fluctuated between 45-55% most of the day. Temps are staying steady at the 73-78 range except for the overnight period when it drops down to about 68.

Here are a couple group shots in the tent.
