Traficante...LOL...like most of the rest of Michigan. Have to get me rear outside and drop the gas tank, so I can remove the new fuel pump, and replace it for a new new fuel pump.

Stully my brother, I boomed out from Local 75 in the late seventies. Worked some big jobs, some small. Still have ten fingers, and all ten toes. 50+ contractors, 16 locals, no regrets.

i lost a plant tonight my son thought it funny to dig in daddys grow room. R. I .P.

Sorry to hear about the plant bro. You do have more beans seeds?

 

[stully]

No all out of beans, but I still got the other 9 or 10 plants going.

Stully, same here bro, lost one of the AK47 x Hindu Kush babies. Seems it got it's head above ground, and then stalled out. When I checked it out, the root system was dead. Time to start another one.

Well stully, it appears you started the grow too soon. If you have to share your grow room with people doing laundry and have small children with unfettered access, you have a recipe for disaster. Sorry about your plant, but I'm glad your child didn't get burned on the HPS! Good preparation for the whole grow cycle is important especially with youngins around. Here's to keeping all your babies safe!

good luck sorry bout the loss but i think it will all work out in the end

 

[stully]

munki, usually there is no access for the children, just a freak accident. Will be in the secure closet in a few days.

So quick update. i went to the hydro store today. I got the rest of the stuff to finish the grow cab. I picked up an air cooled hood, 100' of mylar(which by the way is a pain in the ass to hang), a carbon filter, an inline, some flex tube and all the hardware. I ran out of time to finish, but the ladies should be in their new home tomorrow. hope this settles the temp issue once and for all. It set me back a cool 280. Ouch! The plants are all looking great. The sad plants are looking better, I did some LST on Kim and she responded great. She is looking very bushy. I am gonna do some tying down on jan tomorrow. I fed all plants yesterday and they all responded well. i will update with picks as soon as I get a few free minutes. Prolly tomorrow or the next.

Do you guys think it would hurt anything if i switched from 18/6 to like 16/8 to better deal with my heat issue? I got the new set=up going, but 'm doing a test run to see what the heat does in the new box. I could turn the lights off from like 11-7 while it's stinking hot. will this slow my growth more then high heat would slow it?

I'd say stick with your current lighting schedule and monitor it in their new home for a few days first. I know heat can be an issue but they are small and in soil, so they should handle up to the low 90s OK. The Max temp on my probe reads 92. I seem to get there just about every day and hit mins in 70s. This is in hydro too. The heat is more of an issue in the flowering stages I believe. Read somewhere that the buds will have less density (stringy and fluffy). CO2 can alleviate that somewhat when elevated.

So right now, just get them into the new home and monitor the conditions. Changing the light cycles too much is just another stressor your plants would have to handle. Could lead to hermaphroditism in genetically suseptible strains. Remember, plants in nature go their entire lives in the same spot and they adapt to those particular conditions. Suddenly changing those conditions often and/or severely tells the plant that it is a bad time to grow and may be better to make seed for next season at whatever cost.

That is how I see it. I could be wrong.

Thanks alot makes a lot of sense. I never understood why plants decided go herme. Survival instinct is very strong, good explanation.

 

[Munki]

Thanks alot makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, I try to make up for my lack of dollars with more sense.

 

[stully]
