1st Grow - Bubblelicious CFL & LED Grow Tent

Thanks everyone! Both girls got a feeding today. I received my moisture meters from China today and love them!!! Do you people who use moisture meters leave them in all the time or just to check?

Bubba is really showing her flowers now and is almost as tall as Kandy, while Kandy seems to have slowed down a little. I'll add some pics tomorrow as all the recent pics kind of look the same.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
 
I purchased one of those moisture, pH, and light meters from china also... I received mine last week. I don't really like it... It doesn't seem accurate to me. I leave it in the soil anyway so i can kinda get a reading. I soaked my plants and it was just on the moist setting the other day. I thought it should be in the "wet" reading... Today the soil is still moist and it says dry... :thedoubletake:

Yea, I think we bought the same ones. Dunno if they are accurate yet. Both girls were dry and the meter did say dry.... The light doesn't seem to work but that's fine with me. I'll check them in the morning as they just went to bed for the day. Thanks Hunter.
 
I have one that reads ph/light/moisture and I have to move a button to match what I want to check and it works okay. I do not leave my meter in the soil...the ph meter doesn't seem to work in my mind. The way I use mine is: the first time I watered it well and I checked it and marked it as wet and went from there and it seem to work. I still lift the pot to check when I need to water though...lol. The Znet bangs the light meter all the way which I like since I moved a clone to my flower room today. :)
 
Day 48 Update!

Well Bubba has caught up with Kandy height wise, Still quite the bush and I am very afraid of the stretching yet to occur. Her bud sites are looking very nice and she is starting flower very nicely.

Kandy seems to have slowed, Its possible she just stopped stretching and I am confusing that for no growth. Her buds look like they have grown a little. I hope there isn't any issues with her. Other than that she looks fine. Possibly a little over watered, Hard to tell.

On to the pics!

Everybody enjoy your Sunday!
 
The girls just woke up, It is VERY humid out already. I have my large dehumidifier right up against the door with the door opened to fit the dehumidifier. Best I can do is to lower the RH to 60% at this point. my temps are staying at 73 at the moment.

Has anybody had any luck with those mini dehumidifiers? I am worried about the heat caused by my large unit, That's why I can't put it in the closet. I am worried about bud rot if I can't get my RH lower.

Edit: RH is now at 63%
 
You for sure dont need it to get over 60%.... And need to try and get it to 50%. What pint dehumidifier do you have? I have a 70 pint i just purchased and i have it in my grow room and it dehumidifies the whole house to as low as 30% if i want it. Its very humid here also.

Those small ones work but i dont believe it would help in your situation as they are very small and do very little. Especially if you have a big one lol...

FYI i actually purchased a 35 pint stand up one and it just wasnt really doing it for me... I took it back and added $20 and got the 70 pint!!! It works wonders now. Maybe this could be an option for you? I can collect 70 pints of water in about 8-10 hours. 90% humidity outside.

Also What pint and name brand do you have?
 
Looks like it's a 30 pint Haier dehumidifier. Might need to look into a larger one i guess.

With the A/C running throughout the house, I am able to get RH to 55%, but then my temps drop to 73f

Not ideal, but doable I suppose.

Be sure to use the recovered water in your grow if possible.

If you have a old dehumidifier i would not recommend this.. Mold spores and traces of bacteria from the coils and fins will also be in this water. If its a newer one or if you clean it and the fins often you can use the water. If you use the water constantly you have to be careful of copper mineral build up from the coils. You need less than 1% copper in your grow and the water is usually 10ppm or so and all of it is copper. You will get in the danger zone if you keep replenishing your reservoir with this water. Other than that, MaggiesFarm is correct and its distilled pure water. Just some information to throw out there for you!

Thanks guys for the info. I have no way of knowing how much copper is in the water or if its safe. I think I will continue using my distilled water for now.
 
Update day 50!!

I can't believe we have made it this far! The girls are doing great! Kandy has a tad nute burn, just her tips, while Bubba is loving the nutes! Bubba has shot up and has taken over the height war, her flowers are getting more defined and looks like she will be a producer!

Bubba got just straight water this morning, Kandy was still sipping hers so I will wait and check her again tomorrow. On to the pics....

Enjoy your day all!
 
Insomnia sucks. The medication I am on has a side effect of insomnia. Smoking before I go to bed helps put me to sleep but 4 hours later I am wide awake! May need to look into edibles, or how to make edibles.

Anyone have more info on how to make, and use edibles?

Thanks.
