Alaskan1's Flo n Gro Mixed Bag Grow

Yeah, that's a little dry if you are able to do something about it. Especially seeing you are trying/hoping to perk them up a bit.

I stuck a great big ass bowl of water in the tent infront of the one fan I have going. Got the RH up to 30 now

Chopped my headcheese and put them into flower tonight :)

Talk about negative pressure in the tent. Looks like the tent is going to cave in on itself. Tomorrow I'll see about Fitting another 6 inch pipe in there for intake. You can feel the air just being sucked into the tent from the hose.
 
71 is good temps for that kind of lighting man good job you really got your temp situation handled. to bad your RH got that low. hope you can get her sorted out. sound slike your doing good. that PH spike will start slowing down over the next few days im guessing if its anything like my rez in my last 2 grows. keep em green bud

Yeah have the temps in the tents and the res all looking good. Res temp was 66 earlier.

Dude I am TRYING to keep them green but so far no go. Think your up to heading this way to see if you can help me sort it all out?

I am heading to bed. I woke up with a sore throat and the crap feeling ya get when you know your coming down with something.

OH, on another note......I got Queen playing in the grow room again 24/7. Perhaps they were missing that and thats why they don't want to grow.

I have pictures of the problems I'm having but just too damn tired from being sick and all the work I did today to post them. So, tomorrow!

Sounds like a good plan - if it's sucking that much you'll want to increase the intake airflow for sure. Putting a loop in it like I suggested does reduce airflow considerably, much more than you might think even, so you are on the right track if you can do a second one, or improve that somehow. It should have some "suck" but not too much. Sounds like you're getting there! :high-five:

I've found that they really like Black Sabbath - but only Ozzy led variant. Hope you feel better! Your temps are great, btw for both tent and res.

If you have an unfilled bucket, you can just put a stopper in the hose connection to blank it off (it won't be able to fill up) on the inside of the bucket.
 
Welcome to 420mag Dub! Lot's of great folks here willing to share their experience and help others out.


Alaskan1,
If you happen to have a bunch of pvc around you can build an inner frame of pvc just "so high" in your tent (or all the way up) like I did in mine. I use this to make string rungs back n forth where needed to support heavy branches. Like scrog but far fewer lines. This stops lots of the "tent suck". I don't glue the parts so I can easily take it apart and change height if needed, or add support. It also works for supporting small fans or clamp on cfl's, whatever.

As for pumping some humidity in there are a few things you can do. A regular room humidifier from wally world helps. Just make sure to get the cool type. You can also take thick wash cloths or towels, soak them, roll them up like a cigar and set them on the top edges of your buckets. Another way to add humidity, is to take a 5 gal bucket of water - say 1/2 full, and grab your wifes favorite bath or beach towel dip it in the water and hang it above the bucket to drip into it. I have to use all these methods in the summer time as out climate is so damn dry in the desert. Once they get big it isnt so bad as the transpiring the girls do creates some humidity too. In fact, presently I'm having too high humidity in flower. So I crack the tent to get more air in.

Lots of great ideas - I know I'm making note of them, too! I have an ultrasonic humidifier that works pretty good, but I would be wary of something like that in bloom phase - ie only use it in veg... Once they get some size, they'll provide a fair amount of humidity on their own. Too much restriction on your intake can create quite a woosh of air that may bring down RH, too. You might help yourself in a couple ways if you can use another piece of ducting/air intake like you mentioned to keep the negative pressure down a bit.

If temps are good, consider using only the weakest fan/fan setting for circulation fan. Blown air will cause RH to drop a whole bunch.

I love Bassmans PVC ideas. Tried to rep you Bassman, but I must have repped you too recently.

Hey dub, thanks for stopping by. Always good to see a fellow alaskan. I'm betting your in Los Anchorage? Lotsa shady people there. Get out into the valley or peninsula they become less shady :) At least from my experience. Glad to have you on the forums.

I had thought about that and i'm just to lazy at the moment to do it.
I currently am down with the flu so I'm not too motivated at the moment.

Very good ideas Bass, Thank you!
I have turned off all the fans in the tent except fpr one and I have that one on low setting with a bowl of water infront of it. Humidity is now up to 34% and tent temp is 71. I may go to wally world like you suggested and go get a cheap one. I have one in Alaska but that does me no good here.

Well I am going to go back to bed. Been sleeping all day, why not finish the day in bed lol

Reps to Bass!
 
Here are the head cheese that just went into flower

NICE loooin plants! that top one is a monster! the last one is a beast. i cant wai to see them start blooming. your grows starting to get moving. finally no more projects to slow you down or get in your way.

Yes, considering what the poor plants have gone through ( spider mites, PM and root rot) they are turing out quite well. They are gonna be big suckers!
 
ahh man spider mites PM and root rot already? well the worst is over from the sound sof it now that you have your setup dialed in. im happy to hear your feeling better and alive today. i got your PM and ill be writing back to you in a few about that

That was in veg in the very begining, all fixed now!

remind me what nutes you using real quick... i cant find a post on it

I am using the Technoflora nutes now. I was using the AN nutes but they are just too damn spendy for the amount of plants I'm growing.
