Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

You guys flower all the way through at 60%?:passitleft::passitleft:

I like to keep rH up in that range if temps are 80 plus, which they almost always are when the lights are on. If temps top out in the high 70's then I like to run about 55% rH.

However, in both cases, I find a nice cool, dry night really brings on resin production. 67 or so temps, and 40-45 rH. This makes the plants happy.
 
Doc what co2 generator are you using? Do you like it?

I'm using one of those propane generators. It's worked perfectly day after day, for over 5 years....my kind of equipment.

Interesting my Temps (in flower)with lights on are 77 to 79 max. & 71 to 74 lights out.
Humidity runs @ 50% RH Lights on 43 to 45% off, all very consistent in these ranges.

I think I will try and bring it up to 55% lights on and try lowering my Night temps as
I know this will bring out colors and I would like to see if Trichome production will increase,
although with this plant its going to be very hard to distinguish an increase in Trichomes if I have any.
But the added color will be nice.

Thanks for reminding me to experiment with the lower night temps :high-five:

BTW This is the second clone at finish (5 gal felt pot), now working on the 3rd Gen with this plant
and canopy is double this size in a 3 gal felt pot.

Great Gazoo! That's a beaut'!
 
Nice training job, i'de say...wow, super low profile! Looks a lil purply too.:bravo:

That's incredible! My kit just came in today so I'll be mixing it up tomorrow morning as we are still in the midst of a heat wave.

Still waiting on my light though but I have time.

Born420...fantastic brotha! Have kit...will grow!:thumb::high-five:
 
Chugging along under the Gavita's.

When will we see some resin? I can still see green on some of these sugar leaves. I hope they hurry up.

I wanted to follow up with Doc and everyone else that chipped in with advice for my recent question about temp and humidity. You may recall I was running low 80s with lights on and 55-60%+ RH during the day, which as its been stated, are good numbers. The lights, LEDs, are fine by themselves. It's the dehumidifier that kicks the heat up. At night, the temp drops 4-5°, but the RH remains high. With the end of flowering rapidly approaching, I continue to work on lowering the RH.

My goal is to reduce the RH the last 2-3 weeks of flowers (today was day 47). Short of quickly purchasing a mini split which Doc Guarentees I will love here's what I've started doing.

I've turned off the dehum. during the day. This keeps the temps at 77-78 and RH at mid to upper 50s. At lights out, the dehum comes on reducing the RH. I'm still dialing in the dehum. settings, getting closer to the ideal RH each day. I still need to work on reducing temps at night, but I'm worrying less now that the day temps and night humidity are better controlled.

nematodenate, haven't consulted with niekodog yet bit will regarding adding a vent to the heat/AC run that goes through the grow room.

Thanks for the tips - this is a GREAT community! Cheers to all!

Is it possible for you to lower nighttime rH by simply adding in/out ventilation during night?

My rH is too low...I'm thinking of eliminating my dehuey as I think it only adds heat, and adding the 6gal 100$ humidifier unit from the home store to run during the day with the a/c and then just ventilate at night. Not sure if the thing will run on a timer, which would be ideal.

I do have in (8" passive) and out 6" (powered) ventilation, though the intake is from an adjacent room (basement) which is cooled and dehumidified. See my earlier post detailing this. A powered intake would help my situation for room air exchange, temp and RH.

BTW - I've run both a humidifier and dehumidifier on timers and they both work well.

? If your room RH is to low, why are you running a dehuey?

Phenomenal buds, once again, Doc! +REPS! :bravo:
 
How big is that pot from your roots shot doc? I'm starting to understand the importance of a healthy root ball. Forgive my ignorance but is that considered root bound in your pic?

Side note: I'm picking up my pro mix and ewc this morning and will get things cooking. Expect to see me get more active on here soon.

I'm excited to get started!

They say they're a gallon....probably more like 3/4 galllon. That plant is definitely rootbound! It needed a good dunking every single day. Bone dry by noon.

I culled that plant right after taking the pics, because I didn't have room for it. Normally, I'd have potted it up about a week earlier.

Notice the stem thickness, the tight internodes and the strength of the stem. That's what we want from vegging.
