Hello all.
It's Day 22 for the New Trick babies and I'm dealing with a heat issue.
We are having a little heatwave here. Yesterday's high was 78F (avg. high for this time of year is 54F). Today's forecast is for a high of 80F.
Making matters worse, the heat in my house is still on, set to low. I can't turn it off because it's still chilly at night (plus, the heatwave is supposed to end after tomorrow).
WHAT TO BELIEVE?
I have 2 hygrometers in play in my 5x5 tent. One is a stand-alone where temps and humidity are read directly from the unit. The other is a sensor, which relays the info. to a display unit in my man cave.
The stand-alone data (88.1F, 38%):
The remote sensor data:
This is nuts! I don't know which to believe. One thing's for certain, it's hot in my tent.
The Phlizon FD8000 runs hot, much hotter than the light it replaced. I'm leaving the tent doors open during the period when the lights are on. But I'm also running the light at 100%, hung high. I'm considering reducing the power and lowering the light. That should help a little bit.
I positioned the lights up high at full blast because it gave me the proper intensity for the moment. I want the plants to grow up into the light while adjusting the light's intensity as needed. Why? Because the way my tent is designed (it narrows at the top) makes raising and lowering that "big" light a PITA.
The tent is 6 feet tall but space is at a premium where it narrows near the top. It barely gives me enough room to get in there and adjust the light. It doesn't help that I'm 6 feet four inches tall and have a larger than average head!
Anyhow, that's what I'm dealing with at the moment. I'll try to figure something out.

My wife tells me I weaken the nation thinking! Yeah, she's a stooge's fan!
That's funny!
What a light! Have many pounds come from it Brother!
Thanks Stone! The light is more suited to a grow room than a tent, IMO, but I'm going to try and make the most of it!
They're looking well and the Cosmic Lights seems to be picking up nicely.
Thanks Stunger.
CL is a diva. There's always at least one!
I don't see any issues with them, well developing girls, soon to be tall and buddy!
Thank you GNY. And thanks for visiting my spot! Please don't forget to sign the guest registry.
They all look lovely! Cosmic Light is getting better looking. Great to see that! They all have great color and look like they want to perform for you (and us)! Great looking brood!! Happy Smokin'
Thanks Bode. I remain hopeful that the CL will come around!
I'm glad you chose to SWICK! They look great today!
Thanks Stone. I hope I didn't make a mistake doing so. I didn't realize that the Ph of water is not constant. So I have to Ph everytime I water, not just when the big bucket of water is first created. The Lazy-Meter is starting to chirp a little!
hope ur writing this down i am already confused on witch gets what
Still looking good !
Thanks Smoke.
I write down nearly everything, but I need to make better use of my notes. Doesn't do any good to document what you do if you never take advantage of the info.
Another week and their will be no stopping them! They are definitely happy
Thanks GV. I hope your prediction proves accurate!
Congratulations on the transplants and the move to the grownup table! Any chance that enormous fan is on, or just intimidating the CL by its mere presence?
Thanks Shed.
Yes, that big fan is on, aimed at the wall and circulating all of the air in the tent.
She's finally ready to get serious..
Great looking bunch, GDB!
Thanks Carcass. I like serious!
Ducky style!
Quack!
Don't know if I want to scare them that much SOG.
Maybe I'll put a dinner fork in there. No, a salad fork. That might shake 'em up a bit!
