MAC (miracle alien cookies)
Flip +48
Sue grow area

The grow area is running normally.

The PH has been stable for a few days.

I've been checking and adjusting when necessary three times a day and topping up the reservoir once a day. Reservoir change tomorrow.

The flowers continue to build and mature at the same time. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Flip +50
Sue grow area

The grow area is running normally.

i named my grow areas Sally and Sue after a 1977 Jackson Browne song from the album Running on Empty, called Cocaine. The lyrics explain my naming and I find the song more like the experience, than the JJ Cale version. :hmmmm:

PH took a little dive since my last check, yesterday. :oops:

Adjusted back to 6-6.5.

The plants are looking good and the buds are growing nicely.

Just stopped in to say hello. Hello.

The plants are looking great but I saw a mention of high RH. How's the wind speed in/under the canopy? I see all that beautiful flower and would hate to see bud rot set in.

Hey man everything is lookin nice and chunky in there!! Happy Tuesday!!

Glad you stopped by Delps8

No problems with the RH.

It's lights out at the moment and my sensors say 47% and 43% in the two grow areas. :love:

The dehumidifier is handling the large moisture output of the flowering plants. :cheer:

It would be dripping wet in there without it. :hmmmm:

@gwhunran what kind of dehumidifier are you using? I’m going to need to grab one in the next month or so for my current grow.

Herbies says 60 something days from flip. No hurry though.

Midea 4,500 Sq. Ft. Energy Star Certified Dehumidifier With Reusable Air Filter 50 Pint - Ideal For Basements, Large & Medium Sized Rooms, And Bathrooms I couldn't get the Amazon link to work. It showed $239 as a price.

This is the one I got.

It handles my 500 cubic feet of growing space.

The specs are meaningless when your talking about a space full of flowering plants. I've read that most of the water that they drink ends up in the air, not within the plant. :hmmmm:

Good to hear. 47% is great!

Link didn’t work but I just got one from @VIVOSUN that was marked down and the reviews said it works for 5x5 tents. I’m only 4x4 so should be good

No mas bud rot!

Sometimes I notice the sensors at 58% but it works it's way back down.

Got fans running, ACs running, and the plants drinking heavy and making big buds.

It'll be lower at floor level where the dehumidifier sits. Setting it at 35% keeps the room in the 40% and 50% range with large plants.

MAC (miracle alien cookies)
Flip +52
Sue grow area

The grow area is running normally.

Not much different.

I used a few of the long fuzzy pipe cleaners to pull some of the stalks more upright. The ones nearest the front were leaning into my "working area".

Plus it makes a better picture. :cheer:

The PH seems to be smoothing out.

If there's a pattern, it's that it drops too much for a couple of days after a reservoir change, and then becomes normal again with very little deviation with the high ph tap water top ups every day and stays in the desired 6-6.5 range. :hmmmm:

The flowers are looking good and frosting up nicely. :love:

They've been fun to watch fill in.

It's interesting how some strains seem to spiral when they grow. :hmmmm:

The smell is wonderful and is permeating the immediate area around the grow. :oops:

It's a good thing it's legal now and no foot traffic anywhere near them.

Sue grow area

The grow area is running normally.

The reservoir was changed this morning. Added recommended amounts of General Hydroponics three part liquid nutrients for 17 gallons in Ripen. Added a spoonful of epsom salts and 40ml CalMag+. The PH was in the 6-6.5 range without adding PH down. PH up was added this afternoon to keep it near the top of the desired range at lights out.

The plants are looking good and the flowers continue to ripen and frost up.
