LOL bro! I also read somewhere that at this point...... See her, feel her, love her...Some caressing is allowed as long as it's latex..Hi @Azimuth, thanks now I read @Krissi1982, the thread about plant drought I was very interested in it so I've read enough now but somehow I don't know when to start stressing drought? Now my 7th week of flowering is over and according to genetics they should be finished between 7 and 9 weeks, should I follow the trichome or something else? Is there a way to know this correctly with the least possible risk? Thanks to all the tips
I'd go back to the input @Jon gave when I brought it up a few pages back. If you do decide to try it, try it on only one plant, your least favorite.Hi @Azimuth, thanks now I read @Krissi1982, the thread about plant drought I was very interested in it so I've read enough now but somehow I don't know when to start stressing drought?

. Here I have taken some photos of critical plants.
No downside to this tent, @Kanno26! Yes, they should be at about the point where they slow their water intake just like you're seeing. Also notice in this last picture that your leaves (the big fans) are beginning to cannibalize themselves. I can already see you are going to have a nice fade going on over the next however much time. It's as good as it can be. Great work........showoff. (LOL @Azimuth!!!)Hi everyone, have a nice day. Today I have 51 days of flowering and I would normally have to water in the morning and in the morning I found out that it was not necessary. So I'm starting to think it's approaching the ripening phase, and according to the trichome check, I'm starting to see a lot of dairy and a couple of amber. So I think they will be done around the eighth week, which will be sometime next week and that's great
And here is the biggest bud of every plant
That's all for today, thanks to everyone for stopping by.
Hi Jon. 3 times per hour is like the minium requirement, but in some cases very useful if for example extra CO2 is provided.
Like that you just prob get most out of extra CO2 supply. Ye this true. It does not harm the plants even if the tent walls are dented inwards due to hard negative pressure
Hi @Verbalist. Yep, I'm with you on this 100%. I am also using passive now on Titan's tent, as it's the only way I can keep the temperature low when it's 98 degrees in the garage. I open one upper corner of the main door of the 3x3 maybe six inches each way to create a space for outflow and blast the crap out of the AC. You can tell when your opening is adequate when the tent stops ballooning, you know? If I have the Infinity fan/filter on even the lowest setting, since it's on the floor, it sucks the cold air right out and the temperature rises above 85 when it's hot in the garage. Passive solved it. That keeps me at 85 or less at cola height, which is where I always want it cut off as I have no CO2. Yet. Lol. Of course a system is in my future. Imagine my current tent with an 800 watt light and a dedicated CO2 system. Those buds would be even bigger, and temperature would be irrelevant. So I must have one at some point, and I'm glad I graduated from the silly CO2 bags I used at first. What a waste of coin those things are, lol. However, a GREAT use of coin is the extra set of CFM bars I got for the Gorilla 5x5. They not only hold the tent against hourglassing and give you a couple extra inches all around, which is awesome, but they also give you infinity amount of space/things to attach stuff to, like fans or buds or whatever. I want them for all my tents.Hi Jon. 3 times per hour is like the minium requirement, but in some cases very useful if for example extra CO2 is provided.
Generally the ideal exchange would be every five minutes. So 3 times per hour would be then every 20 mins. And if you've got a strong extractor fan which can change the full tent volume in couple of minutes then every twenty minutes wont be too bad if you've got something to push new air inside the tent for a least a bit. Thinking more about it even a human could almost spent about twenty mins inside the 3m3 tent without constant air flow.
Folks seem to be using mostly passive intake flow nowadays, so that basicly requires a constantly running extraction fan. For two things to keep the intake flowing and drawing moist air out.
If the intake is passive and you shut down the extraction fan then the air inside the tent move at all. In that way the plants prob start sweating after 10mins which then creates way too much condensation.
Ye this true. It does not harm the plants even if the tent walls are dented inwards due to hard negative pressure
Hey KannoHi everyone, I have a question for you, there was a huge storm last night and there was a power outage for five hours. The cool thing is the girls had a night and the lights didn't shine so it's good but the dehumidifier and all the fans and exhaust air stopped working. And at five o'clock my humidity rose to 96%! So I ask can it have any effect on my critical plants? Everything is running normally now. Thanks to everyone for the tips
Good morning my friend.
Good morning @Bill284, thanks I'm just asking for sure I'm sureHey Kanno
Your garden makes me smile.
If you have things under control now a few hrs won't matter.
Just keep it under control now.
Stay safe
Bill
. I was nervous about it when my RH rose so much. Have a nice day friend.
Finally a question I can answer.Good morning @Bill284, thanks I'm just asking for sure I'm sure
I see you there. I always forget that you americans got all the fancy AC units. That prob makes life whole lot easier.Hi @Verbalist. Yep, I'm with you on this 100%.

Thanks for the response and the discussion! I learn shit from you.
Morning @Kanno26 - Sensei already said it. Worry not. Once in a while for it to go like that is no big deal at all. Especially when it was so brief. I much prefer my power outages to happen during lights out anyway, because the light interruption during daylight hours really bugs the shit out of me. It happens though. Again, just like a really humid or rainy day in nature. No big deal. If you ever do get a daylight hours power outage and have no light when you should, simply open the tent doors and get as much ambient light on them as you can until you get the outage fixed. It's going to happen at some point, it always does, lmao! Just don't stress it, occasional brief episodes of shit aren't any big deal at all to healthy plants like yours.Hi everyone, I have a question for you, there was a huge storm last night and there was a power outage for five hours.

Ouch. Don't think the outage or temporary humidity spike wont do much.
Well I guess you could try to apply that on yours shortly. If you want to try that "stress test" for more terps and trichomes.
Go radical and go big or go home, @Verbalist? I'd love to see someone display the intentional stem split. Do you have such a thing in one of your journals I can check out? Of course, getting @Kanno26 to take a knife to his prizes might be a tough sell, lol.Ouch. Don't think the outage or temporary humidity spike wont do much.
As Azimuth said get some fans blowing on them. So if there is excess moisture inside the buds fans should dry them down.
Also remember back in the days you asked me about the stem splitting.
V
. And all the fans are set on the tops of the plants so it will be good I have left over the last few days I think.
First time tried it on my photo NL's. Here, journal page 7 and page 5 are some photos about it. Well there wasn't nothing really to compare with. Also tried it 2nd time on some autoflower or then it was a NL clone. Can't remember.
Droughting and ice water/cubes are imho also good "stress tests".I think also used nail once. Usually I've secured the stalk with cable ties before doing the cut and pushed something through so it wouldn’t heal. Like this
