Spart's Ongoing Terrace Autos

[420Amard]

she's drooping more and more. I got an actual fan in there now blowing on the light but the temp has jumped to 30... Should i not have it pointing up to the light and more to the canopy it's weird for the temp to go up so much no??

 

[420Amard]

checked before lights out she's DROOPY and it was 32 in there right before lights out...... gotta figure this out sooner then later.... maybe a fan infront of the passive intake I dunno I gotta figure this out and it's gotta be free my wife will kill me if this grow cost anything more

 

[Bapple]

Can't help I'm rubbish at anything indoors.....

 

[420Amard]

so am i apparently LOL

 

[Bapple]

I have read around the forum that they droop just before lights out.... Apart from the drooping is there anything else you can see?

 

[420Amard]

Yeah i know some strains droop at night but she's been droopy all day it's caused by the heat. I've had outdoor plants do that before but a constant temp of 32* in such a small place is causing the droop also she didn't need watering today because the temp was so hot she was trying to conserve the moisture in her leaves so she closed off her pores (best description i can come up with right now) so she doesn't up take the water. I need to get this temp down I've now got the exhaust going out of the room and am going to get a intake pipe coming from a cooler part of the room. The night temps in the room are high teens low 20s. I gotta figure thos out before she dies...

 

[420Amard]

well lights are off in the tent current temp is 21 and she perky perky like completely fine perky. I kept the light off in the room and used a green light to check her and the temp

 

[Black Thumbs]

When I was using hps I had to have 1 fan on the bulb directed at exhaust and one on the canopy with the intake pipe right behind the fan.It helped to drop the temp from 33 to 28ish

 

[420Amard]

thanks man i'll give that a try i can leave the door of the tent open but she'll stink eventually... Just checked her before lights on and it was 20.4 in thete and she looked hppy the pot seemed semi heavy still which means she hasn't been drinking I need to get these temps sorted soon before she gets root rot.

 

[420Amard]

She seems alright now but lights just came on 10 minutes ago and its already 24* in there if it stays at 24 then awesome my stressing and moving stuff around worked and happy days. Maybe I'll get an led.

 

[420Amard]

well that was a short lived victory temps are right back up in the low 30* and she's right back drooping like crazy

 

[420Amard]

i got it sitting at a nice 26.8 right now but that's with no carbon filter... Should i lower the filter to next to the light?? I was thinking maybe i had to many bends in the hose in the ten or that i should have the filter vertically in the tent so theres less bends

 

[420Amard]

Put the filter on and it's sitting at about 29 and that's with all the re arranging i did

 

[420Amard]

maybe i need to sort out switching it from lights on during the day to at night .... Not sure how to do this while the plant is in there i'm guessing gradually over the next two weeks or so i'll start setting the clock back an hour each day on the timer 8am on the next day 7am the next 6am and so on til i get it to say 8pm to 8am on/off...

Nvm got my answer!!

Gonna leave her lights out til tomorrow at 8pm then she'll have lights on at night instead of during the day hopefully this drops her a few degrees to the sweet spot. Current temp is staying steady at 30* rh is always about the same 40%-50%

Hey Spart!

She is in preflower, be careful not to stress her out. The day and night temperatures outside right now are fine right? Perhaps you could leave her outdoors for the moment until you dial in your tent?

 

[420Amard]

It'll fuck her up I think different spectrum again and she'll want to go into veg again because my terrace is so light up by street lights at night the temp right now is still sitting at 30* so if i run the light at night by all rights it should sit about 26ish

 

[420Amard]

Got another fan in the room blowing the cooler ait from the hallway into that room and temps are staying at a cool 26* my plan is to have this at a constant with out the door of the tent open. Thanks for the input baps this shot is frustrating I'm starting to think I should of just of bought the tent with fan/carbon filter to force flowering plants and drying. ..

 

[420Amard]

I'll do a full update later with BB she's week two today. I haven't been paying to much attention to her since getting the tent. Almost made up a nute mix for week two but remembered she's got the aptus pellets in the soil... During the night temps in the tent are 19 no light during the day the ambient temps in the room are about 24 so i should see a drop in temps of probably 5* which will bring it maybe 24-25* and steady throughout the day. I'll see tonight tho. Thanks to everyone along for the ride

 

[420Amard]

Got some time to kill right now so a few photos on BB. She's still getting 2ml/l root juice and probably next week she'll start flowering so I'll lower the root juice then and start with alg-a-mic. Again she has the aptus all in one "rabbit food pellets" I've come to call em. Been using them with loads of things even my peppers got a few of them in the peppers. She looks green and healthy but it's to soon to tell I don't think she's even hit one of the pellets of goodness. When she's done I'm gonna go threw the soil and see if I can find one of the pellets and see the root growth around it.

popped my hand in the tent for her first night time photo she looks happy with light out lol
