Supergroomer - Back & Smaller Than Ever

[hockeybry2]

I wish I could get my room down to 30% haha I'll trade. Mine is too high for 8 months outta the year. Just right for the other 4.

I hear ha on that! I think this year I'm gonna aim to have all the girls chopped by June and take a break for the rest on the summer and start fresh in the fall and get jacked up for grow season!

I was sleeping at the switch and missed the start Supergroomer. Glad I found you, I'll be watching and learning.

what I had pretty good success with was putting Hydro-ton pellets in a large pan then fill with water and put directly inline with the fan as close as you can so the circulating air is constantly blowing over the hydro-ton. gives the pan a little more surface area for evaporation to occur. once you switch to bigger pots and they get a bit bigger you will be wishing for lower RH..lol

 

[Dave Groomer]

The pan of water in the room with a fan blowing on seems to have helped some. The room is at 45% and the tent is at 33%. I will see what it is at later (24 hours of having the fan running on the pan). That should be a good test.

That's a good increase. I'm my very first grow I started vegging in low humidity time of year and needed it a little higher for veg so I had put a space heater blowing into the side of a bucket of water to keep a continual bucket of warm water and that worked well but I just can't recommend havin a space heater running 24/7. But maybe a heat mat for clones under that pan of water would help. The warmer the water the more it's going to evaporate.

wet towel always does the trick for me

I transplanted the little ones into their next pot. They were moved from coffee cups to 2 gal pots. I will give them a couple weeks in these then move to 4 gal to finish. The light is 24" above the plants and my light meter shows over 30000 lux.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

That's a lot of light! Will they have those 2 gal pots rootbound in two weeks you think?

Root bound? No I don't think so. Roots filling out the bucket yes. I am trying to get them into their final pots as quick as I can so I get a big rootball in the 4 gallon pots.

i like to transplant in stages so they get a good rootball, seems that the roots tend to grow to the edge of the pots so i feel that if you let them grow in stages like that the roots fill in more of the soil. and looking good man, those plants will def not be hungry for light

 

[Dave Groomer]

Here is the next update. 3 weeks since they were first planted. They were each fimmed yesterday. I will probably wait one more week before transplanting them into the 4 gallon pots. Then if everything looks good, I may flip around X-mas. That is still to me decided.

Garden looks as good as the coffee smells

 

[arellanobrian]

they are staying short but look very happy with big leaves and no deficiencys

My girls are about the same age a little over 3 weeks. I was thinking of switching in about 2 weeks I'm using a 400 watt MH for veg and a Mars ll 1200 for flower

 

[glimmergrass]

Hi, super groomer! I'm so glad you're back! Good to see your new girls, too -- they look great. Subbed!

I will see how they are doing, but I think my plan is to flip around x-mas.

 

[Dave Groomer]

Now is when it starts to become more fun. I swear I can see them getting bigger by the day. I am so impatient. If I hadn't had to chop everything down a couple months ago, I would have 8-12 oz curing in jars right now. Now I am try to get hook up with a friend to purchase an oz. I didn't think I would be in that position again but we do what we have to do. Here are the new pics. I will be putting them in 4 gallon pots this weekend to let the root balls have time to fill out before the flip.

Thanks. She seems to be thriving!! The others are doing well too, but the BB seems to be just a little ahead of the other two.
