Hello all and welcome to my first official grow journal. Started some bag seed on my last grown and got 6 weeks into flower and everything went down hill.
Well here are the particulars of this grow
Strains: Special Kush(SK) and Special Queen(SQ)
Days in Veg: 16
Veg box: 20x26x30 cardboard box lines with reflective material
Flower grow tent 32x32x63
Hydro DWC 2.5 Gal buckets, rooted in rapid rooters
Medium: Hydroton
Veg light: 2' T5 6400k bulbs x2, 33w cfl bulb x 6
Flower light: 600w HPS with air cooled reflector
Veg box temps: low 74f high 88f
Flower tent temps: here's my issue: low 81f high 103f
No fans in veg box just cut holes in box no heat issues so I'm not messing with it.
Flower tent has a 6" can booster fan(I know it sucks) PUSHING air from inside the tent over the bulb and back out the tent and 6" can booster fan PULLING air as my intake. Currently have positive air pressure. These set ups change often as I'm trying to find the right set up. I've tried PUSHING cool air from outside tent over the bulb and back out the tent. Tried PUSHING AND PULLING air out the tent with only a passive intake(negative pressure) still the temps rise to the high 90's consistently.(that 90.7 in the pic is with my current set up described above after being on for 15min.)
RH of veg: lo 10% high 30%
RH of flower: lo 10% high 55%
PH of SK: 4.8
PH of SQ: 4.9 - just got my ph up and down today. Will adjust to above 5.5
Nutes used: General Hydroponics GMB base Nutes. Will be switching to Advance Nutrients GMB when these run out(only about 2oz left of GH)
PPM of SK: 419
PPM of SQ: 433
Now for the pics - excuse the quality hope the come out correctly. Any and all feedback is appreciated. I will do my best to keep up with this journal.
Thanks guys
