Quick update. We are having major problems keeping down the humidity. In the first room we have 6 70 gallon rezes and 11 in the other. It's running 70% give or take a few during lights out and 50% give or take a few with lights on. That on top of the rain we had about 10 days back has allowed some powder mildew to show up. It's only on leaves right now which I've been removing when spotted. The MVTF and Chem x OG are having the most issues with it. The bubba seems resistent and the bonanna is only getting a little. They got their second sulfur burn today and I'll probably run it 2 more times this week, hopefully by then we'll have the humidity figured out. We already have a few 128 pint dehumidifiers but they don't do much. Looking into industrial desiccant dehumidifiers, they supposedly can get the humidity down into single digits if desired. Besides the pm everything looks and smells awesome. Lots of purple already showing up, but I'm pretty sure with the pm nothing will get to go to it's full potential, probably end up chopping asap. Today is day 31 by the way. These pics are 4 or so days old, taking more today. Laterz

impressive!
..don't know how I missed this..
:joint:
edit: didnt even see the powdery mildew thing, I replied back around page 2 or 3..:bashhead:
you ever try Greencure? just try to raise the ph of the leaves a little. maybe a 3% peroxide spray?
I know you're in flower so try to keep the spray off the buds..

Overkill is under-rated.

Powerdery mildew is actually kinda systemic, the powder on the leaves is just what you can see. THe whole plant is infected though, just so you know! Bigger dehuey, more sulfur, more oscillating fans all help.

2stoge- I'm running it every 3rd night for about 6 hours. Most people I've spoke with say 4 but then I tell them the size of the room and they say go longer. I only want to run it 1 or 2 more times cause we're getting kind of far into flower now.

cellar- Never tried it but will doing some reading on it now. The sulfur burner is suppose to do the same thing raise the ph.

Lazy- Yeah, I'm just trying to keep it under control, would really hate to have this crop go to waste. We have 16" Eco wall fans every 4 feet right now. In the new room we have the 18" air kings which seem to move a lot more air so as soon as I empty this room I'll be swapping everything out to the 18". Thinking about getting the rez's out of the room as well. I rented a couple more dehumidifiers yesterday and lights on was hovering at 45% lights out is still 60%. What kind of schedule would you recommend for the sulfur? It's my first time using it.

brown- Thanks man! I'm really happy with everything but the PM, I've been bringing in friends every night to walk the room with scissors and remove as much as possible. You will definitely get to see the finished results, 25-30 more days!

Quick update. Well things are going pretty good. A couple tables will be getting flushed today and be on plain water until they're ready. They could go longer but the mvtf and og x chem are pm magnets and they need to get pulled plus the mvtf has been throwing some hermies. Humidity is still a big problem, but hopefully we'll have a huge industrial dessicant dehumidifier in 4 weeks, it can pull 6 gallons an hour. Room 2 is about 25 days in now and everything so far is going good. For nutes I think we'll be using GH over the custom ones we were getting. The GH tables are packing on way more weight while the custom blend ones smell better and have more trichome development. Also will be trying some AN stuff next run. I'm hoping to pull 15+ lbs out of room 1. I have 10 trimmers lined up to work 6 hours each a day, anyone care to guess how many days to get it done? The boss thinks it'll take a couple weeks I'm hoping for under a week. Anyways, here's a few new pics I'm sick again for the third time this run which really sucks. I'll get the macro lens on and take some better pics in the next couple days. Peace

MVTF this stuff is purple and smells great

Some Dirt, out of hydro equipment for the time being and I have tons of extra clones and lights, so dirt it is.

Clones all set so the room will only be empty long enough to clean.

10 trimmers 6 hours a day for 15 lbs?... are they experienced? hand trimming? allowed breaks?

no way will it take a couple weeks, unless you hired UNION trimmers... even a week for that matter...

good luck on the final numbers...

None of them have experience, but still I'm thinking 4 days max. The ones that do good get to come back for the second rooms harvest. Gave 4 tables the flush yesterday and now I'm thinking 15 lbs won't happen. I'm picking up some new nutes today to switch over room 2 before it's too late. All the tables on the custom blend stopped packing on weight about 10-14 days ago so it's going to kill the final #.
