Room: 9X11
tent: 4X8
Vertical Bare Bulb: 1k, 600 HPS
12/12 start date 7/8
Stats:
temps on 86-88
temps off 80-84
Humidity on 65-70%
Humididty off 70-94% (Saw that 94 today late afternoon, crazy)
Will bring humidity to 50% after stretch
CO2 1400-1450
9 Agent Orange, vegged 38 days flipped at 21-23" X nearly that in width, supercropped and LST
1 agent orange mother plant
1 red diesel motherplant test
Medium:
-9 AO from clones in 2 part coco, 1 part perlite
-AO mother and red diesel in Happy frog
-7 gallon smart pots with 1" hydroton in bottom
Neuts:
-CNS 17 grow/bloom/ripe
-Liquid karma
-Aqua Shield
-CalMg
-Silica blast
-Tarantula
-Piranaha
-H&G root excellerator
-Liquid Sweet
-Clearex or whatever flushing solution is called
-RO water
-PH 5.8
-900ppm until i read some older posts of DHF today, 700 from here on out
Hardware:
-water cooled CO2 generator
- 2 Ice Boxes
-1/2hp ecoplus commercial grade water chiller
-dehumidifier, upgrading to water chilled dehuey after harvest
room is sealed except for door, tent is setup with one whole side unzipped and open. initial concept was to run closed but was unable to control temp's. This room attaches to main basement area mabey 4 times the size, rectangular. water chiller sits in main area with one of ballasts. a four inch inline exhausts out basement.
Due to constraints beyond control at this point, I am unable to bring in enough fresh air for the 2X per minute exchange required. This necessitates the CO2. Perhaps falling victim to marketing hype, i went with a water chiller for environmental control. The upsides are: reduced electricity needs verse A/C, and can cool air, CO2 gen, and deheuy.(Supposedly deheuy blows cold air! with both deheuys i could blow cold air lights on and use regular warm air dehuey for lights off, aiding low differential) There are claims of water having better cooling capacity than air but am unaware of what/how other factors could reduce its effectiveness in our application.
five plants on each side, ignoring red diesel as its a small guy and takes up no space. Plants started in 1 gallon plant warriors, which were horrible compared to airpots root porn. transplanted to 7 gal SP's 2-2.5 weeks before flip.

Just started day 3 and am wondering about pruning. I understand there is a pruning at the end of stretch, but is it just to remove leaves for light penetration? When can I prune all the branches off the backside? They have been grown vertical nearly all of life but there are still a couple branches on back that need to go. Do i wait until end of stretch and do it all then, or do i need to do it now? If i cut now do i add stress or is there a benefit to pruning before stretch? They were supercropped, and a couple twice.... Come to think of it, was that a mistake? When i transplanted to Sp's i pruned up the bottom a little, but they were still small, bout 1 foot square bushes.
