Just had the wife check the plant it looks better than this morning... I thought for sure it was a goner this morning. Pics are current. This morning watered for twice the normal time about an hour and a half before the lights went out.

they are resilient bastards, i had one or two that i thought were goners for sure and they came back.

i wont know if my flush really worked until i see it in person tonight when i get home from work. hopefully it was as simple as my fuckup leaving the pump schedule off while i filled the reservoir...

p0opstlnksal0t · Feb 27, 2018

Fixed the leaf dropper. She's looking good now. My only sativa leaning strain would have been a shame to lose her.

Desert Hydro · Mar 1, 2018

are those flowering yet? if not youre gonna have your hands full lol. when i flipped i thought i had jumped the gun and now im glad i did it when i did. they are MONSTERS and perfect size to fill in the canopy. im creeping up on three weeks i think

p0opstlnksal0t · Mar 1, 2018

It's fucking crowded bro. We will see over the next few weeks how crowded it may get. I'm 11 days into flower now

p0opstlnksal0t · Mar 6, 2018

I keep chasing droopy/wilting plants that keep cropping up as the days go on. I'm sure it has something to do with my watering times/schedule I've now added a 6th watering time. Lights come on at 9pm first water happens at 930pm then consecutively every 2 hours for 50nseconds. I was at 40nseconds each but have now bumped it up another 10 seconds. I've also added a last watering cycle at 730pm. Before I added this last watering cycle the last water ended at 530pm. Lights go off at 9am and in water once right in the middle of lights off for 1 minute 20 seconds.

Had a cotter pin pop out on my exhaust damper axle leaving it inoperable overnight and the room heated up to 97 degrees. Hopefully no.damage everything looks fine. We will see over the next day or so. I'm also running around trying to support colas as they are toppling over lol. Could be worse I guess.

I didnt even plan this but harvest time ended up on 4:20 this weekend! ha

James Howlett · Apr 24, 2018

How was the harvest?

p0opstlnksal0t · Apr 24, 2018

It looked ok. I did have more larf than I would have like. I learned a lot and will make many tweaks next go around. I won't have numbers for a few weeks while things get dried and cured.

Frigen awesome! You did it ok in my book. :laughing:

You tackled a lot of Maine crap this grow to boot.

Wow... that's actually a home gym that invites to workout! : :laughing:

Kudos for the grow!

p0opstlnksal0t · May 1, 2018

my cure cabinet was a bust. i had way more bud that could have ever fit in there. I will be using the same concept next go round but the whole basement will be climate controlled into a humidor for a few weeks while shit gets dried and cured. i may use this 4x4 tent as dark storage for turkey bags full of trimmed buds.

the Sonoff plugs are working good at maintaining the humidity i want down in the whole basement.

i will tweak my Fail open and Fail closed electric dampers to remain 10-20% open so that there is always a constant vacuum/suction on the room. i think this will help stabilize my 15% RH swings everytime they vent the heat out.

I will definitely do a better job of shaving off/pruning all LARF and lower bud sites during the entire grow. i've got lots of airy popcorn and larf.

Also i will need to get a shitload of bamboo stakes, everything was toppling over the last week i harvested and i dont think i need to flush for 2 weeks, that was overkill 1 week should do me fine.

p0opstlnksal0t · May 7, 2018

Ive got about 5 lbs trimmed so far. by my estimations of whats left to trim we will be around 10-11lb trimmed weight. with a more dialed in room im hoping the next run we can see at least 2 units per light.

p0opstlnksal0t · May 30, 2018

so i have this 1700cfm exhaust for temp control. the intake is passive through two 12x24 hvac returns that draw air from the unconditioned side of the garage. as air is sucked passively through these returns fresh air from outside is drawn into the unconditioned portion of the garage via soffit vents.

the problem is that when this exhaust is running full blast to keep the room under 90 F in middle of summer the humidity in the room is only around 25% RH. even with two 1.4 gph humidifiers blasting full force its only able to raise the RH up 1 or 2 RH percentage points.

for some reason the humidity outside the garage could be 50-60% but as it gets drawn into the flower room its only 25% rh. Am i creating this issue by passively drawing air into the unconditioned part of the garage first where temp fluctuations cause the rh to drop significantly? would i fix this issue by directly drawing fresh air in from outside?

lite2leaf · Jun 18, 2018

Humidity changes by a factor of 2x for every 10 degrees C or 18 degrees F. So if the outside air is 60F and %100 humidity, it would only be %50 humidity at 78F in your garage.

Humidity has a strong temperature aspect. Hope this helps you figure out what you need to do.

p0opstlnksal0t · Aug 8, 2018

Pics are about a week apart. The last pic was 2 weeks ago. I'll flip soon. I have added a 12" fresh air Intake direct from outside with a filter box and 2x 8" hurricane after burner fans. Along with programming my controller to dim at 89 degrees and shut off half the lights at 95 degrees temps during nbn g the hottest part of the day creep from low 80s at night to mid 90s during the hottest peak.

I'm running some blue dream, greenpoint pbog x bruce banner, gmo cookies and gg4 this run

Mr Blah · Aug 10, 2018

Looking good. Sure has been hot lately up here. This is not the Maine that I grew up in. Today is great for growing and everything else in between. :biggrin:

Question; is the water in the bottom buckets pushing back to the control bucket or are you doing an undercurrent thing?
