Hey people

Welcome to the loft.

I'm an soil grower using natural liquid feeds. A quick run down of what I am using.

Plant magic + for seedlings
H&G Batmix for mature plants
Vitax liquid seaweed
Humbolt EQ
Plant magic bio silicon
Biobizz fishmix
Plant magic OT bloom

Running 900w at the moment. A 400w hps, 250w hps and 250w MH. In winter I would like to having two 400w hps running along with a single 250w MH.

Were are currently at day 32 12/12 and I have been fighting a mildew problem but thankfully I have almost won. Just keeping on top on any signs of spots.

Strains I'm running at the mo

1x Originaldawg (Original Diesel X Trestardawg) - A cut I found the first time I tested this cross.
2x Medihaze - CBD Crew
1x Stardawg f2 - East Coast Gen
2x Gorilla Grape f6 - KDS
1x Unknown Lemon Indica - A cut I found in some Skunk1 autos. mislabelled as it a photoperiod and nothing like skunk1, not even close.
1x Smottie Remixed - An unchecked male smottie v3b had his way with some UK clones and some smottie females.
1x Blues/Livers - UK clone

nice looking plants

do you not get heat issues this time of year or do you vent outside ?

top work vic thanks for sharing ya room pics with us

Thanks fellas

Edgey if its a warm day outside then it does get hot but I am failing to see any signs of heat stress on the plants. I'm not far from the coldest place in the UK so most of the time it's getting the roots warm even in summer. I do not vent outside, I like to know if my filters failing before my neighbours do. I have a fresh air inlet in the loft which I opened up and used as a fresh air intake but we had a few wet days and then I started to get the mildew problem so I put it back to passive intakes pulling from the loft air. There is good air exchange in there, modern house

Are you running a dehumidifier ?

I have a one but I have not used it this summer. I have raised the temps and lowered the humidity by changing the intakes. I may run it at lights out if the mildew persists.
