Aeroguerilla- I have to move the plants around for watering, raising the lights and other task so a fixed screen is not in my future. I feel I do a decent enough job with this slow moving girl and my hands.
Third Coast- It is! It is not getting any cooler either.
Ido- thanks man, I actually had the AC running for a few months though before the transformer took a shit. On the short list for an upgrade is a 2.5ton Mr. Slim P series. Will be nice to have some extra cooling, I will add 4K to flower and if one goes down and I can make do, backup AC! The P series are pricey but they handle low outdoor temps simliar to the excel.
czachtb2- Yup Michigan here
Bog- Good to see you made it here! Always nice to have you and your wisdom around. Bog I am experiencing that as well, I think 85F canopy temps are a little to hot. I am still dialing this room in this round I learned a few things that's for sure. Your welcome for the thread sir I am always trying to represent in my opinion the best indica smoke out there, everything you release is near perfection, keep it up! 58 days is pretty much perfect for this clone as well, I feel the earlier I pull it the more paranoia it has, this shit can put you down. I think a little later calms her down and I love the colors.
I agree about chocolate and lime to, my clone always smells like chocolate after it is hanging for a couple days and around day 14 the sour comes back nicely everytime. Yes I am trying to push this plant to its limits in the yield department. It isn't the biggest yielding plant but it is quality and you can never have enough quality, it nevers sits. My next two rounds in this room will be straight sour bubble as well, she is the perfect plant for dialing in the new setup since she is so hardy, room for mistakes.
Alright IC we are nearing the end of flower, todays is day 51 12/12 +/- for transformer error. Everything seems to be right on schedule. I learned some things this round for sure, it was ncie to get a mono crop through this room with all the lights in place finally. Things I learned or will do differently next time.
1. Richer soil mix
2. EWC tea rocks
3. Keep temps a little cooler, 80-82F canopy and co2 a touch lower, 1200-1300ppm. Still playing around with this but this is what I am going to go with and see what happens, trial and error.
4. These aircooled hoods non aircooled suck, they direct heat down and make some nice hotspots, not allowing me to get the hoods as close as I would like. Next round I am going to duct one side of each hood and hook up suffcient fans. No glass no air going all the way through but creating a vaccuum on one side of the hood to suck the heat away. The heat will be ran and dumped right at the AC intake.
5. Turn down my fan that blows air from veg into flower, it is causing positive pressure in the room making it harder for the ac to blow cool air in the flower room, so more cool air goes to the veg area. Also cover a couple ac vents in veg to force more airflow into flower.
6. Don't get caught with your pants down, get a backup AC/heater.
So by working on those 6 issues next round will be that much better, and honestly loosing 10 days in early flower do to low light and no ac will be a major factor to doing better yield wise.
Otherwise I am very satisfied with how everything is going, no matter what I get it will be enough to get out of the hole on this build and get me out of the red and in the green.
Getting pure RO water, fall is here, and temps have been turned down, time to pretty up ladies! They are still stacking new calyxs and swelling. They are dense and greasy, and the smell seems to be very strong this round, sour as hell. I will start harvest at day 56, and since it will pretty much be me trimming this room I better get started. I need to get everything trimmed and drying, room cleaned and changes made, and bang this baby back into 12/12.
I have 28 sour bubbles in 20 gallon smartpots in a new soil recipe, simliar but new amendments and amounts. They won't be as big as these I don't think, they still have 2.5 weeks to veg out but I guessing they won't be. If there is any space leftover I have a 20 gallon deathstar mama I just trimmed way back and I am going to blow that up.
Also currently in flower I have 10 smaller plants, mostly 3 gallon containers. They are on shelfs scattered here and there getting side lighting where they can. I always run seed plants in side lighting. I have 4 Jedi kush f2's going, a couple different deathstar phenos most likely leaning towards thier mom, and two shorter phenos leaning 95 sensi star or SFV ogk. One short pheno is like a head of lettuce, so bushy and full, I love it. Ranger rick made these seeds, he used his keeper Jedi Kush female and 5 different jedi kush males.
Along with those I popped 5 of my Sour Biesel seeds and 4 ended up being female, they are farther along in flower, like 4 weeks. They are looking good, awesome structure. 2 sour bubble 3 gallon plants are in there at 2.5 weeks themselves, they will be recieving pollen from reversed ecsd and deathstar.
It feels good, I started working on the design, parts, building, and all that mess 11 months ago, finally I am seeing the results and it can only get better from here. It was a hard ass grind, I tooke on a lot of living expenses and took a SHIT ton of risk.
Long post, my girlfriend just commented, "are you really typing!?" I guess I am making the keyboard smoke! Sorry for any typos.
