I think my heat's been on this June more than it was back in 2023, the spring where it rained 26 out of 28 days!

I'm guessing you're having fairly similar weather

Hey, good day, Yes we haven't had many nice days yet, although were at 3 days in a row now no rain, even some sun yesterday and today...its almost like Spring ...1 week before Summer. The heat is still on in my tent and the furnace still runs at night. Alls good for my grows though, I can manage these temps, RH is a pain though fken dehues running full time again just to stay in the low 60's. I'm 2 weeks into flower and I'm trying to get the RH into the 50's.....42% at my desk top, 62% in the tent

The girls are looking good! I'm following along with all these different lights you're using, it's interesting to see the results

Same here with the weather, the humidity is in the low 60s overnight but it dropped to 56% when the sun came out a while ago. We're having upper 40's temperatures overnight still

My vegetable garden's just sitting there I used that weed block plastic for the first time this year and it's already saved me hours of labor weeding, but it's not growing!

I imagine it will take off when the hot sunny weather finally hits, I'm already getting some jalapenos forming, don't have much this year just tomatoes, jalapenos and a couple of Italian herbs in the one Garden

Have a great Sunday, it's nice and sunny here so I'm going to go sit out and read the paper!

My wife has some stuff in outside pots but nothing much is coming up. 10c this am only about 16c now. I spend so much time in my workshop I don't see the sun some days much at all, specially winter and it becomes a habit, winter is so long. I'm a bit of a mole anyways.

I had to shut off the red at lights out, I was hoping the blues would counteract the reds but after just one week they've stretched 2 feet at least some more. All I've noticed unusual is 2 plants went to flower fast and had small buds at 10 days 3-4 days faster that the rest.

I'm running the Blues with my other lights at 100% my Green at 100% and my FC4000-EVO's about 80% with about 57,000 lux across the tops of the canopy. I could max the light to about 70,000 at 13" but my leaves are happy as is.

My plants are growing very well they've jumped a lot over the last week. I'm running Blues and the Green with lights on and reds 15 min at lights out. They're 2 weeks into flower tomorrow.

I've shut the light off on my try at revegging, nothing has moved and it looks worse every day so 2 days ago I shut the light off.

I finely got all the parts I needed for the water filter I bought a while back. I hope it works better than the golf filters. Its water tight but the tap is so high up I need a gallon or more in the res just to reach the outlet. I'll put in a brick or something cleaner to take up some spaceView attachment 105212View attachment 105213View attachment 105214View attachment 105215

You can just use a jug or anything plastic with a lid. Fill it with rocks or sand. Don’t have to worry about bio bugs in the rocks or brick this way.

We shut it off again in May. Enough was enough. An extra blanket was enough.

Good thinking, I can do that, I forgot the project when out today or I'd of picked up a scrap brick at a cement casting place just up the road a bit , then wrapped before sticking in a plastic zip lock....How dumb Bottle with rocks,sand gravel does the job...

I'm in a basement 8 ft under ground, solid cement walls, Its almost always cool down here but when it gets hot it gets humid. I have a good air exchange system but it can still get a moldy smell if I don'[t run dehues full time.....Then there's the autopots...lol they're bad enough without my basement humidity problems but I some how manage

If I had been smart I’d have said fill bottles with water.

Ya mines bad but not as bad as yours, most of the time.

We need rain this week. Two rain barrels are empty already. None of this 1-3mm crap. Weekly would be nice.

Then they'd float. I want them on the bottom, like a rock taking up space.

My friend you must still be a bit foggy too. I was like…why did I say sand or rocks when clean water is easy and safer?

Only trapped air will make it float. You fill a water bottle and put it in it will sink and displace that much water raising the level. Take off any paper advertisements first and fill to the top. Use as many bottles as needed.

If you don’t trust me try it in your sink or back of the toilet first. They might move if there is a current but they shouldn’t float.

My plants are just over 3 weeks in flower, some stretched too much for me again and I laid a few taller ones down just before they touched the lights. I'm still running Blues and Green. The plants at the back have more influence from the blues and are shorter because of them. There's a line between front and back where I have my blue lights mounted.

The Grape Skunk is a stand out already the purple is strong in these.

Full feed now is 5/3/3/8/5/4/1. I went through 6 gal in one day after defoliating, I've added 12 gal to my res in 2 days. I'm still have humidity issues, tent is at 62% desk top at 37%...2 dehues running full time.

Its hot today 32C already and with high humidity its a bit sticky.

Its warmed up here considerably, so much so I have my chiller back in use. It took a while to clean the pump and chiller. I thought I'd done that when I shut all off but after drying last fall there was a lot of floating debris after a run through of water 2 days ago. All's good now I've 2 good filters and they're running clean.

After doing that I forgot to turn on my res I came in this morning and shook my tank..wtf still full I look into my tent and plants were drooping a bit wtf ...yep didn't turn the valve back on. Alls good they're up and fine after just a couple of hours. I find it odd that a guy like me could forget something so simple....oh wait..lol

On our Costco run the other day we walked past a floor fan on for $59, reg $89....Deal right...with all that's going on in costco with other fans blowing we didn't notice how loud these things are but what a wind, can't really take it much above low speed a 1/5th H motor I think it would knock a cat off its feet on full speed.


My plants are doing well, I was trimming off some plants earlier today and pulled a few lower buds off the Rainbow Slurricane and gave it a whiff, I was blown away. I don't usually get excited about what I grow but I've never smelled anything so sweet. I'm bad with taste and recognition of flavour but bubble gum and citrus hit strong. I couldn't stop sniffing my fingers. Cats hated it, after trimming I went for coffee and the boys come up to me and I give them a pat but Qnight bolted as soon as I reached my hand towards him, the other 2 just stood up straight and backed away slowly....lol

Those fans are amazing! We used to put them on or even underneath wet carpet when I worked for ServePro, leave them overnight and 12 hours later everything was dry as a martini Good price too!
