Very nice, you've been putting out some nice plants there, pic of the month winner. lol it looks like you had a nice last harvest, humidity plays a part for sure.
Plants won not me.
I’m still fighting 60+% humidity at lights out in the 50’s with doors open lights on.
yes we've had some warm days too,Friday it was 22c here and 13-14c overnight. 3c this am and clear, about 10c now.Plants won not me.
Last harvest was JB 4, PD 5, and SL 6 one litre jars. Doing multi strains is definitely more challenging.
I’m still fighting 60+% humidity at lights out in the 50’s with doors open lights on.
Two nights ago outside at 1am was 18* and high humidity but with strong winds. Last night was 5*, same tonight. Just waiting for the humidity to leave now.
Your plants always look great PC, some just stand out more.
It comes with a remote and a wired remote, the wired one is for inside but I don't have indoor access to it so it went outside. I just built a small box for it and stuck it outside the garage door I'll have to put some kind of lock on it or anyone can just walk up and get in.If your door has a remote there should be an outdoor keypad available to work along with it.
May seem like small beans but having my door openers is HUGE for me.
Pushing a button or entering 4 numbers is easier every time than lifting my doors.
And about the lights, still have both mine in the box they came in~!
I was hoping to see you build a room but still interested in how you make improvements.
Thanks but.....ah you didn't see a lot of my last batch though did you?... I kept my seeded buglies off the grid for the most part. lol....You always grow such gorgeous ladies~!
I'm just going to have a wall built with a door between my wood working and grow space. I have to time it between harvest and transplant from veg to flower tent. This week I hope. Plants should be ready and I'll order the wood this week. Once I get the plants cut and hung I'll have a day or 3 to get the wall built. its not a big job 12 - 8ft 2x4 - 2- 12 ft 2x4 & 2- 4'8' x 3/8 plywood sheets. a door and a couple of hinges
Yes sir, they are at 69 days today and I'm getting excited for the chop. I'll run FloraKleen through them the last few days. I bought a gal about a couple of years ago to use as a salt controller in my Autopots but after reading the label its not really for that purpose and its to be used as a flushing agent??? I know, I know flushing is not needed but after my last run with it I found my smoke a bit smoother to smoke, so wtf I got it I'll run it again and it'll let a few plants go a few days longer without nutesSeen your blackberry moonshine pic in bud of the month and had to run over here to have a look

My local tote has the Botanicare one on sale, $10 litre. Cheaper than buying the 4 litre one. If you’re interested. I haven’t used it, just water, but at this price I might have to grab one or two as a test.
I try and use just 1 company for my nutrient regime so I stay with General Hydroponics stuff. I got this spiel about how the scientist that work at these companies use products that work together to provide everything the plants need. They want you to buy it again and have a successful grow with their products. A bit from Co A and some from Co. B then a bit of egg shells and don't forget cal/mag from Co. C and there's that left over fish shit from the roses.....whats my deficiency??? lol
I run Hyclean at 1ml/gal all through flower to help with salt build up but I'm not sure it does any good. I use Autopots and promix/peat based mixes 50/50/Basically the same thing really.removes salts is the same as flushing…I’ve just ran cannazym through one of my gals is a4 gal pot in coco.ran 30 litres through it got rid of all but 30 ppm .I’ve forgotten if you are in soil or coco.id b interested in how much it takes to reduce it right down to where you want it.sshz put up the one he uses and it mentions it use up its stored nutrients.

Are you sure that's a calcium problem? Do you use Epsom Salts through Veg? I don't start cal/mag until week 3 in flower and although I used to get similar leaf discoloration on the edges like that. My regular does of Epsom salts in my feed seems to have stopped that altogether. Week 10 today and all my leaves are still as healthy as ever, save for a few on the very bottom that have started to go now that I've cut back on all my nutes.Only mentioned it as it was half price and one of the two talked about. Not suggesting a change, just how to save a few $ if you were thinking about it.
My SL was the worst for standing up again. One branch is more like steps from me doing it over and over. But it’s the best one out of the three I grew.

And go figure, the quantum board she likes better than the Photontek in the other tent.
All I did was turn it down yesterday to 30000LUX as it looks like I have a calcium issue.
Getting there…
No. I thought it was a P issue at first but G$ matched it to a calcium issue pic that looked right. I checked one of the leaf issue sites and agreed.
I do use it off/on through out the grow. If they get too green in veg I back off or stop.
I usually use 5ml epsom or ProCal per gallon. Bump it a bit if I think it’s needed. ProCal was at 8ml last two feeds as it’s got the calcium. But no epsom since week 4.
The last month of a grow is my weakest part. Plus trying to keep all three strains happy with the same feeding and lights issues.
and expanded the leaves width and length. Using it for short periods has a dramatic effect. How to use it & when it the trick.
Thats my cabbage patch girl.... not sure what she is, shes one of the 2 types, lost tags on transplant again.I have a bad habit of doing that. It'll be to the 6-7 week of flower now I think until I can tell which is whichSome chubby leaves on that far right girl.
I don't have any salt built up issues. I use pot socks and they get white and crunchy with salt build up but it doesn't cause any problems. The lines stay clear and the plants stay healthy. I clean with citric acid after each grow and it all melts away.
I have to do a clean up today and I'll take some pics to show the different root growth after I dump the soil.
Yes that's what I expected, it looks like I missed a pic of the top of the small plants but take my word for it as you can see air makes quite a difference in root growth and bud production. 2 plants in one pot didn't seem to need any more space, they grew quite well and produced well
I bought a tub of citric acid for gummies but my ife hates the stuff so it sat. I read somewhere it was good to remove salt build up. My first try I used a small amount, 1tsp / gal water and it did squat. Next try I used 1tbs/gal and that was the ticket, all six socks in a 5 gal bucket with 3 tbs citric acid in 3 gal water. 2 days later they were salt free, just a little rubbing where it was thick in salt but it was 99% dissolved. I have 5 sitting in 2 gal water now with 2 tbs in it. I'll check later to see how it went.
Thats awesome I was wondering about those pot dividers. Seems like they work like a charm. I don't know what to buy.i can't make up my mind. I'm just going to have to choose one and pull the trigger.
The dividers and bases suck. The dividers are all right but the bases don't allow for air domes. I think the clay balls over the domes l works better than the bases. Plastic sheets cut to fit will work fine as dividers. I made one before I got the official base and the official dividers and it work as well as the bought ones. I bought a $2 Dollar store plastic serving tray and cut it into shape and it worked better because I added the air stone underneath without the base.
With the grill on there is very little air flow from it but ya it can give me a good whack when i get too closei like the fan you have now... it looks to add a little danger to gardening!!!!!
A bunch of years ago I saw a video from Jorge ????? and he showed us the benefit of removing the grill for air flow and I thought it a good idea to do with a 12" stand up fan until I sliced my finger to the bone doing something stupid even with the plastic blades it sliced right through when I placed my hand there to rest it as I bent over for a second. I squirm as I write this. I'll never learn. This fan though is pretty weak and will stall rather than slice. I hope...loli like the fan you have now... it looks to add a little danger to gardening!!!!!
