This grow has been undeniably stressful both to me and the two ladies due to the extreme heat this summer has affected upon the country. Until I move in a few years and get a place with central air I will not be growing from mid june till mid september. Temps in my little grow box have averaged 93+ and limited the growth of both plants but especially the trainwreck. Didn't help with the top shearing incident I had in week one of flower, I can picture how much nicer she would have looked had she not lost 6".

I stayed with the same feeding routine, basically every two days I fed them hard and flushed every 7-10 days with clearex. I think this made a difference in overall bud size and had little to no deficiency problems throughout. While overall yield will be lower than my first grow, this is attributed to the heat more than anything, and the size and volume of the buds is at least on par or better than my first grow. I am a definitely going to use the clearex from now on.

My first grow I trimmed leaves off like crazy, especially on the strawberry. This time around the only leaves that got removed are ones the plants let go of themselves. One plus of the canopy not filling in as nice is I didn't have alot of bud shading and with the temps as high as they were I did not want to stress them any further by removing anything.

By this weekend I hoping for more cloudy trichs and chopping by saturday or sunday as I said.

Here is some pics. Trainwreck first.

    My grow box is in a closet in my spare bedroom/office. I don't a/c so I regularly leave the windows open and co2 is not a problem.

    Thanks! Could have been nicer but the heat really limited growth.

    ok, i was thinking of putting a setup like yours in action, ofcourse in a closet in my bedroom but i live in the great white north we get harsh winters here. I can leave the windows open in summer but in winter illl have to keep them closed, you think my plants would do fine with very little or no outside air and only a fan ? or am i going to need a co2 tank here ?

    Unless the room is completely sealed from any other room or other air source you will have no problems with co2 amounts. Normally the only time you want to use additional co2, without wasting it, is if you have a fairly sealed area or a timer for your ventilation. Even then co2 works better at above normal temps and high doses of nutes. Simply leaving the door open once in a while, and if this is your bedroom you sleep in, just your normal day to day actions will provide more than enough air exchange. The only thing that would hamper that is if you do not have enough ventilation in the grow area. An extraction fan with a passive air intake and a fan to circulate the air is all you will need.
