Hello my brothers and sisters things are going alright i had a bit of a stuff up the other day i change the lighting from 250HPS to a 400MH and the outtake fan was not powerful enough to take the heat out so they girls go a little heat stress and the girls turned a little yellow
I just got myself a brand new 200mm centrifugal fan and filters and ducting not going to install till i put the 400 Metal halide back up
also transplanted the the black Russians and two of the Blue Dreams to 4 gallon / 16 liter pots with a mix of 50/50 Coco/Perlite
The transplant went well for a couple but the other 2 had a bit of trouble as there root ball was not very big to hold the coco in place but that's okay
also Feed them in to there new home
Today they got
8 Liters of tap water with a starting EC of 0.6
canna A&B 10ml each
canna rhizotonic 20ml
end EC 1.2 PH 5.8
Anyway stay high my brothers and sisters

Watching the super skunk too lol as I've got 1 vegging from the same seedbank.
I'm not vegging under big lights ,it's just an 80w 5ft floro tube.
mines is weeks old but , can't remember exactly when I popped it , maybe 5wks or more.
It's not big , 5 sets of leafes high. Was 6 but topped her yesterday so I can get clones.
Quite stretchy tho as Toulouse see in the pic.

16 Days they still got another 44 days of veg before they go in to flower give or take a couple of days just depends on how they are traveling put the 400 watts back up today so the grow rate could be a little faster hopefully

They will be thanking you for it haha. I swapped my 400 MH to hps and it dropped temps by 2-3c. Can't wait to pick up my new cooltube on Thursday for the veg tent

Yeah metal halide always run hotter I been thinking about setting up the cooltube but I just don't know if I like the idea of losing some light from the glass but if the temps don't start dropping
I might need to yeah your new tent is cool your going to love running a veg and flower it's the only way to grow thanks for dropping in bro

If you don't wanna run a light with glass you need to have some major exhaust. Nothing smaller than an 8in high velocity cfm fam. How do you have your exhaust setup now? That'll be the key to getting your temps right.
The babies look awesome tho. Man I need to get the hydro going again love that. I guess I like it cus you have to feed the plant directly and if you fuck up it'll show. As with soil much easier but lot harder to recover cus you can't flush like hydro. I just wanna grow another beast lol

Yeah Bro beast our fun and i miss watching you grow monsters with the 1000 watt i have never done a soil grow so i have know clue how it all works when it comes to that stuff only coco and perlite for me
The way the tent is set up now is inline fan down the bottom bring room air in and I ended up hooking up the cooltube and it's really nice in the room now so shes under a 400 Metal halide one end of the tube is open and at the other end ducting with a centrifugal fan sucking the hot air out of the tent and light i know some say its better to push the air over the light as it put's less stress on the fan
But this is only a temp set up till they get moved to the flower tent so it will do for now anyway thanks for dropping in my bro
hurry up and start growing again so i can wait

I understand how you got it setup and that's perfectly fine for right now. If it's only your veg tent then you should be able to exhaust at the top with that centrifugal fan so you don't have to use the cool tube but the fan may not be strong enough tho but if it's fine how it is then don't worry.Yeah Bro beast our fun and i miss watching you grow monsters with the 1000 watt i have never done a soil grow so i have know clue how it all works when it comes to that stuff only coco and perlite for me

I already got two strains going now. They're both in soil and they're looking pretty good but growth has been slow the last week with temps dropping back below freezing. I've had to turn off the fans cooling my veg lights cus it's getting to cool with lights on so that helped bring temps up. High temps low temps it's crazy lol. Things should pick back up soon tho. I'm gonna start a thread for all my testing, pheno hunting and breeding as I just won't be able to keep up with all the threads if I start ones for each individual strain. Gonna post into the breeders threads for the test strains and my thread so the info will be still there for anyone who needs it but it won't be just one journal for every strain even tho I would like to just can't keep up with them all. I'll start the new thread later today

Yeah i understand bro i was going to do a journal for each but it's to much stuffing around so I'll just keep it in the one place. I think soil would be good but the slower growth rate for me would kill me i think even coco is to slow
i am almost thinking i will put a mini split system in my grow area that way i can have full control over my temps as summer it's just to hot and winter it's good but could do better with a air-con i could only imagine how much better the girls would do if the temps were in order
I am going to stop being a tight ass and get some LED as i test i might use LED in summer and HPS in winter but if the yield is good with the LED ill just keep them as in the long run it will be a lot cheaper
Once you get that Thread going bro drop me a link
