Ok so, I have a question to anyone willing.
I am planning to update my grow room this weekend when I transplant. This is what will happen...
Transplant into the final pots (5 gallon). I am planning for AT LEAST 6 more weeks of veg and there is a 7-9 week flowering cycle. They are indica dominant and I will be training (LST, topping, supercropping). I will be adding 4.5 cups of perlite to the batch of soil for all the plants (Fox Farms Ocean Forest). I am also hanging two "myCO2" bags for increase.
To the room itself I will be changing:
- I am lifting the filter so it is exhausting the hot air at the top of the room
- I am hanging reflective white sheeting on the walls
- I am switching the hood. I am switching to a Sun Star 6" air cooled reflector
- I am creating two new holes in the room (one in the front and one in the back) for ducting to connect to the new hood so fresh, cool air can move across the light
- One more 6" exhaust fan (rated 440 ppm) to blow the fresh, cool air past the light in the hood
So my questions are"
-Will this be too much at once for the plants? Or will all this induce good stress?
-Is transplanting straight into the 5 gallon pot (and expecting it to last) through another 5 months of life before harvest likely? If not, should I add an extra transplant (use a 3 gallon first and then go to 5 gallon a week before flowering) in between or at the end (expect to transplant into AT LEAST a 25 litre pot a week before flowering)
Thank you to all that will take the time for this.

Hey rez I know I'm the ultimate noob but I believe I read something where they state its best to pull the air across your light vs pushing pulling makes for optim function I'm gonna go look if I find it again I'll copy and paste stay green

Yea, i believe so as well. The reason I was thinking of pushing it was because the 6 inch ducting is flimsy aluminium. Pulling could cause a negative pressure in the duct work and could cause structural problems. I will be losing power, but pushing will give more consistency to the cheap duct work.
So you are correct, but in this specific scenario optimal fan power is not the best way.

So tonight I added 15 ml Part A and part B, 3 ml silica blast, 1 scoop root magic, 2.5 ml calimagic.
Ph was 6.24 for the feed, and the runoff of the plants were 6.21, 6.14, 6.22. PPM of the feed was 757 and EC was 1.5.
Temp in the room was 84.6°F with RH%52%

Yes it was. I bought the hood the next day and will install it Saturday. Captain Fap's advice has allowed me to sleep better at night lol

Transplanting and upgrade successful!!
The roots were JUST starting to wrap around the perimeter of the soil (like 4 strands). Some pics included...

Also, I watered with just 2 gallons after the transplant with 1 scoop of beneficial microbes. About 1 inch of river rocks at the bottom of pot.

This upgrade may have saved my grow!!

I did see a smal, brown, flying bug on one of the leaves tonight. It looks like a bit of very dry dirt is collecting on some fan leaves as well. Does there seems to be any bug damage? On the top fan leaves (about 3 new growth ago) seems to be crystal-like sheen to it. Any thoughts?

So I am thinking about not updating this anymore on THIS site. As a "noob" I wanted the best chance to obtain as much knowledge and advice that I possibly could, so of course I am a part of multiple sites. And it is starting to become too much work to maintain a log when nothing comes from it.
I have had a few very helpful tips. It could be argued that those few pieces of advice is worth the extra work, but I would disagree. In the past 2 weeks I have had TWO people comment or give me some tips compared to SIXTEEN people post either a sarcastic remark or just plain rude. Compared to others, those numbers are horrible.
It sucks because there are a few very knowledgeable and considerable people that are members to this site, but they are severely over shadowed by all the ignorant douche bags.
Do I care about the rude and obscene comments? Not at all. And THAT IS MY POINT! If all I will receive is comments that I do not care about, then why would I spend an extra 15+ minutes at a time to update all of this? All of you that are as busy as I am understand the value of an extra 15-30 minutes.
However, I will probably continue to put the work into updating this log because if this eventually helps just ONE person or just ONE person gives some advice that saves a possible loss of my plants, then all the extra work would be worth it. (BTW if I spend only 15-20 minutes every 2 days for the entirety of the 5 month cycle, although you all can see I have posted much more than every other day, that equates to AT LEAST 1,125 minutes which equals just under 19 hours)
I just want anyone who follows or reads this log to know that there is an overwhelming amount of inexperienced trolls here. My advice is to keep trying until you find a person who DOES know what they are talking about and not pay attention to ANYONE ELSE. Here is how you can spot a good grower:
- The person will give constructive criticism (yes, they will tell you what you are doing wrong because THEY ARE ARTISTS)
- They will either tell you how to fix your problem or they will point you in the correct direction so you may figure it out for yourself
- THEY WILL ALWAYS ASK FOR PICS (Too many different ways to describe any single thing. An experienced grower will gain an exponentially larger understanding of an issue if they can see pics)
- They will provide a "when I did it this way" response to ensure their knowledge comes from experience
Those are only a few ways to tell. Sure, a fake could still do all those things, but then I would feel sympathy for the individual since they are apparently seriously mentally handicapped and has an extreme issue with lying.
Anyways, I needed to get this all out there and I am much lighter because of it. And of course I made sure to put some helpful advice mixed in there lol.
To anyone this may help and to anyone that helps me or anyone else, I thank you and as always....STAY GREEN!!
