The older plants don't mind it at 40%ish, but i find younger plants grow faster and healthier at around 55%, which is what i try to aim for during veg. I've tried slowing my fan down with a controller but it makes horrific noise if not run at maximum. I might try with a timer 15 on 15 off see what happens to my temps

Well said, DB, Well said.
And yep, Those horrific noises be no good
I hope the timer thing works
If not, well what I did was..
spent 30 on a wheeled dimmable 10amp on its own mini 4 inch heatsink
Does 2 identical inlines same make and model, both 6" both capable of 64 sq ft
Since this is just 30-32 sq ft and cold atm its turned right down.
All gears seem happy now and nice and flexible too
Even now, I'll "sweat" the room up a little bit, here and there,

pop that humidity up,
and maybe turn the china off even if need be, since she the hottest
..

yea, nothing like seeing them all praying and super happy

Good stuff

Damn dude, with all I have read and seen just on this one page, I'm subd! Going back to pg.1. I've got alot of reading to do. Great job, awesome grow, humble honest passion, DIY ingenuity, NEVER STOP! Your definitely an asset to this community and hopefully soon, to the industry. If ever products become for sale, I'll be among your first consumers!

Hey Buddy, silly question. Is everyone still going by milky trichomes as the ripening point at which to pick, or are some people just letting the plants go into Amber-colored trichomes to let them fatten up and get super-crystalized? ...

Good question actually, ODP

I like 1% amber for daytime
And 20% for night time

You see it depends on sativa vs indy and more..

I'd like to have a staged technique most likely top to down for an LSTd plant and another more holistic and iced harvest (in full) for a cola Dom that's possibly mainlined

Overall though, my principle is..
*Harvest the tops for pure potency and max flavour,
so max terps as well as max volume and length of bulbous sacs,
(60x good magnification for me..)

Just Shooting for max expansion, and max physcoactivity.

-really strong but really clean day time (functional?) erb where one hoot and you are expanded, medicated, elevated, and pallet's satisfied, with no energy drain and no burnout
That's my key

Then fck, why not Fatten up/ amber up the bottoms a bit,
especially if LST sativa doms or of if a non cola dom for more yield and more couchlock stone.

Also, remember Light types and spectrums, soil type, nutrient lockups, and generation of plant can all effect speed of trich development it seems..

Just realized this switch is capable of handling 6-8 fans, according to the receipt.
Cost 40 but must be why it's happy dimming.

Speaking of 40, I'm tinkering with 40% aeration instead of 25% on this next 25gallons.

Along with a couple meal tweaks
Should be good!!

Also, males are confirmed, very stinky stacky and healthy, gonna move them to another location for pollination.

Ahh.
Was locked out of the thread, good to be back in, lol

Normally they will go from clear to milky then back to clear then amber. Get once they go from milky back to clear is my preference.

Thanks, I don't think I've seen cloudy back to clear but I have not been looking exactly for that change. I'll check my next plants more carefully at the end for that change. I have a load of home-crosses ending in X (SFVOGK x Chemdawg IV) in a few weeks/month. A kid here (young person over 20!) said some of the plants look like fake weed plants made for TV.

Hey, Don's............... I wanna change my profile name and let you know where I stand. When I set my account up I'd never been on any type of forum before, but was looking for powdery mildew solutions and came across this site. I didn't know you guy's existed. Don Brennon was a nickname I was given at school cause of my inability to play FOOTBALL (NOT soccer!!!!!!!, pmsl, there was a 1 legged taxi driver in a soap opera called Don Brennan at the time) Then I this lead me to organics threads and you's totally killin it cool cats. I really don't want to step on your toes as I realize you're trying to set something up commercially.

Do you know if I can do this, or could admin do it? as I said I'm new to forums.

Really like your philosophy on staged harvesting, I will try that this year. Thanks.

Hey Don's........whatsup? just been watching some vids on the tube and wondered if you were aware of Growmau5's DIY LED Basics vids(he's on RIU too) If you're into diy leds they're f**kin awesome, shit, I had to do hours and hours of research, resourcing and number crunching to even get near a build, these lay it all out plain and simple
-
They make me wanna start building
