Not Much update. I drop the ball and forgot to order the lines so a little hang up.
Trays are in and the mothers that need to be retired are in trays along with some other plants that have been in veg for a while (I don't know how long but roots have hit the bottom of the 5gal fabric pot).
The other tray is just filled with plants that are supposed to be sent to another person for Outdoor grow.
Other than that I need to finish building manifold and just wait for lines to come in. :bigjoint:

Clean all FloraFlex shields, now the wait begins.
Strains :
Humbold seed Chocolate Mint OG
Alien OG
Banana Kush
Sweet Seed Gorilla Girl
Lemon Garlic OG
White Widow
Dark PLasma
Emerald Seeds Royal Purple Kush
Dutch Passion Critical Orange Punch
AHP
Green house THe Church
Emerain Triangle Cotten Candy Cane
Alien Rift

Woot! Lines come in tomorrow. Will give photo update once all lines are ran.
So I change times to 12/12 today and I’m not filling cause 36 just over crowded and these mother are to big to be so close. So doing 18 in 8x8.
Will defoliate, top and have lines ran
And set pump to timer to feed about ~20 oz 3 times a day and increase if needed

Other then that looking to improve my veg area so getting 2 t5 8bulb for each 4x4 area. Can daisy chain so atleast I don’t have to take up to many plugs.

Day 1!!!

Week 3

Been really busy but I do have photo of week 3.
been working on Veg area a lot haven't paid attention to flower just cause it really runs it self i check the PH and EC everyday but actually opening the tent not always. i didn't lollipop all of them just the front 4 cause i need to redo how I run the lines . They have plenty of slack but I wish i knew i should have ran them under the pot then come over on top. Hopefully you understand what I mean.

They are drinking a lot i have actually increase watering to about ~30 oz now give or take and bottom of pot are still dry.

ZONES I definitely should have ran zones. But will do that next run as well zones of 8 so one bubbler for each zone. Next Round won't be as big in plant so I should be able to pack in more.

Another Week or two I believe this is week 5.
I just say Days from now on cause i hate saying week it confuses me so this is day 31!
They are getting much much bigger I will have to update photo later and the next round for veg is still going.
New gear coming in Monday so i may wait till that comes in to take photos and show.
I increase water interval form every 9 hr to every 6 hr and increase time of watering to 45 sec from 30 sec. They are drinking a lot more.

Hello My Rollitup Family

Going to keep it short, I will post daily now in a better time and space.
Some new things: Got rid of tent half of basement is now flowering space.
Got a 3 ton Ac Installed
Bought a Quest hi Dry E 195

If I was smart didn't need to buy the Dehumidifiers but since I already bought it before I got the Ac well I have it.

So jumping right in I have a MAD PM (powdery mildew problem). Got some help from @Renfro, He gave me some pointer yesterday and I am following them to the T to hopefully control my environment better.

So before I contacted Renfro my AC mini-split was set to 68 it was on 24/7 and Dehu is set to 45% which it still is.
my Temps when the light on was 72 highest and 66 at night. I didn't think it was that bad and RH was 48-52. Come to find out THIS is what PM like. I was under the assumption that it was high RH. Thus why I bought the Dehu before I got the AC. I'm an idiot whatever I'm learning slowly but surely.

Anyways after my convo with Renfro, I have set my Ac to 74 I have also ordered a Sensibo Sky so allow me to set a schedule for my AC. I have the Ideal Air 3 ton AC 36k BTU if anyway wanted to know. So that will be here tomorrow. I also went a pick up a better timer cause again I was dumb I was having to auto watering water at night it was set to water ever 8hr so ya sometimes at night yes that is dumb I got a timer and I set it today to water at 5 pm when the light turn on and at 1 am Lights are still on. The lights are from 5 pm to 5 am. 12hr flowering room. Most other things that have not changed are the barrels are still on the wall and are not in the flowering room or near the AC. The dehumidifier is pumped directly into barrels this allows me not to add water and all I ahem to do is PH. IDK if good or bad but if your reading let me know.

I will do my best to post daily if you following hey thanks we are going to learn to grow some nice cannabis.

So currently int the work Removing all infected leaves that have the PM might take a couple of hours/days but it will get done and will update tomorrow on progress.

This is week 4 of flower for one half and week 2 for the other half.

Yeah cooler night temps can cause PM. A dehumidifier has a hard time dehumidifying cool air and the cooler air causes the RH to spike since it can hold less moisture. Keep those night temps up at or above 72 and you shouldn't have issues.

With an outbreak that bad you will need some form of applications to control it. I am not a fan of sulfur vaporizers, if you do use one make sure to protect any sensors you have in the room. Sulfur is also hard on LED lights, reacting with the surfaces and reducing light emissions.

Eagle 20 is great in veg, but not in flower.

Using potassium bicarbonate can help by raising the pH of the leafs but a thorough application is required and it can burn. Mix to a pH of 8.0 Also don't let the plants be wet in the dark so the application needs to be with lights on. A surfactant will help get better coverage, dawn works, 1 tablespoon per gallon.

Actinovate is a good biological remedy that should be considered.

Thanks, @Renfro I greatly appreciate the help. I am doing that and I will make sure I log temp data to ensure my night temps do not go under 72. I do have some potassium bicarbonate Green Cure. http://www.greencure.net. Since Sulfur has a chance to damage my light I will not go that route but just try to control the environment better to not have this issue. Once the Sensibo Sky, I can then set it to just heat the night temps since we are going into winter and night temps will keep dropping as outside gets colder.

Actinovate is good stuff and will help you get a hold on that outbreak as it could try and persist even with less favorable environmental conditions.

So Sensibo Skyis installed and I set up a schedule so at 5 pm it turns to cool mode @ 72 and at 5 am it turns to dry mode to help dehu the room or should I just turn it off? @Renfro what are your thoughts. It is crazy cause all my meters say something different. Sensibo Sky is saying it is 75 degrees and 61% RH Dehu is saying it is 55% and the gauge says it is 79 @ 52% RH. Honestly dont know what to believe. SO I have a paint spray coming tomorrow I will make a small weak batch of the green cure with some h2o2 and spray down plants one by one with lights on. paint spray will be faster and easier. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be done?

Autopilot makes these monitors that are reliable.


I never trust dehumidifier readings, they suck. lol just set it to where it needs to be in order to maintain RH% below 50.

If you wanna run it in dry mode when the lights are off thats fine so long as the temps do not drop. Honestly if it has a heat mode id set the fucker to 75 degrees heat when the lights are off.

OK Heat it is. I will set that up right now and I will look into that autopilot with the remote sensor. Thank you

I can not tell if there has been much improvement but i can say i have been trying to stabilize the environment more. So since winter is coming and it is getting a lot colder outside thus making inside a little colder i have set the AC to 77 and Temps have been table 81 high to 77. RH has been dropping as well to like 45%. So i can definitely see that the humidity has drop. For the PM i can't say i have totally eradicated it. I don't se that happening till after this flower and i am able to tear down room and do a really deep cleaning. and start a new batch of plants.

Future grow will now be big plants especially cause i nearly only have 7 feet on basement ceiling.
