Good luck dude im subbed! I had to move my easy ryders from pc to cupboard due to space and heat, im sure you will have fun! If want to see how mine are doing link in my sig

Planted them yesterday. Still waiting to see some sproutage.
Theyre currently under two 42W Daylight CFLs

akgrower420 · Feb 25, 2010

They both seem to have basically sprouted. The one on the left looks like its pushing up a chunk of soil. Is this bad?

First Picture is plant on right second is plant on left.

I can't really see on my iPhone but I'll be home in 5 mins and hopefully offer some constructive criticism

djlifeline · Feb 25, 2010

just move the chunk of soil out of its way to help it out

akgrower420 · Feb 26, 2010

thanks dj. i moved the chunk and they both seem fine now.

First picture is plant on left, formerly blocked by chunk of soil. Second is plant on right

Again can't see pics on my iPhone and I'm not home till Sunday evening. I know it's sad but I make mine haha

10 days from seed. I've been watering them with filtered water when i feel they need it. Plant on the left is growing a little faster than the other.

Second Pic is left plant, third is right plant

hygrometer just came in. Here are the results
Temp 82.0F
Humidity 30%

Is this ok?

djlifeline · Mar 4, 2010

Yeah its fine but temps could be a little lower. With lights on you want the temps in the 70's ideally

akgrower420 · Mar 4, 2010

ok thanks. I turned the fans up to lower the temp but that only made it higher for some reason, so now i put then on low and the temp is going down slowly.
Does this make any sense? cuz its pretty confusing to me

djlifeline · Mar 4, 2010

Yeah dont ask me why Its just strange like that. I struggled to keep my temps below 80 when I had my fan blowing heat away from light and since its broke it sits in the 70's all day long...

akgrower420 · Mar 5, 2010

Humidity is kinda low and temps are improving but all is well besides that.
Incase you cant read the hygrometer sensor (and you probably can't because i've been taking pics from iphone camera) it says 75.3F and 20% humidity

djlifeline · Mar 6, 2010

Try sticking bowl of water in there or just mist the air with water spray bottle. That will do it

AnonymousGrower · Mar 6, 2010

Dude I have almost the EXACT same shit as you, same conditions and everything. Only thing different that i can see would be that i have 4 26W instead of 3 48W. Same humidity, temps and everything. Buds are developing soooooo good, about 2 weeks till i chop em

You are gonna have a blast, good luck

With higher levels of CO2, your plants can tolerate more heat. Check out my grow in my sig. It's got your case and all sorts of steroidal upgrades--pretty much maxed out a pc case: HPS, CFL, LED, SCROG, the works. Have fun and big yields!

Ok so i created my own little contraption to raise the humidity.
I took a plastic pill canister and cut a small hole in the top. I then filled it with warm water. Then i folded a paper towel to make it into a wick that was the right size to go into the hole. i pushed the wick in until it was right above the bottom of the canister with about 3 inches of wick out of the canister.

The humidity went up rapidly. In about 25 minutes it went from 22% to 71%.

Is 71% too high?

I'm pretty sure that 71% is a mold and disease risk.
