Also man the rootball is awesome hah I used to love that in my old dwc bucket I tried.
They would be droopy before lights off (almost like they were overwatered), I got some light bleaching, I started seeing the early signs of heat stress (leaves curling upwards), and they definitely slowed down the growth for a bit. Ya that ac unit should work to keep your whole room at the proper temp...I just changed my light schedule so it was lights off during the hottest part of the day, I put the glass panel back in my aircooled hood, and just try to keep rez temps below 70* (they're usually around 64-68*). It is easier to regulate with only 12 hours of lights on too.Yeah man really they were just not as perky and vigorous or what?
I have a 10k btu ac I have just sitting I guess I need to set it up tonight.
What changes did you make to get your room to cool the hell down.
I got white widow max clones (white widow x big bud)
And the purple mk from trinity county both should be real nice just the seeds are taller then the clones though kinda messing up my canopy height but I just adjust the lights appropriately.
My sig is the link to my journal if you would like to check it out, lots of pics
Ya the clones i got went from cfl's to my 150w HPS for about 3 days and then into the tent and under a 600w MH...rookie mistake, i didn't let them adjust...but i just had to dim my light for about a week and slowly raise it back up to the full 600w. Now they can't get enough, I keep lowering it and they keep on growing green. Maybe try raising you light up a few inches and see how they respond?Yeah exactly the bleaching is what's getting me, but that's awesome you got it all in check.
Sealing up the hood by putting the glass back in probley did a lot.
And I bet with only 12 hrs on its a lot easier to keep temps down, I run my lights from 8pm to 8am and when I was in veg with the light on from 8pm to like 2 it was so hot in the middle of the day I could only run my 250 watt hps
Is it going get pretty hot where your at this summer?
I'm in Southern California kind of costal so won't be too bad but def need the a/c
Awh yeah man def got to adjust them I went from the 250 on super lumens so like 300 watts to a 1000 raised all the way to the roof and then slowly lowered it they seemed to do good,Ya the clones i got went from cfl's to my 150w HPS for about 3 days and then into the tent and under a 600w MH...rookie mistake, i didn't let them adjust...but i just had to dim my light for about a week and slowly raise it back up to the full 600w.

I agree, the glass panel definitely helped, however you loose about 10% (so i've read) of the lumen output vs a bare bulb...but its worth the 10% to get temps where they should be, I'm sure heat stress would affect yield and quality more than 10% less light.
I run from 8pm to 8am too, veg was lights off from 8am to 3pm so i got most of the day but it still got pretty hot in the tent by about 5-6pm.
And yes, I'm thinking its gonna be a very hot summer up here. Probably gonna have record drought conditions too, our snowpack is nowhere near where we would like it to be. I'm probably gonna have to set up some sort of cooling system once the heat rolls around.
I love SoCal, especially Santa Cruz. I have some family in LA, I plan on moving that way sometime in the future.
For sure, the mystery is always fun....But I prefer to have a name to the face, ya feel me? I like knowing the strain, I'm kind of a weed nerd and like to talk about it.mystery seeds are the best you never know what you are going to get!
Ya I have a 600w inside my 2x4 tent, so I'm at 75w/sq.ft ....Definitely gets bright in there.Awh yeah man def got to adjust them I went from the 250 on super lumens so like 300 watts to a 1000 raised all the way to the roof and then slowly lowered it they seemed to do good,
Just now with all the lights up at 62 watts a square foot it's a bit much ha.
That's cool about the 10 percent more lumens with bare glass, so if ya can cool it it's almost always better to do that them huh
and yeah man it's cool down here where are you from further up north? I've been here my whole life so I guess I'm kinda spoiled with the weather I need to go live somewhere else and see how the rest of the world is hahaha
Ya I love tahoe. I've never been south of LA but I have heard wonderful things about the San Diego area. I love snowboarding! I usually hit the North Lake resorts like Alpine and Squaw, but all the resorts up here are awesome. I've never been to Mammoth but I've heard its amazing and huge!Oh wow yeah I didn't do the math for your space that sure is bright in there haha.
Awh man hell yeah Tahoe that's so sick I'm down in north county San Diego like just south of Santa Ana and San Clemente.
I like to snowboard and stuff so I hit the resorts down here like bear and stuff but it's nothing compared to Tahoe or mammoth and stuff. That's sick your up there.
How's the girls looking?
Ya it's been a min since I took any photos...I'll take some tonight once the lights come on. The colors are really coming out on yours this round, starting to look like that first run you showed me. For sure I'm in for a trim op.whats crackin duuuuuuudes? Been a while since a photo update man......quit leaving us hanging! Looks like im gonna be bringin down my Rom D in a few days....a mere 16 days after i originally planned....updated the pics over at the other site. looks like we will be trimming in a few days if you arent busy.
One thing on your two is you can probably stop training now (i usually train for about the first 2.5 weeks). Then in about a week you can start chopping anything thats not reached the screen or is going to be shaded. have those beasts focus all their energy on pumping out frosty top colas
Please do keep cloning the Rom D, as I dont have any other seeds left of it so mine and those 2 i gave ya are all thats left up here. interested to see how those different seeds turn out....im trying to get some more info on the genetics but dont hold your breath.
