So after i posted about the fans coming they got dropped off. I wired all 5 wrong and burnt out the motors. New ones should be here Sunday. I put other fans on top that dont move as mich air, but it shouldnt be a problem for a couple of days. The new ones are artic 9 92mm

Over to flower area 2. Still waiting for conformation. The one on the right doesnt seem as mature yet just by looking at the structure of the stem. She has 5 tops. The one on the left has 14. Shall see in a cpl days the sex :hump:. These 2 are 9 days behind the UFO 80. Guna install the other 160watts this weekend. Guna have new fans for the light so itll work out greatView attachment 3992039View attachment 3992040 View attachment 3992042

The heat isnt bad. With ac running its about 78 80. Right now ac isn't running and its about 84 right now inside the box. Got the door open with the tower oscillating fan running right now to get the breeze going. I wanted to try and see how flowering under the ufo80 Can produce one plant in a 2x2. When she is done im going to start from seed to harvest. Bummer about the new fans. 20170811_160853_HDR-1.jpg 20170811_160910.jpg Cuz now on my diy light im pushing more watts right now and only have 3 80mm pc fans extracting the heat (75 cfms) when i was guna use 5 of some good fans i would have 5 92mm pc fans all together at 210 cfms . i fkd up when i was test trying all 5 together i fried the motors somehow. Im guna supply with own dc power supply on sunday when i get the replacements. Still no sign of sex on these yet. Checked the timer and was set at 12.5 on 11.5 off opps lol i changed it. But yes here is the diy flower light. Not watercooling this time cuz i didnt want make the full adjustments in that new area i put together. Not enough space. But the new fans will do the trick for the heat. The temp in the flower area 2 is at 76 right now. Its doing good.

welp its update time here again, in this update like to show something that might surprise you. I have actually taken pictures of the thermometer inside the room. This may freak you out in a way cause of the temps we are having down here in Tx as well. Today's temp 98f feels like 103f, with humidity is about 46%.

first 2 of pictures were from last night when i got home....look at the plant and then look at the temp...now i do move the plant into cooler temps during the night to cool it off.....

the next 2 picture are from this morning, do the same as above....

my estimates are, the plant really doesn't care, as long as it well groomed and maintained, i could be wrong though, its still early...

Yeah i have a diy veg light and a diy flower light as well as the ufo 80 for testing.
This is the veg light20170702_122933.jpg . Its on a voltage dimmer so it adjust the output of the led. On the lowest setting in the picture it supplies decent coverage and stays cool and never gets warm. I never really had it above half way tho

Thats insane about the temps. The one under the ufo seems to like warmer temps herself. Yours are starting to come along very nicely. Good growth

Staggered nodes are just a sign of maturity of the plant. You can take clones in veg, some take clones when their plant is mature enough to make the flip to flower. asymmetric branching is a sign that your plant is mature enough to start flower. They just take clones at that point
