Hi Im New To The Forum Just Looking For Some Advice Regarding Low Yeilds

[skunkushybrid]

You could also try upping the ppm's to 1400 at the mid-point of flower. just because AN say that you peak at week 4 this is going on an 8week flowerer. You have to make your own adjustments, and the peak feed is at the mid-flower point... so if it goes for 10 weeks, peak feed would be at week 5.

Those AN charts are just a guide.

Dude after reading your posts Ive noticed a few things about the advice you've been given, mostly bs. Temp is fine at night 60-70 degrees is the perfect temp , your too hot! Look up online ed rosenthals recommendation on temps, the cooler the bigger yields. You are creating your own problems ,
1. for your space you have too much light = heat. Get a 4 foot VERTICAL parabolic hood and with your space 3-4 will do fine.
Your powdery leaf mold is coming through your ventilation, increase your fan size to about 1650 cfm ( home depot has one at about 50 bucks, look in the roofing department , comes with thermometer also. Put a hepavirus filter on your intake, this will stop your mold. Before flowering get yourself a sulfur burner and burn sulfur for 6 hours then two days later do it again , then spray your plants, that will hold them through flowering. ( it will also kill the spores that are in your room).
get rid of that swamp cooler! Humidity of 60-65 % is FINE.
Your girls are going through too much up down swings reduce the lights increase the vents you will get better results. Also two pounds per fixture can only be done with Plants that produce that much.

My night time temp is 62F is that good or to hot??? i made a mistake when statin my room is 10x10 i think its more like 10x18... im going to be increasing intake using a squrill fan with an adjuster/dimmer... similair to this one

And exhuasting through a charcaol filter out of the rooom instead of scrubiing.

WHen u say burn b4 flower .. r u saying burn in veg b4 going into bloom or burn in week 3/4 when buds are about to start???

If i get rid of the chileer it will be way to hot in there.. i need it to keep temps down eventhough its causing humisity to go up.

And 60-65% is ok ... its at 75% at night time which is bad...i woudl liek to get it down to 40% espeically for the last weeks of bloom.

And i will be getting a brand new dehumidifer if not 2.

Hey i got a question for u guys what pieace of equipemnt would u ideally use to control humidity or what pieace of equpiemnt do u gysu most commonly use to control humididy.. do u simply set the humidity on the dehumidifer and its always set at that hunidity.. or do u also increase and decrease your intakes and exhuasts?? alter ac.. or anything else??

buump buump booom

 

[fdd2blk]

i use my heater.

 

[MacGuyver]

yea the heater? do u have it on during day time too... would u say exhausting rather then scrubing through a charcaol filter would reduce humidity?? k got some work to do.. time for a smokie.cheers

did you run that furnace duct yet? i think it may really help to get some dry air in there.

 

[richborgo]

The best thing for your girls is either massive fresh air or massive co2. A combination of both is the ideal. I also use a de-humidifier that is on all the time set at 65%, with exhaust fans set at 70 degrees. Re-calculating your space ...4-5 lights with the right hood will help and be sufficient. Burn sulfur in veg or into the first week of 12/12, not after. If your past that a product called serenade can be used , cheap, another product called soyanara found at local hydro store has given complete death to the mold without any effect on taste or quality but a bit spendy. Keep scrubber in place but put in bigger exhaust and intake!!!! Cant stress it enough, I run 8 x1000 in one room without any chillers and without ducted hoods , just plenty of fresh air and lots of air movement , and my girls do great!

Can you floor with plywood sheet? and run a thermostatic fan heater? these helped me a lot running a hydro set up outdoors (unheated garage) this winter-with warmed,aereated water, the condensation was something crool. I set the thermostat so the tent stayed at about 70-75c. Result- 5.5%oz's, 250watts of light. Good tight buds that I am smoking now. It really dried the air out well.

i just checked my numbers......

temperature......

HI - 73 degrees
LO - 55 degrees

humidity......

HI - 69%
LO - 33%


this is for a 24 hour period during 12/12 flowering.

thats about my norms too. my humidity is usually up higher than i want it in the 70% range during the day when i would like it to be about 50% because my choice strain does better there. but i live on the east coast so eh.....

Well once you get it all under control and you still manage 1/2oz per plant change genetics get a new clone and start agian.

I do believe you already have good ones but maybe you just keep cloning low yeilding phenos??

Just my two cents.

hey guys things been goin great.. working like mad man. yeahaw woohoo slap hands
: got the humidity down to 45% temp has goin up to as high as 92 but other places its at 85....Got a swuirll fan pumping intake fresh air... chiiler is turned off.... shades still on ..furnace duct into the rooom... angled the polyfrom wall to celiing to make the mold ont he outside of the room...and 1/2 of fan exhausting through chorcaol filter.... im going to leave th chiller in cuz i think come summer time itl get hotter and ill have to use it...
rich borgo how do u have u 8 1000's and no shades or chiler ?? if i dint have airflow through shades it would be soo hoot? woow iots insane...i thought u can burn until 3 week of bloom??noo?? now that my rooms clean im goint o t try to go with out sparying see how it goes.. and soon ill get a new dehumidifer to try out.. if it doesnt wokr to well i ll return it
Nice you got good numbers.. gona be monitoring mine in the next few days...i wonder how much it varies based on outside temp and humidity???

Heey i also put a fan on the ducting from the furnace ... i thini it was acting oas passive exhast when the furnace was idel so sucking stinkly air into my furance... i havent turned it on the fan im not sure if its safe to for the fan to be sucking out of the furnace espeiaclly when there flames ..any thoughts?? say it is ok to run this fan ,it will be co2 enriched intake righht??? so temps that i have now 85-92F or perceft..but could i possibly give to much co2 doin this???heres an awesome drawing :

 

[MacGuyver]

Is this safe?

 

[fdd2blk]

Is this safe?

hence the user name.

you got it my friend. WOOT WOOT!!!!! maybe get a CO2 checker just to be sure.

 

[MacGuyver]

yea.. expect i realized i spelled my own name wrong.. OOOOps it shoudl be macgyver..man i must have rellay been hihg i fi could nt even read the spellin in th epic...

but night temp is 69F and 54% good stuff??

I got some great pics to show u guys.. is it safe to place them here?

How much is a Co2 checker is it the brain .. like $700???

YEs 4 sure if i get low yeaild now i will kill the strain and possibly myself..

nice how accurate do u think that thing is.. gonan see if they have somehting like that at the hydro store. got the fan on .. was worried maybe the pilotwoudl go off.. but its still on .. gonna watch the temp and humidity again see if theres much differnce
