Flower is always the best part.. but you gotta be dialed in before you flip em to 12/12... once they go into flower.. whatever problems you have.. just get worse....

yah i know i had a heat issue with my first grow and it turned out kinda bad but not completely bad

So this grow I switches to t5 instead of hps (only 150) but the t5 is something like 245

But I had bad Beatriz no exaust at all and no osilation fan
Things should be better I got my booster holdin down exaust till next week when I can order my accualy exaust

be careful using t5s.. they are good and all.. but you need to keep them VERY close to the plants.. because they dont have the penetrating strength of a HPS

On a good note today I'm a very proud dad

The lemon skunk on right and pineapple express in left
I'm a proud dad cause even with the heat they outgrew there need for support I was in the tent talking to them and happens to notice the express was standing alone away from her support and so I asked skunk if she was ready so I took the support away and she stood strong (made me smile)


ALSO
I'm going to get some ghetto osilation fans and hope they hold untill the real fans get here I'll keep you guys posted on how the ghetto fans work

Pic 1 whole family showing ghetto fan in gallery corner
Pic 2 autos front la diva back lil devil
Pic 3 left lemon skunk right back bubblegum kush right front pineapple express
Pic 4 I realy think we just needed an advance on the osilation fan they didn't wanna wait untill next week they wanted it now

The girls look a lil sad with droopy leaves but I think it is from the random temp changes so I'll see if they purk bak up in the next day or so the all look healthy to me so I'm hopeing that it is just the temp changing so much

What you guys think is the sadness just cause the random temp changes or do you think it is something more

Thanks Bkbbudz
I know they are slightly stretched but they were like that when I planted them and I would have buried the stems completely but ran out of soil but when I get paid I'm going to get more and I'm going to virtuoso to the cotalydon so that should take care of that

The pics don't realy do much justice lol they are way darker than in the pics the skunk looks a lil liter in color than the purges but she is also growing faster ran the outhers

next week seems so far away from now

Hey, looking good Pedro. I am pulling up a chair for this grow. Also, your temps arent that bad at all so dont stress to much over it. These plants can grow in some serious heat just make sure u can keep your hand near the top of the plant without it burning you. once you get those fans that you mentioned and get that air circulating then you will be golden my friend. Peace.

Thanks for coming by player

I should be getting the exaust fan in about a week or two most of them are doing well in the heat but the kush and la diva look kinda droopy but might be cause of over watering so I'm gonna let them go for a few days and dry out to see if it helps if it's not over watering then only thing I can think of is the random switching of the temps they were pretty jumpy for agree days untill I got the fed.comk fan to osilate now they are constant so I'm just giving them time to get better
