OK...I've been lurking around here for a while reading up on things and was able to successfully grow two plants with low yields but some really frosty bud.
Let me start off by saying I haven't kept up much with dates but I started this project in October and harvested Saturday.
Vegged 6 plants from bagseed in a big rubbermaid tote for about a month then switched to flower in the cab in the picture. One died during veg and three of the remaining five turned out to be male.
So that left two females one of some decent bag seed and the other of some chronic that just happened to have a few seeds in it.
I switched from distilled water to tap that I left out to let the chlorine evaporate off of and the plants started looking kind of funky. Got some ph tester and up and down and realized the ph was way off and corrected it but the decent one never fully recovered. The leaves kept turning a weird greenish brown color drooping etc but the chronic rebounded like a champ.
The yield for both however is pitiful.
The first two pictures are of the decent plant. Only got about an 1/8 dry off of that one. The next two are of the chronic that yielded about 4.2 grams :-/. The buds are frosty but fluffy. I was able to successfully clone the chronic tho so I have seven new plants that I put straight to 12/12, 3 on Saturday and 4 today.
I'm pretty certain the plants need more light since I only have five 23 w cfls running right now but I'm having an issue with heat. If I put all eight bulbs on the temps stay at over 90. Right now they are ranging between 68 at lights off and 82 at lights on. I have 6 1/2 in holes on the right bottom for passive intake and one 120 cfm computer fan on the opposite side for exhaust and another 120 cfm computer fan on the bottom right to move the air around. I know something is wrong with the air flow but I don't know how to fix it. I have access to one more 120 cfm and two 80 cfm ones since I'm going to cannibalize the veg chamber for parts and just go straight to 12/12 as soon as my clones/seeds root.
What should I do??
