1st from Seed Grow (Cowboy Style)

Mornin' Donald! I like that last update... sans mould, of course (fukin' shyt!). It's lookin' dank over there tho.

So you say you've got your humidity down under 40%? Man, I could never get my tent that low (unless I did like you with my dehu, which just won't work for the stinky tent setup as it is right this moment). I'll dip in to the 50's, but that's about it... normally I hover around 60%. Where is humidity normally the best? Around 40%? I feel I've been very lucky to not be slammed with mould, or something of the sort. Dammit. Now I've gone and done it... ::touching wood::

Well, doesn't look like it brought you down too low... and plus, poodles are smart, right? Yours looks well primped Later!

I've got it hooked to the plastic stud thing, have followed all instructions to the T, tried different aquavalves. My new problem is that the tube connecting the res to the manifold leaks, i've tried a worm driver clip, no use, gonna have to pop into the attick to see if i've any spare PTFE tape lying around but don't see how that will easily be appleid with a tight fitting push fit barb. Pretty much on the verge of saying sod it and sending the lot back. Nowt but trouble.

Ideal flowering humidity levels, according to Cevantes is like in the 20s and 30s (helps with adding trics when its that low). In the summer and even still if I did not run my dehumidifier it would be in the 70s and running it I can keep it in the mid 40s to about 60. Depends where I want the ambient temps in there to be. Plenty of times it's been way to humid in there and I only just recently had a bit of mold on one bud.

Hope this helps a little bobo

I had to order some rubber gromits to fit the tube into the res, mine didnt come with any. I've got some spare if you want one?

They didn't have the res i was after in stock, so i've bene left with a 100L job with a big 1/2" ID tube leading from the res to a 10 port adapter, the 1/2" tube leaks at the adapter. Stupid load of rubbish why couldn't they have ust sent me what i ordered.

Ah what a bastard, bunch of fuck wits. To be honest I'm in 2 minds whether to stop using mine for a little to fit an extra girl in there.

hey bobro! yeah it's not so much the humidity thats the issue well it is but the density of the plants. vegging them in the autopots is the only thing i've done differently. they've grown really bushy. more bushy than usual for livers and psycho. the internode space is so small they've basically just bushed up instead of grown vertically whereas the DOG's have grown normally. they were transplanted into the auto's a week or so before flowering. i'm gutted really they had extra veg time as they grew so slowly vertically. and now i'm losing the fucking stuff to mold found a load more this morning. did a load of pruning and staking to try and up the airflow. added another fan opened the window a touch to let more fresh air through. but if i keep losing more n more i'll just take them early. i could cry it's such a fuckin pain.

TTT, send the 100l res back and tell them to order the one you want. use the pots as normal pots till the replacement arrives.
weird though, if they're moored to the plastic stud and the arm of the valve isnt obstructed they should close off when the little res in the pot fills up.

Oh man real sorry to hear it, that's a big loss

it's not like i'm not going to have a good amount i just hate not seeing it to it's full potential

That's a lot of dough. Cold and dark and rainy here. Love it haha...need to run up to the store now though....no cream for my coffee. Lifes a bitch

ah man, at the moment the QQ and the DOGs are going for it the rest could be better. the half dozen kush are looking good. i'm seriously contemplating taking the 2 mold affected ones out and letting the kush have the spot under the 600. but i'm not sure. theyll have a 600 to themselves in a couple of weeks anyway. so idk. thanks for dropping in man.

aye deffo gutted about it but it's a learning curve as always it's just a bit steep lol. i reckon vegging without being hooked up to the reservoirs, they'd have been fine. though i know oscar oscar veg's using the res' without probs but he used different nutes. a bigger extractor haha that would be a 12" the 10" is loud enough. and deffo draws enough cfm through it.

a bag of sand is a lot to lose but at this stage there's nowt i can do really.

It might be worth just pulling her mate, you dont want it to spread anymore and you've still got shitloads in there, but you know better than me my friend and I'm sure you'll make the right choice.

On another note got somemore free nutes through in the last few days, got some from Plagron, Green Planet and Hesi to add to the Plantlife (Future Harvest Development) and the Aptus ones.

hahaha shit man you'll have enough to start your own hydro store soon.

i know it might be worth it but they're just starting to swell ah fuck knows i'm going to see how they fare this weekend. maybe take one and see. could use the cash too. stag do to go to n all that. got to have party treats

Do you have another light? Maybe you could move the effected ones elsewhere while still keeping them 12/12.

should be a good party
