First Grow! Sealed/Closed Room, 2400 watts, CO2, Mini-Split AC, SmartPots, Dehum!

It is indeed mind numbing Daniels! For me than one reason!!

I was thinking of getting a mega ray UVB bulb at one time. They crank out ALOT of UVB...Like equal or more than the sun actually depending how close you put it. I just never hear people doing it all that much so I figured "meah".

You really are doing such a great job xivex! Hope my first time grow is 1/2 as good as yours!

Hey Xivex, Things are looking good, I cant wait to see the final results. I must say after a good 3-4 week cure my LSD smokes real nice. I have my ak-48's vegging right now and will do another grow journal once I get a few weeks into flowering (mid march). I am hoping my change in water, light bulbs and pots are going to make a difference.


Later: Stlmatt

Thank you all so much! Makes the effort of doing a grow journal worthwhile vs just reading and posting randomly. Im hoping it turns out real nice! Stay tuned for harvest shots of jock horror soon!

Stlmatt nice veggies! . Like the airpots and new gear!

Nice dense growth stllmatt!

Update! Day 54 Flowering, Day 114 Total...

HELLO RIU!

Chopped the jock horror this morning 30 mins before lights on. Used my green lights to see while chopping her. Just got back from trimming her. Smoked my scissor hash already to ease the pain. . Tasty!

Got her hanging in a dry net right now in a closet. 70 F, 45% rH. Lights off, total darkness. No fan, but there is a slight breeze due to the ac floor vent in the closet. Its a large walk-in closet too so plenty of room for her buds to breathe inside. Pics of her buds n a few days. Lsds still a good 10-14 days out me thinks..will keep an eye on em!

Thanks!

Nice!
I don't use a fan in my drying box anymore. They were drying way too fast.

Great stuff. I'm wishing I had popped my LSDs now. Looking forward to the upcoming pics.

I like to put a dehumidifier in the space and set it at 40%. Doesn't produce too much heat and keeps the RH in perfect check.

Congrats!!!

Thanks LF.

Kind of a noob sealed room question for ya but how does the mini split work in conjunction with your chhc 4? I am looking to pick up both for my next room. Do you not attach them since AFAIK mini splits have their own control unit? Wouldn't a 16-18k btu mini split pull too much for the 15A breakers it has? Thanks

It doesnt. The mini split isnt hooked up to the chhc-4. Currently only using the chhc-4 to control co2. It could tho if setup right. Look at sentinels power expansion modules for that purpose.

UPDATE!!

Not done drying yet, just felt like putting pics up. The dry will prolly go 4-5 days imho at the rate its going. Bud feels soft and velvety right now!

So the Jock didn't yield as much as I thought it would, probably harvested it a bit too early, and it also seems less dense than it had looked on the plant by far. You can see it in the pics...see the stem? Looks sparser than i had originally thought now that its deflated some. It might just be the strain and the stress I put on it, but it looks like I maybe got 2 zips off it if I'm lucky... It looks so tiny now that its had 2.5 days to shrink from the dry...I'm sure it'll shrink even more and look even worse soon...LOL! I'll have to weigh it before I jar it in a few more days to see where its at, just looking at it laid out in the dry-net though it really looks minimal, not much at all...

Eh, whatever, the LSD is where the big harvest is at, still got 7 of them bitches to harvest..the jock was more of an after thought to begin with anyhow..

So after 2.5 days of drying in my dry-net in a closet at ~70F, 43% rH as measured by a probe put in the middle of the dry-net, here are 3 pics of the main cola from the Jock Horror...



Not bad for my first real harvest ever, huh? Not the fucking greatest, but fuck me Id smoke it!!!!

Oh oh ps.... Wtf is up withhow the dry net smooshes your buds on the side you lay them down in it on? I rotated them in the dry net turning each of them over to evenly dry them. When doing this, i noticed the side of the buds laying on the drynet now looks flatter, like semi-smooshed! . Wtf?! Not like stepped on or some shit but nontheless its noticeable...sigh

Anyone else use drynets notice this? Have any tips to prevent this?

COMMENTS? THOUGHTS? IDEAS?

Thanks RIU,

Looks pretty dam good to me. Looking forward to that smoke report.

That's normal with the drying net, I run a few lines of twist tie through each tier and hang within instead of smooshing them.

Fuckin' nice bro!! Might not be the bulk of ya harvest but I would 'moke that shit in a second!

I've used a drying net without too much drama in that department? Or maybe I'm just not observant enough!

Nice dude! I heard the nets can do that flattening thing. My afgoeys look very similar in terms of density. How long you think you have left in the LSD?

Prolly 2 weeks id guess. Calyxes swollen, plumping up more than the jock was, but hairs still white. Receeding, but still all white. Gonna scope some this week. Thinking of going plain water from this week on.
