Let's experiment!

GROW TENT; about 6x6x5
10 plants

STRAINS; Northern Lights(4), blue mystic(4) freebies (2)

GERMANATION METHOD; paper towel

LIGHT; 600w mh for veg 3-4 uvb lights and a 600w hps flower (in a cool tube)

VENTILATION; 6" 430cfm inline fan and fresh air vents

SOIL; 3 grow bags (3 gallon) are organic 7 are mg mc i know I know but the organic didn't go as far as it said it would so that is experiment number one

BACK STORY; the main purpose of my grow is to see if it not only possible but how cannabis will grow as vine to maximize room if I have a 50/50 male female ratio that will give me 5 female to try it out with

Feel free to comment or follow along!

Oh the weather out side is frightful but my growing spirit is so delightful and since I got a place to grow let it snow let it snow let it snow

Looking well. All the best & happy experiment.

Thanks looking better then I expected only thing then went south was my soil but why not take a chance

My temps are good with lights on humidity is a bit high but that should come down by flower time I might need a heater for lights out since I get frost on the inside of the room with lights out unless the heat from the tent warms it up I'll know when they germinate

What light schedule are you running?

Standard 18/6 veg 12/12 flower although I might do 11/13 but we will see how it goes up until that point

Sweetness. A couple weeks and you'll be vining all over the place.

That's the plan I'm having a hard time keeping my temps high tho its 36°F right now I turned off the inline and if it still dosent work I'm going to add a heater and oh ya humidity is 96% :/

36 in the tent? Even with the fan off, you'll see maybe low 50s... Maybe. You can grow in that though if you can get the humidity down to about 70%.

Checked 10 mins ago 50s and 84 humidity I'll check again in a bit I want to see where it holds steady but it's th 6 off I'm worried about

If you can afford it, run 24 hrs. Or just take the cool tube off. That humidity NEEDS to come down though. Can't stress that enough. Low to high 50s you want between 60%-70% humidity. Any less, they'll slow growth. Any more, they'll start to die.

Idk 50s at all is pushing it and I got to figure something out for the humidity and 24hrs with a mh? Don't you think it will burn the ballast out before flower? I don't got a spare

I've run my hps for 24 hr cycles before. Didn't hurt it. It's not the best choice unless you can get a heater in there. Or those T5s.

50s is fine though. My tent goes down as low as 48 with lights out. Yours will probably run much lower considering. As long as you can get the humidity down, they'll be alright.

Update;

temps are high 50 ' s almost low 60's humidity is at 52% in a effort to control my temps in the dark period I will be changing my light schedule for veg from 18/6 to a 6/2 after reading rex's theories we will call this experiment #3

Sounds good man.

It reached 62 before I shut it down to start it new cycle tomorrow has to be just as cold to see how it reacts

Should be gtg then. It'll be 14 tonight. That should put it to the test.

Update;
another blue mystic germinated with atleast one more behind a freebie germinated aswell the last two might need some scuffing testing to see how the 6/2 affects temps in the tent
