Thank you for kind words. I am keeping the level at 50-60%. I was told it is needed so for sativa plants. I run it during lights are on. I will turn it off when buds get thicker to avoid bud rot. As heating is already on in my flat, air humidity is only 30%. That is quite good level for later stages of flowering. Do you have journal of your grow?

I am not very common with nutes. This is my second grow and first done as SCROG so I am focusing on training, odour, temperatures and lighting rather that experimenting with nutes (or dealing with possible nute problems). I only use my bunny's chocolate balls, some local producer made universal veg nute (NPK 3,5-2,3-5,0) and Bio Bloom for flowering (NPK 2,0-6,0-3,5)

Nice grow Maariic. Just read thru ur grow and I'm impressed. I've got this little 36"*36"*16" rubbermaid cab I'm been working on. You've given me some ideas on further design. +Reps
Having grown Short Rider from Nirvana before I experienced differences between sativa style leaves and indica, though I've only grown their SR Autoflowers but its all the same haha. I called Nirvana about this way earlier in the year and asked. They told me its a 60/40 sativa/indica which can occasionally display more indica traits. Also in regards to your SR's not popping, they highly suggested storing them in the back of the fridge and not the freezer.
Just curious though, what kind of descreat packaging did they send your seeds in? Last time mine were sent in a box of Holland Mints, and prior to that I got'em in a drivers wallet lol

Hi! Imlovnit. Thank you for visiting my thread. I don't know which ideas helped you but there are some things that are wrong in my cab. So don't take everything as advise
Fixed light height is one of the stupid things I did. It's far easier to deal with temps if your plants stand at the bottom of cab and you move lights. Nothing new to most of people, but I had to try my option to understand why everyone is moving lights not plants. Anyway +rep to you for being able to sprout SR. If you have journal I will check how they are budding. If I don't have mine. I have to watch others! My SR are also auto flowers. And I keep them in freezer. Actually not anymore. As #4 died I took #5 It cracked shell but the root doesn't grow longer. I don't want to put it in soil without a proper root. It will die again. Here she is
I received a nice hemp cloth wallet as a "free"

good grow man! i like the perserverance. yeah i read somewhere that freezing your beans can kill them, its better to keep them in a cool dry place and forget them. but who knows, could be a shitty batch of seeds. good luck man, and yeah those bulbs will heat up your space like crazy. you need at least one more fan. are you planning on adding carbon filters fro flowering?

This is what Nirvana web page says:
"2. What are your recommendations for storing cannabis seeds?
To prevent accidental germination of your seeds, store them in a waterproof, lightproof container. We recommend a small safe, as this has the added bonus of a lock to protect your valuable collection. If you need to store your seeds for an extended period of time, put them in a moisture-proof container and place it inside another moisture-proof container so that the seeds are double sealed. Store the whole at a temperature of -10C/14F or lower."
Where would you keep your seeds after reading such a suggestion from a seed bank?

Thank you chronic! Perserverance is a result of lack of weed. It is quite expensive to buy your pot so I wanted to grow those SR that I could have smoking buds in couple month (Somewhere have read that 44 days even). But now it looks that I am waiting my RF or buying. That really sucks. I would have had some buds today already if they germinated. RF is coming only in 3 months.
I've already done flowering with HPS. I have custom built glass Cool-Box for it. Temps were around 28-29C. Now I am planning to upgrade my vent system by adding old cooking hood with 2 carbon filters attached. I will make DIY cool tube because Cool-box is too big for my cab. I need to adjust height of the HPS but Cool box is too big to be constructed as adjustable device.
I was already using one carbon filter but the flat was smelling anyway.
So I have to upgrade the system to make it more stealthy. I think with upgraded ventilation my cab could also handle one more 150W MH. But the question still remains - Is it worth spending energy by adding MH during flowering period?.

You're right its a fast finisher, check out the link to my 1st/current grow with them. My 1st 2 beans started flowering at day 10 only about 2-3 nodes and 2-3" tall. The 2 non-topped gave me about 3.5 grams and the topped 1 was 26 point something...(can't recall haha)
Do you plan on running both 150W HPS and MH? Or a much lower wattage MH along side the 150W HPS? I definitely beleive in mixing spectrums durring all stages of growth much as the sun naturally does though I never mix more than 30% in either direction. Though I once read a thread here way back where a guy was growing experimentaly with all MH through the whole grow only adjusting times also with HPS in his other room. But sorry I can't recall what thread it was...
1st 3 plants earlier this year-Short Rider Auto/Fem, Kaya Gold Fem, Mr.Nice-Sour Grapefruit Kush, my 2 current plants-Kryptonite and Cherry Kush Clones Grow

It looks like you're working with about 4sqft by your pics and that will be more than enough light. I'm interested to see if you get tighter buds or other developements from the almost equal proportions of the spectrums.
Was thinking about ordering a Royal flush, how do you like it? Here is my thread, will post new pixs wed. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/489932-first-time-ever-grow-hydro.html
