Thanks man, she was sitting under the HPS without any fans running for like 5 mins each day for the past 2 days, bit of a set-back as a result but i'd say 80% is looking nearly perfect. Very top has gone hardcore yellow but "fuck it", she'll recover! The leaves aren't dry and crispy or anything, or cupped/curling, so i'm just leaving them on, if they stay on they must be useful to the plant in 1 way or another. Thats my logic and i'm sticking with it.

Ur plant's looking good man, but i cant help but see a lot of wasted space! I reckon 2 of ur current sized plants in there would've been PERFECT, would've definitely got ur pound. Urm all my flowering nute tweaks has been logged in this journal, but as a quick summary... week 1 was like 3/4 veg nutes 1/4 flower nutes, each week this slowly transitioned to 1/4 veg 3/4 flower to now pretty much 0 veg, but i might give her a dollop next feeding, just. She's still not taking full strength flower nutes but she'll be there soon.

yeah i know now that two of these girls scrogged will fill my cab up entirely with the 2 month veg
this is kind of like a test run with the new setup to get a starting point i can improve from
i actually have 4 clones going now but they have been going for like over 10 days now and still nooooo roots!!!!
i used the cloning gel and im pretty sure it sucks ass compared to the powder, from what ive heard and seen
so what if i remove teh clones and dip whats in there in the powder aand put tham back??? would that work??
i ask bc i cant take any more cuttings bc its too late into flower. but i wanna grow my chiesel again!!!

Yeeeh, see i'm trying to get it as a present, haha. Sadly i do not have 8bills to invest in such an interest. Haha yeh they're usually cool unless they're suspicious for some reason of something. My block just happened to b the one that perpetually stunk of ganj.

My super lemons went 14 weeks man! Not really quite sure why i let her go so long.... but yeh i completely agree with u, thats been my plan so far, i'm tryin to get things set in such a way that i'm away over the flush period, any 1 of the ppl left in my house can pour water into a pot, its not theoretical physics eh?!

haha you say that, but i left mine in that stage and came back n looked like they'd been raped from the inside out. Im sure she'll bounce back, a bit of light bleaching isnt gonna set you back at all really, seein as you caught it so early on.
 
Hey man,

Just read through the whole thread.......MMmmm Enjoyed that...

Great looking grow... Brillant exsample of a diffrent method of SCROG..

Love the sound of the strain..

Your gonna have once nice carpet of bud there...

Pulled up a chair to watch this one out..

Cheers..

I'm driving, and lazy... What week are you in now? I'm mid week 4. Buds fully formed a I'm still shucking them from the understory. I've got one plant of the bunch that is really sticky and triched up already. Going to clone her.

I suffered some stretch while out of town all week. Forgot to tell wife to exhaust the dehu into the room during lights off and into the Hvac when lights are on. Daytime 83 at canopy. Nighttime 69! FUCK. I can't stress enough how much temperature makes a difference in how the plant grows. Oh well, buds won't be massive dense clusters but at least the wont mold.

It's a freakinf jungle in there for sure. I've got about 8" of light moving space left.

Yep, my nite time temps hit 67-69 for a few nights... shocked them for sure and they never bulked up right. It looked like a million different deficiencies but it was really just cold roots not being able to uptake the nute's properly. Surprising how sensitive they are in a container considering outside they can withstand nearly freezing temps. Although I suppose it makes sense, at 3' under the surface of the earth it is suppose to be a pretty constant 55F, still seems cold tho.
 
that is an interesting phenomenon that I never really thought of. the upper surface of the soil where most of the plants roots are is actually quite a bit warmer than the lower portions which do stay at 55 or so degrees. its always something. keeping water cold in the summer and keeping it warm in the winter. Siggh.
 
Pound, you can still take cuttings, it will just take longer for them to root and revert back to a fully vegetative stage. I've used both powder and gel root stuff, I prefer the powder. I take my cuttings and just stick them all in a glass of water as soon as I cut them. After taking my cuttings I get all my stuff ready. Clean razor blade, cutting board, powder sprinkled onto a piece of paper and the cuttings. I cut off any branches leaving the top two nodes of leaves. I lightly scrape the stem that will go into the soil and then take the cutting, make my final slanted cut and then dip it in the water again and roll the scraped stem and the bottom cut into the powder. I use a pencil to make a hole in the soil and in goes the cutting. I use party cups. After that's complete I water the cuttings in and put a humidity dome over them. I spray them twice a day, if needed, once in the morning and once in the evening. Otherwise I spray the inside of my humidity dome. Too much spray on the cuttings will give them leaf rot before they root.

Legally, I again agree with you about temps. I try to keep my room as constant a temp as possible. It generally stays around seventy eight. I have the luxury of having a spare bedroom to grow in that is dedicated to growing only, so it's basically isolated from the rest of my house. Next to genetics, environment in my humble opinion is the key to growing nice specimens.
 
Rep for that. I was just typing the other day that it seems strange that environmental parameters are one of the most important factors, easiest to control and yet, you see soo many growers saying things like "yeah it's 90 degrees in the tent and I don't know why, I have three computer fans in there".

It's easy but then again, it does take money.

its really not always that simple. most people on this site seem to be blessed with reasonably low ambient temps in there area. over here in aus when temps can reach over 100f outside in summer i can tell you without some heavy duty airconditioning your really not going to get your temps below 100f its just not possible trust me i have spent the dollars and have my tent running sweet but still the best i can manage is to match the outside temps

Like I said easy problems to solve but they take money. Its hot both outside and in... Buy a nice split AC unit. Problem solved. A Split AC is actually THE best way to manage heat..or shall I say the most precise. They are not THAT expensive... I got mine from minisplitwhareshouse for under a grand (18,000 btu).

None of us got the shit we have over night. U start with what u got and work (earn!) your way to the better equip. I started with 1000 bux 2 years later I'm sitting on 10g worth of equip... It's like a business, you start small and if your clients like your product you grow. no pun intended lol
 
True that. I guess what i'm saying is that environmental controls are quite easy to figure out. There is no magic "how do you raise THC levels bs" or how "how much water is enough". Room control is simply physics, the parameters of which are all very clearly understood and can be readily researched on the internet. There is no mystery involved with calculating the heat load of an area na how much AC you need. Or trying to design some temperature control module. Its all right there for the taking

I live in florida, it's november the ninth and when most others are already feeling winter, it's still eighty degrees here with almost eighty percent humidity. Summer days are always in the nineties and the humidity is like being in a jungle. I have a 6500 btu air conditioner in my room with two six hundreds and my temps stay around seventy eight. My lights are cooled by air pulled in from outside of my grow room and exhausted out of my grow room, it never mingles with the room air. Right now I'm running a dehumidifier set at fifty percent humidity, I'm working on my ninth week of flower. I started with cfl's and now have a room for growing. I've upgraded my house electrical service, put more insulation into my attic and bought a dehumidifier and air conditioner with the proceeds from my grows. Controlling your environment can be accomplished, it took me a year and a half but I finally got it under control with the proceeds from my grows.
 
Nice! You got balls that clank for growing weed in the gunshine state. Isn't it money though when it's all dialed and runs like a clock, I'm a total automation whore :)
