Mimed’s Perpetual Thread

[Padrepuff]

I hear its good for ambient smells like outside the growroom door.

Will try that too.

 

[MIMedGrower]

With it put in small bowls around the room (outside the grow room) you will not smell the pot. from the grow room. it lasts about a month.

I dont think that would stop the smell from my perpetual. At least all the experienced growers I asked said it wouldnt. I feel i need to vent and filter at the source.

I have flowers drying all the time though.

Humidity at 20% and heat goes from 85° with light on to 80° when off.

A bit more humidity wouldnt hurt. Do you use swamp coolers down there?

You dont live in 20% rh do you? So dry. I use a whole house humidifier in winter to keep the plants and the people comfortable at 45-60% rh.

Yeah gets expensive maintaing a good indoor environment.

I have an issue I could use some advice with. I have 7 unsexed plants in 1 gallon pots that need to be transplanted but when I do that I run out of room and use too many nutrients on males I'll just kill. I'd like to sex them before I transplant but that involves flipping them then re-vegging the fems after determining which is which. I've run into a few issues when doing this in the past, Any suggestions on how to sex 5 week old plants other than flipping them?

Yeah its still in the 20° or less at times here at night. If it wasn't I'd be growing outside as well.

take the lose and flip,take clones first then run nothing but females from then on,run the females you flipped the rest of the way out,veg the clones as long as you wont

Dropping my ballast to 60% last year helped me drop 6-7 degrees got me from 90- 83F that helped me a lot.

Easy. Take cuttings. Put in glass of water. Put under 12 hours of light. Should show sex in 2 weeks or less.

 

[MIMedGrower]

I have an 8000btu window ac in the veg tent room that cools that and the adjacent flower room with intake fans.

even 83 is to hot,83 here would also have about a min of 65 to 75 humidity,with winds off the gulf coming in daily,nope waste of my time summer growing,i even unass the money for 2 led lights and that was a flop they worse than my hid lights,
so all summer i grow jars and jars of veggies instead and only buy meat during winter months hahah

Thats where I have problems, they need transplanting and are to small for me to flip so I want to sex first then transplant just the fems. They're also too small for me to take enough clones to guarantee successful cloning ( I'm not that good at cloning).

You know this was all for experience and

Yes but, like I said this was for the experience and to see if I could actually grow. I found I'm hooked. I love seeing the process from seed to bloom. It's a labor of love and I'm grateful for @MIMedGrower guidance as well as all you guys like @Aqua Man, @PipeCarver and all the support from the community.

ive flipped plants at 12 in tall and still got plenty of smoke,actually i have to flip early,i only have a 5ft tall 2x4 tent to grow in,so the most i let them go is 14 in tall and flip ,then work the crap out the light to keep um down

Everyone says that with led you need to be above 80 a little to replace the ambient heat missing from led diodes.

I like that, but that still delays transplanting for a couple of weeks. I've been hoping for some wizardry or witchcraft. Say a magic spell or chant and they'll reveal their sex. Or some technology a fancy tool that you wave over the top and it turns pink or blue sorta thing.
