Kuwl - Rollin' Along

[Beachwalker]

I'h gonna hold off watering for another day but here a couple of pic's

Getting there!

 

[kuwl]

I put the clones in the big tent since they went to 12/12
Clones are in bad shape but alive.
When I asked what strain he said your smoking it lol
As he just sold me some.
They not drinking so I hope they ok.

I watered 2 of the big girls today and remembered to use the shop vac
to clean up the run off dam I forgot that hack,
been breaking my back carrying them to empty, lol.
I'm up to 1400 PPM yipes!! but just a tiny burn on the very tips of some leaves.
I put the humidifier in the tent cause I been wrestling with high humidity.
They are now 7 weeks from the flip so I'm getting anxious. This is the time I
screw up but so far the tri's are clear. I will be backing down the PPM after this watering.

Here's some pics

Looking good! If you're having trouble with high humidity added air movement both high and low is your best friend

yep I got one 12 inch rotating fan on a crate another 6 inch fan
hanging near the top of the tent and a 4 inch exhaust fan on high
I might have to get a 6 inch exhaust fan or another fan down low in the tent
got intake from window air not so cold now.
ya I just remembered I have another 12 inch rotating fan somewhere.

 

[kuwl]

OK I got another 12" oscillating fan in there
The humidity problem is kinda complicated by the dehumidifier
it runs it's fan all the time blowing hot air into the tent
If I turn it off the humidity rises if I turn it on the temp goes up
Temp rises to about 85° so I like it at 78°
I am adjusting fan speed but I think my 4" exhaust fan is not doing
the job even at it's highest speed.

Does anyone think that 85° temp is too high?

Ya I could set up air ducts from the tent to it and run the dehumidifier outside
the tent but would need another duct to vent out the window for smell reasons
too complicated and too much work for me

Any suggestions on a 6" exhaust fan that is reliable but not too expensive?
I will need it for the next grow for sure.

85° is my maximum summer temperature, ac comes on past that

how high does your humidity get without the dehumidifier on?

It can be set to any but I set it at 40% when off it creeps up I don't like it when I see it at 47

 

[kuwl]

It can be set to any but I set it at 40%

I just ran up an checked with it on, it is 84° with 37% humidity
With it off it creeps up to 47 maybe up to 55

That's not that high, that's about where mine is; I would shut dehuey off and keep the heat down myself

Have you considered just running it during the dark period?

might just try that turned it off an hr ago temp 78° Hum is 46% now

Make sure you check it! I monitor every change I make for at least twenty-four hours, hope it works out!

My grow room is on the second floor lol I get good exercise
it goes above 50% I get nervous and turn it on lol

Holding steady at 46%

 

[kuwl]

I turn off oil heater and dehumidifier
With all fans on high
(2 rotating, one blowing above plants one at bottom , 1 hanging high by air intake duct)
Temp 77°
Humidity 51%
Flower Time 51 days
Lights @ 24" above (MarsHydro TS1000 x 2)
Trichomes clear
Nuites @ 1400 PPM (Botanical Pro Grow)
At this time I get nervous, I am expecting the tri's to get amber pretty soon
So I am hoping no mold issues like the last grow.
I might just order the 6" exhaust fan then I can use the small 4" to
hook up to the intake to pump more cool fresh air into the tent.

What did you get for humidity levels with the lights off?

went up to 64%

went up to 64%

I ordered a inline duct fan to help with the incoming air
that might help if I get it in time

Wondering if I take my exhaust fan and use it to pull in air
constantly it would cool the tent and push out the damp hot air

went up to 64%

Okay that's high for bloom, thought you were going to run the dehumidifier during the dark cycle?

You might consider going back to what you were doing if you can't get that under 50% in the dark?

Using a smaller intake fan helps the exhaust fan work easier and better. I run one intake near the floor at each light At low to half speed with a speed controller and exhaust with 2 fans at higher speed. This took almost 5 degrees off my canopy temp. I still need a dehumidifier but its my open humid basement not the grow causing the hifh humidity i deal with.
