About how high is your trellis above the base of the plant?

I didn't want to do that but think I'll have to. It's getting hard to shape them to fill a 3x3.

It’s about 12 inches from the soil to the net.

Having light leaks when light is off...is not detrimental... my monster blue dream....this is what her sleep period looks like... that's the wall between my side and neighbors side

The light leaks must be on your side for them to not reveg......

Your grows are spectacular to say the least.....

But we try to get zero light leaks from anywhere to prevent reveg or herming......

I was running a humidifier a while back because my rh was bad....still is, but I've learned a lil since then....anyways.....

The humidifier had a light, which I duct taped, but I did not realize the light was also coming from the fill reservoir.......

That little amount of light revegged the surrounding plants.....not all of them, just the ones right next to it......once I saw the reveg starting, I was beating my head trying to figure out what the problem was......

Sure enough, I pulled a couple plants out of the cabinet, turned the lights off and hopped in their home......

Once my eye adjusted, it was plain as day.......just a small red indicator light that I taped off was coming from the housing where it connects/snaps together.......

Lesson learned.......

Moral of this story is.....even though you tape a light up and cover it, make sure the light isn't bypassing where the indicator light actually is.......

1 - taped indicator light
2 and 3 - where it also came through

I get it man!!! I'm a renter so I can't just redo an entire wall... it's an 1800s house... you can run an old western peep show thru my basement slats

Just some things are out of control

Is that a regular or feminized plant?

I'm kind of skeptical about the light leak herm theory. Lots of bro science with this hobby.

howdy wreckers! I hope everyone has a great day, that your crops are dialed in and cooperating with life. May your yields be swoll. Flowers be sexy, and terps stankin’

Wassup bros. Been awhile. Was freezing my butt off the past week. Grow tents were hitting 58F at lights off and only 65F lights on thanks to the 7F arctic air blast.

The plants handled it pretty well. The Grimm Truffles got more purple expressions on her leaves and the Gorilla Wreck X Big Foot Glue did a little bit too.

Its 73 F in there now. It's warned up to 60F today.

You know, it was strain specific I’m sure, but when Texas froze a couple few years back, my ladies didn’t show any cold stress until it was about 45 degrees for a full 48hours. They look good man! You have that tent packed!
Well you always have tents packed, it’s how you roll!

That cat has been doing the coolest shit with that for a while. It never gets old. Editing the crowd had to be a headache from hell. Worth every second. That’s shit had me smiling man!

Is this part of the roots showing through or mold? I have more coco hydrating to transplant hopefully tonight or tomorrow. I can see roots on top of the surface so it's definitely full.

Did some defoliating today and found a bunch of bud sites that were squashed by fan leaves. Hopefully they shoot up and do something.

Those are ac infinity bags yeah? Most of the time it’s salt or lime scale that builds up on those. Have you checked your water treatment facilities treatment regiment? They should have ppm listed on the web page somewhere. But if you have a uv flashlight, you can always run it across those bags to see if it’s present.

 

[Captspaulding]

Holy shit, I can’t believe I missed that episode…..too funny. No
Business!

 

[Rama777]

Interesting light here.. Considering it.. They have a 510 watt version that would fit in my 3x3 nicely. 350 dollars with shipping.

Those are the Vivosun 2 gallon velcro bags. I have 5 and 7 gallon AC infinity bags but not sure which to use. I looked at the 7 gallon and they look fucking huge compared to the 5.

I've been using purified water so far with pretty much 0 ppm. My tap water is 150 or so but haven't used it for this yet. The nutrient solution has been around 850ppm for the past week.

I grew up in a house like that, it was built by chain gang prisoners around 1900. They were still mixing horse hair into plaster….it was definitely a build style of a bygone era. Nothing was square and every doorway and trim was very off. Window sills and sashes too.

I put my plants out when it was 40s and 50s for weeks outdoors, covered at night if it froze with a tarp. Kept them well watered and they had no problem. I am with the captain though I'm sure there are genetics that would probably just die or herm out.

So those 7gallon bags are my favorite come to find bro. Alls you have to do is cuff them a couple times to make them smaller. I like them because you can basically make a more shallow root zone with them. Easier for wet dry cycles imo and they dry better on the lower half that way I have found…..this is a reveg attempt with a cuffed 7g…..
