Thank you, I will try to understand all that tomorrow. When I'm not so floaty. LOL

Essentially, this is the same table as other manufacturers, but it is calculated based on different ratios and interactions. Where temperature and light are no longer the key factors for growth.

Okay, the outdoors is done and I'm looking for a new adventure. 🙂
Lots to learn, so I'm a gonna lean on y'all.
Splurged and got an AC Infinity 4 x 4 tent 'kit', with all the bells and whistles.
UPS dropped it off yesterday and hubby and I put it together today. Very impressed with the packaging and ease of assembly.
Now I have to do some reading. Man that light is bright!

Thanks! Outdoors is my prefered grow space, but I've had a continuing battle with disease, so thought I'd try my hand at indoor. It's been a challenge, but I'm learning lots and am getting a feel for it.

For example: This morning I realized the temp. in my tent is not high enough to evaporate the moisture in the fabric pots fast enough to prevent root problems. The house and tent are at 72F and when the light goes out it drops to 68-69.
Think I have to fix that.

Have you started a thread yet? Grow diaries are very helpful, as we all have different conditions and styles and us newbies can get a view of how you more experienced growers do it.

The only question @cpurola, I was going to reread the thread instead of asking you something that has probably been asked, figured it's probably quicker just to ask again and apologize if it has been a redundant question for your thread, do you have calmag that you are using? I figured you probably have it, I smoke enough to only remember some things, and most of today and enough to forget what happened days prior lol

I just bought some Calmag and will use it the next time I feed/water. I've got all the fans running, but the pots are still damp/wet and I need to let them dry out first.
Also, thanks for the charts.

I have my journals, i keep all my info in them. I don't know how or what this thread thing lol but for your temp a small heater digital. In flowering the lower temps will turn you bud purple. But it is safe for your plants to get down to 55 degrees but no lower.

This morning another twist....
The edges of the leaves are browning on all plants. Too wet, too much fertz., rookie moves, I know. 🫤
So I put a small space heater in the room with a fan to move the air around and turned the light up one notch.
Just trying to dry the pots, 'cause the moisture meter still says 'moist'.
(I saturated the 5 gallon pots with water on Dec. 1.)

Ya know, tomatoes are probably easier. LOL

Did I ever tell you the story about why I stipulate that runoff comes out the bottom of the pot?
Cause a guy who was told how to do coco watered it until the stuff came out the top and then confronted me in chat about the dead grow.
Yer gunna be fine. This is your first grow.
Believe me when I say growing outdoors is not growing indoors. It has its own challenges and a learning curve.
I think you would do better relying on your knowledge of presentations from dealing with deficiencies outdoors than asking for a help. You are getting so much " help " from the comments that the recommendations are pulling you in several directions with lights and training and everything.
You have a very specific grow going on. You have a media selection and a nutrition selection and a cool controller.
Now match yer grow with the guys giving advice and listen to those folks. Eliminate the channel 19 chatter. Eliminate the doubts you have by following the growers doing your style as they will confirm your instincts as you progress.
And as always good luck.

Thanks, I needed to hear/read that. I'm just not comfortable with all this gadgetry yet. Feel like I'm batting at flies and missing every time. Should have started over a month ago, but couldn't bring myself to 'waste' a month, and trash the plants. I may have to take it down anyways if Christmas plans work out and the 'guest' bedroom is needed for 'guests'. 🙁

Well that would be a shame cpurola if you had to take it down. Your just having some small "burps" which many of us did and still do get with being over loving and learning indoor. I hope you are un-zipping the tent door cause that helps a great deal with dry backs. My daughter and her friend ask me if i have my tent going before they visit cause of the light. And i get it your predicement don't wanna cause riffs during the holiday.

@cpurola you are doing fine still. Don't allow it to overwhelm you. From where you are at this point, you have a basic understanding of how everything works. Its more or so just trial and error from here. We all have gone through it. But you have to become the head chef in your kitchen. You have a lot of people just throwing information at you, myself included. The only thing I can suggest is to take a little time and do some reading on what you know to further your understanding of what people are telling you, so you can decipher what's wrong from right. Anyone that grows, doesn't hop right in the ring with Mike Tyson on their first grow. It takes time to build up the perfect structure indoors. Doesn't mean your plant isn't going to yield. But from here your yield and quality will improve overtime. You have plenty of people here that are helpful, you might want to find someone that has a similar setup to you and has success and try not to get to frustrated. When you get indoors dialed in, you can use a lot of the things you will learn and take it to outdoors as well to help improve there as well.
