BigCube's grow show and tell.

[MIMedGrower]

I can set the dwell (area between target rh and the on state as well as how for below the target rh before it turns off.

I won't be running a dehumidifier, just a 4" 200 cfm duct fan and filter. Exhausting the humid air from the tent.

Oh. My mistake assuming about the dehumidifier.

In that case it should work well as long as you can avoid humid pockets forming among the buds.

@Aqua Man answered my worry. “Sensor placement is key”

Yup, that's why I'd have the fan in the tent always on.

Right now what I do is the same thing. But I have the exhaust just on. But it drys it real fast. Like 5 days. I want to slow that down a bit.

I thought of this, or a timer , but a timer I cant be sure of the rh at any given time. This sensor offers me control. Of course I'll have the sensor hanging in the center of the tent with the flowers

I'm thinking if I set the target rh at 60, have it come on at 61 take it down to 52ish and turn it off. So at first the fan will almost always be on, but as it drys out the time it takes the tent to get high rh will get longer causing it to exhaust less and less. Until it never goes above 60.

I had the same problem trying to dry in my old tent. Even a 4” inline fan is way too much exhaust to dry slowly.

i use a closet with a dark curtain and the exhaust fan in the room gently pulling air through the curtain. No direct fans on the buds at all.

Yeah I have the buds on branch hanging from the scrog net about mid tent. The fan is at the bottom blowing level in to a corner, just to get the air swirling around. Never blowing on it.

I started flushing so we will see in a week or two how it all goes

Wait! No one said we were going to discuss flushing!!!

;-)

 

[BigCube]

Alright, first week of flush is done, I've weened them back from 1000ppm to 12 (our tap water). Some leaves are starting to turn.

The Jah is impressive for a 1.5g pot lol.
The RBR is falling over like my gelato did, I'm really starting to wonder if I mixed the clones up, and it's only the mixture of jah and gelato making the blueberry smell. It looks exactly like my gelato.

Getting the other tent ready for the next show. 6" 305 CFM and filter. Hard to make it out, but there is a 240w kingbrite quantum board about an inch under the fan and filter.
Makes a nice tight setup.

Next run I guess will be the clones of gelato, but those will be the last clones for a while. Need to start in on all my seeds to see what interesting mixes I have

No the last pic was not an accident.. I mean it was, but it wasn't.

 

[BigCube]

Just an update on the GM. It looks real good so far, just started on full nutrients today. I've got 2 of them, so I hope I get at least 1 female. Also gave a couple to my dad, out of the 4 there has to be 1

What a beauty !!

Thanks! I'm wondering how the cross turns out. So far it seems very healthy, 4 of 4 germinated, all looking good, but this one looks the best

Awwwwwwwwweeeeeee....... they r so cute when they are small !

 

[BigCube]

Just an update, I've cropped them. The gelato came down 6 days ago and will be going in to jars today. The jah came down 3 days ago, and has a 4 or 5 more days of drying. Will have pics and stuff later, as well as final weights.

Soon to start up the next batch. Just need them to sex.

 

[BigCube]

Alright, all broken down and put in to jars. The 1 plant (turns out it was a gelato, I must have swapped the clones): is 191g

The jah was taken down 3 days behind the gelato, so it should be ready in a few days as well.

On one 240w kingbrite, that's pretty awesome. The jah looks to be a bit less than the gelato. I'll guess 140ish. Will update with numbers as it happens.

The humidistat really helped, normally with the exhaust fan on low full time, it dries in 4 or 5 days. With the humidistat set to come on at 55% and off at 54% it extended the drying time to 7 days! Works like a charm.

 

[BigCube]

All done, the jah came to 118g for a total of 309g not bad for no training and the jah was in just a 1.5g pot!

 

[BigCube]

Alright, things are in full swing. This is the tent that had WPM issues a a couple runs ago. So I'm being very cautious. It's been cleaned with bleach sat for 3 months empty then cleaned with bleach again before setting it up.

Left is a gelato, right is the gelato master mix. The bottom one is also gelato master mix, the 2 seedlings are purple kush x master.

I may change things around a bit, thinking in running both 3x3s at the same time.

 

[BigCube]

Update, they are going great. For some reason the cross is super bushy. More so than the original gelato. The purple kush cross seedlings are just starting nutes.

 

[BigCube]

Changed some stuff around, have both tents up now.

This is the gelato on the left master gelato on the right. First day of 12/12.

These are blueberry kush x master kush. Will scrog them out.

 

[BigCube]

Got this extra GM kicking around, you can see it in my older pictures. I'm not sure what to do with it, so I chopped it in half and tied all the branches down.

At least to slow it down some. I'll probably end up trashing it.

 

[BigCube]

Weekly update:

The GM and Gelato have been in flower for 4 days now. They are looking good.

The 2 BBKxMK are also doing well. Might get a net up un the next week or 2.

The extra GM is going to me dad's place, so he can fuck it up.

 

[BigCube]

Weekly update.

The gelato (left) and the master gelato (right) are in their 2nd week of flower. Or about 12 days.

The blueberry kush x master kush are still vegging nicely. I may just flip them and not train them at all. Nice big broad leaf. Its mother was a short squat purple stinky broad leaf. I'm hoping I get some of those good genetics here.
