Drinking from a Cattle Trough

First day full LED mode and it’s that top monitor in the pic. If I could keep that number to 10 degrees I was happy. Less than 1 degree variance and that’s with 1 exhaust running. My over ride exhaust never stopped under HIDs, it’s set at 81.
The learning continues…..IMG 1679
 
Weekly-
The Wife’s- finally got something growing. 4 o’clock for the center. For get me knots outside and a climberIMG 1694
Cloner- it’s a wrap here, do it again tomorrow maybe IMG 1695

Humidity is higher than I can ever remember, taking lemon tree forever to dry down Image
 
Lemon Tree x Okie
She’s been in my top 2 for a spell, and she still is😁!
I had my doubts on this run but she pulled through when others would have busted a pollen sack. She did too but not a seed to be found. Pulled her early, foxtails from hell, and she’ll still burn that head at 2 tokes👍!!IMG 1665

The most obvious change in my grow since switching to LED’s is the humidity. Pre LED I ran the dehumidifier a month in the spring and again in the fall.
Now, it runs 24/7 and I couldn’t keep it emptied fast enough. Causing a swamp effect every morning. So it was either a mini sump or a bigger resv.IMG 1717

I had the same issue with my dehumidifier in my last room set up.
Constantly running and pulling anywhere from 2 to 3 gallons from the air every 24 hours.
Luckily, my drain plug was a few inches higher so I was able to run a tube from that to the top of a 5 gallon bucket without having to lift the dehu.

Interesting note on the switch, ive only ever ran LEDs but that makes sense having less humidity before with the moisture getting fried out of the air im assuming

It’s a learning curve no doubt. I’m sure someone can explain. You were spot on about picking up the dehumidifier. That sucked so a redesign was needed 👍
 
Awesome!!!

Yeah, I believe my outdoor will be a nicer harvest than my indoor this round.....

I'm thinking of callin it quits on this indoor run?🤪

Still debating on it because I haven't seen anything in a while, but......

It's knowing I'm kinda in a battle/war as we type, not riddin everything and doin a deep clean to honestly and knowingly start fresh.....😌

Switching to the leds took me a sec or four to get it decently dialed in without meters and stuff....

You're killin it, in the right ways!!

The big hurdle for these lights is coming up in a few weeks. Spectrum control running perpetual:
Requires a controller for each light @ $180 each (2) needed
Not sure that will work even, I can run red blue and white independently so the possibility of controlling foxtails is there, but will it work?
These lights were a major investment, not regretting one penny of it
 
Worth the effort. 28 pucks avg 10 gram each pre-press so 280 gram’s of various flowers. Already pulled about 45 grams of rosin off. Couple$ worth Everclear and it’s free RSO after that, View attachment 2689614
Sounds like when you finish pressing, you have left a lot on the table! Worth capturing.👍

Beautiful plants and flowers! Looks like you need a weed eater in there to harvest. LOL

There’s more than I thought, why press if there’s that much left? Just go RSO from the get go?
Variety I guess, and in reality if it weren’t there and free I’d skip the RSO. Rosin gives me options for its end use. RSO for those times you just want to get f’n ripped! But the lungs take a beating 😂
