First 4 X 4 Auto Grow

gwheels · Dec 2, 2016

In order to make it a little easier on myself i turned the light down. I now have 5 cobs on (310 wats). The raw diesel sprang back to life. I think it was looking heat stressed and I don't want to murder my babies and maybe i have to go at this a little slower while i learn :) . When I hit flower i can go full light on them because I will have everything in place to make it work :) . Or i will have a 310 watt grow and I am ok with that to check it out.

I also started 2 shot adreneline samserra seeds because I have room in the tent now that i have more order. I will manipulate the space a little better and tie up all of the wiring really nice this coming week. If I have to keep it at a lower wattage to learn it is still a huge jump from a 100 watt mars light and i did ok with that one :). I think I got about 45 grams from one plant in a grow box and it is some stanky 60% amber trich stuff.

That raw diesel already smells strong of weed. That kush in the growbox took way longer to get stanky. I am looking forward to trying it out

Things are looking ok I think. It is the bestust hobby ever :)

More stuff I learned....that light is warm. And the warmth is making the humidity lower than it should be. For now i have a wet towel in the tent and a bucket of water with an aquarium stone in it to produce some humidity. Tomorrow i will add a cool air humidifier to the grow tent and i think that might do it. As it is right now i actually do have to water them every other day because they are getting dry. Things change when you go from 100 watts to 550. The good news is at full blast it peaks out at 84 degrees after 18 hours on. So that is about as high as I want it to get. That is with an oscillating fan and the scrubber on full power. And since i added the actual clamps it is working quieter. Next for that i will put in a rubber thing between the scrubber and the fan to cut it down as far as i can get it. I will get that with the humidifier.

Bannacis you steered me right! Again :)

Hey don't worry about humidity.
Let your plants adapt from seedlings to the harsh environment.

My house during winter running the heat is around %25-%30. With humidifier running in the house (for every room not just tent) it's around %34-%36.

Here is a current shot of home conditions. The "outdoor" is tent environment. The "indoor" is the home environment.

As you can see its harsh being a cannabis plant living in my home lol.

Once the low humidity home air enters the tent. Whether it's the lower or upper chamber. The fixtures warm up that air decreasing %Rh.

The plants do adapt to the low %Rh.
They transpire more water which means soil dries out faster. Just keep your soil moist and you'll be golden.

Plus low humidity in flower increases trichomes.

Things are still moving along well. One of my trans siberians is way healthier than the others. :D The diesel is loving the light and i cranked it up again with bigger wet towels. I will check on everything in the morning. I think 84 and 25% humidity is not so bad because I have see rougher environments :D thanks man !!!

we are rocking 550 watts again.

And I have two shot adreniline in my 100 watt growbox in the garage. When I get them to the 3rd node i will bring them into the warmth.

I love my light. If time and border bullshit was not a factor i would have gone with that Pacific Lighting Concepts 6 cob light. I love that dimmer and I think it is some rock solid LED stuff. And it is fucking waterproof hello.

Gwheels had a couple of beers while doing this post. My babies are growing well and I am feeling some satisfaction from that. A 6 ounce grow is well within my reach and that will be the biggest indoor ever. I grew 3 in a greenhouse once from clones that got me 12 oz so when i pass that I really did it. And I know I can. :) and you guys will help me if i think i cant. Thanks everyone you guys are helping me in ways you can not imagine :)

Nice and symmetrical.

gwheels · Dec 7, 2016

Here is a pic from just now. I have the humidity at 30 to 50% because of the wet towel i add in the morning. Once the babies hit flower i will stop with the towels. My heat is perfect now because i used a clamp on the exhaust instead of tape. I keep a beauty 78 degrees in the tent now. I moved the diesel closer to the light and left the babies closer to the ground so they can get a little healthier and then i will move the light down on them all (18 inches from the top). It is growing ok for now. The diesel just went to bloom nutrients this week.

gwheels · Dec 9, 2016

From now on i will update my grow pics weekly unless I have a question. And Friday is a good day to do it. :)

Man looking at your first posts only being on the 18th and then seeing the diesel that big now makes me so jealous.
That thing looks gorgeous and is growing so fast.

gwheels · Dec 9, 2016

That one was planted in my grow box oct 16. :) That is why it is bigger. It is week 6. The others are on week 3 from seed. I find it takes a good 3 to 4 weeks for the seed to develop roots or something and then the auto starts actually getting bigger. Then the 3 or 4 weeks of veg are on and then after that flower for 4 to 6 weeks on the strains I have grown. All my indoors are autos. Today Dec 1 I added one shot adreniline. :D Now I am going to let it grow :D

Haha I knew something was up! Yah my plant just hit day 20 so I'm excited to see some real big growth start to happen of my own. I swear I stare at this plant and try to watch it grow lol, I wish i could hibernate for a couple weeks.

justiceman · Dec 10, 2016

That diesel looks like it has done a decent amount of stretching since the 2nd :cool: Ya man can't wait to see how she looks in a few weeks!:fire:

I remember them days.. I opened the tent so much I would just leave it open.
Now a days I'm over it. I haven't been down to so the clones in 2 days... maybe 3 today....
And I stuck my head in the flower tent, pulled a leaf that looked like it had white powder on it, closed the tent, went to bed... lol ..
But it's the weekend now... so when they get up at 5 I be there.....
"And he stopped loving her today"......

Lol never... I'm but ready to yank them all a Lil early.. They are seedy, making hash out of it anyway. And I need to get everything cleaned up for Christmas. Then Jan 2nd

The saga continues. ..........

Hahaha! I knew one of the vets was gonna chime in and be like "I remember that feeling". It is really fun and i'm excited to have started a new hobby thats also going to benefit me health wise, unlike collecting stamps or some shit. We have about 60 people at the house for Christmas eve, this plants probably gonnna be pretty smelly by then, I didn't think of that in advance ha!!.

Just keep it closed up in tent or closet AND don't open door til everyone's gone.. If they smoke just smoke some weed.. after that everyone's noses will be relaxed to the smell...

EventHorizan · Dec 10, 2016

I'm not a vet neither.. That takes years! Mater fact I still have to wear the red hard hat... ( coal miners will understand ) lol...
I have harvested with this harvest over a couple p's.. so I would call me a apprentice in training...
As with anything in life it helps to have good vocabulary, comprehension, and math skills...

Friday pic. Things are growing and it is looking ok. I have two baby seedlings on the ground and the other plants at various elevations to even out the light over them.

justiceman · Dec 16, 2016

Those seedlings are looking great and that raw diesel is coming along nicely. How many weeks into flower is she?
