Day 163, 66 of flower; chop day
I’m glad I picked a day I have a few hours of free time because it definitely needed it. What I did was take everything out of both tents, scrubbed it all with water, then alcohol diluted into water, then water again.
I completely stripped the 3x3 which is where I will be drying for 7-10 days, the only things in there are a small fan, the 2 foot heating pad, and the inline fan working from 7-8 am, 2-3 pm, 7-8 pm, and midnight to 1-am. The reason I’m doing this is because I feel like temperatures will dip too much. I have the small fan going 24/7, nothing pointing directly at the drying plants but enough for them all to be moving around.
In the flower tent, I have my 5 plants in 5 gallon fabric pots, all of which got a pretty serious pruning. I’m going to train them with a trellis in a few days when they recover from the heavy pruning, but at least they all get airflow now. Set the
mars hydro ts3000 to about 40% power, will wait to see how they respond. Gonna stick with an 18/6 schedule for about a week or two and will see where they’re at. Got my 4 foot heating pad going, set it to turn off if it reaches 90° which I doubt it will ever get close to with 3 fans and an inline fan going all the time.
How do these plants look? They got their last water a few days ago, but they’re still moist except for the top few inches of soil. Somehow the gnats are still going at them, hopefully with 4 fans it’ll evict at least a few. No new ones on the sticky traps, maybe that damage will just be permanent on the leaves? Slightly over fertilized, but nothing bad. Still have another top or two in them and trellis net.
Long post today, any and all advice is appreciated.
