**First Grow** Journal (PUDC & Sour Power) with the Spider Farmer SE5000

[growsince79]

That’s a great idea! Maybe in the summer I’ll play with that

Just a couple hours a day. The sun makes them stretch.

bottom picture is Sour Power. I’m rooting the most for this one. It’s growing faster than the others and looks the healthiest to me so maybe the environment is perfect for this strain. Hope it’s Female!!!

Look great. Did you get the temps up?

Yeah a little bit. About 75-76 sometimes reads at 77. Humidity is 40% though. I think I’m going to grab a warm mist humidifier and use that during winter and the cool mist during summer for veg. I’m not sure if I should for this grow because I’m guessing within a few weeks they’ll be big enough to add some RH anyway. Plus once flowering I’m gonna let it get dry anyway.

you need a ac infinity programmable exhaust.

Got one!

Why is it so hard to get the temp to 82 @60% rh? What's it set at?

The exhaust can’t raise the temp or humidity...only lower it. If I set the fan for 82 it would just turn off. I‘d be better off with a warm mist humidifier I think. Maybe I‘ll grab one tomorrow.

I set mine at 82 and 60% and the fan stays off until it gets to 60% or 82f. Then it goes off and on as needed. It doesn't need to run constantly. If it did I'd be 75F @ 40%.

What about fresh air intake? Wouldn’t that be the downside?

Not a problem, it doesn't take long to hit the limits and start cycling on and off. When you get to late flower just adjust the limits down.

environment temp/RH are different from location, area and light manufacture and so on. His environment is not same as others to set the particular temp. Instead, i would focus on where the plant is happiest and keep it to that. in my journal 1st post i have a graph that shows plant growth at different temp/RH levels for both vegetative and flower stage.

my cold air from outside makes my room 70%RH and with my heater i bring it to 82f and with the fans it cools down to 80f. That with lights and all connected. Obviously due to heat the RH drops to 50+55%

fresh air is always good for plants.

Takes a long time for those little plants to deplete or even lower the co2 in that tent. The fan will be cycling long before that.

Picked up a warm air humidifier today...brings up RH a little bit...but still drops the temp. The mist is warm, so not sure why it drops temps down to 73F.

It seems I have a choice... 73F/55% RH or 76F/40% RH

Anyways...as momma always said...”Fertigate and rotate”.

In winter my humidity in my grow tents are between 30 to 35 percent and temps around 74 i have no problem growing and i also germinate my seeds in same enviroment. The way i look at it there weeds and welcome to your world.

Do you grow autos or photos? And what type of light do you use? I wonder how much those play into it, along with strain. I‘m hoping this grow goes well, and I hope my environment isn’t the limiting factor in my setup. I’d like to get the absolute best quality within the parameters of my equipment and seeds.

Photonteck 600 running right now at 210 watts and im growing gelato autos and northern lights auto and there growing like weeds.

Have you tried using the fan as it was designed to do? If you set the temp @ 82 and humidity @ 60% where does it stabilize? Your plants will grow much faster if you do.

Do you measure leaf temp? At 82f my leaf temps are 78.
