Grow diary mission impossible (low to medium budget lol)

[BearWater]

Mornin everyone! School is over and baseball is over and now we do nothing!!!! we do, just not all the “stupid” stuff lol(LET THE HALO CAMPAIGN BEGAN!!!). Things Are moving along. I’ve got a couple more adjustments to make in the room, im going to mess with the exhaust and intake to try and use the cool air during the night hours. My Lowe’s are like 73 degrees, there’s no reason for my AC to be running (I need more inlet air). I’ll be able to get things messed around this weekend (we’re headed to the LOTR trilogy!!!).

DAY 20/19: raised the light again on the Raskals side, It started looking a little light green again and had been very picky about the light from the get go.

So what kind of wood are the those 2x6s,

I think it’s pine. I wanted to get pressure treated but thats where the price jumps up : )

Day 23 Flower:
found some 12” inline “just on” fans at Home Depot that im going to get and install in place of the 6inchers I have going. Ill figure out ducting when that time comes, as of now I havent messed with the current intake (I may be able to get better results if I switch the fan around and ditch the duct) but at this rate 6inches isn’t cutting it. “THATS WHAT SHE SAID!” - Micheal Scott

Im going to add some “bud builder juice” to the the feeding regiment. I feel like things should be a little, plumper, a little more juicy, a little more all around shazammy (there is zero trichome production).

There’s a plant in my thread about 2 days difference to compare it to. I’m usually a little frustrated at this point myself. We’ve been watching em stretch and then they just Stop

I’ll go check it out : ) thanks! Yeah they stretched a little I guess, I just expected more of a stretch haha. But I do need to pump the brakes a little lol.

Thanks for the recommendation

Hahaha yeah thats it, im sticking with that! : )

The two are still out siding, the one hasn’t slowed its flowering role lol. The clones I took are mostly doing well in their solo cups. I’ll start getting them outside and up potted in another week or so (pics to come).

Greets back atcha!!!!

About 10 years ago I was doing sone work for a gen contractor and we were remodeling a 1920 hone in Orange and I got a small piece of ceder from their hall closet that we had to incorporate into the new master bath. About once every few years I'll pull it out and cut it just to smell that ceder. I love that pine smell too

I’ve got tons of cedar up here too! I cut some up for a project last week and it made me itch hella bad!! Hahah! I LOOOVE the pine smell : ) love cutting and splitting it. Have you ever smelled oak? It’s almost got that “old man cologne” smell!

Hey all GOT A BIG ONE HERE!!!!!! hit me like a ton of bricks, my AC is running all day and all night. Lights are on at night from 10pm-10am, the whole reason being I could use the cool air to control lights on temps (made sense) well the damn shed wont cool off at night without the AC ( I need more CFM fans for that to happen). So why dont I just have my lights on during the day ( AC is already running) and then lights off would actually be pretty cool with evening temps and exhaust! WTF!? You guys have any theories (other than me being a crazy asshole) or experience in the AC department in regards to what im trying to do here? I feel like I’m a couple steps behind the game the last few weeks : )

oh and I got some crazy Ideas about adding some red lighting to my set up ( I really want the spider farmer add on leds just cant swing that into the budget this round).Un-Edison LED Grow Light Bulb Red Spectrum Replaces up to 100W - A19 Flowering Plant Growing Light Bulb for Bloom Cycle https://a.co/d/gAesk0J think adding four of those around my existing light would help? Or not enough juice?

I think there’s only one way to find out! I don’t think I would worry about adding any lights until after this grow! Never hurts to think ahead, though!

Oak trees all around where we live so yup. Good hard wood that burns great in a fire pit, in the Mountains

 

[Oldchucky]

Burns great in my old beater woodstove. That is my only source of heat in this place! L O L.

Im down to find out hahaha. So do you think it just wouldnt make a difference with the time left?, they have 40ish days flower left (I could be wrong on the count down). Im definitely going to throw some “bud stacker stuff” in the mix though, good right?

 

[Oldchucky]

I suppose you would know in a few days if it’s going to work! But I’m not the one to ask about the other stuff! I don’t grow in coops Or feed my plants! Maybe that’s why they are so runty! Lol!

If they’re all big you gotta trim more! Sounds like you got it figured out I could better spend the coop allowance on a bigger fan for the exhaust situation who knows, ill probably figure it out in a couple days and then make my move. Thanks chucky!

I run with the sun with lights on from 7am to 7pm in flower and I will never go back to keeping grow day active at night. f%$^k that

It is really a pain in the ass hahaha! I’m hopeful the switch will help overall ac usage also. I’m already looking forward not having to use the green light : )

I'm no expert but show me best you can in a pic layout and describe what your settings are for your vent system. I've built a couple systems over the years and this just doesn't add up
