Day 3
Looks like Im losing one of the girls...wilting badly and another struggeling a little. Just added water as she was a bit dry but still moist at the bottom? Dont know if that will help.

Added the humidifier and so far only increased by 2 degrees. Was expecting more like 10?
Also added yeast based co2 setup. I heard you need higher temps like mid to high 80's to be effective?
Until next time, happy farming.

Day 5
Dec 19
Yesterday I watered as the soild was a little dry...
! cup of water per little ones
2 cups on big
This morning looks good, nice growth and all look strong. Tonight I'm planning on topping a few plants to get that extra bud production.
Pulled the one girl we lost...I was hoping she would come back but curled up and died, oh well
the crop continues.
Until next time, Happy Farming

Well it's been a while since I posed...This hobby sure has a lot to learn.
Started with 9 plants but thought I would lose some so i added a few more clones.
Then got stupid and while at the club saw a couple realy nice strains and got a few more.
I only lost one plant since December 15th.
Now Im up to 20 plants with 9 in veg and 11 in flower.
Too much stress with watering issuees along with some learning curves and had 3 turn Hermie on me. It ended up being the same strain, Sour D.
Got them out and into their own tent now, removed some male looking parts and they look like they are continuing to grow girl flowers.

My original tent is now running one 600 watt MH with inline cooling fan and carbon scrubber.
Doing good with lots of new growth every night.
Temps with lights on 77 and rh @44 and off 68 and 56
Distilled water, Cal mag suppliment with nutes every other watering
Plants in my Veg room:
Two Candyland, 6 weeks
Two Superglue, 6 weeks
Two Bubba's gift, 6 weeks
Three Purple Urkle, 6 weeks, Sensitive to nutes, needs to be low nitrogen

I built a 5'x7' flower room running Two 315 LEC, no air cooling with one 600 watt hps, air cooled and carbon scrubber. This room is awesome. Temps with lights on at 78, RH @ 40 and off @ 65 and RH at 50.
Distilled water, cal mag suppliment, nutes every other watering
Plants in my flower room:
One B2 5 weeks in flower
Two Chem Dawgs 2 weeks
Two Dutch treat 2 weeks
Two Gorilla Glue 2 weeks

Here are some recent pics

Until next time Happy Farming!

Amost forgot my favorite plant...Mendo Breath F2
Awesome strain, slow grower but really strong and healthy. Branches on it's own.
Cant wait for harvest.
This girl is gonna be good!!
