Do you have one to recommend? I'm not sure how to fit one into a grow tent either.Temp is most likely the culprit. You need a mini split ac.
South TexasHoitty.Toitty, might I ask where you are located? ...in a generalized location is just fine
I've been giving them a monthly top down of 4-4-4 (It's time I was going to do it today but I decided to get opinions on it instead). I should know my pH but I don't I'll do better in future to answer questions. I've been watering by hand with a 4gal pack sprayerYou also need to feed them. What kind of nutes do you have?
What's your pH? How are you watering?
It got a little too cold actually and stunted them a littleMakes sense...Heat Central with humidity from the gulfYou would have had better results with your cold snap a while back
Thank you your when to water explanation actually really helps. Tomorrow I'll water and have numbers for you.Watering for Soil Growers Only
Watering in Soil Watering plants gives many new growers anxiety issues. Because we want our plants to do the best they can, we over water and some even underwater. To help relieve the stress and confusion, this is sort of a step by step of what to do and look for when you grow in soil...www.thcfarmer.com
Well than these are some miserable bitches cause that's what I feel like any time I have to go in the tent.On that note, a little rule of thumb...If you feel comfortable inside your grow space, so do your plants
WOW! Those are some severe looking plants, and those temps do not help you at all with your grow. Seems like you have spend a great deal of money on great inline fans, but your problem is high temps outside, I suspect, at least high enough that combined with your lights and the heat they produce plus anything else you have running in your tent, you have high temperatures in your grow space, which is a 4 X 8 tent. Not knowing your total layout and what you are trying to accomplish, but I will make some comparisons for you on alternatives to what you are trying to do, but spending maybe a little more and not getting the results you are looking for. I have a cloud nine 6" inline with temp and humidity controls with remote sensor...just one and I know that cost me just over $200. CDN, so considering you have 4 without extra controls, then it would cost you about $160 CDN for each of the 4 X 6" fans you have, bringing that total to $640. CDN....not including the 4" inline fans you have which lets say for a roundabout figure is $75 CDN (staying conservative. That equates on the cheapest side about $ 800 (+ any extra shipping) for just fans. Here is a scenario which I have chosen to use because my outside environment, which I use to try and intake my outside air and exhaust tent air to the outside could not cope with outside changes in in my environment, dragging in hot humid air in the summer, added with heat components and not expect to see a rise in temperature inside your grow space. I saw this myself in different climate conditions outside, as it affects everything on the inside, so here is what I did, and I think you will understand the difference from what you are try to accomplish as you what you have been doing. I purchased a dual port portable air conditioner on Amazon, delivered to my door for $434 CDN, purchased 1 X 6" Cloud Nine Infinity with sensors for $200 CDN for a total of roughly $650 CDN, but this dual port air conditioner gives me so much more control on temperature and humidity levels in my much comparable size of space of 7 x 7. So, looking as heat from the outside as a source of your problem might be better spent on looking at what works best for the price. In saying this, yes there is certainly an increase in electrical costs in running an air conditioner, but if you really want the results you want to get, then maybe some re-thinking on what you want with less fans, which only move air but not necessarily more heat, especially during certain times of the year, then maybe gaining control of your environment is what you are looking for. Also, this particular setup is not the end to all, but it helps you establish a grow environment that is sealed, controllable, and hence helps prevent pests becoming a problem in your garden, and it allows for the addition of supplemental CO2 into your garden if you desire later (but is additional costs) …but first, you need to get a handle on your environment and maybe you should look at re-thinking what you have and what you want, then make some serious considerations. Enclosed, I am including a few pics to show you how a re-think might help you alleviate a lot of grief down the road, but feel free to look about for ideas that you want to work for you, and I am sure success will come your way ! Sorry so, long, but you wanted my opinion, but others might have more to add. Best of luck, and if you need more info, I'll do what I can to help
