Overwatered? Second Grow In Soil.

[ComfortablyNumb]

If you can't get an A/C, we can try a swamp cooler to cool the air before it goes into the tent.

Definitely getting an A/C just can't decide if i wanna do a window unit rigged to blow into the tent or a portable A/C inside the tent. pros and cons to both saving floor space in the tents would be nice

I would mount it outside and duct it in. The more grow room you have, the better.

That's what I'm thinking I'm gonna do it'll be hella janky but it'll work until I can get the funds for a better setup

Yep. We upgrade a peice at a time. We just got done swapping our light bar out. That was tough during a grow. But we needed the light. One of the others went out last week.

You also need to feed them. What kind of nutes do you have?
What's your pH? How are you watering?

Update: the pH on the water is 7.3 with an EC of .9 that's just my well water I usually bring it to 6.5 but I was already behind and needed to get it done. Soil pH was between 5.5 and 5.8 on the 6 plants I tested within easy arm length. Did get some A/C rigged up working on a more permanent situation hopefully will have it setup this weekend going for supplies tomorrow.

Get a carbon water filter also. It helps with pH.

 

[Hoitty.Toitty]

Can I get a link on what you mean? My brain just keeps listing types of water filters.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Something like this is all you need.

Lights off during the hottest part of the day. I grow in an uninsulated shed.

I literally had this thought last night I'll change my light timers up thanks for your input man

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Don't change your timers is you already have plants growing.
It will freak them out and possibly stunt them.

If you can put a shade on the shed, the temps will plummet at least 20 deg. And if you pile dirt around it up to the top of the walls, it will even further reduce temps.

His plants are looking pretty sad so probably wouldn't hurt. I bet if he took three days to incrementally adjust the schedule to desired hours would reduce stress.

this is why I want a basement.

I think with all the stress they are already under it will kill them. Not a chance I want to take.

Well we lost power because of a storm the other day so I just went ahead and set them to a new schedule since their already jacked up. I'll post some update pics later tonight I think they look better, but I'm also red/green colorblind so I miss some of the subtler shifts in color.

Unfortunately its not a shed its a barn more specifically a barndo so its got like a little apartment on top where I live. I didn't think I'd be living here long or I'd have just built a grow room inside the barn area instead of getting tents. Hopefully be able to do that in the future as my end goal is to practice the ability to cultivate a large number of plants as I want to start a grow company.

So here's a picture update:

My Worst looking one:

My Mother:

I have moved my Mother into my 8x8 with the rest of my girls since its the same light cycle this is temporary and the plan when I move her back is to take one light out and then daisy chain my flowering tents exhaust into my mother tent its not as good as giving the mother tent its own unit but I think it'll work until I can frame a room out for everything.

@Habosabin ,@ComfortablyNumb , @HaveApuff Tagged yall cause yall are giving feedback and stuff lemme know if you don't wanna be tagged in future updates.

Hey all plants are looking better but in the interest of making sure they stay healthy I'm asking when do yall think I should water again. It's getting close to a week (6 days today 6/29) I'm really concerned about overwatering while the heat was really doing a number I think I may have been watering to often so until I get them healthier and I can actually see when the leaves are droopy instead of just sick looking I'm gonna ask for opinions, just until their healthy again and I get a better routine down. I did once hear a tip saying pick up your bags and see how heavy it is and I can tell the top is light but the bottom still has some heft. Thanks for taking the time to respond its always appreciated
