[ugonehated]

looks real nice dude must say, how are u controlling the temp, it seems to me you are growing it as if it where a house plant ....Looks good

hi ungone
its inside a grow box with 250w hps - and a electric heater when needed, two pc fans and a fan with carbon filter.
The weather being a right pain at the mo - just going for a look at them in 2 mins - will update everyone soon

 

[shadrack]

hi all - Help needed

the weather doing my head in - i have added a small pc fan to help circulate the heat better - its helped a little.

ive currently got the 250 w hps about 10 inch from canopy - and canopy temp is now 80, and the temp at bottom of plant is 69.
69 is at the top of the 15ltr pot - so roots probably a bit colder - is this a problem?

could i have the lamp even closer if i can control the canopy temp with pc fan?

really struggled today to get even temp, spent all day trying to sort.:angry

Can you place a fan up above your light to blow the heat from the light around some? That's what I do to even out my temps. It's better than nothin........?

 

[shadrack]

progro - the little pc fan is kinda positioned to blow heat down and around - dont think the size of plants help, getting huge.
when i placed fan directly above light it seemed to cool the whole box down, air inlet is at the top so i think it blew more cold air onto light - cooling it all down too much.
damn weather not on my side at the mo -2 outside tonight and not much higher in the day

 

[ProGroWannabe]

Only other thing I can say is it could also be positioned down below---blowing upward.

 

[shadrack]

hi peps - weather a bit better/warmer today.
got the fan about same height as the light blowing heat around an no problems so far - 79 at the canopy and 72.5 at bottom of the plant .
gona feed them soon - upped the a and b to 2.5ml per ltr last feed and they seem to like it, see if i can get some photo's on later :rastadancing:

 

[shadrack]

HI ALL, there doing fine temp is now great with the pc fan blowing and slightly better weather. :rastadancing:

Took some pics
HOW DO YA ALL THINK THERE DOING

Gave them a feed too - Day 25 flowering

 

[ProGroWannabe]

Looks to me like ya got em figured out! You should be harvesting some fine bud before long.

 

[shadrack]

I CANT WAIT :anim_30: - ON THE SOLID TILL HARVEST - its rank

They smell so sweet - Ive done nothing but read up on growing since starting - already planning my next grow.
gona do two plants and LST them and get a proper crop.
This will help with the heat control too.

I think the one i bent is gona have a much bigger yield - and thats just a bending not LST!

[ProGroWannabe]

scotfree....thanks bro. That's kinda the spirit of he farm. Farmers helpin farmers....:handshake

".....what ya all thinkin"

I'm thinkin you've done one helluva job bringin em back, that's what I'm thinkin! The node spacing looks great. You should yield well from those.

 

[shadrack]

ty scotfree - ur right pal peps on the farm are happy to help - and i must say a big up to progro for all your help and putting up with me.

Must say that i was in a state when having probs - it good to be able to get some good advice from the farming pro's

And a big up to all you fellow farmers

glad you's thinking there looking good - im having a good play about with the camera - hoping to get some real bud shots soon. I try do some every 2 days.

I got some real plans for my next grow - and i cant wait

 

[shadrack]

quick update all is well - did plain water today - day 29 flowering chaps. Did a few picies ( not the best ive done, but had to be quick). Hope you all agree there doing ok.

i cant see much difference - are the bud sites growing much - or is it just me, can you all tell a difference, ( i think its because i spend so much time with them every day)

 

[dj.scotfree]

Looking great IMHO! You love them and they are loving you back! I know some companies... get a bad rep for products...not always true! I've been wanting to try some DP Blueberry..smoked some of it 2 years ago...tasted like a berry fruit salad! Anyway...I've read that the DP Blueberry seed packs tend to be mutants...Yours is far from a mutant! Good luck to ya! Looks like ya got everything dialed in!

 

[shadrack]

ty scotfree - your right pal ive also read a lot about dp blueberry and fem seeds. i must say they have grown like troopers since day one. germinated with in 24 hrs (all 4 out of 4) i went with the fem has not much space and didnt want to waste any time with getting say mostly males.
I have smoked blueberry a few times in the last 12 months and its got to be up there with some of the best smokes / tastes ive had.
Gona see what this lot is like and next time gona do 1 dp fem blueberry and maybe a AK 47 or DP white widow fem
and LST THEM BOTH
Thanks for your comments
