You can buy meters but they aint cheap brotherDon’t know if they were russets or spiders. I just know that I saw a few of them with my Loupe. A cheap one with the lights on it. Didn’t become a huge problem. Probably spiders if they are that much larger. And measuring the nitrogen in a brew has always been a guessing game and an experiment for me but the strips were the only thing I could think of.If there is a better way that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg I’m open for suggestions. Thanks for the help, aqua!
Thanks man !
Since I checked in yesterday I figured I would add more detail ,an idea and pics from my first grow .
I have CO2 with Inkbird controller and used some in both grows but do not feel I was applying it properly ,and many say it only tops off perfect conditions so I stopped .
My room is not sealed 100% and when it gets warm the fan brings in outside cold fresh air . I am thinking of build a loop outside the room with 6 inch metal pipe/hose .
Have one fan draw in and another push out at opposite ends of the room [ floor / ceiling ] and let the distance outside the room [ 25 linear feet] cool the air without exchanging any .
Outside the room is unheated and I am in North East so it would hopefully act like a radiator .
Then maybe I can run CO2 for last couple weeks of bud properly ?
I got Coast of Maine kelp today .
Like many other hobbies it is fun to get and do stuff but you can only mess with plants so much .
So adding a new neut or gizmo helps pass the time .
I am probably 1 fert away from switching from Beastie bloomz to Cha Ching in my flower cycle.
I have dosed the MB Secret sauce mentioned in another thread also . I believe it replaces the Bembe in the FF line up with some much better ingredients . Said to be used after flower starts ,I got it right on time and used it twice so far.
I was using Jacks Calcium which is 15-0-0 with epsom salt for Mg ,but got a bag of Roots Organic yesterday and will use that from here out unless there is an issue .
I figure plants will flower till 10 weeks as my last could have maybe even gone longer ,but I offered them less help since it was my first indoor .
I don't 'flush' but I will run water only when i think I am at 2 weeks to cut.
I will use a loop to decide when to cut .
So enough rambling ,everybody loves pictures huh ?
I used Ethos for my first grow also . Mandarin cookie, Grape Diamond and Hash Plant .
Here is what I got for pics, the room first ;

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend !!
Do you use netting? Looks like those buds are gona get ginormous!40% Maybe bit soon your asking me are you haha
All sounds good man , be intresting to see you end results now if nosed at your stuff and spoken to you about littelly everything :)
I can't see me spending 500 on one then lol , I didn't know about the cheaper insane the math fuck that, if I pay over 100 I expect it to tell me not do the work for it.
Ye you did tell me the other day your using RO water
Embarrassingly enough I have never used a net/ scrog!Do you use netting? Looks like those buds are gona get ginormous!
I tied my bigger buds that where hanging down to other large branches in the other side of the plant with wire because I move my plants to water them so hanging lines from the ceiling wouldn’t have worked for me , I also spin mine around each watering tooEmbarrassingly enough I have never used a net/ scrog!
I am considering .but I spin my plants and nets don't allow that.
I do use yo-yos for weak branches but they are few and far between.
That grow had good sized buds and held up fine through 10-11 weeks of flower[ first indoor grow for me]!
Should you condition the air? Its gonna get worse for the next two months.98f today and therm said 105 in green house!Basic heat wave here like many other places.No chande so to speak for next week.
Pics on the weekend.
The room is air conditioned, but I will not go that far with greenhouse.Should you condition the air? Its gonna get worse for the next two months.
Hey, your plants look great growing in that heat, It must be a job keeping them watered, I'm going through water in my 3 gallon fabric pots every 2 days now, I used to water - feed but I'm now water water feed to get through 1 week and we're not close to your temps. We finely have some warm weather but still only 2 days between thunder showers & clouds. its the close to 100% humidity everyday that's hard to handle. Typical weather for us through the summer, some years like last year there's not as many sunny days. They are also now advising not to go into the water within 2 days of rain fall because run off water has contaminants in it toxifying our lakes & beaches with bacteria & other crap........The room is air conditioned, but I will not go that far with greenhouse.
But the room could be done soon and then plants can go in?
My Apples and Bannas along with my Grape Gas clones are all in the tent in the room under 18/6 and living a little more comfy.
I didn't want any of the clones to flip and many in green house are preflowering now..
Besides going through more water the plants have been troopers IMO.
I would 100% be using plastic pots outside in those temps!Hey, your plants look great growing in that heat, It must be a job keeping them watered, I'm going through water in my 3 gallon fabric pots every 2 days now, I used to water - feed but I'm now water water feed to get through 1 week and we're not close to your temps.

I only have peppers outside in fab pots. Its my indoor grow that they are drying out so fast, the heat and my 2 dehumidifiers running 24/7 pulling moisture from everywhere pots included. This is my first year in the fab pots, I like how the roots grow in them and my plants are healthy when watered. They seems to dry out the last half faster than the first. I can check my plants in the am and think they are fine buy by the afternoon they are dry and hanging that didn't happen in plastic.I would 100% be using plastic pots outside in those temps!
Sunscreeen ? in Nova Scotia? on this whale? lol...good one....When I lived in Hawaii late 70's only the tourist were in the sun, the locals hang in the shade drinking cool ones. I think that's the same in a lot of places so being local...I stay in the shade.Damn, PC! You are going to have to break out the sunscreen! Don’t know how your humidity is steamroller. But I would just apply a little horse sense when dealing with new environments. I would think hot and dry The plants will still do a lot of respiring and require normal or more water. Hot and humid I would think would reduce the respiration thus requiring less water. I would just watch the plants and Water when they begged for it. I may be way off base here. And if it’s humid try and get as much evaporation going out of the pots as possible with fans, etc. That can keep your Roots they little cooler. You probably have figured this out. Just my two cents. Keep those plants looking good!
ya, that's what my septic/ toilet/shower runs into...the grey water isn't as fancy lol... large steel drum in the ground with holes in the drum. I have to cover the drum ( I'll fill it with crushed rock, its half full of dirt from the backhoe cave in) and run a trench full of crushed gravel deep enough so that -30 c won't freeze itLol! That’s brutal! It’s not like you can put off a sewer repair. My shit is even older than that. It’s just a big brick lined hole in the ground probably eight or 9 feet in diameter and 10 or 12 feet deep. No Leitchfield. Just goes in the top and drains out through the bottom. I guess it’s referred to as a cesspool. Lol But it can gobble up some water and sewage. Think it got grandfathered in.
I follow your thread and consider your info valuable.Hey, your plants look great growing in that heat, It must be a job keeping them watered, I'm going through water in my 3 gallon fabric pots every 2 days now, I used to water - feed but I'm now water water feed to get through 1 week and we're not close to your temps.
