Only problem is, I'm kicking myself for not buying the 36K BTU.</span></span></span>
So Rd. 2 was a bit of a bust. Just not the grade I am use to dealing with. I tried my best, but it just didn't turn out well.... Blast it.... And now here we are. Round 3. SHEDARAM begins! I have a nice variety going right now, I am not a huge fan of having multiple strains going at once, but I didn't want to pass up an opportunity to run some of these. The Jack is back, as well as the Tutankhamen, and new to the collection: Ace of Spades, Sweet Kush, and Dutch Treat. Currently I am about a week and half or so into bloom. They are really becoming giants The Ace of Spades (AoS) is just exploding. I'm 5'8 and they are atleast 4 inches taller than me. everything else is sitting around 5 ft give or take. Excuse the mess, I've been thinning a few out.
Looks crazy in there. Are you still doing 14 this time? Bigger a/c, What are the higher end of temps are you seeing? You can't be to far away from your 20% amp buffer
Same AC as round 2. Its been in the 80-90s over that past week outside. Between 6-8pm temps can go as high as 83-84. Not ideal, but drop to about 79-81 for the remainder of the day cycle. As for my 20amp buffer, still under.
Awesome setup, beautiful plants and I 100% agree that coco is the way to do it, man! The level you're on is exactly the direction I'd like to head. Nice DIY work, fiaburn! Subbed!
you weren't kidding. More light, bigger pots, bigger plants. My girls are huge. I am going to be crawling under them on this. Thanks for all the info. Maybe I will try coco next time? If you soak your plants that are in coco real good can you go 4-5 days with out watering if you had to? Only asking cause I can in soil, if I have to.
. The only way I move in there is crawling. It becomes normal before you know it. As for watering, I will water tonight (Monday) and again Thursday. Labor of love, hahaha. Early in flower I might go 4 days if I have to. Towards the end I'll go every other sometimes, just depends on how the ladies are drinking.
