Very well said, Star....YAY!!!     But this is what this group does....I've seen it in other threads & aimed at other members....Ignore them & stop "liking" their posts....they will go away  LMAO!   Ok, not trying to keep this shit going, but had to comment after being gone for awhile....You & Ty are doing great!!!  Keep your grow going & watch your harvest temps & humidity....good JOB!!!

Both me and the wee one are monkeys! Extremely fitting for that lil dude crawling and jumping all over everything.


Hope you have a good one brotha.



Got any pictures of weed?

 

Either or both!

 

Pics of errythang!



You are using soil and bottles this round?


Def wanna get that humidity up! I'm having the same problem wiht the cooler weather, so I stuck my humidifer back out in the garage area and its keeping it about 55-60% right now. the plants will perk up and grow quicker if you get that RH up homie.

 

Oh Good Boy....I see you've got the 62% Bovedas.....LOL   Lookin' good, Ty....but yep, need to get the RH% up like Iron said....damn dry Colorado air! 
 
~Sunny~

 

My rooms are usually 50-60%....they would be much lower if I wasn't using Swicking Totes under my Smart Pots....really helps!  And when I'm drying, I have a warm mist humidifier ($35 Bed, Bath & Beyond LOL) that I put just outside with the door cracked...keeping the RH% at 60-70%.....higher the temps, lower the RH = drying too fast!  You can lose & damage a harvest in a matter of hours if you're not careful!  Go ahead & flip, Ty....If the RH% is too high for some reason, use more fans to circulate the air, if too low you can use wet towels or humidifier...or even a bucket of water...thing is, if too high you run the risk of PM/Molds, etc....I haven't had a problem with it & sometimes my RH% will get in the 80's after watering, etc....I just turn on all the fans & blow it out! 
 
~Sundance~  does that answer your question???  Iron, add something???  LOL
 
EDIT::  Black Gold Organic is good shit & much cheaper than the Fox Farms....good for seedlings & clones...but are you using bottled nutes during Veg & Flower???  I started out with FF Grow Big for Veg & Tiger Bloom for Flowering...but now I use EWC/Kelp/Molasses teas...but I must admit, if something is looking a bit "off" I will mix a small amt of Grow Big & give it to them...I'll do this until the bottle is completely gone...waste not, want not  LOL

 

@sundance6758 where do I find the swicking totes? I tried looking them up and didn't see anything about them. Yesterday I put a small humidifier outside the cabinet intake hole and the rh went up a little but not enough. We really want the plants to perk up a little before flipping to flower so we know they are nice and healthy.

Ok, a swicking tote is a container that is filled with Perlite....you water the Perlite/Tote & the Smarties basically water themselves....Another member, Noobwannab's (I'll find the thread & post the link) came up with a way to water Smart Pots...they can be a pain in the ass to work with sometimes...hard to water, etc....Anyhow, I gave it a shot last year & was amazed how well it worked!  Beautiful fat roots that "reach" outside of the Smartie for the water perlite....I was ill (pneumonia) for 3 weeks earlier this year & it saved my flowering ladies...I would just water the tote & they would take what they wanted... 
 
Anyhow, I use 62qt flat plastic totes...it will hold 2 plants in 10gal Smart Pots sitting side-by-side....I took a solo cup & cut out the bottom, sunk it into the perlite so I could fill & monitor the water under the perlite....you want to keep the water approx. 2" below the perlite bed...that way the Smart Pot isn't saturated with water....this also works for hard pots, but NOT as well....I'll look up the thread right now &  also go down & take some pics of mine....I have 5 Swicking Totes being used right now, but have room in my flowering room for at least 4-5 more....I'll be back!  LOL
 
~Sundance~  coffee!   & wake Ty up....LMAO!

 

OK.....here is Noob's thread on Swicking....

Also, some pics I just took.......I use totes with wheels...easier to move around...also NOT 62qt, they are 67qt....oops!  LOL  I also line the tote with plastic, just to be safe from leaks...

Blueberry & Minion City Diesel in a tote   Fill with totes with this ($16 at H. Depot)    But save some to mix with this:    And mix all in this:    And you will get a lot of this 
 
~Sundance~  LOL  

 

The ultrasonic humidifiers are best.. the ones with the filters suck balls. I got a couple different kinds of both and the ultrasonic one is by far the best.


Go ahead and make the switch mayne.

 

I got the Bed, Bath & Beyond cheapy...works great!  Holds 1 gal of water, with a low & High setting....Warm mist!  You can stand there & watch it pump out the moisture....I go with whatever works & is cheap!  I'm OLD, go figure....LMAO!   Anyhow, mine doesn't have any kind of "filter" that I can see....& once the RH% is up, I can switch it to LOW & it'll hold there for quite awhile....works great at night!  I fill it before going to bed & it still has H2O in it when I get up....it has a automatic shut off when H2O is gone....I don't have to run it much during flower due to Swicking Totes, but with harvest & drying I run it all the time....
 
~Sundance~  Do whatever works for you!  This is when you "tweek" your grow, Ty...so that you know what works & what doesn't for next time around...everybody's technique & growing areas are different, plus your environmental shit...fix it!  LOL 
 
EDIT::  Go ahead & flip....& the silica will only help!
