My girlfriend surprised me with a clone she got from work just as a joke so I jump to the occasion to not let go to waste. I'm using all organic nutrients / fertilizer. For soil I got black gold from osh. I have organicare flower and bloom plant food and for veg, roots organic hpk bat guano, Peruvian seabird guano, superthrive, non sulfured molasses and just got some dr earth organic bud and bloom booster. I'm personally impressed for my first grow. You can't tell but I have a row of 6 cfl down the middle. A big cfl on the left and one to the right so I'm running 8 all together. Not sure on the exact wattage, I have been defoliating as well as using some low stress training as you can see, I just cut most of the strings before I took pics My box is light proof and completely sealed using liquid nail. I jumped the gun without researching about the white paint and used semi gloss instead of flat white The only problems I'm having is maintaining a constant humidity. I need a controller for my humidifier to plug into. When I come home from work my rh will be way too high. I live in the desert so it's very dry here. I also need help please. I wired 3 fans to some dc wall plug ins but they run slow and ventilation is being reduced so my heat is around 84 the highest on hot days. Where I live I have hot days and cold nights so I have the lights on at night so they don't freeze but during the day it can be too hot for them, if the fans ran like they should I should have no problem. Is it a voltage problem? Please help. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Nice grow! Could be a voltage issue. I need more detail as to what you've done as far as the wiring goes. Are you using small computer fans?
I'd definitely check the voltage on the plugs you used...if they're just cell phone chargers, they're likely underpowered, even for PC fans. When I wired up my PC fans in my veg cab, I saw they needed like 12V but all my spare cell phone chargers were 9V or less. I ended up scavenging one from an external hard drive that was 12V. Also, PC fans pull crazy low amps (at least mine do, 0.08 each), so you can probably wire them all into one plug (mine is rated for 3A). That's how I have my four fans, all running off one plug. If you can get results like that with temp/humidity/ventilation issues, just think of what you will pull once you get it sorted . Edit: If you're not using PC fans, voltage may still be an issue. In my bloom room I have an oil filled radiator style space heater, my exhaust fan, and a regular 10" table fan plugged into one extension cord. When the heater kicks on, the 10" fan loses a little speed. Not much, but enough to hear a difference in motor noise. Since the affected fan is just a circulation fan, the heater only runs for a few hours a day, and my temps are staying where I want them, I'm not too worried about it, but putting in a separate, dedicated extension cord for the heater is on my list of things to do in the near future.
Thank you! Yes I am Alright that makes more sense. I will check the vintage because I just got the plugs from some baby monitors. Have 2 intake wired to one and the outtake wired to another and it's still slow. Will look at plugs when lights turn on. Thanks for the reply! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Sorry guys. Apple decided to take off the whole cultivation section so I haven't got a chance to up date. Here she looking as good as can be. Colas gettin so heavy had spider man help me out haha
Thanks brutha and honestly I couldn't tell you my bad man. I have just been winging it for a lot of this grow. Adding more lights here and there. Knowing that cfl lights don't penetrate well at all I think my all white box helps out from what the cfls lack. Halfway through flower I had to move houses and while doing that she fell on her side and damaged a bunch of main branches, so had to do some major tying.
shit man I had a branch snap nearly clean off, just hangin on by a thread in early flower. duct tabped it up toghether and it is now the biggest and fatest bud of the lot
word. here my grow chek it man, this is my 6th year now of attempting to grow cannabis. ive fucked up every single year and only ever harvested leaves and male flowers. im finally doin it got two ladays http://forum.grasscity.com/micro-grows/1361685-6th-times-charm-192w-cfl-stealth.html
