Next week i will switch the bulbs to hps. Love dawg is 2 weeks from seed. Clones are looking good and more roots are strating to pop. Hopefully transplant into soil happens soon. Didnt have time but looks like going to be a rough summer with heat. Even with a 5000 btu in each room temps are still getting hot. Installed a 440 cfm in the rooms by each filter. Ventilation and ac 24in phresh carbon filters/ per room 440 cfm fan / per room 740 cfm fan exhausting both rooms 5000 btu ac / per room 12000btu ac cooling whole grow. 740 cfm runs 24/7 440 cfm runs with lights 5000 btu ac are set to come on at 85 and turn off at 78 12000 btu is set to 85. With all this if my rooms dont stay cool idk what il do next... Led i guess.
Gave everyone tea and foliar spray. Kelp, neem, alfalfa, ful power, pro tek, aloe, coconut. Set up sticky traps and gave a aprinkling of mosquito bits. Day 20 flower dank commander Switch lights to hps. No more foliar sprays after this point. Love dawg is doing good. Topped the taller ones and trimmed everyone. Clones went into soil today. Were left with 4 plants as possible mothers. Who ever starts growing the fastest we will keep and kill the rest. Sprinkled vam on roots and places into soil.
Love dawgs. They are starting to take off now. Had to throw some sticky traps down, seeing gnats here now. All clones are looking good. But 3 of them will have to get chopped down. This is now day 24 of flower for dank commander. Iv never seen whole sugar leaves this early before. They are covered in crystals.
Very nice looking ladies. I agree with making a log, theres a few grows I wish I did record but helps keep track for sure. Your AC unit, is that pulling air from the outside into your garden?
I believe it pulls are from inside the room. Im not 100% but it wouldnt make sense that it pulls air from the back of it b3cuz thats where it puts out all the heat
Day 27 of flower Dank commander The smell is here, and the catpiss og is coming through. Smells like moldy/skunky little sweet with some catpiss. Mbp top dress and water. Week 3 of veg Love dawg Top dress mbp and water Gave them all a trimming and topped a couple Week 1 veg Dank commander clones Top dress mbp and water Added cover crop seeds
Looking good! I'm glad I found you again, don't close your journal this time haha. Does you ac unit have a hot air exhaust? I can imagine the units themselves put out a decent amount of heat. If your rooms are still hot you may want to look into a mini split ac system.
Well the back of the acs are in a seperate room where there are open windows. So im not to sure if the heat is going back into the room it could be... Acs are set to turn on at 85 and turn off at 78. So they do cycle and it takes about 10 mins from each point. Im the grow rooms are 5000 btu units and i have a 12000 btu unit in the lung room but with all 3 running it pops the circuit. Talked to my electriction and we would have to run another circut he said becuz the wire we used isnt meant for that much. So im swaping out the 12000 for a 8000 btu. Hopfully this one doesnt make the breaker pop too. The 5000 btu units are 450watts and 4 amps The 12000 btu unit is 1350 watts and 12 amps Which is 2250 watts and 20 amps... Thats alot haha Switch the 12000 for an 8000 is 900 watts and 8 amps giviving me a new total of 1800 watts and 16 amps
Plants look great, whats your head height? And how tall are your ladies in a 20 gallon bucket? Also I seen you are having some heat issues maybe I can lend some ideas towards that. My first thought would be have you consider doing Co2? You be able to keep your air temps at 90F, and your plants would reward you for this, saving you money and greater yields in the long run. What kind of AC unit are you using?
My grow room isnt sealed so co2 is out of the question. I finnaly got it all squared away... I think. I have a 5000 btu unit in each room and then a 8000 btu unit in the lung room 5000s are window units 8000 is a portable 5000 btu units are set to come on at 85 and turn off at 78 8000 btu unit is aet to just come on at 80.
Dank commander Day 35 flower. We deiced to not do mother plants. So i had to take new clones from my clones i just took. These will be the next set. And aways these are the ones that rooted the fastest. Now out of these 8 we selcet the 6 that root the fastest. Didnt get pic of love dawg. Its just starting to take off.
Dank commander clones up for next cycle. They all are looking good. They all almost look the same. This will be the first real run. Love dawg is fucking loving the blumat system. It seriously has exploded with growth. They will be flipped to flower this weekend. Dank commander day 58 of flower. I plan on chopping them next weekend. Most of the leaves have died off, hairs are starting to turn orange, its looking ready. This is my very first harvest out of the grow!
