Grow-Room-Round-Up​

my grow room is set up, and as you can see meanwhile I am the boss controlling temp and humidity
humidity is very easy to control, the hungup towel is directly in the blow of the the fan
it doesn't touch the wall and is grounding into the grey tray
now I can water the system from the top
or fill in at the tray for capilaric soaking up into the towel or easy hang it out and drown it with water in the grey tray ... very effective I can bring up RH 50 to RH 85 in 30 mins if necessary, low cost KISS

have installed a energy meter as well that calculates my e-bill by consumption in €

so far that seems a good setup by now, I can control light, temp, humidity and keep thee stable
let*s improve that and make notes what workz best for what ... learning by doing

now that I have a nice yield from the golden girls to keep me going these two are really stess free growing, I mean I don't care for their yield, they are just experience-dummy meanwhile

's up next? ... news from the golden girls ... Blanche and Rose are doing reaaaallllyyyy nice
stay tuned

 

those of you following the whole journal know that it is mainly about lucy and lilliy in the little growroom and that this is my 2nd grow only
but I always post updates on the 1st grow as well

so what about the GOLDEN GIRLS ???​

Sophia, Dorothy, Rose and Blanche ... here the last pic of thee all 4 together andalive



weather was so for 6 critical weeks, it turned right at the end of first flowering week to a 5-6 weeks constant rain and high humidity that I was not able to get down fast enough. result budrot starting on sophia, rose and dorothy.
sophia and dorothy where effected most rose just a little and blanhe beeing like 1.5-2 weeks behind the other 3 wasn't effected at all
so I had to cut of nice buds and cleared the 3 effected rather generous from the rotten buds

one day later on DAY 67


that procedure was maybe a little too much, maybe I should have defoliated a little less and left some bigger fan leafs to thee 3, cause in the end only rose survived the procedure. dorothy and sophia continued slowly with some more rot I had to cut of, and then didn't recover so I had to chop the both R.I.P.
Selassie Ey ... there was enough trichomes that the yield turns well

I read a lot about drying and curying, git help from you and the fam over in papa puffs thread but still made mistakes.

7/7/7 brass said, and I had 77 temp 70 RH and 4 days only as I dryed them in the growing room where 24 hrs ventilation for shure was not best idea
so after 4 days they where crisp outside and well dry inside not beeing the biggest buds
then they went into glasses and I cure them now
took me 4 days to get temp in the curebox down but that is solved now

resume at half the way on grow N°1, I learned a lot
have now a setup for drying in a tin barrel where I can control conditions, a working curebox
and there is blanche and rose out on the balcony so I can improve on these two when it comes to harvest dry and cure

ok Blanche and Rose on DAY 79
left Rose / right Blanche

 

question for my indoor grow

this video, 5 mins shows a complete indoor cycle of automatics
and of cause in a perfect way with best circumstances I bet, it is by royal queen seeds video LOL

let's forget about the light height sizes and nutes shit in the video and concentrate on temps and humidity ... besides that the week is a bit of a more elastic value ... but as a rough rule to go along with, what do you think about the temps and humidity in the video according to the stages like seedling, vegi, preflower, flowering, late flower in general
they seem quity low to me

LUCY & LILLY ... LST, FLOWERING​

VEG 32 for both of them, but already FLOWER DAY 2 for the Critical Fast Bud aka LILLY

last TUE (VEG 25) I started the LST and bend the main stem nearly 90° down and sorted the branches out on both of them. the I added on SAT morning the 2 LED bulbs, extra 150W I thought
they are 6700K so really white or shall I say blue .. 36 hrs later on sunday night LILLY clearly showed flowering, not only some single pistils ... so that was just in time to a little late starting LST, next time mid end of week 3 ... noted, but it was in time
I have sorted out the branches, the fat crinkle has healed and is really strong, the branches can now go apical.

 

thx to @Dr M's advice I managed to bring the two old gorls from the balcony inside
weather is so bad that I was afraid to loose hearvest again like on the other two of the golden girls

 

thx doc, already lowering the humidity to 60/65 that a good value?
temp was high last days and if I learned well b the VPD chart, for temps in the hig 70s 70/75 RH is ok for veg and as I am lower now and have end flowering girls as well I will lower it as VPD chart says 60/65

 

re: "stoma opening and closing at certain dew points"

that is the little bits and peaces that I like a lot on yoz, some kees to kift me to next step gathering infos and trying to understand what's going on and learn to read the babes, compare them with measured values and adjust light temp RH watering nutes to optimize

so far I am happy with the pooper cab as growroom
bit tricky tetris now when watering LOL
but I have a hanger to lift thee light to max, roll out the 2 big ones a bit water in teenies and roll the big ones and and let the lights down, workz

will kepp an eay on humidity and read about the stome dew points, thx doc

 

thats better I guess

 

the pooper-cab is working along and shes like it, especially the 2 golden girls love beeing inside with less humidity

36 hrs after I brought blanche and rose inside trichomes start to amber
now without experience I need help please, shall I and if when flush?
I gave nutes today and think it will have been last time, from now on water only right?

 

comes time the 2 goldengirls are cut down and harvested the whole lights are then for the two teenies, lucy & lilly

as I have only 1x SF 1000 + the 4 extra bulbs the light will not be spread equally
the two teenies are then sitting on trolleys and can be moved within seconds
would it make sense to move them and change daily the postion in a given cycle as shown in the graphics (and there is many more options than these 4), or do shes no like to be moved and turned?

 

all very true, so I will do
TY doc
