First Grow: ‘Ophelia’ Orange Bud (Auto)

@happykat, thank you! Yes, I’m pleased with the set up, but I draw the line at buying an air conditioner for the greenhouse 🤣 I’m out there several times a day, but it’s hardly a chore really, I love it. So once in the morning to open the curtains and the side vents, then once during the day to check on them and finally again in the evenings to put them under the lamps and draw the curtains. That’s when I take a big watering can and wet the floor, so only once a day. It’s just been bad the last couple of days as it’s been so hot. That’s why I started autos in autumn to be fair. I knew summer would be too much work with the heat.

@greenhousegrowgirl, Such a cool setup! I see what you mean about the difficulty in controlling the heat, though. How often do you find yourself in the greenhouse trying to cool it down, create humidity, etc.? Luckily, you said it was cooling down in general, so hopefully, you're not out there too often trying to turn on the cooler/heater combo unit.

@happykat- pics are up under week 2 now and I have updated the commentary 😎

@greenhousegrowgirl, Do you think you'll have to run the humidifier as much as the seasons change and cool off a bit? Going well! I hope that I'm addressing a potential nutrient deficiency and possible pest problems, but apart from that, everything else is good.😄

@happykat, yep all good mate. Applied the exit hose to the back of the dehumidifier and now I don’t need to empty the tank 😀 Working so far and humidity is stable again. How’s your grow going?

@greenhousegrowgirl, I've also read that cutting off half a leaf (across the vein) is another way to defoliate without causing so much stress. Might be worth a shot!

@happykat, well I started by taking off big leaves that were covering the little nodes and preventing light. Then I read it can be detrimental as it stresses the plant! They seem ok, but I’ve waited for her to get a lot more leaves til I did it again 🙈 I try and tuck the leaves underneath now instead.

@Ganjafarmer420flowers, thank you - me too!!! 😀

@KingSalomonsWeed, you're the best, thank you!

@Godesskat, thank you! Always helps when people say that as it’s my first time and I don’t know what to expect or what ‘good’ looks like 😫😘

@Cannabeast40, thank you!!! 😀
