12/17 - New Light came in :) Phlizon 900W from Amazon. My previous light from Mars Hydro (400W ~ 197 "true" watts) had more than half the leds burn out, so figured it was time to upgrade haha I will be reaching out to their customer support to see if they can help me out somehow. Not expecting much really. Also picked up snazzy new glasses. My eyes no longer feel like burning after working in the tent!
12/19 - Smoked a fatty with a good buddy of mine, and brainstormed how to lower the res temps. Came up with this (see pics) Basically I'm drawing in filtered, cold winter air via an A/C window exhaust duct and pointing it directly onto my air pump, which is designed to draw ambient air in through it's base. Within a couple hours, temps went from 76 to 69 :DDD Thank you Jizzy Swizzle (rap moniker lol) & Old Man Winter!
12/23 - Main-Lining Time!! Followed Nugbuckets guide (Thank you Nugbuckets!) In retrospect, I should've let my mains grow out a day or 2 more before tying down. Also, in comparison to my last grow with EV, she didn't rebound as quickly.
@HighTV, you said it, Bud! Such is Life. And by the looks of it, I'm hoping that's the case. Initial thoughts were, "Damn. This is waay too much stress early on. Hoping it doesn't go herm on me.." Guess we'll have to wait and see ๐
@bobtheblob, She stretched a hell of a lot more in flower than I was expecting. Thank you! I'm a proud parent to say the least ๐ She smells very sweet now!
Thanks for the link! I wonder if I had similar bacterial stuff or just screwed the solution/conditions when I had roots dying and turning brown.
Cool little weights you have btw! :-)
@bobtheblob, You're welcome! It's pretty common in DWC environments, and from what I've read, it has to do with light leaks, res temps being too high (+72F), and insufficient Dissolved Oxygen. Call me crazy, but I've also wondered about my nutes being contaminated, and poor water source.
Thanks! They're called Calibration Weights, for my digital scale, and I picked em up from Amazon as a lightning deal :)
