GERMINATION DATE 6/29/18 I WANT TO THANK KATRINA FROM FAST BUDS FOR SENDING ME THESE SEEDS I WILL LOVE GROWING THESE UNDER CMH
*18/6 LIGHT SCHEDULE,TEMPS HIGH UNTIL 1ST TRUE LEAVES THEN DOWN TO 70 TO 73 DEGREES
*40 INCHES HEIGHT UNTIL 1ST TRUE LEAVES THEN WILL LOWER IT TO 36 INCHES
*315 4200K CMH FOR VEG THEN ADDING A 315W 3000K TO THAT FOR 630 WATTS FOR FLOWERING
* USING HAPPY FROG SOIL BY FOX FARMS FOR 1ST TIME MIXED WITH 20% PERLITE...USING GENERAL ORGANICS TO GO BOX FOR NUTRIENTS...GOING TO E GOOD QUALITY MEDICENE
I am doing weekly video updates of this grow on youtube on the name GET BRAIN SEEDS and could use the views and subscribers
day 13 and these green crack have no issues at all even with me having trouble getting my temps down in my grow area, day temps been 84 to 86 night temps are fine at 70 degrees, the 3rd true leaves are started
starting in a week will add the other 315 3100k bulb to my cmh light just need to address the temperature issue
since the happy frog soil is not pack with tons of nutes like ocean forest I will start a 1/4th strength feeding on sunday
day 21 everything going nicely
added the 2nd 315 bulb for total of 630 watts of cmh light
gave them their first nutes on day 17 no nute burn
got the main stem Lst down now working on the canopy earlier then I usually do
still having daytime temps of 85 to 88 even with air conditioner but so far the leafs have not canoed and it's doing well
how can I get my temps down if I am using 630 cmh light? I have my air condition and my exhaust fan going still temps up to 85 to 88 degrees at daytime...night time temps are fine once the light goes off???
85 -88f is fine as long as humidity matches - if you haven't already downloaded a VPD chart I'd recommend you do so as it might provide some reassurance or give you an indication of ideal growing conditions.
At the moment there isn't much you can do. I would upgrade the air system to get more flow and give them additional water to keep the roots cooled. And try to run the light during night time when temps are low. If possible, get air from outside to cool down your tent.
I agree with MMJMD, flip your light schedule. If your already using AC and running your exhaust fan at full speed, there’s not much more you can do. Air intake from outside would help but only if temps outside are cooler than inside- which can be tricky during the summer months. Some lights are just not well suited to certain spaces because of temperature concerns. If this remains a consistent problem, I would consider LED lighting as it produces considerably less heat while still offering excellent light coverage/penetration. Just a thought, good luck and all the best growing forward!
day 35 week 5---- I do a weekly video of my grow on youtube on the name get brain seeds
preflowering will switch to flower nutes next week want to give one more week of veg nutes while it still in it's stretch
got it tied down lst and leaf tucking daily has a weak smell coming from them already
one has become the biggest in my garden the other has purple stems and smaller no nutrient deficiencies growing great maybe 2 different pheno of the same strain which makes me happy
day 41 week 6 this was a bad week my plants all got major light burn due to the light company telling me to lower my plants at wrong height
half of my leaves got completely burnt overnight so I had to defolate like half the leaves on my plant
the green crack plants seemed to suffer the worse from this light burn which sucked they was getting huge
I lifted my lights up and took all the bad leaves off so im sure I saved the plants but will affect yield majorly due to the light company lying to me😓
week 7 day 50
*due to my light manufacturer telling me the wrong light height all my plants suffered heavy light burn had to defoliate 100s of leaves and that's no exaggeration...so just hoping they recover and I get something out of this grow...this was my fault not the seed companys
*feeding it normal bloom nutes and flushed it last week
*right now I don't have them in a tent because I sold my 5x5 set up and am waiting on a new 4x8 tent to be shipped so I can have more room for my next grow i'm excited about that
* I will make a video of my grows on youtube my name is get brain seeds😀
well after major light burn last week due to light company telling me wrong hanging heights one of my green crack plants recovered the other one isn't recovering it lost too many leaves(it was the plant getting more light then the others so it was expected)….look at the pics of plant 1 and plant 2 shows how bad light urn can be if you don't fix hanging heights,the plant that Is recovering is the biggest plant in my garden of all my strains so maybe i'll make up for it in yield,the plant that recovered shows this is a strong strain😉
week 9 one green crack plant is bouncing back fine from the light burn and densing up the other one was hit the hardest from light burn due to it being closest to the light of all plants slowly recovering, this was the light companys fault due to telling me wrong hanging height, the one that is recovered and putting up long buds densing up by the day so the seed company is good😀
buds is well balanced high,tastes like fruit great taste lasts about 3 hours long... I like this seems like it would be good for combatting anxiety 😃 great high all around
well due to light burn one of the 2 green crack plants died ...the plant that did survive the light burn was the biggest out of all strains at 77 grams plus I took off 10 grams to try before harvest as a tester lol...the light burn was the light company's fault not the seed companies these plants grow easy about medium size in height and the buns that grow on this strain looks like big bananas by the time harvest comes long sativa type buds and the fruit taste is amazing smells same as it tastes....I will try this strain again in the future due to it's anti-anxiety qualities and it's super poten too fast buds did good on this strain 😀
You might be pulling too much air out pulling your cold air out. Ac works best when it constantly circulates the same air. The cooler the air is when your ac pulls it in then the colder it will come out. What type of ac are you running?
@CRiSPrGrow,the crazy thig is when I put my hand like 1 to 1 and a half feet away from thel ight it's cool inside maybe I got a faulty temperature gauge it does not feel as hot as the gauge says inside my tent feels maybe 75 tops lol
@@mrmateo, yeah sounds familiar looool i got the temperature under control buy buying a (very f-ing expensive) fan with temp control on it 1330m3/h so yeah it did work and now i can put my hand fully on the cool tube with the light on no problem.
@CRiSPrGrow,lol I used a 600w hps my last grow with cool tube but no a/c the tent got so hot that the plants produced less then a cheap 300 watt led I got from ebay,temps is the hardest thing to keep in check my a/c is so cold it literally is freezing in the room my tent is in and still these high temps... I got extra ducting so looks like i'll figure a way to rig the ducting straight to my window a/c ha
@Cannibalgardens,yes new light they are cmh I always used hps or led, im glad it happened now I can know for the next grow, like you said learned a lesson lol, I am upgrading to a bigger tent next grow too ut the company told me in flower to lower cmh to 18 inches come to find out its supposed to be 24 inches to 30 inches so I will keep them at 30 inches height now until they bounce back from the stress
@@mrmateo you should try having the lights running at night and off during the day see my answer to the grow question you posted for more details Happy growing
@DILLIGAF,yea that's what I do but that didn't help much lol, I finally got ducting and ran it from my window a/c to solve the problem got my temps down now
😀
Them temps are on high range but if the humidity is on a 1 to 1 it be ok as long as you also have a high humidity with them temps , I have been dealing with same problem what temp being up there but as long as I had the humidity up my super lemon haze thrive and champed it all the way through the hot streak we had
@Tok01,i went and got some ducting ran it from my window a/c to my tent now daytime temps are 82 to 84 degrees nighttime is 71 ,worked better then I thought
You can have the lights come on at night so it’s cooler when the lights on and it’s hot outside when they are off during the day so it’s cooler all around 👍🌱 happy growing good luck fam 🍀 still my problem my use this trick myself
@DILLIGAF,yea I have exhaust going out and a inline fan bringing cold air in,looks like I will have to just find a way to rig the cold air from my a/c straight to the tent...just don't know how I can get ducting to work on a window a/c unit, I also got a fan at the lights ...2 inline fans and 1 normal fan total on top of being in my air conditioned computer room lol
