End of week 4 and things are still moving along despite a few hiccups. Ended up over feeding them at the end of last week and this week we have dropped there ppm down to the 450 ppm mark untill they come around. Didn’t really do to much damage except burn my leaves a bit and maybe slowed there growth a bit this week. Got a laser temperature gun for another project and I’m now able to check my canopy temperature too and it’s great. Canopy sits around 24-25 in the center of the screen and between 21-23 on the rest. Got around 65 D.L.I on the canopy's tallest area in the Center of the screen directly under the light when it passes over. The 1000w HPS is on the rail mover so it’s keeping things from burning and getting too intense. I recently added 2 x 1000x(180w actual) LED “Blurple” lights I had kicking around not been used so I through them in the tent to add some different light spectrums that the HPS doesn’t have. Just a little added extra kick for them, why not rite?...lol been struggling to keep humidity up across all my tents really, got the bare minimum everywhere and only one 1gal humidifier to run in the big room. Temperatures were cold the last week outside in the -20c range so my basement was a bit cold despite the one baseboard heater, which makes things even drier! Lol There has been no need to use either of my air conditioners in my tents for a month or so now even with the 2 x 1000w HPS lights in tents running side x side in the same room. Which is good cause they also drastically drop my humidity, the lights and the air conditioners...ugh. Lol well that’s if so far for now, Cheers 💨
sorry russ , advised in defol and stuff , never realised exp level. lol.
I still get caught in the dilemma of defol or not and how much to do if I do choose to defol. seen great examples both options but always worried about over stressing with an auto. Normally I do photoperiod but giving the autos a good run in winter to try and find a way that works for them too.
@Ganjagrandaddy, np man! I’m just experimenting with my new tent setups and seeing what works best. Got 5 grows down now in each tent and it’s getting better each time. Lol I used to be one of those guys who frowned on any defoliation. Lol Now I’m just trying out new techniques and seeing what happens. With my setups I do 4 plants in RDWC in a 4x8 tent with a 1000watt HPS on a rail mover, so autos are not really an option for me if I want to fill the screens. Lol I’ve dappled with a few autos in my day but prefer photo just cause I can have lower plant counts and manipulate them to what I want. Lol still always learning something new with each grow though and always appreciate any advice anyone might have. Cheers 💨
