First time grow in my storage room that isn't insulated. Concerns are temperature and humidity. I added insulation to the roller door and grow tent. Reflectix on the door has added around 10°f. Reflectix around the tent has helped hold the temperature steady at 75°f. Also added a envi heater that only pulls 450 watts that hangs on the wall behind the tent. Today the outside temp low was 30°f So my winter temp concerns have been handled. Humidity though is too low between 35 and 42%. Buying an inkbird humidifier that arrives Monday. The Grow Put seed in water for 16 hours Then seed in paper towel inside ziplock bag and put on top of my router for warmth. 1 inch Taproot formed after about 31 hours and then planted in 5 gallon fabric pot and used plastic cake top as humidity dome. Light at 26 inches and dimmer at 50% Starting at 24 hours light because I want keep tent warm during these freezing temps. Hope to go to 20-4 on Monday. Merry Christmas

We have reached day 28 and she is progressing well. On day 24 I noticed a split in the main stem where I supercropped her.About a half inch split,so I tapped her up and gave her some more Lst. Much happier with how her shape looks now. Really opened up the bud sites. Also showed her sex this week and we have pistils growing each day. Also increased the light to 100%,went up 1 notch each day,and she responded well each time so I kept increasing it. Other invironment changes were decreased humidity a little and reduced light cycle to 18/6. Temps here increased this week and I struggled to keep the temp in the range I wanted. Day 22 1-15 light 80% Tent 78 humidity set at 62%-54% Light defol Removed most Lst Day 23 1-16 increased light Intensity to 85% Tent 78 humidity set at 62%-54% Watered 1.5 liters Light defol White pistils appeared Day 24 1-17 increased light Intensity to 90% Tent 78 humidity set at 62%-54% Noticed split in stem,put tape on it Resumed Lst Day 25 1-18 increased light Intensity to 100% Tent 78 humidity set at 62%-54% Light defol,4 leaves Lst adjustments Day 26 1-19 light 100% Tent 78 humidity set at 62%-54% Watered 1.5 liters Day 27 1-20 light 100% Changed light back to 18/6 because of high temps Tent 78 humidity set at 62%-54% Defol some bottom fan leaves not getting light Day 28 1-21 light 100% Tent 78 humidity set at 62%-54% Happy growing everyone

This week she showed no real interest in stretching. Instead she wants to grow buds. Would of liked another 6 inches of stretch,so now I'm focusing this next week on bud growth. She is a very short little girl. Hopefully she can develop a huge ass. Added some molasses to her water this week and will start some compost tea on Sunday and every 2nd to third watering. Had my biggest defoliation a few days ago and will probably just pick the odd leaf until harvest. Brought humidity down a touch. Day 36 1-29 light 100% Tent 76 humidity set at 56%-50% Day 37 1-30 light 100% Tent 76 humidity set at 56%-50% Watered 1 Liter with molasses Lst Day 38 1-31 light 100% Tent 76 humidity set at 50%-44% Watered 2 Liters Day 39 2-1 light 100% Tent 76 humidity set at 50%-44% Adjusted Lst Heaviest defol so far Day 40 2-2 light 100% Tent 76 humidity set at 50%-40% Light defol Watered 2 liters with molasses Day 41 2-3 light 100% Tent 76 humidity set at 50%-40% Removed Lst Day 42 2-4 light 100% Tent 76 humidity set at 50%-40% Watered 2 Liters

End of week 8 and the rust spots stayed pretty much the same. this winter freeze and ice storm made things challenging Trichomes are showing harvest should be next week. so a pretty quick grow i've started a couple of og kush in the tent that will be happy with the new space and proper veg temp and humidity. won't be a big harvest but should get me through until the next batch is done. Day 50 2-12 Tent 75 humidity set at 45% - 35% Watered 2 Liters Day 51 2-13 Tent 75 humidity set at 45% - 35% Watered 2 Liters with molasses Day 52 2-14 Tent 73 humidity set at 45% - 35% Day 53 2-15 Tent 73 humidity set at 45% - 35% tent got down to 57f for a few hours during lights out Watered 2 Liters gfp with molasses Day 54 2-16 Tent 73 humidity set at 45% - 35% Day 55 2-17 Tent 73 humidity set at 45% - 35% got as low as 53f during lights out, this freezing weather has been tough in the storage room. Watered 2 Liters Day 56 2-18 Tent 70 humidity set at 45% - 35%

end of week 9 and the girl has been chopped. went away last week for 3 days and then went 48 hours darkness when i got back. temps rose too high for me to risk it in the storage room. currently in paper bags drying only problem during grow was rust spots appearing due to using natures living soil and the bottom 1/3 layering. seems to happen to alot of growers using this method at around day 45. Started another grow with nls and this time i have mixed it with soil. they are day 21 and just transplanted so i will see if the problem returns. be back next week with final numbers

@closetGrow, short story molasses is carbs, which is food for the microbes, and the microbes help with uptake and more, this is my opinion :)
