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
Happy New Year 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.

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,
https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-molasses-an-excellent-supplement-for-cannabis-plants-n1148
they can explain it better than i can.
i'm going to do a compost tea with molasses.
did just molasses yesterday and later in the week will do the tea.
@indigold,thanks mate, going to be interesting how this just add water grow looks in the next month.I am finding that growing it is more addictive than smoking it.😆
Keep up the good work growmie 👍 I look forward to seeing updates on this grow! If you ever have any questions feel free to ask. There are so many talented growers on this platform with insane amounts of knowledge. You will be happy you joined! Merry Christmas!
@FreshCoastOrganics,thanks mate
i've been lurking the last 3 weeks when i decided to give this a go and learn more each day.
pretty much spent all my spare time on here,wife thinks i'm obsessed
and she is probably right
