**Week of Wendesday 3/31/2021 - Tuesday 4/6/2021**
To start, I would like to say that the CalMag has turned the issues around I was seeing last week. I am seeing more vigorous plant growth as a result.
Most of this week I've been playing around with trying to keep the temperature and humidity in check going into flowering. I started buy purchasing a humidistat controller and a very cheap peletier dehumidifer. It was pretty much like pissing in the wind, and I had to bust the unit open and hardwire it to get it to automatically turn on when power was applied. I ended up sending that junk back and purchased a 20 pint dehumidifer. I first put it in the tent, but overnight it brought my temps to over 80 in the tent. I pulled it out and put it in the adjacent room. I think I have a pretty decent system now for keeping the humidity down. I know I can for sure average 50% average humidity no problem. I have been keeping it under 50% pretty steadily this week though. I don't want to get to crazy while it's still stretching but it should be starting to bud here soon.
Lastly, I'd like to say shit is getting freaking busy up in that ScrOG. There is just so much going on it's hard to place a growth in a good direction it's so crowded. In a way that is a good thing with so many potential bud sites, but I am worrying about it getting too crowded and amplify bud rot issues. I am still getting moisture between a few leaves here and there. Otherwise I think this week has been an improvement, and I'm very excited to see where I'm going to end up after the third week of stretching!
Is this root rot? I have fixed my temps in the last 4 days. I am already using H&G Roots Excelurator. Is Hydroguard better or should I use both? I also tried fixing light leaks. Any other suggestions?
You should be using both. As the last person said root accelerate nutrient helping grow roots faster, while hydrogaurd is a beneficial bacteria that will keep your roots healthy during harsher environment. Things like slightly higher res temps.
@PigBearMan, I'm sorry to hear that man. Most of my family is from the southern states so I understand exactly what your saying. Luckily I'm in a fairly temperate area, although the winters can be harsh. However, I'm growing indoors so it's much easier to deal with than high humidity and temps.
@Bertoxxulous, where i live the temperatures and the RH are pretty shitty. Summer, 28°C and 65% RH. Good for veg but not for flowering and smoking. It's like a fucking sponge. Like wet camp fire. I putting my 7 weeks old weed still in the microwave for 15 sec. Ridicolous. Will not grow next summer for sure.
@Bertoxxulous, yeah I am the same I couldn’t take to vaping and I bought the mighty vaporiser (just not the same) so I smoke blunts much nicer! Well the terpene most at this stage I thought limonene and that’s where the real lime/citrus taste. But also a spicy background which could be the caryophyllene. I am curing for a few weeks and I just know this will get better!
@TheGreenQueen420, Thank you so much! I cannot freaking wait! I saw your harvest pics, and you did an excellent job!!! All I have right now is shitty vape pen cartridges and I'm almost out of those too. I will never buy a vape pen cartridge ever again after this. I thought it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but boy was I wrong. Maybe others feel differently, but I do not like them. Are there any distinct terpene you are picking up?
