i started this grow on the 17th of august 2016, they are blackberry from nirvana. i germinated them in a propagator pro which i wouldn't recommend as i only ended up with 3/5. they stayed in the hot water cupboard for about a week and a half
they then went into my tent which is 1200mm x 1200mm and 2000mm high, i used a mix of coco perlite and budget bag soil under a cheap 300w led and a few 24w cool day light cfls which compared to my last grow worked a lot better than my 400w hps for veg. they stayed very short and thick. i made the mistake of not using my extractor fan because i was scared the neighbours would hear, it was getting to 97% humidity and i ended up with some weird spots on the leafs. this photo was from the 7th of october![20161007_204635.jpg](/data/attachments/2924/2924412-76d9750db5774d94c9a202516e67651d.jpg)
once i started using the fan the spots stopped appearing. this photos from the 29th of october about 2 weeks into budding.
after that i decided i didn't want to risk a small yield from the led so i brought a new 400w hps. it has put the temps up quite a lot, it's getting up to 31 degrees celsius when light first comes on at 5pm but cooling to around 27 through the night. i know that's a bit hot so i read that adding co2 can help with that. i added the co2 last night, it's just sugar water and yeast, not sure if it'll do anything but worth a try. i'm still using the led and the cfls so if it gets any hotter i guess i'll just take them out. these are the plants today on the 7th of november.
i think its taking a little longer than it should, maybe i'm not using enough ferts. i only used yates thrive all purpose for the veg and some flower tabs from nirvana for the budding, but apart from that i think there pretty healthy. any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated as i really don't know a hell of a lot
