Ok, so after the 2 days, just mist the plant down? And turn the fans back on?

Should I leave fans off for 2 days?

I’ll take pics of how I have my fan set up to extract the air and how it pulls fresh air in when I get home

Hey guys, I have a beautiful gelato 41 plant that I’m going to be making a mother plant of. I want to do some at home Pheno hunting. I have a male growing in my back patio to collect pollen from. I was wondering what are the steps to seed only a section of my plant and not pollenate the whole...

So in my tent, I have my top most vent open. I have a 9 inch fan I got from Walmart and I used a bungee chord to hold it into place. It stands pretty tall so I don’t worry about light getting in. I also have screen vents at the bottom of my tent and I have one open. It’s up against the wall so I...

Yeah. When the lights are off

This was my last one that yielded 94g. I should have kept her in a week or 2 longer

What are your temps running at night? It’s natural, depending on barometric pressure and other factors to have a “dew point”. You plant is probably releasing some of its moisture and pulling it back in when lights come on. Plants do it lol it’s natural. Open one of your tent ports and put a fan...

Makes sense. Idk my par output, I just know for my 600w HPS 12-18 inches gives me dense growth with no light burn

Yikes. That’s so little. I like my lights bright lol. Mine right now pushes about 90k-100k lumens

How many lumens does the average $100 amazon light push?

Agreed. My grow is purely for personal too. The 94g I yielded I smoked lol some friends would come pick up a 20 or sometimes an 8th, but I was very stingy with it. I’m almost out already and I harvested 2 months ago. Hopefully if I get a pound I’ll be able to carry some over until my next harvest

My harvest I stated below covered the cost of my whole setup. 4x4 tent, fans, humidifier and a light upgrade. As far as electric cost, I saw practically no difference in my monthly electric bill cost with that light running.

I’m not knocking LED, again, they work. I’m not saying they don’t produce quality buds. But price wise, if you can run an HPS, your monthly PGE bill (for west coast) will be a bit higher. My last grow I did with a 150w HPS and burned the plant up in the first 3 weeks of flower.. still yielded me...

Thank you lol. It may cost what $10 more than an LED to run per month? But you get way bigger yields off an HPS than an LED hands down. Bulbs may be ancient technology... but it works time and time again. Not gonna lie, I’ll probably try out LED lights eventually.

I’m also talking about cost wise. I spent around $150 after tax and shipping for my light. In 50 days my plant looks like this, In a 4x4 tent. You can spend $100 on a light and then you’ll need to buy more lights to fill your space if you decide to upgrade. If you can show me a 100w LED that can...

I know you can. But I’m being realistic. You can get quality buds off an LED. But to get a QUALITY light is going to cost you more than $100. Yeah you can get cheap china products that say “100/200w power draw” but when you actually test, turns out they’re a lot less than what is stated. Yeah go...

Realistically, do a side by side comparison. Led may be cheaper to run, but density, mass and everything from an HID will be better. Commercial growers still use HPS to this day.

Think about the math. The least watts per square foot you want in your garden is 35w per square foot. With a 100w light, you’re getting about 25w per square foot realistically. You’ll have loose airy buds and you’ll have small yields. It’s facts. With a 250w HID, they don’t get terribly hot. Yes...
