thanks jack, and you got a good point, i do got a 6 inch inline fan sorta lined up with the light in front of it, theres a 8 inch duct thats empty above the light and its sumwhat infront of it, and another 6 inch duct thats empty and that i got open in front of it directly across from the light, i tried to set up my 6 inch circluar fans to where it was blowing air out but jus didnt seem to work all that good, so i resumed to let them blow air around and on my plants, i just keep rotating the pots. but i think im going to have to get an a/c back there whether i like it or not lol its 92F in the tent and the fans are on and the light has been out since 1pm. and it makes me wanna kick myself after studying ur set up, i could have got a cool tube and hooked up ducts to blow air in and out, seriously didnt research enough LOL cant do it with the gullwing set up i got, so ill prolly get a cool tube as well down the road.Picture 004.jpgPicture 005.jpgPicture 007.jpgPicture 008.jpg

This looks like some kind of nute problems and heat damage... 115F is VERY hot for a mj plant, they almost stop growing once it hits the 90s... 115F can kill them AFAIK.

Flush the soil and give em fresh nutes and see if that helps. Till then keep those temps below 90F, that's really the upper limit of what the plant can work with. Best to keep it in the 60s or 70s though (lower is better because it drastically slows the growth of pests).

I live in the central valley of California and it is almost always over 90F. I'm growing outside in my veggie garden...should I shade them during the heat of the day?

thats a good question, i dont see why you should cover them, you got all the fresh cool open air outside, even though it was a 100F in my tent they were still growing, just slower, and theres no cool fresh air coming in really like outside, i say if you notice alot of yellowing and wilting, then you have a heat prob lol im sure more advanced growers here will help u out, just keep an eye on ur girls and watch for wilting and yellowing.

wiki doesn't matter just take care of it and reap the reward's..no one is right or wrong just some work better than other's depending on circumstances...I knew this would be my nemmissis...You have a verry nice set-up just get on e-bay and get the 29.00 cool thruw/socket and mount under your hood! then duct it in place all set!!! you just need fine tunning you have almost all you need to be on auto like me...think about it!! I really like your tent!! I know I could amaze friend's with that for an extra space for high yielder's!!

looks like the fans are blowing directly at the plants... you just want them moving the air around....i would take the lower fan in pic 3 and place it on the opposite side of the tent, point the fans towards a wall

FAB>>>>depend's on size of plant and size of pot and medium (how well it drain's!) they like water just don't like to have there feet in water!! Try to let surface dry and just damp 1" down then water...don't let dry completely but not ever soggy...if you have problem's with watering it is most likely your medium is not correct must drain freely!! good luck jack! small pot 1 gallon with seedling's every3-4 day's and 3 gal prune pot's with 24" and above every 2-3 day's aprox....Try this schedule when you first start...water feed water water feed water feed water water feed water feed flush water feed water water feed ect....use flushing agent to remove all excess salt's accumulated in medium (coco is the worst for holding nute's!) Before bloom be proactive apply cal-mg or you will have to react and try to fix! grow smart be informed about the stage you plant's are at and know potential problem's ahead of time...ie gnat's=Have benificial nematode's (scanmask),spider mite's have no pest strip...watch plant's closely use mycorrihaze when planting and transplanting! Just Grow smart!MG deficiency see leave's!.jpgLSD showing it's genetic's 4 plant's from clones reach!.jpg21 days left.Needed cal-mg!.jpglook around!.jpg

thx all, and i pretty much do the same, i pusy my finger in, if it feels dry, shes prolly dry, is how i look at it, so far its usually every 2 days, depending on heat, and since i relocated the fans and they arent blowing on the plants so the soil seems to stay moist longer, so i was overheating, overfeeding, and drying out the soil LOL live and learn, rip widow, rip bubblelicous, skunk is still thriving, so im pretty much got more coming and calling this one my test run LOL
