Lowryder Dwarf Mix HPS & CFL Grow

It must be getting pretty cold where you are now mate?

Whats your lights out temperatures like in the growroom?

Below 68f can lockout N in the rhizosphere, causing yellowing.

I have to keep my heating on all night now, used to get nitrogen uptake problems every winter. cold compo at lights off.

Or it could just be some yellowing from where it was getting hungry in the last pot with spent compo, only just showing itself now.

Hope you get that one sorted. I had the odd little thing like that last time and it never got serious but always worth keeping an eye on these things. 3 females out of 4 is great, I got 3 out of 8 last time! Out of my sexed ones I have 1 out of 3 so far so my grows seem to have the low ratio! Poo!

Day 13 for me now and they are starting to SMELL! I've been clean for months now and it's bringing it all back; just beautiful. It does raise the question of odor control. What are you using?

my temps get as low as 15c, 69f with light out

looks like i will need to work out how i can heat them up for the 6 hours of darkness, i aint leaving my heatin on all night im on gas and that shiz is expensive over night

maybe get a heater on a seperate timer? i dunno.

turns out the one that never showed sex yet is actually a male? i dont know why its taken so long to show compared to the others? thats the one with the yellowing problems so those problems are no more

it was the indie lookin freak grower aswell though, i was looking forward to see how it turned out.

turns out only 2 are females. i still cant complain at 2 out of 4 really. and i still got 2 more ready for sexing in a week or so. hopefully some of the others will be female for you queen.

Temperature conversion online.

15 degrees C is 59 degrees F mate, not 69 lol. yep youl need to do something about that bro, thats far too cold for em, i leave my heating on all night on low setting, which keeps my rooms at a nice toasty 20 degrees c, but oil filled radiators work very well mate, many uk growers use em lol shitty cold country were in eh? lol

Its a pain innit, too hot with the lights on, so you do all you can to lower temps, then too cold lights out and you need to warm em up lmao.

yeh i did a google search on the 15c 59f thing i just wrote 69 by mistake

i know these need abit of pleasing dont they. i seen a little miniture oil filled heater somewhere the other week, it was tiny. perfect for my grow space. i'l nab one when i find it. it only needs to be on when lights are off. iv got lights on temp sorted it sits nicely at 25c.

just uploading some pics. brought my camera today but forgot the lead so phone pics again.

yeah im feeling the winter now too lol. I just keep my flat warm and it seems to do ok

25C is lovely with lights on mate, perfeck lol yea the rad doesnt have to be in the room mate, just near the room, preferably near the air intake so it can suck the warm air in.

The oil filled rads are much safer to leave on overnight or unnattended than say fan heaters or those upright coil heaters lol theyre deadly lmao.

Its gettin freezin now eh Mr West, gonna be a cold one this year i think.

just a few pics from the weekend and today.

2 females out of the 4 older plants and 2 younger plants not showing sex yet.

plus i got bored so some trich shots from the hindu kush i been smoking recently.

first pic is the one with the yellowing probs. recently found its male.

second is the smallest plant, its very small but its female though

third is the other female i have, its getting nice and bushy now. i cant turn the pic around as it keeps freeezin when i do so you guys will need to tilt your head to the left

fouth and fiifth are the younger plants.

6th you can see the yellowing more on the male.

and the last ones are the trich's from this kush. asyou can see its a lil early. still nice though.

congrats on the fems dude. Hey any pot is better than perpetuating the soap bar barrons lmao. Im thinkin of turning the rad on in my room at night lol fo the girlys lol. My veg room aint off long enough to get too cold in 6 hrs

yeh mine is only off six hours but in them 6 it drops 10c. i'l get a little rad and sit it outside the growbox where the intake is.

i thought 10 degrees was ideal for the difrence tween day an night could be wrong tho lol

Should be no more than a 10 degree difference between light on and light off temps, about a 5 degree drop is ideal, but it all depends what your lights on starting temps are lol

A 10c drop is about a 25f drop lol

i work wit f rather than c lol

yeh its not how much it drops that bothers me mate, its the fact that it sits at 15c or less with light of. that pretty cold

that is pretty cold, lets all move to spain lol, sure if we pooled all our money we could by an old farm house in spain lol.
