I'll definitely look into that.

Opened the tent up to 3x2x4.5 feet and changed intake/ exhaust around. Temp high at 76. Hopefully the exhaust above the light will bring it down more. I also changed from a 14x6 in intake hole to a 4 inch round hole. Better airflow already.

MD is 17 days, PL is 16 days, GC is 15 days.

Looking great man. Whenever you have the chance add some nametags or edit with text to each plant so new people seeing this thread know which plant is which. I also don't recall to be honest maybe because I smoked a little something lol.

Haha. I'll do that. I have a tiny piece of label maker tape that says MD, PL, and GC on each bucket, but it's on the side and I dont think toy can see it. I'll get something up later today after work.

@Eugenios

I got those nametags ready. They would look much better in color, but I only have a black and white printer lol.

So far in the last 24 hours, right now has been the hottest time. That makes sense because my AC is off, but will be on soon. Hopefully this will be the hottest it will be.

I think it's time for some LST. PL is growing taller and can easily be bent to the edge of the pot. MD is still really short, but I'll try and bend her and well.

MD 19 days, PL 18 days, GC 17 days.

Hey bro. Appreciate the nametags. Temp is also great. 77f is not even close to the dangerously hot zone. Yeah, PL can be trained today or one of these days for sure. I would probably wait a couple more days. MD can also be tied down but some leaves will be touching the medium and it's so annoying for me lol. Take a look at these 2 videos regarding LSTing. In the second link, his plants are pretty short so you get some ideas for your MD as well.

Thank you! Any recommendations about a carbon filter? I have the exhaust fan right above the light, does the filter have to be a certain height above it so it doesnt get too warm?

No idea buddy. I'm growing without a filter but when I installed my brother's tent, we connected the exhaust fan with ducking to the carbon filter but we left it outside of the tent just to have some extra space.

I can play around with it and see. This is from this morning. Some LST on PL last night. Because MD is so short I wasnt sure what to do, so I removed 2 fan leaves blocking the lower areas. I was going to let it go, but I read it's best to defoliate before flower.

1st pic is before removal of fan leaves. 2nd is after. I hope that was the right move :confused:

Day 20 for MD, 19 for PL, 18 for GC

Good call. I wouldn't recommend if I haven't done it myself. I always removed fan leaves that blocked tops and I always kept supercropping the main top just to be on the same level as the other ones. Always had great results doing this. Just don't overdo it each time so the plant can recover. Every 4-5 days I remove fan leaves ONLY IF they block tops.

Thanks man! Those videos really helped as will well. I only removed the 2 because they were blocking for sure, I'll wait to see if I can do LST soon and then remove more if needed. Im trying to let them go as natural as possible, but with a small tent I can't do that lol. Because PL is showing preflowers everywhere I didn't want to trim leaves, so I tucked 1 down. My whole room smells already. Amazing it smells this much. It smells sweet, definitely great! Cant wait for the other 2 to show. Im hoping this PL shows purple as well. Sometimes it doesn't, but with the 12 degree difference ( 66-77 )that I hope to continue to maintain, I hope that purple comes out nice. This is for my wife's favorite color :peace:

Isn't that the truth!! Same day update, I think I got the temps under control. PL is doing great after LST. Close up of main cola. Green crack will need a trim of the fan leaves soon, and MD is going to need another 1 or 2 leaves removed in a few days because it is covering the bottom colas.

cirE · Nov 21, 2020

No AC running last night because it's getting colder here, but the temps are stabilized. Going to water and add more DE to the soil tomorrow. I forgot to fill up water last night to let sit out. All 3 are doing great, and GC is catching up. I think I got the water schedule down now. GC definitely needs less water than the other 2, so I was over watering. I'm going to do some major LST tonight for all 3. Going to open them all up to try and avoid constantly trimming. Pics to come after LST. Here is this morning.

MD is 22 days
PL is 21 days
GC is 20 days

Yeah, go easy on the watering since you're growing in soil. Lift your pots or poke 1/3 of your finger to chech if it's dry or moist. Ladies looling good. I'm really looking forward to seeing the colours of the PL. Having some low temps will bring out more and more purple. It's gettin cold here as well. 22°c in my tent and don't even have a fan at the moment.

That's A good temp without a fan! I have that crappy one in there. It's supposed to oscillate, but that broke. Going to get a better fan soon. Trying to space out buying things. My wife is very back and forth about having to buy everything, work trying to do as many little purchases over time as I can. Lol

I didnt have to LST as much as I Thought for now. I moved MD and GC around, trimmed a couple more fan leaves from MD (i should be done trimming for good now), and then LST GC and MD. The close up pics are of PL flowering and her leaves. Nitrogen toxicity maybe? I'm not adding any extra nutrients. Claw like leaf tips, and dark towards the tip.

cirE · Nov 23, 2020

Pics from this morning. They are all coming along nicely. Hoping for a purple phenotype for PL, and for MD and GC to show preflowers soon.

MD 24 days
PL is 23 days
GC is 22 days

cirE · Nov 24, 2020

MD is 25 days
PL is 24 days
GC is 23 days

Major LST for PL as she is getting tall. If no LST she would be at least 2 feet right now. I honestly have no idea what to so for MD and GC. I hope they stretch a lot so I can do some good LST for them. They are both under 8 inches tall, but very bushy.

Is that purple coming in for PL, or is that nute deficiency/toxicity?

Wow, I didn't expect PL to get so tall. Good job on the LST and absolutely continue tieing her down. The others are doing well but just short and bushy. They will start flowering any time soon so they will stretch. I wouldn't worry about that purple. Some people say it's a mag def but that's a myth and it's definetely not the purple of the strain coming out. That will show up on mid flowering and by end of flowering it would be all purple especially if you have the temps on the low side. They're all healthy.

Thank you, I'l keep waiting for the purple to show up.

All 3 are looking Good and going strong. I forgot to get a pic, but PL stalk is as big as my finger now.
