Yea, really. She was a rooted clone and went into dirt on 4/20 and went in the greenhouse the 1st of May.
So I watched the humidity go down when the fans went on. Dropped from 89% to 60 in just a couple minutes.
I had them going on at 8:00 but I changed it to 10:00 cause the temps had dropped. I'll change it back. Cool thanks again.

no prob man, glad to see the fans helped. on that note, if you have the fans on the floor running and blowing up, there air may be warmer coming off the ground, and cover more of your grow, while your running them during "lights out" that is. i cant be certain of those statements, but it sounds logical in my mind!!! :bigjoint:

OK, I got a list of strains I want to try for my first winter harvest.
Master Kush and Northers lights are both listed as strains that do well in cold weather.
Figured if I just stuck with indica dominate I'll be alright. These will go in soil.
Master Kush
Bubba Kush
Northern lights #5
Granddaddy purple
Agent orange
Grape punch


Then I have a blue dream teen thats almost ready to strip for clones.
I think I will be able to get five from her and the top will make six.

These will be the hydro grow. They will go into a waterfarm setup.
They are going to be a couple weeks behind the others. I wont have a third harvest this first year. I am going to make some modifications to the greenhouse in the spring. These grows will help me decide whats the better way to go and modify the greenhouse accordingly.

sounds like an awesome line-up.

dont know if you use it or not, but the silica products like pro-tekt from dyna-gro are suppose to help plants withstand the cold temperature, along with other plant problems, better. some extra insurance to think about, if you dont already have it. i know there are other manufaturers, and dyna-gro even has a high silica soiless (i think) planting media that is high in silica.

Oh, I got the CO2 hooked up today, I used a rainbird drip system manifold to defuse the co2.


​


I got it going to eight spots across the canopy. Hooked up the regulator to the water timer so it shoots a blast of co2 every time it waters, twice a day at eight oclock. I found my bubble counter but that isnt gonna help. All it does really is tell me if the gas is on. I opened the flow to what read 20 on the gauge and it goes for 4 minutes. Who knows, I'll try this for a couple days and check for movement. Started it tonight at 8:00 watering. After the morning dose I'll check the ppm around 9:00 I guess to see if I can gas these mites with the screens on. If not I will close it up tight tomorrow and try again.

I wish I had the "opportunity".... one day I'll move to the country and build exactly what I want. I've learned so much from you and this community. Glad we have this as a resource. peace

That sounds cool. I don't know what I would do without high speed internet though.
I've learned a lot here. Just glad to give some back.

Well all these girls have gone 8 weeks in flower already. I set off a fogger a week ago, from what I read you wanna wait at least a week after one of those so I'm there now but they dont look quite done to me. Trichs are all cloudy sure but a lot of the pistils are still growing. Indoors by this time most of the pistils have died or turned amber, maybe its an outdoor thing IDK but it seems like they are still growing.

yeah, they probably are. this is a different beast for ya. may actually need to take some samplers since your in unfamiliar territory outside and all. just to make sure the buzz is where you want.

ya know how it's said that if you put wet electronics in dry rice it will dry it out. well i think this may work to quick dry a sampler bud without some of the harshness that warming a bud for quick dry does. i havent had a harvest since i thought of it, so i am not sure if it will work. figured i would share some more of my ramblings with you and the rest of the followers.

Yea, that's what I thought, still growing.
Some lower stuff look ready but if there is pesticide residue from the fogger that would have the highest concentration.

Rambling is cool, about the subject of course, I do it all the time and figure out ways things dont work. Once in a while I get lucky. The dry ice thing, I dont think so man, I can see how it would remove moisture but there is two other things to consider, It takes time for the trichomes to go through there chemical change and become psychoactive and at the same time the chlorophyll needs to dissipate through evaporation. I think a quick dry will give you an idea but not a good one. I've read trichomes continue to ripen during the curing stage too.

no, dry white rice (think Uncle Ben or Rice-A-Roni)!!! i would never recommend dry ice for drying buds!HAHAHA you must have thought i was an idiot!! I would have!! LOL sorry for the mixup.

that makes since about the ripening through cure, cuz even through death growth still continues.

still laughing my ass off about the dry ice, prob would get Co2 poison from smoking that shit!!!

LOL

OK, My bad, I thought you said Ice, I read it wrong.
Yea, I didnt want to say anything cause I like new ideas but your right, I didnt think that was a good one.
Now Rice makes sense. A friend of mine uses it in cure when he has the cut grass smell. Ice, yea, ok. D'oh!

cool, great to hear that someone else has actually used it. that means there is more merit to my idea than i originally thought.
