Okay, I'm starting to feel like it's getting out of control...my shit is growing too good....My environment to freaking awesome lol. I added a smaller fan for between the bushiest ones and I have the huge AC/FAN to hit them from the front. Currently, I've got my humidity at 75 and temps in the low 80's. I'm going to drop the humidity soon as I see flowers to around 50 for the first two weeks and then below 40 till two weeks before harvest when I'm gonna have the plants defending themselves cause the humidity will be below 20%.....
I'm watering right now using cal-mag, GH Flora Part 1 and 3....equal parts till I get to about 800PPM that's what I'm feeding them....I feel like since I'm using fox-Farm and Im' barely outside of the first month it still has nutrients so I wanna avoid using too much N....Hope I'm right...I did Some super-cropping and tucking under the wire as best I could....I probably should have flowered earlier if this is all the space I wanted to use....But I was listening to certain people on here....who have disappeared I might add....All Is well...

I included my whole set-up....I'm going to be utilizing everything here in flower to mitigate overcrowding with an over-abundance of airflow....and dehumidifying when needed...

You don't have any buds yet. So nothing to rot with hi humidity. In 4 weeks tho that will be very bad. So get it solved sooner than later.

I would not count the transition as weeks.

I would say your about day 1 flower ish. I dont count weeks but when I did I would start about this time.

Need to he very careful with humidity when the buds fill in. I turned my fans off to take tric pics and forgot to turn them back on. Lost ounce or 2 from rot after that.

Like something as simple as one day of high humidity or did you forget for a few days or a week or so?

Well My roots are looking much better this second time around20210401_094644.jpg
I can't lift it higher because of the cage but they are way longer than that...I would say I learn from my mistakes.
I managed to keep the plant 6 inches high but over a foot long....I bent it from day one 20210401_063315.jpg

I've kept my goal of not wasting any space, I tested my light with my lux meter and i'm 55k at canopy and 15k at the ground so according to the charts I should get bud all the way down.

And To get everything even so I get this view every day

They are looking Better and Better. Seriously for having zero buds Thursday to this Saturday.... I think they are growing ok?20210403_062324.jpg20210403_062346.jpg

I've been feeding them mainly 1 part cal-mag 1 part- Gh Flora Grow Micro and 2 parts Flora Bloom. I was skipping the extra nitrogen in grow BECAUSE I feel like there is already a little nitrogen in the fox farm and there's some in the micro so unless I see a deficiency I'm going to leave it at that. I'm excited now...Things are moving pretty fast, Buds are doubling every day...I mean it's been two days but still......
I think....I hope i did a good job of getting the plants small but branches long and super sturdy.....I popped branches daily (squeezed them) most of the branches are so hard they are indistinguishable from the main stem...literally....there are a few tiny branches every not and then but even them when I noticed them I would squeeze them...but since I started seeing flowers I don't want to any damage to the plant that it has to repair so if it's skinny and made it to this point it's gonna have to ride it out. I'm not cutting any growth under the fencing....it isn't much BUT I used my light meter and I'm getting some decent light down there.
So PPM 400 for the runt GSC, because it gets showing slight nute burns on one leaf and in general, is disappointing in it's growth compared to her fat greedy as sister next to her. She gets feed like the rest of them around 800 PPM the vast majority of that cal-mag and bloom. Shul I buy any supplements at this point? I wonder aloud...

Oh and I'm keeping my humidity at about 45....at dirt level and that's right after I water.....My goal is to prevent the tent temperature of going above 80 now that I have flowers developing to make sure I don't destroy any terpenes and honestly this AC will work perfect for it. TBH I'm removing it out of the tent for the next grow but only because I'm buying a 2nd tent in this room and it makes more sense now to just cool the room.

I'm really impressed with the Hydro plant...Honestly from the initially difficulties and the delay in waiting for the roots to hit the water...that time really slows you down...That week while your dirt plants are rocking you are waiting for that hydro to hit the water...then grow hairs...it takes some time and they end up behind. Hindsight I would have put them all in dirt and then once the roots were long and sexy then I would transfer it to hydro. Maybe something crazy like planting it in dirt, inside of a net pot filled with hydroton..THEN.. plant in the dirt...pull everything out in two weeks....gently soak the net pot in water to remove most of the dirt and stick it in the DWC. I dunno, I don't feel like buy a chiller ATM and honestly I prefer taste of anything else....I mean unless this hydro plant produces double of some shit then I'll grow dwc next....I've gotta see at Harvest...But I won't know taste until I'm already half way through my next grow...and frankly I don't want to worry about temperature so much during veg.....So I think I'll go All dirt next grow in both tents and once I cure and Tatste the hydro vs the dirt blue dream I'll make a decision to run one tent dirt and one hydro...

I think I want to go clone....Window Sill for two weeks in sun..flower...fill up both tents and stagger harvests so I'm harvesting one tent every other month......Does that math work?

So apparently you gotta calibrate your ph pen every month....I just calibrated mines and realized my hydro water was a 3.5..yikes....glad I caught it...

I aint used a ph pen for around 8 year,we do have really nice water though.If the water that you are drinking is good enough for you to drink take my word the plants will be fine,everyone said that i was mad not doing it.But since i stopped i have far less problems,i do use a ec bluelab though.I do think ph'ing is important if your water is really bad,but our water is perfect.I have 3 plant in at the minute and there drinking 9 litre every 12 hour.I went more with making sure that the water i was using has plenty of air been pumped into it via fish pumps in the bottom of auto pots via air rings,and compressor in main res to get those nutes moving around.I'm hand feeding bottom end with the blackberry kush i have,just could not be bothered to ad extra line.Try on plant with out ph'ing,but use a ec meter so you get the nutes right .

I have a TDS/EC and Ph Pen by H&M....I'e developed such a habit of PH'ing every bit of water now...it would be tough to break the habit....We do have pretty decent water here though.....Hey What kind of flowering supplements do you use?

Well And Here are how my babies are looking today. I've had ZERO problems....Feeding about 1200PPM mostly bloom 1 part cal mag 1 part micro and 5 parts bloom they are loving it.20210407_062203.jpg

Exactly how I hoped where I'd be able to grow the entire plant under the light without having to cut off anything
20210407_062150.jpg

There is actually frost crowing on my babies...or tricom or wutver20210407_062535.jpg

Every day they are going to grow bigger and frostier and perfecter....I think I'll probably get a half a P out this Baby grow at least...

LOL, they said start over...
