Camper2016's First Grow - Candy Cane Auto

[camper2016]

Well....I have the lights set on 100% but have the ballast set about 40" inches above the girls...now with the proper venting I can lower the ballast but I think there's plenty of light given the area the plants are in...read somewhere on this site if you adjust the light intensity too low with HPS it alters the spectrum affecting the plant's growth?? I'm sticking with that...if it's bunk let me know...

As far as the potting soil I think I start with too many nutes and its just taking time to flush out,,,,I think having the temps right will make a big difference...we'll see

 

[camper2016]

I have lowered the ballast down to 2ft - 2.5ft above the plants....temp still hanging around 90f but I think much of that is residual build up.......I think we'll have a better reading tomorrow

 

[camper2016]

OK....the latest reading has 57% humid and 87f temp....it's stayed on that temp for a while...started at 78f....

They are looking happy for ya despite the higher temps. Just will take a bit of time for them to recover.

Good....thanks for the saying so...hopefully the temps will be ok...got up 89f and I just turned off lights for the afternoon...will turn on again at 8pm....humidity is higher too

normally, as temps drops, humidity rises and visa versa.

Good...if I can just keep the temp around 85f to 87f I would take that....

Looks like it's finally gripping a little soil. Very good

SCIENCE!

Camper you'll be a master grower in no time. You'll get it dialed in young jedi

 

[camper2016]

Awesome.....I'm glad you guys/gals can see these things....just keep swimming

Good job camper! Those temps should work out much better.

 

[camper2016]

Thank you......I think so too...

 

[camper2016]

well....lights have been going all night and the temp is 89-90f with 51% humid....it was a warm night only getting down to 80f...haven't been running a/c but maybe I should start....more pics

 

[camper2016]

here are some more pics for day 28....whatcha think???

 

[camper2016]

last reading had 90f temp and 51% humid.....temps are ranging in the 88 - 90f area...humid between 45 - 55%.......seeing some changes in all the girls though I think I might be losing one...I last watered Sun/Mon midnight. Plan to water Sat or Sun but will lift and see but that would be 7 days without...just writing thoughts down what do you think...??

Pics? Specifically the one you think may be dying. I'd say you should probably water. Good luck bringing her back! They're resilient little buggers....
