Have you shopped at the garden center across the river? I wonder if they have those airpots.

They probably could order them, they do not have in stock. I have been ordering online from Rogue Hydroponics. They have free shipping and since in Salem or Eugene I usually get within day or two. I think the 15 gallon is a bit overkill though. Might be great for summer outdoor grow though.

Welcome RL!

Room for one more?

 

[Crawdaddy]

Welcome Dresney, always room.

To answer Jon's question about light height, just measured and it 28-30" from all the plant tops as of now.

Going to pull up a chair and hang out for the ride.

I'm really interested to see what the cob light will do.

 

[Light Addict]

Best of all things green to you my friend and many thanks for popping over and giving your advice with my big Gerts issues!

 

[Crawdaddy]

Your welcome LA, I think she is looking great.

Question for all, is 30% humidity to low, and if so what should I do to raise it?

 

[Light Addict]

Does seem a little low for vegging, I'd go with the old style bowl of water with a towel hanging inside tent with the end sat drawing up the water to bring up humidity. Probably is a better way lol. In flower Lower humidity can be used to promote better trich production but thats for the last stages of flowering.

get a humidifier if $$ isn't that big an issue. You can get them at walmart for around 20$ i would imagine.

So am I.

Thanks guys, I turned off exhaust fan and seeing what happens....right now 86 degrees F and 54% humidity. May go with a CO2 setup and leave fan off, if not get much hotter.

I am thinking this pheno take AT LEAST 80 days to finish if not more, will see in this grow cause will not let the mites take over again, got lazy before.

My Hawaiian Snow is going to go past 100 days after pistils. She's at 90 days now with at least 2 weeks to go. I'm getting tired of looking at her.

Hopefully she ends up being worth the time, IMO the good Sativas are.

hello

 

[Crawdaddy]

welcome Bud!

I sprayed the plants down with MightyWash after the lights went off. Will wash with H20 before lights come back on. Weird looking pink stuff, people where raving about its mite killing properties online, so lets see.

That should knock the mites back before I switch to 12/12 tonight. This is their first 12 hour dark cycle.

 

[Crawdaddy]

Decieded to keep exhaust fan off and use CO2 instead of finding way to raise humidity.

With light on last night and no exhaust fan on, it maxed out at 86 degrees F and about 55% humidity.

So I followed this DIY guideDIY CO2 Generator - Compliments of Jandre 2k3!, and with a few mods, like using gallon milk jugs instead of 2 liters, and twice amount of yeast/sugar. I ended up with this...

Brewing jug on left filtered through water jug on right, then into tubing with little thumb tack holes that is mounted on roof of tent. I Hope the holes let out CO2, they seemed to seal themselves back up with type of tubing I got.

Anyone have any idea, beyond buying expensive CO2 meter, how I can tell if it is coming out of holes and into tent? It is bubbling good from brewers jug into water filter jug.

Put a canary in there. If it dies, your good

 

[Crawdaddy]

Lol pucker.

 

[digger1]

The pressure will open the weakest point in the tubing. Don't worry those pin holes will be it. If not the gas will find another way and that is a mess.
