Started some LST today. some of the girls have 6 to 8 nodes already so I wasn't able to get them as low as I wanted.
Also looks like I fed a little too much on the PQ but the GQ looks to have liked it pretty well. (they were fed the same)
Will add pictures when there is more to look at.

[SloppyFarmer]

First set up. Pots are a bit big for this little tent. Gonna set up bigger tent SOON.

What's she sayin? My Cannabis is rusty at best.

Also My RH is staying around 30-35%. Not sure where I got 50 from, but that'ts what my notes say

 

[SloppyFarmer]

Welcome Hippie! thanks for joining me on the ride!

No, these girls are just some clones I got from my local Green Heart.

 

[SloppyFarmer]

Everyone loves pics!

Above are the Green Girls

And below, we have the Purple Skanks

They are Growing super fast, Having an absolute blast with the girls. Still not sure what Light(s) im going to use for flower, and it's coming up pretty fast. More research!
The girls seemed a little droopy today, anything you can tell from the pics? I fed 24 hrs ago if that helps with diagnosis

 

[SloppyFarmer]

Ha! You can see the weed plate I broke this morning off the the right. I was really fond of that plate...

 

[SloppyFarmer]

Hello to anyone that stumbles through! It is Saturday, and Saturday at my house is all about the Pugs, and the Nugs. So here is my A.M. shot with my best buddy Bentley; Sir Bentley. Bentley is a male pug, though never pugnacious. We also have some Blue Dream from my outdoor crop. Don't mind my little popcorns, they punch you right in the face. As I have a toothache this week, I am going straight for my painkillers, and BD never disappoints me there.

 

[SloppyFarmer]

P.S.
The pugs do NOT sample the nugs.

Aaaaaand, this is what I am smoking to atm. Enjoy.

Just Fed, thought I'd throw up a pic. Got the purple girl in the foreground there loving up the lights.

 

[yuyo]

looking real nice

 

[SloppyFarmer]

Thanks Yuyo! It's good to have you along.

This pic is taken in the larger tent. This one is 3.5' X 3.5' X 6'. The lights I have are the same Veg lights and the reflection for the sides just isn't there. I ordered two 400 watt HPS systems that will be here in a couple days to rectify that situation. These will be my floweing lights but will use for the rest of Veg as well on this run.

*EDIT* I am talking about the picture from the previous post. (in case of confusion).

 

[SloppyFarmer]

The two 400 watt hps systems are in. put them up yesterday morning, a little too close to the girls for the first day. I just wanted em to stay nice and toasty! It wasn't bad, just lifted the lights a little and they are sleepin right now. will take more pics soon.

 

[SloppyFarmer]

So this is what we look like now. Im thinking of throwing a screen right at the height they are at now and doing a scrog, but I haven't decided yet. Will update when I have more info!

*edit* looking at the picture now I want to turn that exhaust 90 degrees.

 

[SloppyFarmer]

Overheating and low humidity has been a problem since I got those lights. For Now i have a tray of water with an oscillating fan over it and mother nature blessed me with a rainy day today. Any suggestions as to a good cost efficient way to get the heat down 5-10 degrees while the lights are on?

 

[SmokerJoe]

A low cost way to lower the temperature by a minimum of 5 and up to 15 will be to fill glass bottles with cold water(Beer bottles work well if you take off the labels) The cold water will absorb heat when the lights are on and they will expend that heat during night to keep plants a bit warmer. Just remember to refill bottles due to evaporation.

Thank you very much, will be doing this now.
