hi folks this is my girl (cheese) she is 19 days into 12/12 i wrote on my post days into flower instead of counting from when they started to bud to much meds:tokin:..lol..can anyone help me with this problem my girls leafs are turning up.i think its my temps causing this..im struggling to get them down lastnight when i was running my lights it was 90 in my tent i have flap open wide so they get air in the room also i keep the room door open with a fan in the hallway pointing in towards room still not bringing it down but keeping it the same.
 
hi grace:thanks: again..you must be a mind reader i walked about my house lastnight turning off everything i wasnt using.turned off all the stand by buttons.only doing laundry at nights.its hot during the day so clothes dry easy here.as you say a little goes along way.my landlord is ok he doesnt come near my house i see him once a month when rent dat arrives he mentioned lastmonth about electric being double the norm and asked if all was ok with the power i said its very hot i need to run aircon more he said try and take it easy.i live with my mother and one of the main reasons im doing this is of course for meds for me plus my mother is old she suffers from painfull joints so trying to grow so her quality of life eases a bit.i think i will look at more sativs for my next grow someone said they adapt to the heat better..hopefully this grow gives me good quality :lot-o-toke:......ive got more pics of my grow also my grow room inline fans still to put up.they are on my camera but this comp is playing up will post asap..:peace:

You may also mention that you know others who's electric has also jumped up due to the heat, and if possible offer to help him pay some of the bill, but only if it is not a hardship to you.

Remember, don't just turn off switches, unplug from sockets, something plugged in will still draw energy. I'll check out your site tonight/Thank you/grace:goodjob:

You may want to hang something white like panda film or mylar, if your plants are in the room in your picture the wood will absorb the heat, and not be reflective, also with your fan situation, try to have at least one tall one and a smaller one on the opposite side of the grow, tilt the fan upward toward the top of the plants to keep heat up and closer to exhaust, just my opinion from what I see in your picture. Also, can you fit the fan inside the room, l think you need the fan as close as possible to keep light's heat pushing away from the tops of your plants, this helped me when I was trying to figure out my room, it may take a few attempts and moving lights and fans, plants to better your situation/good luck Tim, hope this helps. Good luck/grace:thumb:

hi grace that is exactly what im going to do.the heat this summer is off the scale.this is southern spain its always hot summers but this year has been in the 90s since beggining of july.im going to say to my landlord i had to put air con on also had to run house fans most of the day.if electric is to high i will offer some cash towards it..he should be ok with that.i get on well with my landlord so shouldnt be major problem..:peace:
 
hi grace: ... i think i will look at more sativs for my next grow someone said they adapt to the heat better..hopefully this grow gives me good quality :lot-o-toke:......ive got more pics of my grow also my grow room inline fans still to put up.they are on my camera but this comp is playing up will post asap..:peace:

You want to grow a Sativa dominant Hybrid, where the genetics of an Indica will influence the characteristics for growth, so she stays shorter and bushy. A Land race Sativa will grow way too tall for indoors unless you have 10-12 ft. ceilings. A ratio of 80/20 (S/I) would do you well, something like Apollo 13, XJ-13, most any Hybrid in that dominant > 75% Sativa, and is MHO only...
 
Hey tommy, How are ya? Well firstly nice setup buddy:thumb: you have some nice strains there, trying to keep temps down can be a pain in the ass at times, i have 3 desk fans in my space - one at bottom level, one mid and one facing upwards mid mount also. This seems to work sufficiently for my space, if i have any temp probs i can open up the small door up top and just leave that and as its nxt to my window its gr8,fresh air comes in with co2 and within couple hours i can circulate all the surrounding air. My girls have been ok with this so far.. Hope you can get it all sorted and have a gr8 harvest. Goodluk

I'm 99.999% sure that SubKool (sp?) has the Apollo. I have only seen XJ-13 in clone form but that doesn't mean squat... The XJ is a bit easier to grow than Jack Herer, although my experiences with both were in clone form only. I cannot afford seeds.
Your ladies: I love that color of green those miraculous ladies give off. Radiant! The most predominant color on the planet. Keep up the good green work, lookin' great!
