Update - around day 25: Jack Herer had some interveinal necrosis on its earliest and largest leaves. Those have been plucked. Not sure what is causing this or the leaf under-curl.

Humidity has been kept constant at 50%. Temps held between 75°-80° F. No res change yet. Just keeping EC and pH in check.

Just added 2 more airstones. I had 2 per bucket and none in the res. Added 2 to the res and a smaller air pump.

Looks like the roots of one of the 91 Krypt x Ice has not reached the water yet. It is much smaller than the others. Going to go back to hand watering the rock wool for another week or so to help it along.

The others seem to be doing quite well. Thinking about fimming them soon.

And my tomato plant is trucking along, too. ;-)

Still working on the flower room setup. Maybe pics of that next time.

Additions I'm interested in:
Water chillers
CO2 enhancement systems

What CO2 systems would folks recommend?

Around 5-6 weeks in. Moved to the flower space. Got a water chiller inline but need a new power circuit to handle the additional load.

Added the scgrog net to train the big ones before flower. Too soon?

Got a problem with light leaking in my barn. Wondering if it wouldn't be smarter to take the time to build a grow room inside the barn. But that means a complete restart with the lights, ductwork, etc.

Looks like the Dropbox links didn't work for the images. Trying again with the app this time...

Those pics were taken with the lights off.

My reasoning for dark during the day and light at night is because I don't think the barn will hold enough heat during the winter nights and doesn't have enough cooling capability during the days of summer with all the lights on.

Trying to use the lights at night this winter to supplement the heaters, and during the summer to keep it cooler during afternoon hours.

Flowering area, currently vegging them at 18 hours a day of light:

Seeds germinated in just 3 days... these are high CBD strains:

Left Jack Herer in the veg tent. (Need the flowering room finished for more at a time):

I have no followers or commenters. Am I that uninteresting?

Thanks @Balat. Still learning. Lots to know and control.

Yep, I moved to Colorado so I can grow legally. Out away from major cities, about every property comes with at least one Cleary barn.

I have a problem with the Jack Herer strain I need help with. Please can someone help identify what's going on here?
