Alafornia's 1st Time Multistrain Medical Grow

[N420]

May have been before you jumped in that I mentioned I plan to turn the exhaust on when the humidifier got here. The fan controller got here today, too, so good timing. Plan to set it at 50%. It's a 6" 450 or so cfpm fan from ipower with an phresh intake and exhaust filter

I think that was before I jumped in sounds like you have a really good plan in place.

Glad you got out for lunch. But really, out for lunch with a toothache. After that tooth is better you and Mrs. A should go out for a bite to eat.
The THC helping the meltdowns is the greatest news! I am sure he is getting used to this new way of living.
If you're ever going before Congress to give a testimonial, let me know. I gotta see it. If anyone can away them, you can.

 

[Alafornia]

Ok. Just spent close to 2 hours installing, testing, tidying.

The humidifier is installed.

Measured plant height and lowered the lights to 24” above the “canopy”. Had to rerun the wiring across the tent for the nearest light.

Also plugged in the new fan controller and fan.

I also placed bungee cords - the best thing I had on hand - to help keep the sides from sinking in so far. I need bars for this job and an intake fan. If that’s not enough perhaps a larger intake. Hopefully the fan will do.

Coming up:
Pruning and plant pics

 

[Alafornia]

Taking @InTheShed ’s advice to heart I pruned some lower leaves off MH1, Blueberry, Westley, and OG Kush CBD.

 

[Alafornia]

The pruning opened up some space. Pics may be jumbled.

 

[Newfun]

Nice new humidifier. Looks like a Haven for your girls.

 

[Alafornia]

Plant tops may be jumbled as well. Also included are group pics one they were back in the tent.

 

[Alafornia]

Humidity with tent door open. Humidifier is set to 60%.

 

[Alafornia]

The humidifier will hold 1.7 gal. It has an antimicrobial filter and I placed an antimicrobial ball in the tank. It is an evaporative humidifier so no mist is sprayed at all. A fan pulls air across the filter to humidify.

I'm going to order an intake fan and see about getting some bars to hold the sides out some.

Plant tops were, I think, prior to pruning.

I was out there so long Mrs. Alafornia walked out to check on me and scared the bejesus out of me with a "Hey." The dogs were glad to see me again and get a treat before bed. They like to cuddle.

Wow... it is beautiful in there. Unwrapping and Installing new equipment is always insanely satisfying. Worth all the work it requires to actually figure out how to use the dam things too. Haha.

Hey Al, awesome new humidifier! Plants are looking good. Your setups really coming together, I’m jealous! I would leave the light setting for now and turn it up in a week or so when they’re just a bit bigger, what it’s at now should be plenty for them at this stage.

 

[Alafornia]

40% and holding isn’t too bad considering. Thing went through over a gal overnight. Refilled the tank and snapped a few pics.

 

[Alafornia]

NL looking droopy since yesterday. Beginning to thirst. Holding off for now. No water since Saturday’s up potting.

 

[DonkeyDick]

Looking great in there, Al

 

[GHempster]

Looking great what a grow. Let's grow some medicine for the family. This is a great grow for all the right reasons.

Say hi to the rest of family from 420 Mag.

 

[FishEyedFool]

Loving your setup, Al. You should be close to dialing it in, the way you want it. And I second what @GHempster said above - "This is a great grow for all the right reasons." Amen to that.

 

[Sparkey224]

Awesome Al with Temps/humidity
Plants look great and watering/ feeding are on point. Took me a long time to figure that out..lol great job my friend

 

[InTheShed]

Getting your environment dialed in will definitely help your plants. 42% is still pretty low at this stage so the towel may still be of benefit for them. If you can get it into the 60s now that would be better.

I pruned some lower leaves

I may have confused you with my advice. I meant take off the entire leaf at the petiole, just leaving the leaf stem attached to the trunk.

 

[Alafornia]

I thought about that in the interim, Shed. I'll go back and hopefully fix it right.
