Hi everybody,
After years being a reader and learning from others journals, I decide to enter in the community more actively and find more advise and tips and share with good vibes with all this awesome 420community.
First of all, english is not my first language so be kind. I am from the old continent, now i am living in a South American country (south capricorn) for some years. Without practice, I have been loosing the vocabulary and grammar .. hope I improve writing more over here.
I am growing for medical personal use, to take care of an old injury in my back and neck (motocross) that keep coming after long surf session..and my wife that have chronic headache.
Anyway,
my veg room is a shower toilet room
250w cfl
300w Led (brand that no longer a sponsor here and the company doesn't exist anymore lol)
exhaust fan 125cfm (small one for toilet) and a small fan to move air.
Flower room
grow tent 8x4
600w hps air cooled with a digital ballast gavita
Mars II 1200 topled custom spectrum
exhaust centrifugal fan more or less 550 cfm with a controller and carbon filter...I exhaust in the attic.
intake centrifugal fan 125/325 cfm..i plan to intake from outside as soon as I buy a filter (any though? Ive been watching the dust shroom..)
portable AC 9000 btu siting in the room outside the tent at full speed because it is f***g summer and this year it is very hot.
Plants in the flower room are all in soil (royal mix plagron), some in 5g buckets and others that have been vegetated less are in smart pot 15liters.
Plants in veg are clones that i took from plants in flower, I don't keep mother but I plan to in the future when I improve My veg room in the place we will move in a couple of months. Plants under CFL are in soil and the others under the LED are in coco..
About the food:
I use Ro water (water is very very bad here; lots of bad things from mine industry..and ppm at 550) I supplement RO with Pro-cal or cal-mag+ depend what I have available here.
the base nuts for soil are : plagron terra, cannazym and massive bloom and ph up canna pro to adjust at 6.5, watering every 5/6 days
and for coco in veg (first time in coco wanted to give a try), have been given cal mag+, powder-feeding and cannazym, Ec 1,2 and ph at 5.8 (without need to adjust) every watering every other day.
Strains are:
in flower: masterkush, super critical, nothern lights, AMS, NL5 haze mist, and a superbud (I wont do again).
in veg : masterkush, super critical, AMS, Bluemystic, nl5 haze mist
For the climate, as I said it is summer here and with a very hot one this year so I have the lights at night, even that with AC and the grow tent a bit open, I have 80º.. and during the day (night for the plants) I have 72/73º with full AC running.(if I cut the AC during plant sleep it is like 76/78 , question: can I cut Ac and let plant sleep at this temp?) .it's 100+ outside and it is a old rented house with few or no insulation so very hard to keep temp in place.
my electric bill these months will be out of control...lol...
RH is between 45 an 65 %
ok time for pictures:
veg:
Flower Tent:
that's all.
i will have lots a questions in this journey so I hope pro's like drdank, cultivator and lots more can come over here.....
thanks
peace!

King John is the man and if you need someone to listen to I highly recommend the King. He has held my hand for several months now and I won't be letting go!!!!
Looks like its gonna be fun! You have some nice buds going on!
.I think I always cut too early..
im subbed. I run my temps much cooler day and night than whats being suggested here, 75 daytime 69 nightime 40-45% rh max in the floweroom,if your venting outside air into your room and its summertime then theres a good chance of spores of some sort getting in, if you keep the rh low you minimize the risk of mold or pm taking hold. Climate imho is just as important as enough light, if your planning any upgrades in the future a mini split a/c would be the way to go, it would give you total control of your enviroment and give you the option of sealing your room and adding co2. There are several DYI units available out there like mine that are very easy to install
..).and I have two left square hands to build things.. I don't have easy access to indoor growing stuff, and everything cost at least the double.So I need to evaluate...questions : Does Co2 bottles are the same that are used to make beer? does a dehumidifier is needed for sealed room? or the Ac do the job?
