i still have 4-5 weeks to go, and i am randomly letting the temps get into the lower 60's upper 50's in an effort to create more frost, i am also letting the humidity get down in the 30's with lights on

 

[Danishoes21]

Very good thinking, couldn't agree more with what you just said!

 

[sciguy]

Its getting frostier every week G00ch

 

[G00ch]

I am working it, my biggest problem currently is consistensy with humidity between on and off i did ok tonight kept within 10%. But tonight when lights come on i am installing a second enclosed reflector and removing the batwing pos that is in there, and hopefully the other 2 plants start taking off as well as the 2 under the other enclosed

Humidity is a PIA this time of year... I have a humidifier on the way ;/

FE

 

[G00ch]

I actually have 2 humidifiers i have one in the tent and one in the room outside the tent, but i just added a new light and it has thrown everything out the window with regards to how i had it set up, so i will learn what i need to keep it in the 40% area rather then 35

 

[G00ch]

A couple update tonight
first and foremost here is my 2 day image update, Is it me or are they still getting fatter and fatter?

im sure many of you have heard of lst or low stress training. Have you ever heard of HST high stress training? I havnt heard of it so i created it i am taking a plant in 5 weeks of flower and bending her gently so i can get her more under the lights, i am pulling the branches out in an effort to open up the light inside
If this has already been created and coined then i will retract my claim

the connection point holding the main stem

the bend keeping the cola under the light better

branches being pulled

here is the venting installed

and i find buds forming at the bottom of my plant where very little light is even getting to, guess my formula is really good?

 

[G00ch]

so i checked the res and i found the ec rising to 2.6 and the ph dropping to 5.6 so i opened it up and saw the girls enjoyed a night of drinking. so i put a couple gallon back in the res the ec dropped to 2.1 and the ph to 5.9, and since this is mid to late flower i know the girls are drunk on potassium, so i added 1/4 tsp of RAW potassium nudged ec to 2.2 and ph down to 5.8, cant wait to peek in when the lights come on

 

[G00ch]

Its beginning to smell a little like weed here at this joyous time of year, when turkey's hide and pumpkins go for rides.

 

[glimmergrass]

Hey, G00ch! Those photos are great! I bet those girls are smelling gorgeous

 

[G00ch]

well at least there is a smell now, its slightly fruity just a hint, but i know i am just being impatient there are 4-5 weeks left. Part of the problome is i smoke all the time so it always smells like weed just not my plants or i cant differentiate, i dunno im high as fuck, and these bitches are getting fatter by the minute, especially since i got the second light installed.
I was completely ignorant about how awesome hooking up the cooling fans would be, my lights are cool to the touch

 

[OlderGrower]

Hey G00ch! Your garden is looking simply loverly.
How long have they been in flower since you flipped? I am thinking we are pretty close to the same time.
I see I am not the only one who appreciates lots of photos, those ladies are gorgeous
Got to love that first whiff in the morning when you first open up that tent, aw heaven

Hey G00ch this comment has me confused, maybe I am missing something, which not be the 1st time. I was always under the impression that in flower, you want low RH% to prevent bud rot and that the target zone was 30% to 40%. Is 40% better? I have been driving my RH% down and finally in the 34 to 37% range and was ecstatic, should I allow it to back up to 40%?
