Hope all is well. Cool solution Improvise!

Well- they were actually pretty good.
The fan leaves were the size of my sunglasses!!!

I gave them a trim and a good feeding and checked my temp log.

Max Temp while away;

Low Temp

After the trim;

I also named them Goldilocks and the 3 Stooges.
The MasterKush is Goldilocks (Bottom Right)
Larry- Rockstar (Bottom Left)
Curly and Moe- Megadons. (The two in the last picture on the top)

As you can see there's one pot that isn't like the others and that I added a 39W and 24W T5HO fixture. I've realized I need to upgrade or add another LED... but I'm utilizing what I have for now.

I also wanted to give a shoutout to Improvise for the idea on the ceramic heat lamp and where to get a decent controller.

It's worked beautifully!

Yeh nail-biting time, hope they rolling for ya. when i go away for a week i use these glass globes fill up and stick in soil upright, as the soil around the pointed end drys out water is released into the soil. You can observe tiny bubbles rising in the globe when the plant is drinking.

I was thinking about those. But the humidity stayed within 50% range. So I got a week from feeding them 1L each before leaving.

Picture from this morning. Responded nicely to the trimming.

Ok- so they appear to like the added light. Made another mod. I attached the CFL to an old shelf. To give some vertical light.

Here's a picture from the top;

Here's an example of the difference with and without the CFLs added;

Are you feeding daily ?

 

[WestCoastHigh]

Are you feeding daily ?

No- every Sunday
I was away in Mexico all last week. So they got neglected. I added more light this week and will start feeding them 3 times a week.

Promix hp should be treated like coco or hydro

Which means always keeping that medium wet good to feed til run off everyday so you push the salts that are in their out of your doing the less is more tactic then salt build up should be minimal .

Or you can feed small amounts two or three times then do a flush then again if not going to run off?

My best advice I can give you .

Appreciate it. I'll give them a feeding today. I'll switch to 3 times a week. That's more than I'm doing now and hopefully will improve results. I'm not in a position to water every day without automation. So this will have to do for now.

Best to water during lights on?

I try not to open the tent at all when in darkness.

 

[WestCoastHigh]

Gave them each 1L of nutrient water. With 500ml around the edges. That should be good for a bit. I'll feed them 500ml more nutes Tuesday morning before I head out of town.

Then Friday when I get back depending on soil moisture.

I've just been watering them based on soil moisture beneath the surface. If I was knuckle deep in dry- then time to water.

 

[WestCoastHigh]

This is yesterday's picture. Ill upload tonight's when the lights come back on tonight.

When I checked on them this morning- there was a noticeable change to this picture.

 

[WestCoastHigh]

Took this before I left Tuesday morning. About 330 am.

 

[WestCoastHigh]

Does anyone know how I can upload pictures from my phone? Previously it would let me attach them. But for some reason I can't do it?

I have some new pictures to post...

Oh- cool. Thanks!

I was having issues last week and did a quick search. But I suck at that. Figured it was probably my phone. So I did an update and nothing. Thanks for the speedy response!

 

[Chris Scorpio]

In the future just do a report, that way it get flagged and sent to the appropriate people

I also hope it's fixed soon...my fingers are crossed

I’ve added two heat lamps shining on the outside of the tent to add some additional heat until my extra ceramic heat coils get here.
Right now I’m keeping around 24C. I was at 17C earlier. So tonight should be a good night.
