Old G's New Auto Grow

[Bill284]

Day 46, I think I’m close to being dialed in. It’s such a fine line between doing damage thru nute burn or overwatering your plants. Last gro my lite was right on top of the plants, they grew great until late flowering when all the leaves were dying and even the sugar leaves crumpled to the touch.Now I know they were root bound and it wasn’t lite stress, thank you Bill for catching it or I woulda chopped in August lol. Lites powered up and they look happy, at least until my next crisis . Thank god for you guys. And the freebie is now 36 inches tall, alittle bit high for my space, I’ll figure it out

Good morning @Old g garden looks great today my friend.
If you are facing height concerns it might be time to lst.
Bend over any tall stems and tie them down.
They will do great.

Stay safe
Bill

I was thinking that this morning I might have to tie some down. Thanks Bill

I did it, kept waiting to hear the dreaded snap, but she seems ok.Big mistake keeping my lites too high, it’s all a learning curve I guess

Great, now you can slam that light right on the canopy.
Keep up the good work my friend.

Day 47, I think the freebie has been rescued. What a difference, double grape is looking good getting plenty of frost

 

[Old G]

This DG looks like the leaves are painted white, just beautiful to watch these grow.

 

[Jungle Joseph]

Wow, little budlets everywhere. Looking nice.

 

[Old G]

That’s the key word little, although they’ve fattened up a lot their still small. I saw another guy grew the same plant he said he was bummed then his plant put out alot of buds and he got a decent harvest, I’m hoping. The double grape is looking beautiful, freaking stinks though I gotta go get an air purifier, any suggestions for an inexpensive one

 

[Old G]

Day 50 DG is doing great, the freebie is coming along

 

[Old G]

Day 51, took some fan leaves off to try and open her up alittle. Plants look good the freebie is still behind, this DG looks very tasty

 

[Old G]

Guys question I got a carbon filter air freshener, how close to the plant should it be. Do u keep ur windows closed when u use it. My plants stink bigtime

 

[Melville Hobbes]

Could you put up a pic? The only type of carbon filter I am familiar with is the type for tents, like the one on my extraction fan.

 

[Old G]

It’s hepa carbon filter , these plants stink

Ahh. I see. I've never used one like that. I don't know how well it will work out in the open. Is there any possibility of getting a tent? If money is tight you might be able to get one second hand or something.

 

[Old G]

Do tents keep the smell in

Do tents keep the smell in

I had 2 6" fans hooked to 6" carbon running 24/7 inside my 2 flower rooms.
Both venting directly outside.
So no I would not count on your tent hiding any smell whatsoever.
Sorry my friend.

Stay safe
Bill

 

[Melville Hobbes]

With negative pressure like what I have going, and a carbon filter on the intake inside the tent it reduces the smell a lot. When I have the fan going none of the people I have over can smell it, even though it stinks up the house when the fan is off.
It can get kind of expensive though. You have the cost of the tent, the fans, and the filter.

Have you searched the older threads on here? Maybe someone has posted an answer you can adapt to your situation.

Thanks Bill, this air purifier is working good. It’s a hepa carbon filter I put it in front of the plants and it reduces the smell enough. I’m used to it but these plants stink. It’s skunk it’s supposed to smell sweet soon I hope , the skunk smell stinks

Looks like a great unit.
I'm glad it's doing what you need.
My tent didn't hold any smell in.
I didn't mind.
