Plastek's Perpetual Shark Tank

[PlastekShark]

Also, tried to get some close-up trich pictures. Hard while holding a loupe to my phone...

 

[InTheShed]

Hard to tell what trichomes look like even in the sharpest pics unless it's white light. The purple makes it too tough to tell clear from amber. I like the pic as art though!

 

[PlastekShark]

Yeah, I first checked them under nice white light. About 50/50 cloudy and clear. Getting there!!

The blurple looked cool

[Pterostychus]

She started stretching out a couple days ago

wot ? she stopped stretching recently

 

[PlastekShark]

I mean, yours seemed to stretch just before she entered flower. At least I thought that's what I read...lolol

 

[Pterostychus]

actually accalerated growth kicks in when she matures (preflowers) it ends normally about two weeks after flower started

Afghan Kush Ryder ..my first successful grow!

 

[PlastekShark]

Goodbye, super blurple. Hello, whiter and more beautiful light!

The plants looks SO much nicer under this light. I'm pumped!

Coming soon: carbon filter exhaust.

 

[InTheShed]

Just in time to build some bulk!

 

[PlastekShark]

Just in time to build some bulk!

Yeah! Kind of worried though. Light brings the temp up to about 30c is that going to be too hot?

 

[InTheShed]

Getting up there. Can you crank the exhaust fan?

 

[PlastekShark]

Only fan I currently have to use for that I positioned near an open exhaust port to help get cooler air inside. I just opened a vent at the top of the tent as well. Didn't want to really, trying to keep smell down to be respectful lol.

 

[InTheShed]

You are doing smell containment by keeping the tent closed except for a fan blowing in? So there is no air actually circulating through the tent then. Hmm...normally you would have one intake and one exhaust open.

 

[PlastekShark]

Yeah, I have a top vent open for the hot air to escape. Just opened it.

I can contain properly once I get my exhaust fan. 4" 203 CFM. Just waiting for the free cash to get it. Until then, all I can use is a small fan to help bring in fresh air, and open the top vent to allow the hot air to naturally rise out. Just wasn't what I wanted to do for smell concerns

 

[InTheShed]

Understood. Only other option is to turn down the light I would think.

 

[PlastekShark]

Yeah, no dimmer.

It's been on all day so I think 30 might be there max. I'm about to check temp again now that I opened the top vent.

 

[PlastekShark]

Got it down to 28.7c by opening the top

 

[PlastekShark]

Also, when I do get the exhaust fan, should the fan be in or outside the tent? Or is it just preference/room needs?

NL seedling looks sad. Moved her away from being directly under the light. It's only about 30 inches away. Black Diamond recommended 36 inches. Hoping she's just light stressed?
