We already dicussed lights.

Tent looks fine and seems you got most covered, I don't know a lot about hydro so that's for someone else to answer.

When heat and humidity is an issue maybe look at getting automated environment control, not sure but I think you need a bit more powerful exhaust fan.

You don't need a hygrometer for curing, just burp jars for 30 minutes a day for 14 days and then add humidipacks

One thing missing though.... SEEDS what type of strains are you looking for?

Hmm the reason I added a hygrometer is because humidity here is kind of high right now I am looking at 25.3c at 76% RH.... I don't even think I need the humidipacks anymore since they add humidity and not take away...

In terms of seeds I want a variety of HIGH THC, High yield and low flowering times haha but every bank has different opinions.....

The humidipaks are 2-way, both up and down, and the humidity in the jar comes from the material in the jar and not the sorrounding environment.

Don't listen to the seed banks, listen to the growers

I highly recommend THC Bomb, Northern Lights and Sugar Black Rose for anybody, but especially beginners

Nice yeah was thinking about THC bomb and northern lights as well been a dream of mine to smoke that since college.... First time I heard of Sugar Black Rose

Sugar Black Rose is (Black Domina x Critical Mass) very easy to grow and very potent

I will add that to my list I live in a tropical country btw if that makes a difference for indoor.

Not strain wise, but you have to control the heat in the tent so it stays in the 22°C - 28°C range during lights on and 18°C - 28°C during lights out, this is the optimal range so don't panic if the thermometer shows 30° on very hot days.
Running the lights at night might be a good idea, but it does mean that you can only tend to the plants at night during the flowering cycle, but that's 12 hours anyway so plenty of time for sleep and gardening
It's all about getting a good exhaust fan, circulation fan and maybe a dehumidifier, but for some people living in hot areas it's necessary to use A/C.

If the temperature rarely goes under 22°C you will see less plants get ''autumn'' colours like red, purple and blue, but that's just visual and some phenotypes will genetically become colourful so you won't miss out on getting some purple bud once in a while

Thank you bro what do you think about the 3 high times top THC strains Godfather OG 34% Super glue 32% Strawberry Bananana 31% are these easy to grow?

 

[PurpleGunRack]

I've only grown Strawberry Banana and it's not a high yielder and there's a big genetic difference within the strain and some plants will be crap, it is however one of the most potent strains I've tried.

The ones you see on high times are from elite clones and may not be available in seed form, but there's the Corleone Kusk and Gorilla Glue #4(or Locktite if you can find it) which should be close to the first 2.


If you want to get into elite genetics(almost never high yielders!) look at In House Genetics, they breed some serious fire.

These sites are good for inspiration, but hardly worthwhile ordering from outside the US, but some of the seeds are available from big seed banks like Attitude and Seed City:

Annunaki Genetics
Sour Patch Seeds
Neptune Seeds
