Im keeping an eye the temps. They are getting high. Hasn't hit 100 yet but I have caught it at 90 and had to put the A/C in the opening of the tent.

Oh yeah I know. I am trying to keep it at no higher than 85F. It just sucks cuz when I have to turn on my ac I have to keep my tent open. I need to duct it into the tent somehow.

This would be easy if I just cover the spot where the a/c pumps out air then make it taper down into a 4inch duct. Not hard but that is probably going to cost 50$ that is kinda rediculis for those materials.
The other problem is that I was running my ac before with the floro bank and the 600watter and my electric bill went through the roof!! An air conditioner will suck down way more power than a HID.

I think I got it down, I am just gonna be running the a/c from like 11 to 6ish. I gotta get it down perfect and put it on a timer or get the dough to put a temp gague in there and have it work the a/c.

They are totally loving the new light. It has been on 24hrs a day now for 2 days or so. No signs of plant stress.

I am suspecting that I will have to be doing another 2 weeks of veg to get the results I want, making it 2 months from when the seed was germinated. Basically once the bushy ones reach 2 feet it is on. I think I am going to leave the lil short ones in veg for as long as they need. I will be pulling the makes and filling the spots to make 9 total in flowering under the 600watt.
I am pretty sure I will be flowering Dabney Blueberry, Snowcap and Pure Kush as well, maybe GPD too depending on how many of these things turn out to be boys. The other plants that I flower besides the WC will be a test for my next grow to see what strain suits my needs the best. I am just worried about keeping an even canopy, but this should be no problem cuz there is enough room and I ll just bend and tie them down. Lookin good:eyesmoke:

Sweet my clones are looking good. I took a couple of Snowcap clones a couple of days before I took some WC clones and the Snowcaps just started to show roots out of the bottom. Still waiting for the OG to root but if this is any sign the first WC's that I took should be popping out roots real soon.

I took some clones of another one last night too. So 3 of the ones that I am pretty sure are female have 3 or 4 clones each made of them. Hoping at least one of each will root but I have been having pretty good rooting rates, it just takes a little while for some strains.

The flower room is doing great. Today is a little cooler outside so it is at 78degrees in the room. That is perfect for me. Hope to keep it that way without running the a/c 24/7!!

Even the little weaker looking ones don't look like that anymore. They all have broad dark leafs! It is sweet too see all that variation in the plants, no 2 are the same but they look similar and you can tell that they are all from the same family.

Are you planning on keeping the plants staked? Do you have fans in that room because that would help the stalks to thicken up. Using the stakes until the root system can support the plant is good then are you going to set them free?

Well I used the stakes in there because some were groing crooked. I see the disadvantage in the fact that the fans cant blow em and strengthen them. I don't know they seem pretty strong.

I actually do not have fans in there right now. They are on the 'to get' list. I am thinking about getting some ocilating ones and attatching them to the celing grid somehow. I do see this as a priority with the heat and all.

I will set them free if I see fit. Im thinking they will grow past the stake pretty soon so it will have done its job. The plants were already a little off from the center of the pots so I wanted to make them straighter.

I plan to lollipop these plants too. So I will be cutting off all the lower branches and making clones before I flower in 2 weeks. I plan to trim till there is one main cloa and like 5-7 little ones. I will be taking off 1/3 of the plant from the bottom pretty soon.

I was also thinking if I have 8 colas I may have to use the stakes to hold the brances up it the buds get big. They seem to get a lot bigger when plants are lollied.

Yea thats the idea to make the remaining growths fat by removing the lower branches. How can you get away without fans? Doesnt it get hot in there?

wots the distance between the bulb and the tops? init too far??

Right now it is kind of far. Like a ffot and a half. This should be fine for light pennatration standards. It could be closer. Especally with the air cool light reflector running but I figure that by the time I flower them they will be a lot closer and as they flower I expect to have to move the light up.

I would move the light a little close but I fear shock and the ducting really wouldnt reach down that far...

I do have the ar conitioner running quite a bit. I should def. get some moving fans yet. Do you think it would help get the temp lower or do fans just usually just move that air around. How much should I expect the temp to drop with fans in there? Should I run out and get some now?
