Too clear up a lot of miss information that Ive seen in this thread i will first start with light leaks. Light leaks will destroy a crop, anyone who says otherwise either hasn't grown before, is full of verbal diarrhea or both. Light leaks over an extended period during flowering will result in low yields and or cause the plant will herm... there is to much info out there if you care to look that backs this. If a female marijuana plant isn't pollinated and left long enough after its flowering cycle has complete she will herm naturally out of self preservation, its natures way of keeping the plants survival. Yes fox-tailing small yields stretching ect.... is a side effect of heat stress but these symptoms are also a side effect of light leaks . Now for those who still want to argue this.. simply put if light leaks were ok to have then the tents you buy would have light leaks.. but they don't they are made so they don't allow light to enter the tent when lights are off.

Now for the temp of a grow room. The temp will depend on where you are and what strain you are growing but most indoor setups should run room temp when lights are on at around 28 degrees celsius which is 82 degrees fahrenheit and no lower then 18 degrees celsius which is around 60 degrees fahrenheit when the lights are off, (my math when working out celsius to fahrenheit may be alittle off where im from we use celsius). Either way no more then 28 during lights on no less then 18 when lights are off.

Lighting periods. In my setup and i run 11/13 which is 11 on 13 off and my indica loves its (i grow a strain Ive breed myself so for me this is optimal) other strains prefer a 12/12 cycle where some sativa strains before a longer night cycle of 10/14... 10 hours of light 14 hours of dark.

When it comes to growing everyone has an opinion which is fine.. some opinions make sense others don't it is up to the person to decide what is what... just remember opinions are like assholes, everyone has them... and a lot of people talk shit.

OP. I like the set up and an update on how it went would be great. You seem to know what you are doing, grow in peace.

I stopped wet trimming long ago, works out better for me and finished product.;-)

Dimelo... Nice run, you should have hit 2 per 1000w tho. Do you think genetics or something else, or estoy loco y hablando mierda? A few more plants like 9 per 5'x5' - 6'x6' in 3-5 gallon bags, less veg as well obviously, add some mollases to your feed..and in the last quarter leg of flowering drop those night temps. You'll add weight and get an extra cut a year.

You can reuse peat based mixes even if they are fed with salt based nutes. There are enzyme products for that, the mollases will keep it all alive in there they will aid the decomposition of dead plant matter. You could also cut your mix with a mushroom based compost. Mycelium is a great thing to have in your medium. I've never had a problem running 3part, either traditionally or Lucas, but I'm all about FloraNova and a few extras, like enzymes, and molasses.. whatever just my two cents. Keep on winning bruh

I was supposed to flower for 10 weeks but it ended short because of the bud rot and mold problem, there were a lot of buds that had calyxs that still wanted to swell up like a mother fucker, but I couldn't get the humidity under 75%, and when the lights were out the humidity was 99%.

So it was either harvest now or lose it all, and it was better to just cut my losses or greed would've caused a complete loss.

I need to get one of those commercial sized dehumidifiers.

I've been looking into the "Quest" dehumidifiers and I think I'm just gonna go ahead and buy one of those, they got good reviews.

Cali connection? Why? Maybe you'll get lucky.... Should of done a search on genetics first. Go to the seed section and you'll find nothing but fire.

I was highly recommended to try them out, so I said "what the hell".

If it's not good on the first run then I'll just look for some other form of sour diesel elsewhere.

But everybody is wanting that sour diesel lately, it's a top seller around here, so I just went with Cali Connection since their seed is supposed to be derived from AJ's original cut.

But we'll see how it turns out.

What Sour Diesel seed would you recommend, what breeder?

Hso Amherst sour diesel is awesome, got a great yield too and a buddy grew green thumbs sour d that was great as well! Apparently green thumbs and loud seeds sour d are identical to the aj cut.....never saw aj's cut so I wouldn't know.
If u want pure fire with bag appeal look into BOG's sour double and sour bubble.
Lots on IG.

It's been a while since I checked back with you man. You did pretty well. I use to have the same setup but found Coco on drippers were the way to go IMO.

Also, I know it's alot of work but i hand trim the colas and machine trim the budlets. Only the colas keep the real dank smell but after mixing you can't tell.

I would replace those bulbs too lol.

Stay with one salesman.

Maybe try the Coco and drippers.

Goodluck.

I remember your setup: I think we were doing a lot of building at the same time last year. You've been on the rocks for sure so I hope its all good for you.

Don't like throwing shade but I gotta say i've been disappointed with Cali Connection also. I had their Larry OG running for 5/6 runs and its definitely not OG and made sales v.difficult until I changed up the name. Some decent green for sure but definitely not as labelled: proper OG fans cannot be fooled!

I wouldn't buy Cali Connection again. There are so many quality breeders out there.
