Whats up everyone, hope your grow is going good! Mine is holding its own. Just a quick update of what I've been doing. I transplanted the ladies into 5 gallon pots, everything went well except for the last on. When I was preparing to slide her in, the root ball started to fall a part and some roots got mangled. This morning when the light came on I went to check on the tent and she was limp. I just went and took some pictures for this update, and honestly she is looking better now then she did 4 hours ago.
So I am going to be keeping a close eye on this one. Here are the ladies in there new homes.
My grow room is small, roughly 11 x 8 1/2, and in the area where I got a temporary work table it gets warm to me when trying to get stuff done. No real air movement outside of the tents, so I did a small upgrade for myself.
I placed it high facing down and it works like a charm. I could turn the ac in the room on but don't want too unless I have too. Plus it gets pretty cold standing next to it.

Here is an update for ya......
So yesterday I was sitting here thinking about my plants. First grow was auto's, and this second grow (current) are photos, and was thinking about the different growth rates. My autos grew like all get out. These have seem to be taking their time and I was sitting at my desk in my home office and started going over things in my head. I was doing a few dabs throughout the morning, drinking some beer, I work third shift by the way. Started running down the list.
My thoughts......
Maybe this is the difference between autos and photos?
Am I watering them to much?
Maybe its the nutes I am using, I am still new to this NFTG?
Hell I am new to all this still?
Maybe the seeds were bum? But two different breeders?
Why aren't they reaching for the light like they did when growing autos?
Maybe the light is too strong for them right now? Yes I've vegged them since seeds under this light, just wanted to do it once. LOL.
Maybe the light is too far away? Maybe I should lower it?
Then it hit me, and I started to laugh my ass off. My girlfriend came to the door way to see whats going on.
I never turned up the fucking light! According to Timber its dimmable down to 10%, I am sure thats accurate so I was roughly seeing 95 watts all this time. So after the laughing stopped I did another dab, grabbed another beer and opened the tent and twisted the little black nob some. Last night when getting ready for work I checked on them, they had their high heels on and were dancing to the disco light. Standing tall and proud! I only got it turned to about 1/4, don't what to shock them going to raise it slowly.
Thats my story, I am an idiot!

Okay so yesterday I gave the light another bump, and they didn't like it. Did that in the late morning and when I got up last night for work and checked on them, the girls were having a taco party. I noticed the tent temp was 84. Lately I have been running passive air in and have been holding around 75 degrees. So I turned the light down a tad, and turn the intake fan on low. This morning things look decent.
Everything seems good. Giving them a tea day tomorrow and the upping the feed a bit the next.
@RainDan I checked out the Instagram deal last night, very cool. Seems like people are digging it.
Edit- I should have added that the temps outside are a bit high for this time of year.

Steady as she goes , you're on the path to happiness youve got a lot of light there usually takes mine a week or so to acclimate to the intensity I have no dimmer on my cobs , if I had it to do it over I would be running the 4 cob timber in my 3x3 rain Dan is the man I'm saving for the 4-cob vero that fits my 3x3 now

@horribleherk Your talking about the Timber 4VS, very nice fixture. I currently have my eye on a 3VL, will probably pick that up within the next couple months. I was trying to acclimate them with the bumps in light, like I said they didn't like the second bump. Right now they are doing fine and are pretty much back to normal, temps are back to normal also.
