working on getting some better pics up today. the girls are on week #9 and doing good. i added 4 2700k cfl bulbs on the side to get under the thick canopy on two of em. flushed the rez and added fresh nutes. picking up a wireless digital thermometer and humidty today. and also a rez heater and a better air heater. theyre in my basement so i gets down to im guessin 40-50 degrees at night with the lights off.

40 would be a little low. I've got a spacer heater set on a low setting. Keeps things around 54 or so.

 

[Easily Amused]

ya 40 is low. im getting the thermometer so i can make sure. i have a small space heater down there but im not sure when it kicks on and off. its ghetto. im guna get one the i can set the temp and know exactly what temp its keeping it at. so much to learn, i think my head is going to explode with all the info ive been soaking up!

yeah i know it sucks...it's just part of being a grower...if it's only on two then don't let them touch each other...keep your temps up at night and if you want to make a solution of lemon juice and water 50/50 and spray it on the infected leaves do that about every three days till harvest...but believe me that shit can spread in no time....i'll be here if you need me for more info...peace and try not to stress on it.

 

[Easily Amused]

thx gb3000. ill be sure to get some lemon juice and give that a try. and the new heater is keeping things around 58 all night. i appreciate the input. time to pack a super bowl for the super bowl!

 

[glassblower3000]

been a week or two since i updated so here we go! were at week 11. did a rez flush today and added fresh nutes. and started with fox farms beastie bloom. going to run that for a week and then ff cha-ching up untill a week before harvest! also made a co2 thing with yeast and sugar. will see if that helps. cant hurt em right new heaters keepin things between 53-66f hum 40-55 depending on the weather that day. chemdogz are goin shit balls budding everywhere. guna have 5-6 fat colas on each. purps r gettin fucking purple and la cons are sticky an stanky as fuck. going to be super gooey. well thats the update hope every one is as loaded as i am right now time pics!!!

update on the powder mildew i was having. used 1 qt water + 1 teaspoon baking soda and 2 drops liquid soap. in a spray bottle. hit all the problem areas a few days ago. mostly towards the bottom of the plants that dont get much circulation. also added an oscilating fan at the base of plants to improve air flow. seems to be helping sofar no pm has grow back!!
