First Closet CFL Grow

[Enigma]

hey engima!! my temp starts out at 71 usually when the lights go on, and as the day progresses the Max it has ever gotten to is 84.7. The humidity is around 20%-41%. The leaves also partially look that way because the fan is on High X's 2!

Ahh.. it is the temps.. bring em down a bit.. the humidity looks good for flowering. Personally, I like a little higher humidity for veg than flower.. a lower RH produces more resin!

I see people talking about RH but what does RH stand for?

 

[t0k3s]

How much ventilation do you have in there as your leaves look heat stressed.but the plants look good though.

I mean my guess is:
Relative Humidity

Looking Good T, bring on the bud prOn eh?

Will moving the liight up help, or am I going to have to get an inline fan?

I have 1 pc fan blowing air in, one pc fan blowing air out. I have 1 120mm blowing air in my HPS, and one 120mm blowing air out into an airduct, the airducts is leading outside of my room with another pc fan at the end of the duct helping blow air out. If you want to see a better look at the whole OP you can watch the video on Page 29 https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/58163-first-closet-cfl-grow-29.html

Muahah bow chicka bow wow

Update Day 27 Flowering/66 Days from Veg

Nutes in Resevoir:
Haven't had to change water yet. Only one plant and 5 gallons should last me another week.

PH/PPM
5.7/1500

Temp/Humidity
71.3/29%
Max-91.4/42%
Min-63.4/20%

Plant Height
3.4' with LST

Raised Light
7" inch.


The temperature is staying stready now for the most part. Raising the lights added much help to the heat problem. I also tied a string around my duct and stapled it onto the wall. The duct is higher in the air and heat can get out easier now.

The plants are now about 18" away from the light and is much cooler at the tops of the plants. Hopefully the leaf spikes will go down now.

Here are a few pictures of my work this morning. Hope you enjoy!!

damn shes turned into a huge ass BEAST!
and yeah get that heat down man. Its the #1 factor in bringing down the yield.

and im sure that they are, much more so than you think anyways.

Thanks bro, I would really try to get temps down as much as you can, I've never heard of high temps as a good thing in flowering.

Yeah I feel as if I should have bigger buds then I do at this point of flowering. I dont know a very good way of getting cool air in. I guess I'll have to rig up a couple more PC fans to blow air in. What should be the ideal Temperature for flowering? Min and Max?

 

[gangjababy]

put a fan on top of that canopy and lower that light!!, My air cooled 400 hps is 3 inches from the top of the plants with a fan constantly blowing on them, there is no sign of heat damage!

canopy? I dont have a canopy, the title is First Closet CFL grow .
and 3" away from the light!?!? I dont think I could do that with my light, when my hand is 3" away I get a suntan and it burns! I'm only using PC fans to cool my light, so it's not much power. In the next few weeks I should have enough money to get proper cooling for the light.

What should be the ideal Temperature for flowering? Min and Max?

A humidity and temperature gauge are essential in any growroom. Daytime conditions should be 70-80 degrees without co2, 80-90 degrees with co2 until the last two weeks when daytime temps should be kept between 70-80 and co2 can be reduced to adjust for the lower metabolism. Night temperatures should be kept above 60 degrees to prevent stress. It is preferrable during flowering to have a night temperature drop of 10-20 degrees to stimulate flowering hormones and reduce stem elongation.

I find that low humidity causes stress on plants. I recommend 50-60% humidity until the final 2 weeks of flowering. At this point, the humidity should be lowered as much as possible to encourage the plant to seal and protect itself with additional resin. (I am able to get the humidity to go as low as 31%) I have been able to frost things up considerably this way. The higher humidity levels prior to final ripening reduce salt levels within the plant tissue and encourage healthy, more lush growth.

Thats what the grow FAQ says.

hehe thanks alto, guess I should of looked there

right now the lights been on for a few hours, and has been at a steady temp of 75.9 for the last 2 hours. My humidity is 29% right now but usually doesn't get to about 41% til near the lights go off.

I can fill a container full of water and stick it in the grow op to get the humidity up. I thought high humidity was for vegetative and low humidity for flowering.

Well whoever wrote that said Low RH for the "last 2 weeks" to "frost her up"
and that higher RH% before that would help flush salts (or prevent build up)

Does not seem to me your temps are way high or anything, maybe get a bit "cooler" at night if you can, so she thinks fall is on it way lol.

Looking amazing mate, cant wait for some good crystal shots!!!

keep the humidity high until you are trying to pull every last crystal that you can outta your plants right before the chop.

and may i ask how far along your beast is into flowering? she looks to be about 2 weeks in my opinion...if shes much farther than that then you defiantly need to get that heat outta there.

tomorrow will be the start of week 4. i was wondering if she was supposed to be this under developed this far into flowering. Something was seeming right.

I dont know how I'm going to get the heat out of there. I'm on my lunch and looked at the temp and its at 79.2 with 29% humidity. I put a gallon of water in a milk jug and another glass that was for my blender and filled it up with water. I put it in my op a few hours ago, and still no humidity changes. Whats a good way to get my humidity from 20% to 50-60%.

I need a better way of getting heat out of this grow op, but I'm not to sure what else I can do, without spending a lot of money.

if your grow room is around a place that's a bit cooler out side of that room just open the door and have a fan that moves the air out of the room

 

[toolage]

that's what I'm doing right now, but I'm going to need a decent way of keeping it cool constantly incase I'm not here. I want it to stay around a steady temp of 72 and around 64 at night.
