    Vent problems since carbon refill

    Recently changed the carbon in a 1-year-old carbon scrubber. Now the pressure of the exhausted air is very low. Before I changed the carbon, there was a negative pressure in the tent. Now the air coming out of the exhaust feels aobut that of a bad muffin fan. A little bit of air is being...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    I peeped in on them this morning, seemed ok...a little nervous myself, but will flush at the first sign of trouble. How are your kids doing? Updates?

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Plants got their first fert feeding last night. 2 tbl/g Big Bloom & 2 tsp/g Grow Big (I hope) with ph'd water. The next watering will probably be a flush. No nute burn signs, will keep an eye out (small chance I mismeasured Grow Big and did tablespoons, not teaspoons...) High mistake...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Started LST'ing three of the plants, we'll see how it goes - you can check out the pics below. Just used some tacks and pipe cleaners for tie downs. See any problems, let me know! Still haven't watered yet with ferts, probably a day or two more. Soil still just a tad moist. As you can...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Get this shit - mis-id'd the mites, they are thrips. Reading up, seems like less of a problem than mites, still dangerous. You can see these guys with the naked eye, they look like yellow/brown pencil lead. I killed all I could see...made a mixture of neem oil / mild dish soap / and warm...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Looking great legasaurs, what week are you at? Is that an aeroponic system you're running? Plants look very similar, your internode spacing seems a little tighter which is a plus for you. I've noticed that the Super Skunk's leaves fold inwards a bit in a way that the Maple Leaf was much more...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    To be specific, it was about 100g average between the three. If you look at the pics towards the end of the grow (first post) you'll see one of the plants is about twice the size of the other two (in the photo, the tall lady is about four weeks into flowering, imagine her swelling up...) The...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Spider Mites for that ass! Sucks. I didn't experience this at all last grow - probably due to the fact it was winter. I saw some speckles on two of the plants, not a whole lot, but enough. Investigated and found some mites. I cleaned the plants with mild dish soap and water, rinsed them...

    Homebox / Filter Questions

    https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/101157-real-grow-i-made-up.html check out my grow journal for pics of how I setup the homebox. Should explain any questions about the regular sized tent.

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Skipped a few days in the grow journal, plants were basically holding steady, no real news to reports. Figured I would wait a few days until the pictures made a difference. So, Day 11 - watered again with the plain water, no nutes until after this week. I'll start off with a really light...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Gave the young 'uns some water today. I probably should measure the amount I am giving them, keep track, but I just use common sense. Plants seem to let you know what they need and when they need it. Runt still growing...deformed as ever. Third leaf set just starting to form on a few plants...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    My ph method is pretty budget...Just some up/down drops and a little sample tube where I can tell the result by color (after adding some other drops.) I think this is the cheapest/most widely available method. Worked for me, but I didn't have sensitive plants.

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Plants seem to be doing great, minus one sort of Corky-runt. This is the one that was slow going from Day One - it finally started getting second leaf set today. Problem is...it's a little deformed. Not a little, a lot. I assume it is just a 'birth defect' if you will. I'll keep it alive...

    I would think it should be fine as long as you are ph'ing you solution AFTER you add EVERTHING into the mix. The molasses shouldn't interfere with your flowering nutes, but anyone can feel free to contradict this.

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Totally forgot to mention it in the first post, but I did use molasses once I was into flowering. Just heated up some water, diluted the molasses into that (too thick otherwise), dumped it in with my nute solution, plants loved it and it makes the solution smell nice, even though there is shit...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Thanks! Yeah, I'm hoping this one works out well. Your plants are going to eat up that HPS, really watch for those things to fatten up! The inline fan was about $40 w/shipping on ebay. I think it retails right around $130-150? Ebay and craigslist will have all kinds of building supplies...

    85 on the temps? I've heard some folks say 90, some mid 80's...Seems to hit 85 right around the middle of the day, fan blowing on them constantly, the heat will go away soon enough I think. The growth pace seems alright, I honestly don't think it is 85 where the plants are, I will put the...

    Temp dropped today, low around 73 in the grow room, high was 89. Humidity between 45-60. Watered plants with ph'd water today. I use the pick up the bucket and feel the weight method, although I have a moisture meter for those cloudly days where the memory just isn't happening. Moved...

    A Real Grow that I Made Up: Super Skunk

    Temps holding right around 83. Yesterday almost hit 90, a little iffy about that number, I had the thermometer pretty close to the lights, moved it - temp readings are much more stable. Humidty right around 50. Shitty little clip on fan busted so I grabbed a standard table oscillating fan...
