well to start with ur temps r alittle high. i run about 86-88 at canopy day, night about 70 ish this gives them time to re coupe. and i kept my rh at pot height at about 65-75% in veg and flower it should be between 40-60% mines usually 45% day, 55% night but i think im gonna start trying to keep it at 40% as the buds swell so i dont have mold issues. im not pos (im still new too) but i dont think u should be introducing (misting) any extra water during flower because mold. i pull about 10 gal a day from my room through a dehumidifier at about day 13 of flower and by harvest ill prob be pulling just at or over a gal per plant. (theoretically) im not super informed on the streaching part but my grow shop guy is awesome and he helped me build a system that allows me to have my lights very close to my canopy(12-16'' and my 3000w stay cold to the touch after 12 hrs) so i havent really noticed much streach just max. penitration through the canopys. r u rinning a sealed hood? do u have an in-line fan drawing air out?
Ok well i got the temps down a few days ago, had to heighten hps, so they are stretching now, and to be honest they have grown lots of nodes in a very small height lol, got temps to 82F through the day & 70F through the night, also i've added a big plastic container with lots of water in it placed it just after the fan so it can evaporate into the tent nicely and i've added a wet towel on the outside of the door way hanging half way down, got fan big fan outside and a small fan under the hps to blow the heat out the tent, good air circulation really, so by doing all this now, my humidity is just about 35%-40%, has been 20% all way through grow, you get me? thats been the problem :( but corrected now:-| feel so stupid i really think i fucked the only time when they grow wk 1 through wk 3, onyx maybe a near miss as they are starting to get much much bigger...

hey man heres what i do and it DRAMATICALLY changes humidity....i cut plywood and make a box around all ur plants, line w/ tinfoil, then put painters plastic over it (creating a big humidity dome, greenhouse effect). i have humidity probs in the room i run for flower (def building a veg room in the very near future) but i have alot more space to control....this may or may not work for u in ur set up but it gave me about 40% boost in my humidity. good luck man

Day 39 - Growing tall! well some:roll: lol

Ok so here is 2 pictures from day 39, lowryders are doing ok small but the nugs are so hard atm so thumbs up for that.. 2 other lowryders are tall as fuck loving their sativa dom:mrgreen: The onyxs are really starting to take off! thank fuck for that:twisted:

The other non autos are doing ok, will find out the sex of them in 2wks or so, going to 12/12, take them out and put them in a cupboard for 12 hrs then back in the tent.. :lol:

The 2 freaks will be coming out on Monday.. no point with them at all.. will let them grow out, outside somewhere nice & quite;-)

This grow consists of problems from day 1 to day 30, everything should be top notch now... for the onyx that is:mrgreen:

Update tonight or tomorrow..

We have took out the 2 freaks and killed them.. as we found out by the roots.. we had stunned them when we transplanted.. back on Day 15.

Hopefully by the end of week 8, 5 small lowryders should be ready too chop.. the other 2 sativa lowryders will take the same time as the onyx 13wks.

We are going to transplant the 5 onyx 2 lowryders & the 2 none autos when the 5 small lowryders have been harvested... bigger pots mean bigger yield.

Everything seem ok atm anyway.

Anyone interested, i know its a journal but some feed back would be nice especially now that I've corrected lots of problems...

I think their looking 60% better...

Just caught up. Looking forward to the endgame. Interesting grow. I've thought about trying a mini-SoG myself. I have a 3'x3' tent though, seemed tight. It's not the route I've chosen for my next grow, but it seems like you're doing quite well. Best of luck, def subscribed.

Thanks Kriznarf,
I'm really trying my best on this 1 now... going to transplant into bigger pots on Saturday 5 onyx's & 2 none autos... 2 sativa lowryders i just don't wanna risk shocking them so i'm not bothering with the transplant for them..

The onyx's are showing root bound problems already so I'm transplanting sooner see...

Hope they get bigger...

Day 51 (Ozone Generator)

390-120-large.jpg

Had to buy something to get rid of the strong flowering smell as we have an open tent and no carbon filter etc etc so it reeks all over the place! it's such a strong skunky smell from the 5lows that are 2wks away from harvest:-P

Speak soon peepz
