It's raining again.And my RH in my tent is 58%-60% in the tent.
Got the de-humidifier running and 1 large damp rid and 3 small damp rids in the tent.
I Fcking going crazy,i don't want my baby to get all screwed up from being to damp.
Calm down Mind, take a toke, inhale and exhale. Make sure you have good airflow on your baby and that should help prevent mold/bud rot.

No,Do not use it.Mercury vapor is crap and will do little for ya.Except eat up energy.
What Mind said for both questions lol.

Oh yeah and Mind I talked to the girl and she said that FL did a 25% flat across the board (Not seasonal) increase on electric about 6 months ago. That could explain the spike in cost maybe?

I have taken lots of tokes today.
Got lots of air moving,It just freaks me out when i can not control stuff....lol

Thanks Doobs,I also think the ac unit is on its last leg.

I hear you on the control aspect, I know how it is to want everything perfect, it's ok Mind and it'll be ok.

No problem Mind always here to try to help out, that sucks that your AC is crappin' on you man.

I use Foxfarm, both tri-packs. Also thinking of adding some Humboldt to the mix when I get some extra cash. I've gotten great results with just the base tri pack from FF, but when you add the solulable tri pack too it works wonders. Also Humboldt products added w/ a FF regiment works well too.

So now for my question for you, I've gotten hydro before but not in awhile. I usually re-up with my soil grower friends. Anyway this bud came from elsewhere and is spongey, the stems snap but the bud itself is spongey. Like you can compress the hell out of it, leave it somewhere and it expands back out again, like a sponge lol. I think the strain is either diesel or trainwreck. It's pretty killer smoke, the flavor/smell is a little watered down, very little but eh. My question is, does hydro usually get that way? I mean I've had hydro before but it was extra crispy so it crumbled and shit, but this is spongey?

I'm pretty stoned off my ass right now lol, so pretty damn nice.

The smell and taste is there, it's just not as pungent or full of flavor like the soil herb I get usually. Still real close though, the high is killer as hell too dude.

Having kind of a hard time typing and making sense right about now.... lol.

Edit: I forgot to add this lol, but I was thinking the other day about fishing and blah blah. Then it dawned on me, oldschool minnow bucket diy carbon filter. That would make it re-usable, easy to obtain and easy to change out. What do you think?

Doobs,
Ever had to do this before!!

Lol yeah the oldschool one's with the two metal parts. The inner bucket with holes and the outer solid bucket. I was thinking about fishing and old times, the minnow bucket came up and the light went off in my head lol. I'm thinking drill a hole on the bottom of the outer bucket for the fan/ducting, line the inside of the outer bucket with carbon filter sheets, and putting activated carbon bits in the inside bucket. Sounds like it would work but I gotta see lol, still working some stuff out with the design.

I've never had to do an emergency flush before, I hope I never will lol, but that's definitely some great reading if I ever do need to, thanks Mind.

Just got finished with a recent grow.

Is 1 ounce 10 grams a decent dry weight for 250 watt soil grow? I was expecting more, and was wondering what others here have gotten with their 250watters.

The smoke is great, I was just hoping for more of it I guess. I usually hear the 2-3 ounce mark per plant tossed around. Is that realistic for a 250 watt?

Thanks.

Depends on the strain,how long you vegged for and alot of diffirent factors.
How big was your plant.My last grow which was 2 snow whites that where around 2 1/2 feet tall.
I got 6 1/2 ounces off the 2 plants.

Hey team,

Im on my 5th week of flowering my ladies. Im going to introduce molasses to get my buds to start to bulking up. Can anyone tell me the best way to mix it in with my water? Ive read it before but i cant find the thread where i saw it. I think its like half hot water + half cold water. But not sure. Thanks

I only vegged mine for 2 weeks and then straight under the HPS.I was using holland secret nutes,I think they where part of the reason i got so much.And early on before flowering i cut all the under groth off.About 1/3 of the entire plants where bare,all energy and food source was focuseed all on the main colas.

Soil grow. Strain is Purple Kush i think. Also have White Widow x Mako Haze. The buds are incredibly frosty already but not as bulky as i would like them to be. Im using FF nutes. I know they will pack on alot of weight in the last few weeks of flowering. But from what i understand its good to start feeding molasses at this stage

then what size pots did you use? and all you used was a 250?
