AH yep cool that makes sense! I try and stay between 26-28 degrees C but sometimes (In the heat of summer) they push up to 30 degrees but i don't usually get above that, i suppose with increased humidity the heat can be slightly less of a problem.

EXACTLY plants heat stress symptoms are really just increased transpiration without recourse. Increased RH or Co2 levels curb the increased transpiration symptoms. Someone correct me if Im wrong :) ~S0uP

Finally put some seeds in the starters. I guess now I need to finish my space age FlowaMasta hempy system :)

Awesome work Mo!!! Can't wait to have your thread to follow :)

Correct :) to a degree, all things in moderation, I only do this for a short while to increase growth rates while i have the extra lamp in there. If it gets a little cramped in there, transpiration can lead to issues if there is moisture left behind to run down leaves or pool in crevices of nodes or such... but early on in flower you can get away with around 40% humidity and not have too much sweating as long as the fans are brushing all surfaces of leaves and there is nothing binding or stuck preventing leaves from moving freely. If it gets too hot like 33-35 and above i would expect burnt spots on leaves in high light spots and maybe even some leaf curling, which with a keen eye you can see on 4 or 5 of my back corner tops... That back lamp gets hot compared to a cooling hood!


  • Amazing setup, one day ill grow the balls and attempt it but until then im sticking with pro-mix.​





lol, go on man, its easier than pro-mix..... i don't even know what that is and i can tell you that ;)

Spot on Soup :) C02 levels are barely an issue here, not close to a city and the air is reasonably fresh and close to springs and the house is vented very well so its next to being outside i guess :) I get similar if not better results than a mates exact replica system using co2, so i'll um n ahh over c02 or fresh air being better, i say fresh air because its free :) but in a good sealed environment where heat is an issue with mass lighting than C02 will be your best friend in 35 degree heat.

It's like Sunshine #4 but a little richer and the BX version has Micorrhizae. Used it as a base for my Subcool Super Soil for the outside garden:




The super soil is in the trashcans and has been cooking for a few months. Last year I used the super soil formula straight and without cooking it first. I got some burned tips :P

Mo

I like the simplicity of that soil! i also love having more control over what they are eating though so its a hard one for me! but if it works why not :)

I got some nice pics of Amsterdam Gold round 2 now :)

Day 15 and just hit her fresh batch of Dutch Masters Gold range nutrients with the additive .add27



The 3 stoners.......







the 2 layers of netting have been taken over!!!









Ok time for a 5th trim!!!!! i'm getting sore jumping in backwards into the tent and breaking off useless leaves i tell ya!! Bit its going to be soooooo worth it! i just know it! Even huge fans are coming off. All in the name of Horticulture!! This will enable lower bud sites and their fan leaves to gather energy needed to equalize growth amongst the mass of buds. Take too many leaves off a cola and she will lose many valuable energy sources, and grow smaller than she could of, but you can take a few here and there on a large plant like this, it bothers them less than having leaves struggling to find light and just wilting and becoming useless, so i pinch these off before they get a chance. These are NOT Essential fan leaves, only the main 3-5 per cola. The buds are flowers, made up of smaller leaves so they get plenty of photosynthesis from here on, with very little interference from me needed.



She feels much better, and she can now breathe with ease and let more light into the canopy to fill those gaps with bud! :)



And we go for a whole plant shot here. Behemoth alright. She's going to stretch a little now and those colas are going to go mental

looking good mate!!! I like the cable tie chain holding that L/H lower lateral up, nice work mate:wink: Is that a air-con or a dehumidifier in the last pic?

LOL! mrs said the same thing!! hey it works!! :)

Oh the bottom fan.. just an oscilating fan, a cheapie, i go through them ones cause they start making noise!, nothings meant to last anymore :( if they had bearings in it she'd last heaps longer, but going 24hrs a day 365 days a year....... they take a beating.

So she was bent over then fucked, no I mean fimmed at each top site? Man you got a lot of tops going on!
Medium branched were likely fimmed, and mains near the centre of the lamp cop the whole clone snipping. I try to even them out by sections, a small next to a big an so on... Otherwise the big colas lean over eventually and will most likely get in the way. This gives me a bit of leeway. If you snip something that was going to be large somewhere, the energy is not lost or wasted, it is transfered to another growing node, and that will become the new node. Almost anything you can imagine is possible playing and training a plant :)

Holy shit bro she is a real beast of a plant! She is absolutely stunning and looks to LOVE the scrog :D top work as always mate, do you ever get bored of being this awesome at growing :lol:
 
Your day21 veg photos are good, even without your hand I could spot some darn big fan leaves. And the amsterdam gold cola is crackup massive. I chime I every now and then, and you will be pleased to know my two hemp systems are going really well. I wish I had switched to this system earlier, as it's effortless and stress free.

I have a question for you dr flow. My delicious seeds critical jack herer is going so well I don't want to make a mistake from here on. I am 35days in on a possible 63 day finish, and I want to know the right time to add my Swell. Ive been feeding only Rock A&B at 1.4. Should I half the fert, and put in a certain amount of swell.

Let me know your thoughts

Hey FlowaMasta - how is the weather? Does it get cold there in the winter?

Your tree is looking very healthy. I wish there were two of me so I could work on my hempy system while I am also working on my outdoor garden.


Here are some pics for you -

The lumber arrives tomorrow for the greenhouse!

Thanx for the feedback, and compliments! :)
I agree with you, its an effortless system and i think more and more people are starting to find out!!

Now regards to swell, its really hard to tell, it matters with how big your plant is, how healthy, and what nute regime shes been on even through vegging... all needs to be taken into account, Swell is given when the flowers are set, and they want to swell. This is when the first dormant period begins when the plant stops producing white pistils. When flowers are set, they will begin their transformation. Swell enables all sugars are translocated and used up to form the plants sugars on the outer exterior (resin) Swell is high in phosphorous which is very unique in the way it breaks down potassium. You have to add accordingly and be careful because its strong, start with a low dosage if running recirculating in my opinion, and go up each day until you find her sweet spot.

LOL :) Thanx matey!
