Maybe keep a pair of sunglasses near.:-P The 250W CMH in there is intense too.

The timers seem to be keeping better, but the swing from high to low is making me wonder. I think I'll leech it today with warmer indoor water. Thanks for following everyone.:weed:

Leeched her with 4 & a half gallons of indoor water today. I changed the timers so fans alternate for the HID's. Fans start at 15 & 30 min after lights come on, and 30 & 15 before HID's go off. UVB and it's fan come on as lights go off. MT is getting a cold wave so HPS in Cool Tube may be getting more time off then more reduction in the other one. held in 60's most times I checked, and mid 70's too. I saw a low 90's, but as a fan came on by the time the sensor reread it was 88, then 82. So fast, if it warms up too much, I guess.

yeah, those buds do look tasty, sucks the leaves are all knarly, but they will still make good butter :weed:
 
Looking beautiful daniels! I'm curious what you think the UVB is doing...as far as if you notice any changes in the next few days. Plants look great man, they are gonna be tasty! :)
 
Frosty babe man, superb...
I was wondering, how far are your lights?...I have also used 150 w and i kept it about 15 cm away.



Anyways, keep it green, not mean..:peace:

It's real hard to tell and I think harvest will be soon for reasons next post. My nutes got off, and soil is too cold.

Oh I'm sure those top colas will still be tasty. Maybe a new Alcohol Tincture, you never know GB.:eyesmoke:

Well, the 150W HPS is in a Cool Tube so I've had tops real close to the one in my fridge. It has a 150W CMH now & 4" to 6" gives a 'sunburn'. My dual 150W HPS in another chamber I go for 12". 6" (15 cm) seems real close. This has the 250W CMH which I think are more intense than the 100W difference. My 400W CMH has plants 12" away but much closer will burn them. This damage was caused by that Infrared Bulb more than the CMH, IMHO

Full Updates coming soon.:-P

Here pics of Cleo II or #4. She is not looking any better. :leaf:

Leeching may have helped but I think I started the drowning early and in another way. The air flow system keeps it under 90 even flipping and delayed.

The problem is the intake is in front of the pot and sucking 30's air past it. Obviously past leaves and colas, which have radient heat from the light, at the least. So the plant never started transpiring when it needed fed/watered.

So I think the roots haven't gotten air. I felt the soil today and it wasn't soaked, but not even near needing moisture. I got to thinking it looks like the PC test on W.'s Twins I drown. I think it is living off the Fan leaves from their color pulling and veins showing. :leaf:

I looked at it in a chair with the door open smoking a cigarette. The leaves are curling lower but the tops, their sugar leaves are canoe shaped. I started looking close in the middle buds. I think I can see a few Nanners starting. I'm thinking this plant has realized it's time to try to survive. Pic 2 shows Nanner area I'm watching. Pic 3 is mid Purps.

I've grown a few harvests of this Royal Kush in a few ways. It has done this Nanner to show smoke me:leaf: before. :bigjoint:

I'll re-evaluate in the morning as I have another to Harvest from the Fridge. Any Advice is welcome (kinda needed:-P)

Her burnt tops are doing OK and the rest is fattening up OK. These Flairform nutes are too low on N for me IMO. Though I could up it as I'm at the low range so more my fault. I have underfed her & neglected her too. Burnt tops first. Then good tops then side and middle.
The other plant and her had spider mites. I used Floramite with good results so far. I think I have them dead as it's been 10 days since I've seen anything suspicious. I think I will move her the FrigiDare for a few days to finish after I Harvest Cleo II. How long does the cold temp take to kill them for good?

its probably too late to fix cleo II, and I know you said you were probably gonna shut down the frig's until spring, but if you do use it you could possibly place a 23 watt CFL at the intake to heat the air up. maybe a green CFL so it will work with lights off??? still some nice buds!!
 
I decided to harvest the 4 tops today. It was Nanners I saw.(2nd Pic) I'll let the bottom go for a few more days. Great colors especially lower. :leaf:

So it was 9 days under the 2.0 UV-B. I'll compare a smoke report vs. W.'s Twins. It'll be hard to tell how well it worked without a control plant. The stretch early flowering threw it off, then the temp drop.:wall:

My plan is to give her a couple to 3 days to finish. Then pull Nikki back up from the Dual 150W HPS's to finish for a few more days. There has been a spider mite battle going on down there. I think I won but 5 to 7 days with these temp plummets should do it. Plus we'll see if she can handle a UV-B send off.

Anybody have any thoughts on Drowning Nikki for the 5 to 7 properly? I had another idea to try. What would happen if you added a strong Fish Emulsion (or another N) to the drowning water? Could it prolong the fermenting while getting a purple hue from the excess in the system. Just a random thought.:bigjoint:

Bud Porn later when I go through those pics.:bigjoint:

Looks very nice daniels, and I like your idea with drowning nikki and the fish to finish. let her drown till the green is gone!
 
sounds like it would definitely prolong the fermentation, since there will be more N to keep it going longer. maybe make it seem like it has had an even longer cure and make em super potent?

would be a good experiment though
 
"Met her in a hotel lobby....When Nikki starts to grind!!"

For all the alleged abuse she is one hot bitch! The only kind of batterd woman I found sexy!:twisted:

Don't know the answer to the cold question....apologies

But I like:clap:

Namaste':leaf:
 
that sucks bout the cold problem... my ladies just suffered 2 weeks of 50 degree temps and they did not grow one bit in that time.. i got them set up with a thermostat controlled heater and they started thriving again almost overnight...

so what about this idea daniels go to a beer making store and buy a large heat mat and line your fridge walls then get a simple control for $20 problem solved for about $40
 
Here's some pics showing the next colas I'll harvest tomorrow. A few lower have some more white hairs still.:leaf:
