Lemmy's Grow

Hello everyone, this is my first grow. Starting this thread to keep track of progress and for any advice anyone has along the way. I'm using my closet which is 4.5x2x6. 400 watt MH/HPS. Temp avg at 75 and humidity at 50%. Day 12 of bloom. I have 4 La Con and 2 Jack Herer. I'm using roots as my base soil mixed with vermicompost in 3 gallon pots.

Kelp meal
Neem meal
Alfalfa meal
Crab meal
Oyster shell
Glacial rock dust

These are my jacks. My La Con had a cal/mag def about 2 weeks ago after I let the soil dry out way too much and proceeded to use bottled water to water with. They are recovering nicely.

I use my central AC for my house to cool my closet(or at least I used to). The other day I came home expecting a nice cool breeze to hit my face when i opened my door. Instead I got punched by a heat wave of death...

I ran to the thermostat and my house was 80 degrees. I ran to my closet, it was at 90(yikes). My AC was blowing hot air. Right away I opened all my windows. I turned the AC off and back on and it started to work properly. I have no idea how this happened but it was working when I left the house.

I decided to buy a portable AC unit. It comes complete with a dehumidifier. This thing works way to well. I spent 60 bucks on a used system from a couple off craigslist who just recently installed central heating and air and were looking to huck it for extra cash for xmas. This system is retailed at 300 bucks online and is in great condition so I got a hell of a deal.
super stoked!

Both jacks were topped and tied down during veg.

La Con on day 11 bloom

The new AC is making temps too low in the closet but humidity is at 49%. Temp in closet was 64 f. I'm going to move the ac further away and see if it helps. Trying to get to at least 70 f.

temp has been stable at 71 f for the last hour since moving the ac further back. Nice! This new ac is better than my central system

Watered today with compost tea and added new Earthjuice Micro Blast. Plants look perky

Day 13 bloom

watered today with plain water, put my finger 2 inches deep to check if soil was dry and accidentally snapped a root. Hope this doesn't put the plant into shock.

on the bright side, it looked white and healthy

Collected 5 gallons of clean rain water today.

Looking Good M8.

Many Thanx for the share.

Peace and Great Grows
