Lights on temps are 25c 55% humidity. Lights off during our day time it's about 18c or 16c I honest don't know because I don't go in when the lights are off. No light leaks checked it when I first built the shed and the dividing wall

Yeah two weeks to the day previously in the house they seemed to flip faster. Yeah the hps is polluting the colour they are all normal colours.

Couldnt believe it, slighest whiff of the ol familiar overnight (they are just shy of 3 weeks old). Emeraldbuds ye were right to ask was i running a scrubber, its next on the list.

Just trying out my new ram 125mm inline fan and notice there is a high pitched electrical whine noise that comes from the control box on the fan **only** when using the varispeed controller. This puts the shits up me a tad, would it you?

Bigger tent should arrive mid next wk as will the 600w dual spec hps, digi ballast. Hope to have all six in the new set up soon.

That sound is what you get dimming a fan with anything that doesn't lower voltage to do so. Is the speed controller built in or a separate addition? If its separate you want a variac which steps the voltage down. General rule of thumb, if the speed controller doesn't look and feel like a house brick its probably shit.

Lesson learnt so.
Tbh lads when i heard that noise only when using the plug in controller alarm bells rang. Would it have caused a fire?

Can you link one that you might recommend as this model fan has just a two stage switch (hi and low) and having the ability to control it better would rock.

Hey people, just wanted to share this beautiful Notorious OG from Phenofinder at week 4 of flower, I'm having real poor germination success rate this year so this lady will be even sweeter! Welcome to the new growers, good to see more people getting into gardening! :)

Young leaves are easily damaged by light or/and water. Avoid getting the leaves wet with the lights on.
More patience and less fussing.:bigjoint:
Always check underneath leaves for bugs.

Roger roger Budsahoi, im deffo freaking the head a bit for sure, there's a lot riding on this.
You dont think its a nitrogen deficiency or septoria then? I'm super careful (fussy by nature lol) to not wet the leaves.
When i get home I'll check under the leaves for nasties!

If u feel u have to do something in the tent just get a sprayer and apart the plants with water I find that helps my head space. I won't be worried about the leaves

Hey some super thrive I think it's the business
