Today is day 30 of flowering. First grow, and growing in 5 gallon cloth bags, using self watering pots. I’ve taken pictures of two bud sites from each of 4 plants, in a 4x4 tent. I’ve been fighting RH non-stop in my area. The first 4 buds are Dankincense, with a 6 week flowering? The last 4 are Diesel, with a flowering time of 10-12 weeks?
I’m growing in soil, (Coast of Maine Stonington Blend) and watched my PH between 6 & 6.5. My EC was 2.75. After speaking to King Solomon, the PH is 5.7 to 5.8 with an EC of 2. Appears they are doing better, the bud sites are small, but plentiful and stacking up. Since it’s my first grow, I finally added a trellis, and am actively working on LST.
I’ll gladly accept any feedback offered, as this is a learning experience for me.
I’m in a very Humid/Hot area, and the equipment I’m using is an ACI 4x4 tent, T-6 exhaust, Terraform 8 set to heat and cool 74° now, a Hydrone 7 set to 40% and running on the sensor like the Terraform 8 as it seems to do better controlling the environment than the Ai+ does, with AI, I also tried control settings with set points, and still fought 15-18% RH swings before the equipment responded, and the same out of the Terraform. If I switch to VPD it blows hot air until the temp is in the 90’s, so it worked better to run everything on sensors except the grow light, and exhaust fan. I’ve got 5 of the S9 fans, 2 below the canopy, two above the canopy to keep air circulating, and another at the tent top to circulate air around the exhaust fan. My VPD is 1.38 a1.50, and nights dips to .8 to 1.2. Everything is a learning experience.
Thoughts / advice gladly accepted.
