New Grow room

[oldjarhead100]

recently I had a very high PPM in the root zone and I locked them out so I flushed them out ,that particular plant was just under the scrog so I left all the leafs on it so that is old damage I hope lol

right now My root zones are still a little high 7to900 ppm in and 12to1300 out once a week since this happened I have done a small flush about a gallon with 60 mls of floracleen per 5 gallons of water each plant gets 2 scoops ,I let it sit for a couple of hours then use 30ml of flora clean to 5 gallons of water after that I give them a normal feeding , I will have to do that today I missed watering on Fathers day and run off ppm was very high 1300ppm plus I got very little run off so its a flush today

Today is the first day of revised week 4 of 12/12 still no bud starting to show but they grew 6 inches yesterday I had to super crop that entire middle section

I had to change some guide wheels on my light mover they are the cheapest dam things I ever seen I will have to change them out every grow from now on ,I did the near side but can not swap out the far side without taking light mover apart .Right at the end of travel in one direction it kept stopping so I ended up shortening the distance it travels this will affect the two plants on that end Oh well.

[Campesino]

Sounds good. Too bad about the track!

Yeah, nothing makes PPM spike as fast as missing a fertigation! Shouldn't be too hard to get it back in range.
No buds yet? Pistils?

[oldjarhead100]

a few pistils if I reset the clock right this is the beginning of week 4

Hi, I have a question for ya. My 2 girls in the yard have come down with aphids. Not bad yet but I want to get rid of them asap. Tried 70% neem sprayed heavly but it doesn't seem to be very effective. Got any ideas?

[Californiakid]

Sm90 covers a lot of pests including aphids.

[oldjarhead100]

I've used neem oil extract,3 and 1 spray,azamax,lady bugs all of them say you can spray the day of harvest I wouldn't do that but it says you can lol
I get the neem oil from lowes or walmart,
hey next time you are going to see PG let me know maybe I can surprise him and show up lol

[stoneotter]

Thanks! I'm all over it.

[oldjarhead100]

because I missed a fertigation I needed to re wet the coco so I took advantage and flushed them all first flush was 2 scoops with 60 mils of floraclean in 5 gallons of water ,I let that set for a couple of hours then flushed again with 30 mls of FC checked run off PPM in range so I fertigated ,ppm in 830 ppm out 900 , I have one plant in the back that I'm having trouble getting runoff I think it just drinks more than the rest ,I got run off yesterday when flushing not so much when feeding?

[oldjarhead100]

ya yesterday feeding I gave her 2 scoops and she had runoff

[oldjarhead100]

so I opened the door to bloom room and I was greeted by 6 inch taller plants wow I am really finding out what bloom stretch is lol ,I bent one girl down yesterday that was 14 inches long ,even the short plants have caught up and filling the scrog pictures today

[oldjarhead100]

In the second and third pictures there is a low spot in the middle I super cropped everything in that spot and the forth picture made my day yesterday i was checking the plants out and I see this white spot so looking closer I was so happy to see them had to show them ,so soon their will be pistils everywhere ,

when pistals show up does that signal the end of the stretch ?

[stoneotter]

LOOKING good over there

[Paracelsus]

I swear you’re growing room is starting to look like the flight deck for the starship enterprise LOL

[alltatup]

They look fantastic, OJH!!!

[oldjarhead100]

Went out to our great granddaughters birthday Party on Friday and with the new addition we wanted to make it a big day for her after all she is 5 as she puts it lol. we took the camper and I came home yesterday to find some new growth on them I'm in a quandary it is the middle of week four so I am skeptical about tieing them down again if they are going to stop stretching but if I dont I will burn the crap out of them .I dont see any light burn yet so I'm thinking maybe with the light mover I can have them get more than they need with out burning them IDK .What I do know is I am running out of vertical space lol

[oldjarhead100]

One other thing A friend gave me a 30 pint dehumidifier with a hose attachment well hooked it up and it filled the internal tray took it apart to fix it put a cork in the hole to the tray put it all back together and it did the same thing so I took it apart again to make the hose hole bigger well lo and behold they had two drain holes for the tray so I blocked off the second hole put it back together and now it doesn't do a thing .it starts to work then shuts down and blows hot air I give up I'm going to get a new one and try again I would just use the tray but it fills and shuts down before its done its job

[alltatup]

Sigh... all part of the process of fine tuning the grow space...$$$$$...

[stoneotter]

That's too bad but new ones work better than older. Older ones need to have temps in certain ranges and blow hotter. I got a new one last year and it runs cooler and better.

[oldjarhead100]

I have some work to get done today ,I walked into the girls being a couple of inches from the lights so ill have to super crop them but I think I need to defoil them first so thats the game plan after 2 doctor appointments stoneotter what kind did you get and how big ,I think a 50 pint a day is what I need the 30 would fill up and stop ,hate to spend the money but I have to

[stoneotter]

Hey oldjarhead, I have a 50 qt fridgedare that I use the drain hose feature into my sump hole. It's made by electrolux I noticed. You'd have to empty it 2 or 3 times a day otherwise. I'm happy with it.

[oldjarhead100]

forgot the pictures lol the led bars are 4 feet from the floor, I try not to think about yields before the girls are done ,but if this grow finishes nicely then dam its going to be a good one

[Chefbjy]

Lots of stretch...girls are happy. Crazy close to the light OJH. Hope all goes well at the docs. Supercrop ftw!! Let us know how it all goes.

[oldjarhead100]

I got 2/3rds of it done then will super crop so there is more distance between them and light will post pictures tomorrow Chefbjy yes that scared the sh t out of me when I first saw how close they were .I think because its moving it doesn't burn them so quick , I will have it resolved today .even if I know I have trouble with them but what does ftw mean had to ask about Pita to lol

[Californiakid]

F -for
t -the
w -win

[Chefbjy]

Yeah what ck said...😆. The mover definitely helps... 😃

[oldjarhead100]

and I thought Pita was funny lol thats why I'm a jar head lol

[oldjarhead100]

well it looks like a tornado went though the bloom room but there is more distance between plants and light ,I didn't have time yesterday but today I think I'll give them a foiler essence spray

I also broke down and bought a new dehumidifier and got it installed with the hose so maybe when I go down today it will be 45% humidity

[stoneotter]

I fired mine up yesterday too. Foolishly I left a loop in the hose and the water filled up the tank instead of the sump. Of course it shut down. Today will dry out better. Going to be some good outside growing the next few days.

[oldjarhead100]

I took a couple of day after pictures but they didn't come though will try again today

[oldjarhead100]

Took my Grandson Dominick fishing for fluke ,he got so sea sick he never fished, felt bad for the little guy he never complained though

[Redwasp]

Yes happened to my daughter fishing for King Mackerel

[Potted]

I went on a party boat for stripers and 3/4 of the “fishermen” dident fish.....I just stayed out of the cabin and was able to win the pool. I’ve not seen that kind of heaving since I took paotie buttons back in the day😁

[oldjarhead100]

I gave a buddy a hand, trimming yesterday morning 730 to 115 4 of us yikes then never got to my girls so lots of things to do today

[oldjarhead100]

I cant believe this I don't have any white pistils yet holy crap I'm starting to think they wont ever bloom lol I checked room to see if there were any light leaks nope I'm good ,oh hey on a brighter note the new dehumidifier works great rh in room is 45 to 50 unfortunately temps are now 85 to 90 so I think one of those new room acs with the discharge hose so I can send hot air out of the room .Hmm i wonder if I could make a cover for the DH and then vent the hot air from that out of bloom room might save myself 300

[RosettaStoned]

I used foil covered foam board to make a duct for that purpose, on an ac unit when I used tents. Some 8 penny nails to pin it together, foil tape, tape measure, knife. Make what works for you...cheaper than an ac and the electric for it

[stoneotter]

It's a conundrum growing in this humid heat. I just got 90
degrees @ the buds with the dehumidifier @ 50 % rh. Well thats no good. So i shut that down and put the little window ac unit in. It's 75 in there with lights out but 65% rh. Good thing this won't last too long. Edit: Letting things run over time made rh go 50 % temps low 80s. So good so far
