[TomDaDon90]

So they will get bigger.! Yeah and I'm just starting to notice the smell from them, I can't wait until week 6-9 , the smell then.! I'm looking forward to them being done , I hope they are high in THC.
I'm so glad and it's pretty easy I just wish I would have gotten bigger pots for em. But next time
Today is exactly 28th day week 4 starting. So still a ways ahead of me. So I'm excited. Yes.

[TomDaDon90]

What is your average temperature inside the tent at lights on?

Just an FYI but terpenes, the compounds that attribute to flavor and smell along with helping THC get you higher, will begin to evaporate at around 70°.
This is why a lot of growers like to lower the temperature of their grow the last few weeks before harvest to preserve as much terpene as they can for more flavorful smoke.

The smell you are smelling are terpenes evaporating. Not bad just thought I'd explain what and how that happens.

After week 6 I've noticed most cultivars flowers stop growing as fast and seem to be concentrating more on building THC, Cannabanoids, etc. The swell I see happen usually starts around week 8 - 9 so although the flower won't get all that much longer it will get fatter.

[TomDaDon90]

Well in the house it's 68 Degrees.
But lately been in 75s.
This week it's in 65s at night.
And when it gets warmer my father said he'll turn the AC on.
So I hope I'm okay.
So the cooler it is during last stages of flower will get more high THC ..
Okay that's good to know..
Thanks. I'll do my best at keeping it cool at night and during day.
Thanks RootsRuler.!

And I have them in the corner of my room On a flower stand. With Drywall boards around the 3 sides, so light not in my eyes when I'm in my bedroom. So it's kind of ghetto lol . Yeah so. I have my window open and it's 60s tonight so. I'm trying and keep the temperature in the low 70's. I'm do my best. This my first time growing inside. My next I will have a tent. But this until harvest is what I'm dealing with. And my light socket will not let me use a timer so I have to plug em in every morning at 8am and night at 8pm. So it's a little difficult. Next time this will not happen. So yeah really ghetto I guess my house is like built in the 1940s so yeah. But other than that I'm doing pretty good.

[ductwizard]

hey tom you do know that they make socket to plug adapters that you can plug a timer into right? like 5 bucks at any hardware store or h.d.

[TomDaDon90]

Yeah I bought two different kinds and they still don't work in my socket. My bedroom is from the 1940s and I guess they don't work with my bedroom. Last time I'm growing in here lol

[TomDaDon90]

And I put a blanket to keep em from getting light like a tent sort of with the drywall boards lol. At night time. So it all works out perfectly. I bet I'm the only kid in USA doing this shit lol putting blankets over drywall boards and flower stand grow tent lol. It works. And keeps em perfectly dark and I can open a part like a tent and vent it for cool air at night time with my window open tonight, said to be 65 degrees
. How cool shall I keep it. And you said in week 6 -9 . I'm at exactly 4 Now. So I still have a ways to go. Or don't I ?
Please lmk n thanks.

[ductwizard]

are you sure it's not the timer

[TomDaDon90]

How come the top big leaves are starting to wilt a little.
Is it because the led light is too close to it?
So I moved em down a little bit. I'm not sure ?

[TomDaDon90]

I know why they turned a little bit yellow the leaves is because I water them a little to much at first then I stopped. But my big leaves on top are like drying up. And I have no idea why except the heat from the light maybe?

[TomDaDon90]

It's not water because I use a water meter.
I Google it so it's more than likely I had my light way to close to my flowers. They were like 12" inches from the light. So was probably way too close.

[TomDaDon90]

I just moved them down about 6 inches.

[TomDaDon90]

And maybe they were about 10 inches from the top of the flower.
So I just noticed this today like get real bad. So I hope this fixes it. Idk ?

[TomDaDon90]

I just measured and they were like 6 to 7 inches away from my LED.
Now they're at 14" inches. So I hope this will help.

[TomDaDon90]

And will my buds still turn out good.
Since this has happened?

[ductwizard]

what does it say on you light specs. for distance? it should tell you

Use this to get a general idea of how much light you are giving your plant. I suggest you download a free light meter app so you can measure the amount of light you are giving your plant. If you have an android phone I suggest Tent Buddy. Iphone? Photone.
