Sean Winchester's Grow Journal

Big problems today. ran the 3rd light today and came home to a tent with a temp of 89 and leaves were looking like tacos. Just installed a 6" larger case exhaust fan and turned the dehumidifier up to 55% and now it's staying at 80. Anyone have any suggestions please
 
Very nice Sean. Handsome and functioning environment...and agree choosing is easy..letting go..not so much.
 
Looks like you can't seem to put your babies up for adoption either. I think that isn't an uncommon malady. Sorry to hear about the heat stress.....How large is your intake fan/duct? Where does it get its air from? I don't have any direct experience with this because my grow room gets good ventilation and if I need to cool it off I just open the window. Anyway, this may be extreme but if you can bring in cold air from outside that might help_or from another room or from the same room outside your tent that is air-conditioned (if you can fit buying one into your budget_and have room for one of those floor jobs or can install one in a window. Last grow I had 5 gallon buckets and the humidity went way up so I had to buy dehumidifier. Got a large one and it works great_they also had air conditioners that were about the same size and price. Saw them at Home Depot, its not small though, about 6 cubic feet. A friend has an intake fan that pulls air in from outside_ it's often below freezing here at night now so he has it rigged so it turns on when the temp gets to 80 and shuts down when it gets to 70. In a way just like your dehumidifier. I can ask him about the setup if you'd like. Good luck, hope the problem gets resolved!
 
No Title

In the middle of manifolding I got a service call so I'll call it done for now I ran out of stakes and it killed me to cut them that much and I got to fill my cloner up

Work, always seems to get in the way, one way or the other. From the photos it looks like you have good separation between the two lighting setups without the divider_ for your experiment- cool. The pruned ones look pretty healthy so they should make a nice recovery. Anxious to see how the manifold works out_ I'm planing to try that next time.
 
How big is your intake hole, and is there cool fresh air coming in? A good exhaust fan is really effective as long as it can get enough air to replace all the hot air. Where is the hot air venting out to? Your plants look good! 80°F is hot but not that hot :)
 
If I had 24 more inches to move up the light, I personally would grow the plants to about 12" high before the switch, so they end up about 24" feet tall after they're done stretching (since plants about double in height after the switch to 12/12). That'll help you maximize the grow space under the light! If all other things are equal, a bigger plant tends to yields more. What wattage are your grow lights?
 
Some say yes some say meh. I did 30+hrs of dark on last grow. No seen difference. Flipping today and doing only 12hrs of dark starting in 8minutes! Figured they'll flower eventually!
