    Fans on Outdoor Plants?

    Unfortunately, I’m growing in an area that used to be an avocado orchard. 40 years of spreading wood chips makes a wonderful breeding ground for botrytis spores.

    Fans on Outdoor Plants?

    The Humboldt Seed Company said their Blueberry Muffin is resistant to mold, and an earlier finisher which helps, but that no strain is impervious to bud rot if the conditions are right and the spores are there. I bought 5 feminized seeds for this year.

    Fans on Outdoor Plants?

    Anybody run fans on their outdoor plants? My 2023 outdoor crop was devastated by bud rot. Two things made matters worse, tropical storm Hilary brought late season rain, high humidity, and 90 degrees, and my plants grew huge and overcrowded. Total loss. This year I plan to put down plastic...

    Another ILGM Feminized Gone Hermie. Grrrrrr!

    Too late. I’ll bookmark the site, but I just ordered feminized Blueberry Muffin from Humboldt Seed Company. HSC BM is a fast finisher and mold resistant. They seem to have a good reputation.

    Another ILGM Feminized Gone Hermie. Grrrrrr!

    I bought 5 feminized Tropicana Cookies and 5 GSC Extreme seeds last year from ILGM. I had two in my 4x4 ready to finish this week. One must have dropped some male flowers that I missed…until it was too late. The entire tent was seeded. Even the two GSC Extreme, full of immature seeds. The whole...

    PH'ing tap water

    Exactly! Just go to Amazon and buy tthe two pint kit of General Hydroponics Ph Down and Ph Up. I think it’s under $15. It’s only takes a couple drops. I’ve been using this for years and it’s great.

    Complete Indoor 4x4 Set UP, Gorilla, 2 HLG 350 Diablos, AC Infinity, etc. Central or So Calif

    I bought almost all of this stuff in November. Tried to go from decades growing outdoor to indoor. For me, it's just too much work for the weight a 4x4 can produce. Gorilla Tent 4'x4'x7' 11", with 2 sets of negative pressure support bars. 2 HLG 350 Diablo, in the boxes, with hangers and daisy...

    I bought a cheapy PAR meter.

    Yes I did! All three were the EXACT same reading across a 4x4 with two HLG 350 Diablos at 75%. I set both lights so they read 1,100 at the top center bud with the Apogee 500, then used the others. Believe it or not, the readings were nearly identical across the entire 4x4. No need to spend...

    I bought a cheapy PAR meter.

    Secretmicrogrow420, PM me your address (or a PO box) and I'll send you one of these for free. :D I bought one, then my wife gave me one for my birthday a couple days later. I didn't have the heart to tell her. To top that, my neighbor quit growing and gave me a new Apogee MQ-500 for free. The...

    Lights out humidity?

    If you can’t keep the lights-out RH below 60% you need to make sure the temps are low and you have airflow. I have decades of experience outdoors, and all my botrytis and PM damage has come when humidity coincides with warm weather calm winds. 60% is ok if temps stay below 65F and you have some...

    Is This Fox-tailing?

    My temps are good. 75-77F lights on and 63-67F lights out. The PAR at the center tops are around 1,050 and 800 at the sides. I'm pulling about 600 watts. Should I back the lights off a little?

    Is This Fox-tailing?

    Is this the beginning of foxtailing? She’s 60 days from flip. 70% sativa hybrid Tropicana Cookies. She keeps putting out new clusters of white pistols. In a 4x4, 7 gal fabric, coco/perlite modified FFOF, FF Trio feeding schedule with all the amendments. Feeding every other watering.

    Drying Solution

    I’ll keep you posted. Let’s see what happens after the cold night passes. I have a feeling I’ll be able to turn the humidifier off overnight. RH rises as the ambient temperature cools.

    Drying Solution

    Not humid enough. The tent is about 47% lights out and 77F with 38%-40% lights on. I need at least 50% and cooler temps for a good slow dry.

    Drying Solution

    Then you won’t mind a few PMs from me? I’m gonna hit Craig’s List for a thermoelectric. Although, so far the boxes are holding steady.

    Drying Solution

    Looks like a lot of work. Wine coolers dry the air. I’ll have to spend more time in the thread to see how he solved the low RH issue.
