Aiming 400g 3x3 Runtz Muffin in hydroponics. I have poor sight

What do you do for your intake air? That has always been the most problematic issue for me is so many ways! I want to use fresh air directly from outside thru ducting into the tent. Considerations with such set up include security. Having the window open leaves your home exposed to break ins and prying eyes wondering why ducting is in the window in the first place. Having the window on a higher floor away from a roof seems more secure than a bottom floor window. And then trying to camouflage it helps.

Well, luckily I live in the Scandinavia so outside temps are currently 5-10°c and my flat is at the second floor so it's easy to keep a window open for a while whenever. I don't need to keep it open much if any albeit when these girls are on late bloom in june, temps will probably raise a degree or two. And then it won't be useful to keep the window open since this building is made of fat stone/concrete at the 60's, also my flat is in the middle and facing sunset so basically no heat reflecting towards it. Stays really cool. A little small, can fit only 3x3 and a 2.5x2.5. But hey, things could be worse...easy appartment to grow with 450W. The rent is a bargain...

Oh I see. Do you think about what kind of air is circulating in your flat? I forgot about exhausting out the window as well. So if you exhaust out of the tent that air goes into the room and then if you don’t pull fresh air from outside the window into your tent it’s just room circulation from the exhaust. The lady’s prefer fresh air directly into the tent . But if your temps are so cold that’s a real concern. Do you have to run your heater pretty high? What’s your monthly rent cost?

The air circulation is gravity assisted in this building, and the flat has 3 exhaust vents. Pulls from the seams and there are flaps on top of the windows which passively give fresh air so the room remains quite fresh. I wish I'd have a co2 meter to see how high the levels go in this 34 square meter flat. Keeping the window open for just when I smoke in my kitchen seems to be enough extra circulation. The building, as all here basically, is centrally heated with water batteries, comes with the rent. The rent is only 350€ per month. Electricity about 75€ per month. Harvest every two months. Ambient temp of the flat is around 22-24c

Maybe I should think about retirement where you live. That sounds like the perfect place!

Ah Finland the happiest people in the world lol. The summer is fast and low-snowed. people are secluded and depressed. Have to grow weed against the big sad. Others drink...A small town of 25k inhabitants. I would not recommend. Though they say our weed is the strongest, visitors from U.S for example.

I’m sure the Uv rays from your garden help with some of Seasonal Acute depression. Trust me , I know about that! Live in Washington State in the winter and it’s dark damp and cold and the sun is just a distant
Blip in the southern sky. Do you have legal pot. Maybe I come and smoke some and see how good it is before I decide to retire there. I don’t mind the cold weather. I like that’s cheap as fuk.

Oh then you might fit what comes to climate. We only have legal CBD- stuff but when over something like .5% THC it's illegal. I'm not so sure if we're able to even decriminalize, but the popo does not chase anyone with less than 1kg, when not dealing day-to-day.

Good luck with finding connections here lol, everyone's so reserved against authority. Most of the sold weed here is kinda second grade, made just to maximize the yield. And it's expensive - with a good source 15€, otherwise easy 20€/g. You gotta know some grower friends to make it work well. Quite some growers here infact, but most make small yields for themselves. At least that's my experience, I am not that much of a people person so I'll mostly make it for myself. Maybe give away 100g per harvest to friends.
 
Gotta use everything, out of smokes and quite broke...the latest defol material, which is quite a lot. Gonna get some 4 doses of chocolate milk from these though the effects are either almost nothing or 2 hours of heart palpation. Worth the risk at this point, my palms are so sweaty. Well, in the future I should have enough to get by.

Looks amazing! You did a really nice job with topping . The under growth is really well done. I need to start thinking about topping . How many times did you top off? Or did you FIM?
fimming gas always been hard for me, especially when it’s small .

Thanks mate!
I topped once at 5th node. Though the other plant lost another two tops by mistakes which weren't beneficial. Mostly bending and using trellis net early on, some supercropping. I still didn't get full area...45 days with a good strain, should be full. But this ain't particularly good strain to grow, I simply love the effects. :hug:
 
It was time to check water, 6 days had passed. Smaller been dinking just some 5L, ph 6.7. corrected with ph down and some fresh solution.
Bigger one drank 10L, ph 5.1. corrected by adding water with ph 8, 4L and fresh nutrient solution about 6L. Set both ph 6.2.
So inbalanced even though ran the flash clean 8 days ago. Temps staying at the 26-27c, humidity 40-55%. Terra aquatica tripart kinda sucks bad, especially with small reservoirs like these.

Clones getting their first manouver. I'm starting with 4 tops, then top all of them once or twice more for them nice mainlines. This practice should give the girls some good shape...old nutrient solution there, some temporary purple.

Damn, same thing as last time, identical situation infact. The left one, smaller, is more green and blooms slower and probably less. The right one looking really nice, is getting already milky appearance and has lots of vigor, drinks better. This strain is known for being finicky with nutrients...
A nutrient imbalance is a possibility here between the plants, but they're not so heavily feeded and also foliage shows not clues. I'll just keep keeping an eye on the ph as it is the only way to evaluate ec at the time. Maybe it's finally time to get a meter for it, or at least get some ph buffering solution.

I took the clones that I planted from the better phenotype just by looking the internode spacing and root development at that time.

I did a transfusion between the reservoirs, simply to eliminate possible bacterial affect. Smaller plant's ph keeps creeping up and seems a tidy bit of cloudy. If this won't work I'll just do a reservoir change for the smaller one. Bigger drinks and behaves well.
