first time indoors...running with:
- 4'11" x 4'11" x 6'7" Secret Jardin Dark Room
- 1 600W Hydrofarm Daystar AC on Yo-Yos (light stays a minimum of a foot away from the plants)
- 1 Hydrofarm Digital Timer
- 1 Hydrofarm 600W Lumatek Digital Ballast
- 1 6" x 24" Carbon Filter suspended in the top center back of the tent
- 1 Sunleaves 6" fan 409CFM 70W
- 1 fan control unit
- 2 movable adjustable clip fans in opposite corners that will stay just above the canopy
- passive air intake through the adjustable lower vents
- 1 4' x 4' tray on Cinder Blocks and 2" x 6" wood beams with a slight slant towards the center and front so excess runoff water irrigates to the front of the tray where ive secured a spigot to drain
- 1 Ipod dock with speakers across the room running a constant random mix of the late great Bob Marley, Pato Banton, Pepper, Slightly Stoopid, Barrington Levy, Jimi Hendrix and Willie Nelson at a low level that can barely be heard from outside the room with the door closed (gotta keep the vibes good!!!)
running it: Carbon Filter >> Fan >> Light >> Exhaust
been up and running for 4 days now and with lights on im sitting at about 80.6F and my humidity stays between 20%-27%...with lights off im sitting at about 70F and 20% humidity
i picked up 19 Sour Diesel clones and 1 G-13 clone all in Grodan Cubes from a nearby patient...i placed them in 1.5 Gallon pots with good irrigation and used Happy Frog Soil (people suggested Ocean Forrest, but i was successful with HF outdoors)..everythings going ok so far, but on some of the SD clones, the older fan leaves are becoming twisted, dry and brittle...pics speak far louder then words so:
heres the set up:
heres one of the better looking Sour Diesel clones after 3 days on a 22/2 cycle with temp being around 80F with 20-27% Humidity with lights on
and the following are pics of other plants from the same batch of clones, in the same conditions...as you'll see the fan leaves are becoming extremely twisted, dry and brittle...as i said, i haven't added any nutes whatsoever, I'm using Happy Frog soil, and i keep the light at least 12" away from the plants:
out of the 19 SD clones i have, i'd say that 13 of them have some degree of this twisting dry brittle older fan leaves...is this natural?...will it pass with patience or do i need to take some action right now?...the G-13 clone is responding very well
any suggestions or tips? thank you
if youre interested in keeping up with this grow...i have started a grow journal in the proper section that will be updated daily
thank you avain
