Orangeman's 1st log!

I think an investment into a grow room is a good one for a couple reasons...
-Equipment gets re-used, so your first grow might cost you like $300 an ounce lol, but subsequent grows will cost little more than the price of electricity and fertilizer!
-This is so corny... it's a hobby... look at what people spend on like craft supplies and such... hahaha it's entertainment if you are a garden geek like some people!

Yeah Orangeman the ventilation is something that will repay you well, and I'd like to suggest that your next light be air-cooled- I waited 3 years for my first air hood and was like, WOW, I'm a dummy, it would have solved a lot of problems!!!

On the topic, mites breed and go thrrough their life cycles REALLY fast in higher temps and an infestation can get out of hand faster if you are up in the 80s. IF you HAD mites yeah, the damage may continue to look like it is getting worse as the leaves scar up, so just look for signs of FRESH damage and the bugs themselves, and even if you don't see any, a good bug-bombing a week before you initiate flower, and then another one a week later, is GREAT for your peace of mind.
The plants are looking very nice overall. If I were going to make one suggestion, it would be to train them out a little flatter to use the light more efficiently. See how the lower parts of the plant are in the shade? IF you spread out the canopy, you will have a little better penetration, and you will be giving yourself more room for when it is time to flower.

Yeah Stinky thanks, I was gonna say fuck it and do it to the whole garden but I did tie one branch down. Thanks for telling me that. I'm gonna just tie them all down because I was concerned about the parts of the plants that were not getting that much light. And yeah that's sort of a bad thing because my temps do reach about 85 at most times, I believe because of the dehumidifier. When it's off temps usually are just 75-78. But I think it'll be fine. I can't wait until I see them tonight :). And thanks for stopping in :D. And yeah I do need to get something, I was planning on getting an air cooled system for my lights when I get a bigger room. I'll probably get a 600 watter. I really want to move the light closer but I don't want to burn them :( I'm gonna get a glass lens for my next grow to just deal with the 250 for now.

lol you have 6,666 posts xD

not any more lol!!! :D
85 isn't bad... could be worse... tieing down will make the light use more efficient anyway

Yeah, but I didn't really tie them down because of a rumor that I sorta believed and never asked to be sure about..but some where I read that tying down while flowering was stressful and could increase the possibility of hermies or some shit like that. But I'm gonna tie them down and move the light just a bit closer. I want to make the most out of what I have :D.

Just be gentle. The thing you should never do in flower is top or pinch.
I'm going to train my 2 week flowering Toxic Lemon tonight, Foxy will post pics in the AM I think lol... I trust her not to herm.\

edit: I think it's about 2 months now (2 months and 2 days to be exact) and I think it was about a month and 1/2 into growth when I decided to flower. And yeah Stinky I knew about that one lol. I mean, like I said above 1 fan leave fell off of 2 of my plants but that was because of an accident with the fan :p.

I tied them down, hopefully this helps the bottom develop a bit more :). The one on the left isn't really developed like I want. It was really a slow grower and sadly I only had one room so it had to go along into flowering with the other 2 at the time. Not really much going on with the flowers, I love that they are there though. I spent a whole hour down there just look at all the places where it was flowering lol. Should I give them some flowering nutes for next watering? Would that help the branches to get a bit thicker?

Cool, you should notice the lower stuff start to fill in some more now.

Lookin' good O-man. :thumbsup:
