New Project:

So heat problems and power outtages (irregular photoperiods) have caused stress around here, and I've got some shitty looking buds to show you. I think it's mostly due to heat stress, as when I got the dehumidifier a week ago it literally raise the temp in there by about 10 degrees. I thought the temp change was from the lights being on the day (power outtage), but I changed that and it's still hot as hell in there. The buds like this are all only at the tops of the plants, which is a big indicator that heat is the culprit.

I really really really really hope these things aren't turning hermie. BB is a tall bitch and she's causing me drama.

Please, I'd like to hear your suggestions on this. I'm getting an A/C soon, but raising the light anymore is next to impossible and I tried to do some LST'ing, but I ended up breaking some stalks. Ouch. Tilting is not an option because they're stuck in cocomat. :( I guess a cooltube/inline fan is in order but i'm stretched pretty thin financially at the moment. I was really hoping I could get one grow out before I upgraded to a cooltube. I don't have the glass shield in the hood right now, btw.

these weren't quite ready, but what the hell...

peace,

hey friends.

Everything was harvested almost 2 wks ago. It worked out ok considering my temps were as high as 95 degrees in the last couple weeks. an A/C unit is next on the to-do list. Oh, and the A-10 was a complete disaster - a week strain that only grew about a foot high and was low potency.

Final Specs:

1000w

1 week veg, 9 weeks flower - total 10 wks

10 BB plants - 14.5 ounces of high grade

10 A-10 plants - 14 grams (not a misprint) of low grade poop weed:( :( :( :(


Thanks to everyone that helped me out along the way - I'll be smoking one for all of you. :jointsmile:

Peace,

Bud Luv whats up dude. When I satrted looking at this thread and saw an air coolable hood with a 1000 watt bulb in it I thought wonder how temps are. Well obviously temps were an issue especially when the BB went nuts in there. Have you thought insted of an AC, even though with summer rapidly approaching is probably your bes bet, just getting a 6 in can fan, or vortex to cool that light with. I'm only using a 400 in a closet and the 150 cfm fan cools it pretty good. Also have carbon filter and 100 cfm fan that extracts stinky/hot air from top of room. Just curious thats all.

hey Mulletman.

I have an A/C to put in there and I'm looking for a used vortex right now.
