Wow. I'd be tempted to sample a bud with the way they're lookin now lol.
Yes, I'm sure I will be doing hydro soon in the future...there's a bit more to it, but as far as regulation goes, I love the ability to control absolutely everything very easily with hydro...ph, nutes, stuff like that..I think PH has been giving me a kick in the rear on and off throughout this grow, but not too much I've been able to do about it..Quote:

Yes, Koolbloom will definitely work. I know Bluebear uses it as well.
Hydro...well, I guess you would say there is more to it, but once you get everything set up, it pretty much runs itself if you have everything automated. Just keep things in check and switch out the water religiously. It's definitely more accurate, I'd have to say. But, you gotta love soil as well, it is from Mother Earth! :D:D:D

Anyone able to comment on accuracy of thermometer/barometer combo? my barometer on my thermometer was telling me around 60%, but when that dehumidifier was turned on, it read 90% as room humidity..within about two or three minutes it was down to 35% :D I'll be monitoring it over the next couple hours to see how it does as far as temps and humidity levels..
probably will get some pics taken later :thumbsup:
That thing is a BEAUTY!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Well done Mark!!!!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
PS is one barameter closer to the floor?

I'd say that the dehumidifier and the barometer both are around the same level...Quote:

Here are some pics..I didn't take a bunch, but it shows you the progress :):thumbsup:
Beautiful.....beautiful. How's the rh?
well, with my light on in the closet, I wasn't much liking the idea of running the dehumidifier in there, so I put it right outside the door to do its work on the air in my room, set to 40, RH is 45 in the room right now, is maybe 45 in my closet...dehumidifier works, I've just gotta figure out the best way to run it...definitely has to be in the closet during the day, that's when humidity levels get dangerous...and I honestly wasn't even going to run it tonight, but it rained a lot today and the humidity was climbing up past 50 and I didn't like that, so I'll give it a try in the room and see if it'll do enough to the air in here that passes into my closet with the door cracked.Quote:

Oh I think it's great and most likely your last hurdle as well as far as enviromental control goes. Your cool tube, dehumidifier etc are all pieces of equipment you will use for years for growing whether hydro or soil. Great buy I say! :thumbsup:
My free standing rh meter , and the digital display on my dehum. are w/ in 5% of 1 another . Once dehum is plugged in it takes a min. or two for dehum. to give an acurate reading Mark .
Hope it works out all right for you and doesnt pull the water right out of the pots , keep an eye on moisture level in them .
Peace

will do, crispi thanks for the advice :thumbsup:Quote:

PS X-C....the F seeds are kind of macho.....already popped skins and i can see some stem action happening. :thumbsup:

What do you think about that? http://gallery.cannabis.com/data/612.../Blueberry.jpg
looks good man
hermie time....I knew they would probably get pissed because of the added heat, but I can't have this mold shit...gonna keep dehumidifier in my room now and have it dehumidify the air that's going to be going into my closet...damn..
I plucked with tweezers all little flowers I could see...mostly 1 or 2 nanners in a bunch, probably picked 10 or so of them...only on one plant so far, I raised light a few inches and am hoping they don't get any worse...if so, I guess I'll have some feminised beans but at least I wont have a bunch of moldy smoke..that's how I have to look at it.
Aww man I was hoping you were hermie free with this grow. Ah well the buds still look amazing so I'm pretty sure it'll still be worth the wait :D.
Herms....i agree Mark, definitely better than mold..... I read a very interesting article about plant transpiration and rh today. High rh definitely causes issues in addition to mold i discover....it can actually kill off parts of the plant because of too much water in the air=too much water in the plant. Glad you got the monster going :thumbsup:
they're gaining some weight :) week 5 flowering, not much longer to go now :thumbsup:
dehumidifier works great...I'm not sure how much it runs in a 24 hour period...but I'd say I have it shut off at least 12 hours and it gets about half full...a lot of water..22 1/2 pints roughly..this thing works great. Only bad side is heat it makes in my closet, but I'm tired of a moldy odor from my buds. They'd rather be warm than be attacked by mold, I'll guarantee it. Been on hermie patrol and haven't really seen any more, but it's likely I will, especially considering the stress the koolbloom will be doing to them, but oh well..It's my only option. Air was still too moist in having dehumidifier in my room and letting air go in under crack of door..
Mark those look like christmas trees in the photo. You are going to come away with some excellent smoke when you are done. ;)
They are really stunning.....very good job...especially with all the issues you had to deal with along the way. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Looking realy nice man!! :D
thanks weedhound, in the end I think I will have some decent buds...I don't think I'm going to yield as much as I had initially wanted, but I think I will see at least a few ounces...I can still pick up some good regular weed from time to time when I can find it and I should be able to stretch it for a while until I can get situated into my own place that I can grow in..this is my last time doing it here at home, but I've got everything I need to do it again, the proper knowledge and some kickass genetics..:DQuote:

you got yourself one healthy little forest!
Wow Mark those look just amazing. I'm really happy for you man I bet that shit knocks you out xD. I hope I get something like what you have man that's beautiful :)
here's a couple more I just took...The smell of them is so amazing...
Orangeman, with time and patience comes success...You'll learn your p's and q's to growing, I was in your shoes not even that long ago. You've got all the help you need from all of us.
Lol yeah I'd love to smell them too, and yeah I've learned a lot here. I mean a whole lot of stuff I should have known lol. But the best experience is self-experience to me. I'm glad I'm getting all this early so later on in my life I'll already have the experience for it. I love Cannabis :).
Beauty colas, man! Just beautiful.
