Really good job m8 , wanna see the end product !

I'm verry glad that u managed to fight out the Mexican temps im puting a chart that shows the oxygen saturation levels according the water temperature

Temperature(F/C) O2 Sat Lvl (mg/l-ppm)
41/5 - 13.0/14.8
59/15 - 9.5-10.8
68/20 - 8.8-9.4
77/25 - 7.9-8.5
86/30 - 7.4-7.8

As u can see the lower the temps the greater the amount of O2 the water can hold

Try to move the conteiner close to the a/c so to get the maximun "coolness"

In my case ambient temps right this moment are 44c+ , using 400hps +a/c i get room temp of about 26-28 .By placing the plant's pot to the main strem of air that ac brings out i get 23-24 at the pot , that lets me move the lamp very close to the plant as the heat that builds up at the visible part of the plant to be fightened by the cooled roots ( ofcourse i have 2 fans blowing on plant/lamp )

my hydro set up is a good one i made myself, the water always stays cooler no matter how hot it gets in the closet. My fan blows on the sides of the dwc unit and the shade from the plants keeps the dwc unit cool. water temp is no higher than 74F. Im worried about the fall and winter though because here in the desert it gets cold and snows sometimes. Im gonna have to change evrything from a hot season to cold season, which is adding heaters, less fans, close of ac vents, add more lights for more heat..on and on...I guess i need to move again to a more suitable indoor grow area. The desert is great for outdoor but indoor is very hard..new mexico grower

Alrighty folks its time for a pic or two of the schwag sativa(which is almost ripe, another 10-14 days will be perfect) on its 9th week. No were near the same amount of trichromes as the whiterhino but most pure sativas dont. Anyway she put on a lot of weight and when rubbed smells like asian fresh cut ginger, like the stuff in sushi..lol...maybe its time for me to eat. But this is as close as I can get with this camera. Still another 10 days for the NLxBB too. Ill get some pics of it later.[attachment=o149193]

here is a close up of the sativa, she smells more like ginger but sweet..humm..gingersnaps? sounds like a good name for her..lol.my whiterhino clones are doing excellent as is my gingersnap clones, im growing the clones in 2x2 rockwool cubes with sunshine mix in 12oz cups. Im noticing that growing soil during the high heat months yield better for me than the hydro, I start to get algea and high amounts of water evaporation plus i cant afford a water chiller.

[olliegrow]

thanks hightillidie..i see you also have the emily 6 plant wick grow kit too...how do yu like it?

[msalen]

good job olli , even the sativa looks real nice.

thanks everyone, the NLxBB are putting on there last bit of weight. They are on week 8 starting today. About 40% brown hairs and smell sweet. I took some clones from her with budz on them. Does anyone know about rejuvinating plants? My other rooted clones are going back into the veg cycle but look kinda sickly? Is this normal for rejuvination? peace
