Light during 12/12 dark period, how bad is that?
Hey Guys thanks for the input. I had left the lights on for as couple extra hours one night to work and shifted the on off period slightly to make working in there during light hours possible at a more convienent time and began to wonder. I think the biggest concern I have had (being my first indoor) that I have had a problem with was the heat during the recent heat wave. Managing nutes has been pretty easy to control with the hanna ph/ec/ppm meter. ventilation I have as far as exchange of fresh air.
A few improvisions and it has been going ok. have had to use peet gravel in my medium on a few later buckets, hopefully that shouldn't make too much difference .Have had one soil plant take a bad nute burn but I look at it as lucky it was only one and at least now I know what it looks like and can avoid it. have popcorn buds on a couple scraggly plants not sure why when the rest are doing what appears to be normal(only have a couple more but giving the comparison). Can't think of anything else I have had problems with other than , water syphoning back through the pumps, watering methods( shifted to drippers and manual watering), getting light timers correct,plant spacing, and knocking over my home made bubble cloner (with about 4 or 5 gallons of water in it)and flooding the room. LOL what a trip that was. Amazingly the clones survived and are still rooting so its working. Just thought I would mention some of the problems I have ran across so maybe some newbies can read be aware of, prepare and avoid having the same problems.
post is getting a bit lengthy, sorry but one last thing ZANDOR buddy you may enjoy this little bit of info .... I have one TREE and two that are looking like they could be getting there too!!! But the one I have had to tie down in five different directions now and must have 25 side branches standing up already , thick frigging stock and it has damn near consumed 1/3 of my grow space. Huge fan leaves its spread over about 5 feet by 5 feet and is already still 4 feet high and growing. Leaving with one problem .....Space ... I'm running out of it lol
ok ok I'll stop thanks again everyone( Bob Bong - good point about the abient light thanks)
Peace everyone, Bill
