Comes a Time, First Grow, Please Step Inside -- 2000 watt Sour Diesel

...I'm going to try to keep my fan off the entire time the lights are out. I figure my 9 by 11 grow area will have enough air, and it's very important to my that I keep my temps up during the night cycle.
!

I just switched to that exact fan thing 3 days ago when the night temps around here started getting really cold.
I have the fan plugged into the same time-clock on my main breaker panel that the lights are on so all my flower room systems are only operational during lights on.
I have to say how this winter sucks for trying to regulate temps! 70 one day...3 days later it hits 0 degrees F overnight!!! WTF!

Thanks for the tip Cruz and attic. My humidity rose to about 80% so I went in there for the first time during their night cycle to turn the exhaust fan on. Noticed a few tiny light leaks, so those will be taken care of tonite (guess it's a good thing I went in there) I'm going to buy a d/h shortly, and get that in there for the plants on their off cycle. Curious if the light leaks did any damage to the plants, haven't seen any signs at all. Guess the signs I should be looking for with reguards to males (now four weeks into flower) is seed pods... anyone have a good link with various different pictures of seed pods? I doubt it will be a problem, I looked carefully the light wasn't reaching the plants, though you can never be too sure! Thanks gang.

Light leaks can also result in fluffier, lighter buds.
It's always a good idea to go visit your plants in the dark and sort of see what they see.

good advice stinky:thumbsup:

Yeah no shit, I should have checked more carefully. Well, hopefully no damage has been done, because it sure as hell is going to be completely fixed tonite. Also off to get a dehumidifier right now! I can actually hear my PG&E bill rising, its kind of weird.

Some bud shots, and canopy shots four weeks in... will be updating with pictures every week from here until harvest! Enjoy

Here are a few more pictures, one of a plant that suffered some damage to its main stem, hope she makes it... one is of a leaf that looks pretty sickly, about 10-15 leaves in the 32 plants look this way. Anyone got a clue? Last picture is of the tape I put on the spots where the white reflective matieral. Noticed some slight light leaks, nothing big at all. Hope it's not a problem.

So I got my dehumidifier home today from Sears, all excited to set it up for the ladies so they dont have to suffer the high humidity levels again tomorrow during their off cycle, and it's cracked! It will be returned tomorrow and will be set to 50% from then on (only on during their off cycle)

For their light cycle I have found that 15 minutes on, then 15 minutes off for my exhaust fans (at 75% speed) tends to keep temps/humidity levels pretty constant. Anyhow, enjoy the pictures guys and thanks for stopping by.
