Haps At The Grow Shack

[superpsy]

Papaya Sherbet is 12 days now and coming on pretty good. By 14 days it will be at acceptical size. The Orange Presidents are at 7 days and have done better the last two days. Being autos they really need to get in gear.

The Papaya Sherbet is 14 days/2 weeks old. And she is doing ok. She got a quart of water with Stash Blend right in her local root zone. Then ring watered her with a quart of Recharge. Waterings will ramp up soon as she grows. She had been at 24/0 lighting @ 250 ppfd. I changed her to 20/4 and 300 ppfd today and will walk her lighting up for a few weeks. I also dropped her humidity down to 65%.

The Orange Presidents are slow as hell for auto's. They may not make it. There at 260 ppfd, 24/0 lighting, 78f and comfortable. It's like they just won't get out of first gear.

Your autos are right on time. They are the slowest creatures..lol

Decision has been made. Been going back and forth for a long time. I will be getting a Gorilla Pro 4 x 4 tent. The 3 x 3 or 2 x 4 will have to go, can't keep them both. Would prefer the 3 x 3 to be the odd tent out. But it may well be the 2 x 4 because of how my office is setup. Won't have to buy anything else but scrog net. Have all the lighting, ventilation, humidification and control. Got the tent and high cfm kit in the cart on there site. Just waiting for there coupon offer to complete the purchase then move forward.

The 4 x 4 dream is dead. I started tearing apart the office yesterday afternoon and evening and mocking up a 4 x 4 install. I would need to shorten the ceiling fan blades by 4" and it would completely destroy the flow of my office. Not to mention the aesthetics. Not that there is much to look at. But as a office/cave it ain't bad for a man. And the wife even enjoys being in here at times. She does like a man vibe atmosphere. She helped with the mockup and tearing stuff apart. And we both looked at each other and knew what would be lost wouldn't be worth the gain. As much as I dislike the 3 x 3 it does fit properly. We spent hours measuring, moving stuff around, laying it out and playing with options on the computer. In the end 6" killed the dream.

All good. Ya can grow a lot in a 3x3.

It sucks,,,, 2 x 4 is a more useable size. Anything is better than a 3 x 3. I'm doomed to 3 x 3 hell....

 

[greenmobster440]

What sucks is not having room for a tent at all.

The Orange President autos are 14 days / two weeks old. They are healthy,,, but darn near runts in my book. It's ave. temp 77.9, rh 67, vpd 1.09. Not as stable has I would like but there has been some massive swings because of okie weather swings that affect this old shack of a house, lung room. Brought the ppfd up to 300 for a dli 21 heading into the 3rd week on a 20/4 light schedule. They are now on the butt chugging ACI XL base's. I did ring water them today with a qt. each of water with a 1/8 tsp of Recharge and Stash Blend mixed into each qt. These things need to get going and growing.

The Papaya Sherbet photo will be 21 Days / Three Weeks old tomorrow. Week three it came alive. Conditions are the same as the Orange Presidents. Brought the ppfd up to 400 for a dli of 29 @ 20/4 light schedule. It got 1 gal. of water today with a 1/2 tsp of Recharge and Stash Blend mixed in. I like how it looks and how it got in gear last week.

Seed shopping is done for 2025. A good selection of some semi unique genetics and white labels across the board. Nothing earth shattering and some good free beans for noobs as I run across them face to face for the next year or two.

The two Fastbuds Orange President autos made 21 days yesterday. The lone Fastbuds Papaya Sherbet photo is 28 days today. One thing I forgot to address when I put the soil together for these grows was a Calcium and Magnesium component. So I got a small 2 lb. bag of Azomite Rock Dust. This stuff is very very finely ground like baby powder so I will add a Tsp per. gallon per pot just as a backup that will become available quick for the plants if needed without overdoing it.

The Orange Presidents IMO are still small for there age. Being in 10 gal. bags does not help in the looks dept. But otherwise healthy. Did some leaf tucking today with the temps averaging 77F, 65% RH and 300 ppfd. I'll get the Azomite top dressed in and get it watered in when the bottom feeding system runs dry in a few days. I will be moving the humidifier outside the tent in the next few days.

Orange Presidents Autos, 21 Days.

The Papaya Sherbet photo has came on strong in the last week. It looks good in it's 15 gal. bag. Have done some leaf tucking. Will add 15 Tsp of the Azomite Rock Dust soon and give it a good watering. It's been at 77F, 65% RH and 400 ppfd. It really does not want anymore light at all. Got a very lite leaf tip burn all over the plant caused by the Gaia Green and Worm Castings coming on hard over the last week. So I will let it go a couple more weeks before I top dress. If it keeps coming on hard I will flip it to flower in a couple of weeks and top dress for bloom. Seems to be doing good.

My thoughts on all this AC Infinity stuff I bought. In a nut shell,,,, China Junk! One of the humidifiers always over shoots the setpoint by 5% the other one 1.5%. The Ai is crap. And it's really not Ai just preprogrammed BS that is very poorly done. If you set it up in manual mode then it's nothing more than a 69 Pro+. It's very buggy and unstable. The Controller Ai external temp and rh sensors don't give true ambient readings. If mounted on the tent the unit will heat soak and give high temps and low rh readings. If away from the tent it will take sometimes hours to get the real temp and the rh will read high by as much as 10%. And then if in one of the Ai modes it effect's nothing concerning how the unit operates. So there is no primitive operation or learning. If it does do something it's not noticeable in the graphs or just watching it operate. In either Ai mode it wants to run the exhaust fan all the time. So if your wanting to scavenge heat from your light to help heat the tent,,,, nope that won't happen. In the Ai modes you can set it up to turn the exhaust fan off and have it come on once temps hit a set point. But then it at some point will stop working. Or not work at all. I've set here and watched it cycle and work as good as it's going to. And then just stop turning on the exhaust fan. The way it is now this junk does not maintain my environment as good over all as my old Inkbird and old AC Infinity controller 67 and exhaust fan did. Now to be fair if everything comes together it can work better for 2 to 4 hours in a light cycle than my old setup. And when it does that,,, it's impressive. So in 24 hours it might work right for 4 hours in one of the Ai modes. The humidifiers use almost twice the water my old system does because the exhaust fan runs 24/7 on a min. of speed 1. My old system met my need didn't run the exhaust fan 24 hours and only used 1 gal. of water in 24 hours and held tighter tolerances than this system does in manual mode. Without better programing it's a do not buy setup....
