  1. Did absolutely nothing. Got hit with pm 2 days ago sprayed them properly with hydroliq and i saw new spots today. Disappointed for its price .
  2. Hey bud with this unit. Do you always have to be connected to WiFi? if the WiFi switched off or looses connection does it interfere with the switches settings in anyway? (Example) not turning off when it should or not coming on when it should as it lost connection?
  3. Your setup is awesome dude! what fan speed controller is that? Looks great
  4. These airpots have been working well so far. I picked up another 2 today . Definitely helped me with my watering as I doubt you can over water them in these pots .
  5. Week5. 06/05/2020 -Critical HoG exploding with growth , I decided to transplant a clone I took from one of her toppings at this point . To clone I used a small cup filled with coco/perlite ,I cut the clones stem at a angle and then dipped in Dynaroot powder. -Caboose slowly making a comeback but her stems and structure is very weak. Looks like she was suffering a deficiency at this point. From google it seems like a Magnesium deficiency. -Autoflower Glueberry OG starting to have some vigorous growth with some nice fat leafs . However the low humidity problem is evident on her leafs .
  6. Week4 28/04/2020 -Critical hog Progressing and new growth after topping is ready to be tied down to create the base of my mainline , New growths topped at this point (2nd topping) (pic 1) - caboose straggling along . Looks nothing like pics on internet either.( Pic2) -Autoflower coming along slowly. (Pic3) ***Side note regarding the gavita lights. While researching it was difficult to find the right height above canopy for the gavita 750w. I started my grow off dimmed at 400w and raised it as I went along. initially as per what I found online , I mounted light right at the top but I realized the girls were stretching to much especially since I was dimmed to 400w. Since then I had dropped the lights to 60cm above canopy and currently she is up to750w on power . When the canopy gets to 50cm from light I pick lights up to 60cm.
  7. Sounds like you have it dialed in properly bud. I’m Gona grab the unit on takealot as home grow is outa stock.
  8. Excellent idea. I actually went in last week to have a look at this unit at home grow depot. looks like a great little unit with nice features, the only reason I didn’t fit this yet is because I see that it’s a power on/off switch and doesn’t slow the speed of my fans . My thought process behind it aswell is that if it’s using temp and humidity it would be a confusing one. seeing that if fans go off . Heat and humidity will skyrocket quick , then fans will kick in have a buffer until it starts bring heat and humidity down. My problem is that when this happens , my humidity rate is dropping so fast compared to my temps rate. Where as temps starting dropping 0.1c the humidity dropping at a rate of like 10% in that same time frame. so by the time my temps come back down to 26c odd the humidity is like down in the 20s for a while. I suppose it’s better than my current situation of low humidity always , Think I may have to go with this option once I start veg on my next grow. I think once I add my carbon filter ( another rookie mistake , should have bought this in beginning) The Carbon filter should restrict my fan enough so that humidity can climb . Now that my girls are in flower and bigger humidity is a lot better . But in veg and seedling stage I had many days where she was sitting at 10% humidity if not lower ( the hygrometer reads down to 10% I think )
  9. Since she runs in the day if I put the extraction fan off and on in 15 min intervals on a analogue timer . She hits 32c max and can hit 80% humidity (too high for my liking) quick in those 15mins that the fan is off. so I just run it 24/7 now to avoid the high fluctuations on temp and humidity. when you say recycle the air do you mean vent the exhausted air back into tent?
  10. Week 3 21/04/2020 -Critical Hog doing well ,decided to top her at this point . -Caboose straggling along. Her first node has the single serrated leaf and her second node the same single serrated leaf not the usual 3 leaf . She gets weirder as we go on. -Auto Glueberry OG looking ok.
  11. Week 2 14/04/2020 At this point I start reading about growing properly and realize I need to PH my Tap water and perhaps use RO . ( I stuck to tap ) Critical Hog being 5 days ahead is doing ok besides the PH problem evident on her leafs. Caboose this has been a nightmare strain from the beginning. auto flower Glueberry doing ok .
  12. Hi everyone Just sharing my Grow diary on the following strains . Planted on 01/04 (critical) and 06/04 (auto and Caboose) Current strains -Dutch passions Glueberry Og Autoflower -T.H seeds Critical Hog (Fem) -Strainhunters -Caboose (fem) This is my first grow so I’ve made a lot of mistakes but that’s how you learn I suppose . My setup -Mammoth G1 tent (1.8x1.1x2.4) -Gavita 750w hps light -6 inch inline extraction fan -6inch in-line intake fan -4x clip fans (non oscillating ) -1x oscillating Clip on fan. -Humidifier (in the Room not the tent) because my extraction is too high running24/7 dropping my humidity way to low. Best humidity I’ve seen is 45% and lows of 10% average around 28% which is still way to low ( been battling getting this factor controlled especially with the heat the Gavita generates) Medium and nutes -24lt Rootbuilder Airpots -Ghe Flora coco nutes (Flora grow ,Flora bloom) -Gold label coco mixed with 20% perlite .(80/20) So i started by germinating my seeds by dropping them in a glass half filled with tap water . After 48hrs I transferred them to a light sealed container in between two paper kitchen towels and put this on the back of my laptop to stay warm. Once roots popped out I planted them straight into final pots .( in hindsight I should have started in a smaller pot and transplanted so I could have seen the difference myself) I decided to run my lights at night and let them sleep in the day but after 3 weeks into my grow being a newb I took bad advice and changed them to run lights on during the day . I did this change by running them straight 36hrs light on to change the times of light on/light off cycle. Here are pics of them starting out. I mixed up my desfran and critical seed when germinating and one didn’t pop . Based on the growth of the plant I guessed it’s the critical Hog that survived . Hence the plant tag says crit or Des Week 1
  13. Thanks for the warm welcome and kind comments . im still kaking myself every step of the way . Hoping to make it a successful first grow all the way through. Thanks for the suggestion. I will work on the grow diary post and use pics from the beginning so the progress can be tracked .
  14. Haha yes I see in your situation it may not be needed especially if you leave your tent open it would be pointless. im not lucky enough to live that far away from pests , my garden is right outside the windows of the room where my tent is so i need to filter my air in. I’m currently using the passive vent during the day and at night(When they sleep) I’m closing the vent and running a active intake with a ram bug barrier on both sides of fan . It works to filter out some dust , hair , bugs etc but does need to be cleaned almost every second day or restricts airflow heavily. I don’t see these bug barriers helping with pollen or smaller pests . I was looking at hepa filter type intakes but seems it requires quite abit of DIY .
  15. Thanks for this , my new tent I just bought is a jardin and I’ll look at the light bafffle as passive intake for the tent itself. so in the room the your tent is in there is no air coming into that room from outside? You sucking air from inside the house and exhausting out a window? Thanks. I’m not to great with the DIY so would love a complete paid for solution.
  16. Any further updates here with regards to what you guys are using to filter your intake air?
  17. Thanks for the welcome . I’m A Long time Stoner but first time grower . Hoping to expand my knowledge and learn from fellow growers Here. Decided to go with a indoor grow for my first grow as its out of season for outdoor and lockdown came, so took up a new hobby. Growing in coco/perlite with a Gavita 750w . Currently growing: dutch passions Glueberry auto Strainhunters Caboose T.H seeds Critical hog Here’s some pics of my girls started 01/04 and 06/04 ,just switched them to flower and the auto is about 2 weeks into flower now. I’ve Made a lot of mistakes so far but will learn from them and do better on my next grow. Can’t wait to harvest my own home grown
