Minty Grow Diary - GR420 LED Grow Off

oh well, looks like you have another 5 weeks to go.
plenty of time to bring it round, and let it pack on some heft.
are you using pk?. if you are hit it with a quarter dose this week, half dose next week, then a quarter dose the week after. it should help them bulk out.

Really mate, the packet definitely said 8 weeks from seed I think ;o) I'm cool if it does continue as was kinda worried it would finish yesterday..

I have no idea about PK etc but have some Canna PK1314 which I was adding just to boost the EC/PPM levels up but decided to stop as I have no idea what the fuck I am doing to be honest and just make things worse ;o)

If you wouldn't mind giving me a little more info on your comment that would be really appreciated mate.

My current schedule is as follows (30 litres):-



and to be honest one of the problems is that I do not know how much water the system actually contains so have been guessing and I suspect under guessing since day one.



On a plus side - I can only improve from here ;o)

Air con finally arrived and I likes it - still need to decide how it will fit into the whole GRoom Build but I have high hopes as the 3x dedicated ducts allows incoming fresh air stream, outgoing hot exhaust, and cold (10℃) difference into the tent. Putting the incoming feed also into the tent allows it to dehumidify as well.

Not fitted it into the loft etc yet but I have been running it with all three pipes just venting into the same room and it does cool for sure.

So far very impressed with the cooling and the noise levels (it does sound louder in the video than in real life) and it looks like a nice bit of kit which is portable.

well for the pk , your canna pk is the same stuff, so add some of this to your res. have a look on the bottle for doseage, and put in 1/4 of what it says, then next week 1/2 of what it says, then the week after 1/4 of what it says.
your ec shoulldnt really be above 1.4 total, and put the ph to 5.9, for this part of bloom, letting it rise to 6.5, then ph down it again to 5.8.

hope this makes sense.

It doesn't cope with the main tent because the ambient temp is still fucked mate - I was stupid to think it would to be honest, but I do still have high hopes for it being able to lower the temps 10℃ and control humidity in a smaller shall we say 'drying tent' such as the Green Qube GQ60 that I won ;o)

I will stick up a GrowRoom walk thru on my main diary to show you what I have up there buddy - I just think all the advice about insulating it is what I need to take on board.

For KBag and all you other dudes that love to see GRooms - I know I do

Mine is real small and not finished yet off course (Not sure a GRoom will ever be finished ehh).

These videos were taken while trying to work out how to insulate the loft but you should get a general idea of my growing area and what I have to deal with from these:-

Wow minty love it but you have made it hard if you now want to insulate the loft. The correct way to do it would be strip the loft out insulate the whole loft with 150mm kingspan or celetex then board it. As you have it now a option would be to insulate the tent as best possible. On another note that Auto plant is going to beast by the end.
