Summer/Autumn grow - more pheno hunting

[duke]

What temps do you try and keep during flowering bio, most people used to say keep the temps higher with leds but mostly I'm seeing about 26 c now and the buds seem ok I'm pretty new to leds and even with me growing indoors I struggle to keep the temps over 25 26 degrees. All looks good mate well done especially for such a low wattage grow

Nice result mate.
I know what you mean about temperature this year.
I'm just coming to the end of a grow and the CMH is going in the tent.
I think the plants do better around 28c with led.
What UV are you using and at what times?

I like the temps to be 28-30c ideally with LEDs but there hasn't been one grow this year where I havent needed to use the radiator and I can't afford the constantly rising energy bills any more
The U.Vs are from Migro and I have them on for 3 hours in the middle of the on cycle. Haven't noticed any burnt tips or anything so far.

hi bio i love my leds but only in the summer and i look forward every year to firing up the hps!
i figure its cheaper than running the 250w led and a 90w tube heater and then the heater is only on for lights out.
the old adage less is more is i find correct with led lights a world away from the early diodes that could not grow a decent daisy aye? my 120w qb from our friend @Forest is the best value lamp i have had in 40yrs of growing and costs very little to run even 18-6 is not a killer on leccy.
i look forward to winter tbh easier for this wheezy old fart to breath,cheers

@duke What HPS you use? In this space I would need 2x 600w lamps or at the very least 2x 400w, but I would rather use CMH probably 2x 315w I guess. But after this grow I'll have a new grow space with stable temps all year round thankfully, should be much easier than what I have been dealing with, plus I won't ever need to use the radiator again!

only 250w hps but its what i have used for years im only a recent convert to part time led use,forest told me about the way he uses the leds and no heater by using a duct pipe and small fan like computer fan and have it blowing the hot air from the top of the led where ballast is and blowing out at the plant level this i am going to fix up and test on one drobe maybe the tiny veg cab as it is easiest to keep warm,he uses no extraction as such i think maybe a step to far in the drobes though that.
never used cmh only fluros,hps/mh and now the leds so im no light geek,no heater would be nice,good luck buddy.

@duke Yeh I find it much easier to grow in smaller spaces, the humidity is usually lower so I can use less extraction. Tbh never really had any problems when using wardrobe or smaller tents, even when they were wall to wall rammo (my yields were not as good as yours tho). cheers

Not so much of the wheezy old fart Duke I think we're about the same age lol

Just seen your post about the seeds in another thread, what could be better in a pheno hunt you now have loads of weed which is a plus and also an almost endless pool of genetics in the seeds also a plus. I admit it's a pain removing the seeds but it will still smoke ok, I hope your not too disappointed it's been a great grow.

Fire looking grow mate as always nice and full canopy! Yeah smaller spaces are definitely easier to manage humidity I don't even use extraction at all in a little tent.. how long have they got now and what's on the cards for the next grow mate@biosynthetic ?

I'm not sure which plant has pollinated the others, the seeds probably have potential but I don't really like to grow bagseed. If I was gonna make seeds to grow with I'd be very selective about which strains to use in the breeding process. Gonna probably throw the beans away or eat them But I'm not that disappointed, I still have the cuttings and the seeded stuff is very strong and super terpy! I won't know how bad the damage is until harvest, we will see cheers

Giving em another week then harvest, next grow gonna be a little bit different with some regs included. Cheers
