Hi DHF - Peace, but I never got a PM from you dude. I checked my inbox and zippo, nada. I came over onto this thread and jumped up and down for your attention b/c I hadn't gotten a reply. I'm not complaining or anything of that sort. F*n A I've got this far solo and no one cept moi is shoveling so I'm good, don't sweat it.

I have a thread in this forum but didn't post it earlier 'caus I didn't want to be a dick on Dabs thread. Sorry, 49.5 yrs young and who f*n knows the rules to this shit...? that to me is a bit of trolling and publicity whoring. But what the hell I like a good fuck too.

Here is my thread, check it out if you like: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=276089

Sorry if that was bad form all, not my style to self promote on Dabs dime you know. Dabs is a bro tho so I'm sure he will forgive.

Peace
B. McKush

I dont care man. Sorry you cant get much help in your thread, ...I really dont know shit about it so i cant be of more help myself.



YO, I've never ever been one to go into my flower room at night....Naners scare me...But, I've had to go in there for a few minutes here and there throughout the last couple days...

Usually I'm not in there for more than about 5 minutes, but i usually use a lighter or a small keychain light if i need to see anything...

Yesterday, i probably went in their 4-5 times, trying to get the humidity up, and this morning ive already been in their once...

Think thats sketch?? Im on day 6 of flower..

Dabs spraying water everywhere will work but it's a pain in the ass in that you'll have to do it quite frequently. Here's another idea if the foggers won't work... maybe you can just put one of these on a cycle timer:

http://www.amazon.com/Orbit-30060-Arizona-Outdoor-Misting/dp/B000YAFTGQ

Downsides/difficulties:
-- getting the proper gph pump for this (the excess though could just be fed back into the res which you're using to pump water from)
-- making absolutely certain no bits of water hit your bare bulbs -- this will cause problems and may blow out the bulbs. So maybe run it on the floor w/ nozzles pointed up or hang it below the bulbs w/ nozzles hanging down.

Well to be honest McKush , I`m not sure I ever got your pm since I answer every 1 I get always.......may be a few days , but I get to em.....

I will say this , IC`s server disappears posts AND pm`s from time to time , cuz I`ve written mini-novels on numerous occasions and they went poof , but I`ll go check the thread and try and help Bro.....

EVERY new member that pm`s I tell em to start a thread so other experienced members can help as well as me , while lotta other folks can learn via the thread......anyways....

How`s it hangin Dab`s.....Once stretch is over yas need ta start cleanin out the insides away from the mainstem before too much budset , so as ta allow airflow up inside the plants while allowing better lumen penetration and plant absorption......and...

Keepin plant energy focused on swellin all the main laterals and tops within contributing to larfy ass popcorn and sucker branches.....Big plants are a learned thingy....bet on it....but....

Once the right hybrids are found , it`s hard ta keep em from getting real big by end of cycle with dialage....

Peace.....DHF.....:ying:......

YO man...happy to report, plants are pretty much back to normal. They're breathing real good, looking good, and overall looking 180* from a few days ago. Thanks for the quick, accurate diagnosis on the VPD. Things obviously could still be better in there (lights are only on 50%, fans only kick on every 30 minutes), but there is NOTICEABLE growth. Hella actually. Leaves are perky and standing up...

So, i finished training them...Took about 10 zip ties per plant, but got them pretty evenly distributed across the trellis..

About the insides, I was planning on waiting till the end of stretch and then start taking of the bullshit. Im training them back along that screen, and flatening them out, so there wont necessarily be an "inside". They will be flattened bushes with a front and a back...I think this allows for even penetration throughtout the canopy, and creates a equal (or close to it) distance between the nugs and the bulbs...

Here, see for yourself.

Gotcha....Layin em out sideways and weaving limbs around the ones beside em to create wall of nug.....No larf.....

Git er dun.......Gladta see em perkin back up , just stay on top of em till the excess nutrient uptake and transpiration keeps RH at acceptable levels for swellage during lights off....

I never got mine below 50% durin late bloomage , but if your RH drops dramatically again , they`ll stop swellin OR eatin , so pay close attention since it`s a new location.....good luck....and....

Im hoping with all the vegetation, and the foggers, it should be close... We will see!!

I will make sure to keep on it, lesson learned man!

Bottom line "consistent" returns depend waaaaaay more on environment before watts per sq ft EVER did...

Once stretch is ABSOLUTELY over , and there`s no more vertical OR horizontal growth , then start cleanin all the flarfy sucker branches off the main laterals , as well as all lower and inner big fans with stems....

Inner meaning inside the flat bush areas to allow more airflow and light penetration.....anyways.....Carry on and rock dat shit.....

Peace.....DHF.....:ying:.....

Ah - Good. I'm in a position to need the collective brain power that is icmag then... I want the best ventilation possible in order to be as consistent as possible.

I have a 450 cu ft lung room and 480ish grow room. My room is entirely opened and in progress. On my thread I'll post a pic and hand drawing of what I think I should do after the holidays. any advice is appreciated if you know your shit - if you know what i mean, Peace.

It is such a pain in the ass..I'll look into it if these foggers dont ship...Still waiting for shipping confrimation :comfort:

I rock 12 lights in colorado. I use a swamper to get the rH up to where it should be. just dump the water out of it once of a weak and the cholorine in the tap water should keep nasties from brewin in the pads. alot cheaper than those foggers. i put my swamper on a titan rH controller that was about 100$. I think i said props to buying a house at 23 earlier but after re reading your threads didnt see that post so just had to say way to go again. the dsw dude is just a hater hes fifty and doesnt have a 12 lighter yet. lamo people hate so hard on us young fellas rockin it out. i hope you keep the thread going. your build is going to help me a build out a similar build.

The pics arent hosted on Icmag..

And they automatically resize in my browser, and on my phone, and on any computer ive used..

I dont have the time to upload all this shit to my computer, resize, upload to the net, post, etc.

This'll have to do.
