i made some huge inprovements to my cab to battle heat issues of 95+ next to the cooltube. ouch thats hot. you tell where some plants got thier leaves burnt. they still have like 50 days so hopefully that will be enough time for them to heal up and not effect much.
the pictures pretty much speak for themselves. i tarped the plants, sawed a hole, installed my old SUN SYSTEMS SUN GROW reflector, and connected the air ducting.
------------ reflector -------air
fan--sucking air -----Y
----------- cabniet -----air
daytime air temp- 86f
night time temp- 68-74F
the new reflector improves the light footprint a bunch too. now all the plants get a good amount of light.
i also watered them today with, pure blend pro bloom, liquid karma, cal-mag plus, and sweet.
ill get some good bud shots right after the light turns off today. i hate trying to take pics under the flickering hps and it looks wierd and orange.
the heat in the cab isnt really that bad. its right next to the bulb that was getting hot. i over vegged the plants so it was my fault. im just glad everything is doing good now. and i can see all my plants better!
nows when things start to get exiting. buds i mean.
daytime air temp 83-85F
night time air temp 69-74f
i bought some dry BudSwell 0-7-0, bat, earthworm castings and seabird guano that im going to use the rest of the way through out flowering up till the flush.
today im going to water them with BudSwell 0-7-0 bat guano @2 tbsp per gallon. and PBP Bloom at 1/2 strength to supplelment N and K. and 10ml per gallon Cal-Mag plus.
How about an update? I like how you mounted the light in the top shelf I wanted to do something similar but had to leave space to keep my fan/filter/ballast all contained.
you got it norcal...day 33, i will take pics and update again later with day 35 once the lights turn off.
in my situation i have the ballast and fan outside the box so it makes things way easyer. i dont think you could do it otherwise.
this is a nug my freind grew at his house. same og kush s1 i have, he used gh nutreints and had low 70- temperatures the second half of flowering so it made it turn way purple.
Hi senseless, real nice grow you have there. I am enjoying your thread...
If you want to take photos under the HPS, most digicams today have a white balance function in the menu that will compensate for the orange light...you may need to experiment.
Here's a shot taken under HPS, properly white balanced:
It helps to also use the flash to illuminate the darker parts in shadow, like this:
Hope this helps and looking forward to the conclusion.
