alcid's pathway to happiness

Hello.

Thanks for the warm welcome, it is surely a nice place here.
Everybody is welcome in this thread, feel free to post what you want, criticism is appreciated. Each one teach one.
Questions are OK too, even tho i do not consider myself a master, just a hobbies grower.

I have the growing gear for 12 years now, sometimes i do not grow and do not consume cannabis, these days i grow…and vape :slight_smile:

What i like in growing is the fact you have always something to learn, it feeds my spirit. Plants make me happy, so i like to see them happy too.
As a grower you are like a captain of your ship, ready to put your hands in dirt and sail to a safe harbor. :wink:

I consider @hennepdesk and @eskobar my masters.
They do not know me, but i thank them a lot for the knowledge they have put online for us.
I’ve been a lot on Opengrow back in the days, learning from guys such as @anon33830044 @Hamme @Papalag @santero & hydronesia.
Never created an account before, so time to say it : thank you all guys ! :slight_smile:

I grow both in soil and mapito.
These days it is in soil, this is my first one with LED, i feel that i would need a higher tent (215 cm / 85 in) for a powerfull mapito grow. It will be the case in one year, after a 6 months summer break for work and a gear upgrade.

So right now it is,
120120200 tent (474780)
exhaust 500 m^3/h, carbon filter in the tent, 3 passive inlays
Led is Lumatek Zeus 2.9
200W dehumidifier
5 feminized Critical 2.0 in 25 liters pots, Canna Terra is the medium.
Hesi hydro nutrients (it works both in soil and hydro), full line except enzymes.

Girls have been vegged 5 weeks and we are currently at day 25 blooming.

Next run will be 5 Amnesia, in soil, supercroping.

I have to admit i’ve been tricked a bit by Leds, i feel they didn’t stretch as much as with HPS but i may be wrong, maybe it is genetics too, or both.
I found they are a little bit short (70 to 85 cm), so yield will be too, no big deal.

Dehumidifier is in the tent, it is plugged to a timer, when led goes off, it goes on. So humidity goes down and temperature goes up.(nice delta).
With this setup it is 28°C on / 24°C off
65 RH on / 45 RH off

I’ve put light intensity up during the grow, top cola is at 50 cms from the light, currently 100% power light, Photone says i am at 900 ish PAR and 38 DLI.

I know things are very technical these days, which is good in a way (no more bro science), but imo you have to know how to read the plants just with basic equipment, and then go your way up in technology.
I am new to led and dehumidifier, so i have to understand how they work, then we’ll see if investing in a humidity and exhaust controller is a good move, for now i do it by hand, best way to learn.

That’s it, photos next :wink:

So true most people these days rely on technology rather then on knowledge of the plant
