He uses cal mag one day, then the cal nit the next. They are both specialty products actually. The cal nit is more so for 2 part salt blends like jacks etc. but he’s just fine tuned it to utilize as a foliar. I don’t foliar anymore as I found it just introduced pm here and there with susceptible cultivars but I do the same thing essentially through top feeding and utilizing kelzyme and wollastonite rock dust plus cal mag
Ahh yeah I don’t want anything to do with PM and I already have high humidity so it might not be the best idea for me

The humidity in the flower room is 71* now. I’ve got four 12" fans going full tilt and two 6" exhaust fans running a hell of a lot. My big dehumidifier is barely making a dent in the lung room. As soon as the heat gets way up and the heat exhaust kicks in, it drags in a whole room full of damp air. The cycle continues before the dehumidifier can catch up. I don’t know what else I can do. They’ve been defoliated as much as I would ever want to already.
It’s a quandary.
Oh the joys of climate control. lol

You can put a little dehumidifier in the tent/ grow room. But this heat and weather we get every summer is somewhat part why I shut down for a few months in the summer. My room gets hot and humid as all get out.

Yep. I’ve considered doing one big Winter grow. With just me and my wife (rarely anyone else) I don’t really need to grow all year.

Yeah that’s kinda my thing, it’s just me so for real I will grow more than I need. So summer time I just focus on some outdoor veggies to make salsa and stuff.

I try to grow year around what I’ve done to combat the heat is I have a portable ac unit for the 4x8 and a dehumidifier in the tent ( i have a dehumidifier in the 4x8, 5x5, 4x4, and one in the basement not in a tent). To further add to the cooling I opened an 2 old holes in the hvac and ran a 4 inch tube from it to the ac unit intake so it doesn’t have to run as hard. Ive also done this further up by my 5x5 and the drying tent so I can plug it to one or the other (the 5x5 veg tent or the 4x4 drying tent) and that helps keep things cool. With any extra bud I have I will either turn it into infused oil, butter, or dab because I don’t like smoking anything that’s been hanging around 8 months or longer and anything that I would is usually smoked up before then lol

Got in a package from @Ronsonmatsuo4 and I gotta say a mighty thanks is in order! This is one hell of a package and im so thankful! Idk what half of these strains are and 2 are labeled but no names so maybe I can get some further input or plant them and see what comes for fun. 2 packs of these seeds were just monsters ive never seen seeds like pea sized before. Either way very cool and very much appreciated brother! Also I can’t wait to gather all these postcards for my dad and give them to him for his birthday he’s gonna be so excited

That’s a formula for consistent plants. Everyone has a surly plant now and then. Since you got those HLGs dialed, you’re on a friggin’ roll!

A quick check in on the face off and it seems they are ready for cal mag and some bumped up nutes. Talked to my mentor for this project @leetdood and he said it’s time to add some cal mag and bump up nutes from 40% to 60%. The rest of the ladies in that tent are getting big quick now! The face off ladies are getting good and rooted they will be ready for a top and transplant soon and im thinking 1 gallon rain science bags for all 8. If I do add the gary payton or banana OG it will be either a solo cup or 1 gal. Trying to stray away from solo cups because I don’t want to water more than 1-2x a day

I’m waiting for these ladies to get big enough to top before transplant ideally. It will be top give a day or 2 to recover then transplant to 1 gals. Looking to get to the 5-6th node before topping
