Fantastic to know!! TIL too!!! We’re pretty much in the deep freeze now. -31c with windchill the other day. Two of my growrooms 4 walls are outside walls…gets very chilly in there when.lights off
There is no such thing as wasted heat in a Canadian winter!

Day 30 Veg
Stuff’s blowin’ up, everybody’s putting in work. Including me. 1/2" vinyl tubing was invented by a sadist, I’ve been wrangling my flower tent’s feed setup into place and it’s taking a lot longer than expected. Got half hooked up to the controller, just 4 more pots to go…
EC swung to 1.2, PH is somehow still stable at 5.9, and the temps and humidity are great.
I’m waiting on a heater for my 55 gal drum reservoir that does 200w, then I’ll be able to move these guys to flower.
Some fat leaves there
Fekk yeah got the hard part of my tent build done with this active aqua kit.
I’m pretty happy with the layout, I need to do a fill test next after I set the float valves to proper height!
Nice set up
Day 1 Flower
Everyone is in their big boy/girl pants!!
This setup is a hefty amount of work up front but I feel like it’s going to pay off in ultimate laziness at this stage, just res maintenance hopefully.
Everyone was kickin ass and takin names and how did I repay them? By covering them with wet rocks.
Upped feed in new res to 1.4, ph is 5.9, res is super warm with with the new heater, 66!
Root systems looked OK on transfer.
Lights way low, all in their new homes.
These guys on the left are my “all star” selections for how they toughed out the cold spell I put them through, and general vitality.
This group isn’t bad, everything looks really similar in veg right now, but they had maybe weird starting issues in one, or susceptibility to bad conditions.
Really stoked to be rolling here!
Looking good should have trees in no time .
Flower day 4
About as boring as veg right now, which I guess I should be grateful for.
Zero transplant stress, just awesome, but had a HUGE 1.0 point PH swing less than 48 hours after I moved them, yikes! Thankfully it capped out at 6.5 and I caught it. Their EC also swung up to 1.4, but they’re happy so they just eliminated some work for me.
I haven’t even turned on my exhaust fan yet because the humidity in the tent is staying at 60%, which I think is great for this stage as they transition out of veg. Probably time to turn it on soon.
Sproing!
Flower Day 10
Things are on the up, PH keeps on swinging to 6.5 within around 48 hours. Gotta get that figured out eventually, but I don’t mind babysitting.
Peace to you, growing homies!
Left side (the chosen ones)
Right side (the plants I don’t feel as great about, though the one top left looks good)
@lefthandseeds stated his BDs went through the same kind of droop I’m seeing and we’re on identical feed setups, except he’s using slight modifications to jack’s.
More LITFA for 'em.
Happy friday!
Flower Day 24
Things are looking a bit fucky. EC keeps swinging up to 2.1, which they might not be fond of - oddly some are showing minor deficiency spots though. I watered the tank down to 2.0 because I figure they’ve been basically getting fed this for days.
I increased my lights to 100% and brought them to height so everyone’s getting 20k - that’s keeping the tent a balmy 70 degrees, RH is still struggling around 35-40.
LITFA I guess, that’s all I can do.
Weird things abound. I somehow caused my surge protector to flip for an hour, which killed mainly my lights for that whole time, yikes.
In any case everybody perked up a lot after I added a 3rd feeding.
One really weird thing in addition is I somehow have a male from what are feminized seeds!! Either a mis pollination or a mixed up seed, odd thing is it looked the same as my other plants. No idea, so I trashed it anyway.
Thankfully the male I pulled showed really healthy roots!
Top work sir
flower day 29
I had to move my lights to their own surge protector because I popped my single one again.
In any case they’re starting to chug nute solution and look great.
Tried to do a bit of leaf tucking also.
Looking good!
