Failures To Thrive

[damien50]

Welcome to my Failures to Thrive grow journal. I've been growing for around three years now and even my best buds are still my worst. I mostly grow Sativa varieties and my perpetual grow tends to be an illusion rooted in insufficient funds that avoids reality. So I'll break my gear and what's happening in the tent at the moment.

GEAR​

• HLG 480H 42A​
• Bridgelux EB2 3000K 1120MM strips x 12​
• Growpito Sim Mix​
• Growpito enzymes and beneficials​
• 5 gallon square pots​
• 3x3 Flood and Drain Table​
• Mega Crop​
• 4x4 tent​

So I'm growing 3 Jack Herer from Seedsman, 3 ZAMALDELICA X KALI CHINA from Ace Seeds, and 2 auto Diesel from RQS. All of them were freebies.​

Everything has just been flipped to flower after being transplanted a week ago, except the Diesel. I'll structure it more later lol.

What’s your lights on and off temperatures and humidity levels?

What’s your lights on and off temperatures and humidity levels?

78-86f ambient, ~81f leaf surface, and 62-68% RH

 

[Gweedo]

Im curious about ventilation as well thats a major key, getting that co2 exchanged

 

[Gweedo]

Was reading some good stuff on smart pots and air pruning to help get more tips going and less swirl in the rootzone if that makes sense lol

What are you implying?

350cfm fan on a controller exchanges air with an intake connected outside.

Do you have a dehumidifier?

 

[damien50]

Do you have a dehumidifier?

No, I just adjust my exhaust fan and controllers after a week of flowering. I'll be at 52.5-60% rh in a week.

I would adjust whatever you can to get the humidity down ASAP. Are you aware of Vapor Pressure Deficit? VPD Chart

It isn't a big deal, VPD is cool I just don't live by it.

Oh, OK.

I wrongfully thought you were looking for some help as to why your plants weren't thriving.

Sorry Bud.

Sorry Bud.

You're good. The title is satirical lol.

Ace Seeds ZAMALDELICA X KALI(2 days) - Seedsman Jack Herer(2 days) - RQS Auto Diesel(47 days)
78-87f Ambient
82-85f LST
64-70% RH
1.3 EC

All is well in the tent after stabilizing my environment and dealing with the frost that hit. Broken branch of the ZAMALDELICA dominant is healing nicely. The Jack's are regaining color after increasing the feed. Diesel plants are steady with about 3-5 weeks left.

Good looking plants man! I’ve been wondering about ace seeds and some of their landrace genetics. They sound real nice. I’ll pull up a seat if you don’t mind

I did a sativa but it was Malawi x Panama at 77 days. Nice to meet you though lol

Looks like they’re thriving now Bud!

Yeah, it's amazing what a hot glue gun, several bowls of kief, and snow in October can do lol.
