New Grower 1st Stealth Grow PC Style DWC

CB has some weird coloring with purple hues in new growth that seems to green out as they grow. Is she ok is this a deficiency of some sort? Or is it a gene thing? Comments please. Ppm 120 ph5.7 fluctuates to 6.5 every 12hrs or so FYI.


I installed what I call a "root pep show hole" jus to be to be to look into the res and make sure everything is good down under, jus cut a flap in the tape and Mylar surrounding the res. you can see CB root in the back floating in bubbles!!!! She loves it!

Roots are growing at a nice rate I think, again this was yesterday afternoon only 4 days above ground and there 10 inches long with nice root hairs.


Thanks again everyone for stopping by, look forward to everyone's input and jus even looking. Thanks good karma blown to the whole AFN Fam. Will post today's update later.

Damn zaza thats the rubber maid cab your made, Looking real good bruh!!! and i have that same tape lol. 4 weeks and looking hella good!!

Thanks OOOGaUTO ! Yes The 3M tape is catchy hehe...Here are pics of the whole rubber maid setup Bruh! I got the idea from a friend but I tweek it as I go along . Let me say Im ready for cold weather as hot weather with my box.....I havent even needed to use the 4 inch exhaust fan yet because the thing is so efficient! When it gets a bit warm I just use the PC fan and it does the job. I am sure when the hot weather comes the larger fan will do its job but so far the lady looks incredible. Let me know if IMG_0297.jpgIMG_0298.jpgIMG_0299.jpgIMG_0300.jpgIMG_0301.jpg

Lmao the plot thickens daily lol. Thanks a lot for your comments appreciate it bro, I want to be as specific and detailed as possible so everyone can really be apart of it and really give their insight. Would love to see your future hydro set up you should do it! Based on your current set up it'll prob be like the presidential suite cab! And thanks for the rep brother!!:booya::dance2: rep coming your way :slap:
 
Day 9 of Germ, Day 5 Growth

Babies still growing at the same rate and roots double everyday. I'm happy how they are reacting to the AN (lil less than 2ml per A&B in 1 gal.)& Voodoo Juice (lil less than 1 ml in 1 gal) around 1/8-1/9 strength. Ohh yea and forgot to update on the Amphetamine Auto (AA), she should sprout sometime tomorrow so looking good with her but the Trans Siberian still nothing so I'ma officially RIP her. Here's a couple update pics.

Cab Temp 78-88
RH 20'-30's sometimes in the 40's
Res Temp 65-69.4
Ppm today 144
Ph 5.6 fluctuated to 6.4 brought back down to 5.6

Roots are looking killer! keep it up:check::smokebuds:
 
Yoo Herbal thanks a lot man appreciate the comments and your valuable input and right on time :thumbs:

- Experienced some high temps in the upper 80's due to spring weather, hight temps outside. I have an 80mm inside the box and then another 80mm attached/stacked to double the power and I have more 80's laying around you think if I drill another exhaust 80 mm outtake next to it would suffice??? What you think bro?

- Just moved them up they're about 4 inches now. And your correct there's 3- 23w 6700k and 1- 13w 2700k. Also I was actually looking at the same Blackstar 100w LED UFO your about to get I emailed Lighthouse for the actual depth since all they gave was the 7" diameter and what's the minimal hanging limit (for our tight spaces) still waiting on response maybe you can tell me bf them.

- The third baby is Amphetamine Auto which is supposedly very short and compact so hopefully it really is so it doesn't get too too tight& why do you think Flowering will be tough?

Herbal thanks a lot for taking your time to stop by and check my journal and dropping micro knowledge :key: much appreciated and look forward to your next visit! :smokebuds:

no problem bro! just hoping that i can help out a fellow grower. no sense of keeping all the knowledge to myself.

1) - Experienced some high temps in the upper 80's due to spring weather, hight temps outside. I have an 80mm inside the box and then another 80mm attached/stacked to double the power and I have more 80's laying around you think if I drill another exhaust 80 mm outtake next to it would suffice??? What you think bro?

you have 2 80mm fans stacked on top of eachother? -- im not sure if that ideal or not (havent done that myself -- so im not sure if thats effective at all or not)

as far as adding another 80mm to make it cooler -- it could work but that would depend on how much CFM the fan has.
if youre adding a 80mm with a 30+ cfm that would be useless as it wont be exchanging the air fast enough
(i went through so many fan set ups myself -- check out my 1st grow for the heat problems etc)

i would add a 120mm in there (higher cfm the better atleast 110 -- add a speed controller for the noise) [unholy was the one that pointed me to the 120mm direction]

to give you an idea of my fan set ups. (exhaust)
- started with 1 80mm 30+ cfm = was hot as hell! about 10-15 above room temp
- added 2 more 80mm fans 40+ cfm (3 80mm fans in total) = still hovering around 10-12 above temp
- added a 120mm 110 cfm fan (replaced the exhaust with 120mm + 2 80mm) = 3-5 above room temp

2) - Just moved them up they're about 4 inches now. And your correct there's 3- 23w 6700k and 1- 13w 2700k. Also I was actually looking at the same Blackstar 100w LED UFO your about to get I emailed Lighthouse for the actual depth since all they gave was the 7" diameter and what's the minimal hanging limit (for our tight spaces) still waiting on response maybe you can tell me bf them.

i know you got your answers already but ill answer again just incase.

they are about 3" deep height wise -- heat vents through the top
veg @ 8-12" ok (as close as 6")
flower @ 1" no bleach problem

this is what ive gathered through exchange PMs with the led users

3) - The third baby is Amphetamine Auto which is supposedly very short and compact so hopefully it really is so it doesn't get too too tight& why do you think Flowering will be tough?

flowering will be hard due to the cfl penetration and light distribution. (lst scrog or however you get the canopy leveled)

ideally youd want atleast 100w per plant (being micro we can get away with as little as 50w per plant)

but not only that -- 3 plants will be a very tight fit. also keep in mind that the plant will 2x-3x in size during flower
 
that was a long reaponse -- sorry for the long read bro.

your plants are coming along very well -- sorry to hear about the trans siberian atleast youll have more room to play with? lol
