Ran them earlier this year, was quite pleased! They were beside Cali Connections Blackwater, and towered over them, had to shuffle around!

Ah, right on. I've only got 71" of total headroom, so they're gonna have to learn to bush out for me, lol.

Man, this heatwave can suck it.
I have my plants set to go dark from noon to 6pm in an effort to avoid running the lights during the hotter part of the day. Up until a few days ago, high temps in the tent were a steady 84. Since then we've had about four 90F+ days in a row here (yesterday was in the triple digits w/humidity) and even with the lights off, temps in the tent are 88-90. I've been watering them at midnight every night but damned if they're not still starting to heat stress.
I know they'll get through it, but it's just frustrating. The tent is set up against an outside wall that gets sun for most of the day, which doesn't help. My exhaust fan is also kinda garbage, which I didn't know until I bought it and set it up. It's one of those inline booster fans, not a proper exhaust.
Oh well. Just bitching a bit. Time to medicate and keep on with the day. More pics soon!

Tell me about it. I'm in the basement and the tents are still at 89F. Think I am finally going for that air conditioner.

That sucks, man. I'm hoping to be upgrading to a proper fan here in a bit, and moving everything to the other side of the room. Hopefully that'll help some.
I was sick of blowing through 500 dollar window Ac's. The local grow shop has brand new 12k btu comfort star minis for 800 dollars. Then was offered this Mitsubishi by the installer who just took it out of a larger room nearby. It was used but for the same price so I threw it in instead as it's 32 SEER vs 17. I gladly paid for installation with 3oz of the finest. Have temps up around 80 and humidity between 60-65 to conserve.
Turned out great, and yes mine is also heady which I found somewhat strange being a mainly indica strain. Ended up with 3 nice oz and 1 oz of popcorn which I should've used it better than just ISO hash, yuck! Had it lab tested and It tested out at 20% max thc and 23% thcA and almost 2% terpene got it terp tested too, was pleasantly surprised!

Oh man @BigSm0 I wish. I have a good 10k BTU it's 12 EER so pretty efficient it should do a 10x10 room to 80 with very little effort. It has an economy mode that shuts it down when temp is reached. Just have to take out the window and frame in the AC unit.
Spits are the way to go though. Saving my pennies for one for the main floor of the house. You just can't beat the efficiency of those good units. Plus the heating aspect of the heat pump types. A 3rd option for heating.

Absolutely. That is a great12k for sure. I do my home with 2 units and it's a cozy 73 degrees 365 days a year. Nothing better than a 200 dollar electric bill in the dead of winter while it's the only heat source.

Nice, man. I got a little under 2.5oz, and 4 oz of fresh-frozen trim that I made into budder. Turned out hella green, but otherwise not too bad. :smoking:
