New Grower Roleadro COB--Rookie

[bad dragon bzzz]

day 28-32 can see the growth in just 4 days
im not smart or techy enough to do any of the alexa siri stuff,i can see where it can automate everything in daily life "hey alexa if theres water in the kettle,make me a cuppa tea".
target temp 23c high+7c at 30c a cooling fan comes on.low-6 17c a tube heater comes on.the heater or fan then stops when target temp 25c is reached and everthing turns off,untill the next time temps go outside of 17c-30c 90% of the time neither heater nor extra fan is on
and get another started 2-3 weeks before this ones ready for harvest......10 weeks is a long time between harvests
keep er lit.

Thank you, after making some bubble bag hash from my last harvest, that took a lot of stuff, I just realized I am getting real low on stash. I had better get going with some more seeds! Hey alexa, get a new plant growing and make me a cup of coffee.

Day-32- Morning to all, Lollita is lookin good this AM. I gave her a drink of RO water, PH'd to 6.5 on 4/22. I missed out on the Easter eggs, I started, then an old friend called from up north, he was trying to teach me how to make a personal folder for his stuff on this damn computer! That took forever. Any way, Thanks @archie gemmill for all that good info, Flowers, Pistols, heck with them, its day 32! Break their necks, oh my! Iv'e got a Inkbird 308, thanks for the pic, from Amazon on the way for $35.00, free shipping, US. Iv'e been using a speed controller also, it helps, but it could be a lot better! @Beerhunter CDN, and @Tyler_Durden88 has talked to me a lot about the fancy toys that control the big fan. They were wireless units that worked with that talking computer thing, Alexia-- Sira??, I don't have. Someone else told me about a fan with a probe that controlled temp's, but I have a very nice Vortex 6" fan that came with a 10 year warrant that cost the same as the fan with a probe. Its only a couple of years old. I have all ways ran that big fan 24/7 before, I think I have learned by doing it by hand, the fan makes a big difference in temp's and R.H. Can't wait to get my new toy and experiment! Lollita will get her first nute's Thursday. Thanks again for all the help. Thanks to @Slater @ wagon, going to watch your grow for sure! Happy growing----View attachment 1050029 View attachment 1050030 View attachment 1050031

I always leave my fans on 24/7 with a speed controller you can get it dialed in witching a few degree deviation. I use my Alexa to control certain things and as a safety switch. I can cut power to my grow and exhaust system in a emergency and can control anything plugged in. But I already had the Alexa and the plugs were 20 bucks so it was worth it. I've accumulated and upgraded for years to have what I have now and don't need half of it but it's a addiction now to upgrade and grow my grow.lol

Day-33-Just cruising along, Lollita looks good Temp's at 80f, RH at 34% this AM. I am going to water and switch lights from t-5's to COB'S, It will be the first time for the COB's alone, still experimenting with the height? Starting to get that nice smell in the grow room. Correction, Will be the 2nd time I have fed her nute's, I did feed her 1 time in the solo cup. Tent will be zipped up tight from here on out, should have my Inkbird soon! Sounds like @Tyler_Durden88 , you have many years into this hobby. It would be nice not having to worry and fight the temp's and the RH so much. I've all ways ran my big fan 24/7? This new toy ought to be fun! It kinda makes since to cycle your fan on and off to control that stuff. Has any one seen the reptile infer red ceramic heater that doesn't put out any light, it just screws into a light socket? Saw it on amazon for $9.00. One more time, a pic of those COB'S, someone knows all about this light They work--

I have the IR ceramic bulbs for reptiles and it dosent work for shit. If you need a heater get a cheap little oil heater. Yea I've been growing for years and you gotta just get the hang of your setup and equipment the inkbird controller works fine. I have alot of air to move and run 2 400cfm turbo fans to keep down odor and heat in the summer. winter colder temps are harder for me bc you get spikes and drops from heaters and other things turning on and off.

Day-34, had a glitch, the pc had me cusin like a sailor! @Tyler_Durden88 , Thanks for the info on the heater, saved me $10.00. I have got a lots of learning to do. Day after Draft day baby!! @Tom'sinflatedballs, it was exciting to watch, in between Lollita and the draft, I have got to say it was a good evening all the way around! Lots of D! I switched from t-5's to the COB's yesterday at 5:00pm after the dark period. Played with the temp's and RH all evening-- I must have moved the 6" fans at least 5 different times! I set the light height at 36", kinda worried about that, not real sure ?? Zipped her up tight, said good night. This AM, Lollita is looking happy-- , she got fed 1 gal. of bubbled RO water this am--71/2ml. per gal. of both A&B sensi bloom, 21/2 ml cal-mag per gal--31/2ml bud candy per gal. , I think that is right. ,Temps at 76f- RH at 43% with tent shut all night. Her first day with the COB's, still waiting on that Inkbird------Happy growing---

You cant beat advanced nutrients. I use the sensi line and absolutely love it. Every time I try another brand I quickly run right back to AN. I use their supplements as well. Their voodoo juice,overdrive,big bud,sensi calmag xtra,and b52 are my favorites. And dont even mention the draft im a giants fan. Fucking JONES! Here's a pic of my white crack all dried and ready for smoke.

Hey Rick,

Looking good my friend....I am sitting around watching day 2 of the the draft....I am a DALLAS COWBOY'S fan....die hard.....I hope we can still be friends...LOL!!! You can gradually lower your light a little at a time searching for the sweet spot.... I am at 18 inches but have mine dimmed down. I will be at least 24 inches when at full power. You will love your Inkbird controller they make great equipment. I also use Advanced Nutrients and echo Tyler_Durden88 sentiments....They are more expensive but I have zero nutrient issues and get excellent results. Lollita is looking awesome, really happy with her environment.

Good luck,
Wagon
