Yes sir! I currently have the light at 60%. I grow in a cellar that gets really humid this time of the year so I have to run a dehumidifier which makes it hot in there. The walls are stone and about 12” thick with no windows so there’s no easy way of venting it for AC. It’s a perfect environment to grow in October through April but this time of the year is rough. By the time I fill my reservoir, mix the nutrients and adjust the ph I’m sweaty AF :rofl: once these three are done ima shut er down for a few months

When I first started growin I used 1000 watt Mh/Hps and my temps stayed in the 90’s

But it was still damn good smoke. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do and you making the best of it! :flexed_biceps:

Oh yea it’s still fine smoke, plus I think the yields are higher. I miss my old setup though the tent temps there were mid 70’s at 100% power in July. Got great colors and super frosty buds with lower temps

I have noticed that the cooler temps do decrease yeilds a little. And I ve also realized I been doin it a little too soon. And drooping it too much. My Next grow should improve.

That’s some pretty stuff there My Brother!

Do you use a metal mold to pre press your flower before squishing or just stuff and squish? This time I just cut the buds off two stems and stuffed them into a 160 micron sack by hand then squished at 180 for 2min after a 90sec warmup. Wax was oozing out :face_savoring_food:

Yes I use the round pre press molds. They are much better than the square. Plus you can get 2 screens out of one. By cutting it in half
:victory_hand::love_you_gesture::oncoming_fist:

I’ve pressed flower without the screen just make sure you get the stems and don’t press as hard. And I use 90 micron bags. I know I loose a little but it’s some good :poop:

We have another Larry Bird above dirt. :crossed_fingers:t2: she’s hardier than her sister :joy:

Starting this round a little differently.

I usually keep my sprouts under an old 200watt T5 fixture the first 10-14days for the heat. Since it’s been so hot here lately I’ve had these under my Xi750 set 24” above the pots at 20% with the UV on. So far so good​:+1:t2: I was afraid they would stretch so I left plenty of room to backfill later but they seem happy​:grin:

Looking good I had a problem with one of my Larry Birds too but the second one did good. Your first damped off. Glad the second is doing better. :folded_hands::victory_hand::love_you_gesture:
