I am thinking about wrapping the plumbing, but raising the temp a few degrees to 63F got rid of the condensation.
I had to cull three of the four seeds I popped.
Rats.

Growing from seed has a downside too; at least you could clone the survivor if it's female...

I had three clones (WW) growing alongside of them so not a total loss.
I was just pissed because one of the seeds was going gangbusters.

Yeah, that happens, gardening isn't like chemistry eventhough there's a little chemistry in it.
You should start a new thread for your new grow so people can learn and it'll be easier to follow.

OK, I will start a new thread when I harvest the current one.
No answer yet from CLW on the ventilated fixture.

hey dwcled,
i saw on another post you did a WW grow. I've got 4 going right now at end of 6th week. i read that the creator of the strain recommends either no light or only 8 hrs for the last 2 weeks. to stop growing and produce resin.
have you heard of this?
do you anything like this at the end of flower?
i'm kinda hesitant to do it until i hear that it actually works.
thanks, rky

I wouldn't do it. YMMV...

Just a comment on the current grow in week #7.
I used "Bushmaster" as I am limited as to how much height I can put up with.
Well, things were going pretty good till I swapped out the soup.
Three days later and the stuff "took off" and is now bumping the light and I can't raise it further.
I have had this problem before, and the next thing I am gonna try is either no veg or very little, and maybe straight to bloom phase.
Still waiting for CLW to get back to me on that ventilated fixture they were working on.

I'd be interested to see the label on that bushmaster stuff but it's not allowed for sale in my state. Kelp can be good for plants but I'm curious about what, exactly, is in there. I'd imagine it's mostly PK with a lot of micro elements from the kelp too.
From what I read, you're supposed to apply it between veg/flower, 7 weeks in may be too late but I'm not sure.
How tall did you veg this time? From seed or clone? How tall are they now? The less veg time the better with LED grow lights. Time to get some string and bend/tie down what you have now though...

I use the stuff like you are supposed to ( have been using for about 4 years).
Was right after the transition to bloom phase (5 days of week #4).
Held the growth at just the right height, but after the soup swap and the Bushmaster was purged, the crop took off.
Weeks 5 & 6 there was nothing I could do but watch it grow.
I LST what I could.
