Plant Addict!!
Hello everyone, welcome to my new thread!

I have put together a new setup and have pretty much automated the temperature and humidity settings.
The lights are on a 16 on 8 off schedule
Temperature is set to 72F day, 52F night. However the top shelf stays 5F-8F warmer when the lights are on.
Humidity is set at 80%.

Well enough talk, Here come some pictures :)

New Setup;

Ya know, I just got home and looked at the newest forming leaf and it DOES appear to be flowering! I can't even tell by that picture, Nice call Morbus!
 
  • #11
Well, it looks to be male so far. I was hoping for a female flower finally, but oh well, its still pretty cool.
 
  • #12
You'll find females a bit scarce overall. Out of all those that I've flowered, only one female yet.
 
  • #13
Bout time for an update, so I took a couple of hand held pics real quick.
Everything is beginning to thrive in the tent.
