So I've been busy with setting up a new indoor grow room and things have been going relatively smoothly except for a couple persistent snags - temperatures are too high, humidity too low.
I live in South Africa and it's pretty much summer now with temperatures reaching 35 Celsius some days. At the moment I don't have much money to spend so there's the air circulation system pulling air from inside my house and a swivelling fan inside the grow area - no aircon or climate control of any kind.
Temperatures inside max out at 31 Celsius almost every day, dropping to around 22 at night with humidity being a consistent +-15% or so. I thought, "Its going to be a while before I can get an aircon in here so I might as well just try grow something, I know these are hardy buggers!" I've got some unknown seeds that I am planning on experimenting with before germinating the real deal just, in case.
This is the result, before I called it quits. Both plants are 6 weeks old.
Ive done a ton of research into what it takes to grow these girls and I'm certain I have my lighting, watering, air etc nailed close enough to where they need to be, which means that the state of these plants is almost entirely due to temperature being too high and the discrepancy between min and max being too large + extremely low humidity .
I just thought someone might find this interesting and hopefully it will allow others to learn from my mistakes and not waste any precious, precious seeds!
