my issue is i've chopped my 1st five plants and it's all good. one more is getting closer and last one has started to flower. had two unknown teens from seeds i got from buds i was gifted.
so, here's my issue. i was going to give them that 600 hps light to veg them bigger. they were transplanted a week ago or so and i put them in the flower spot last night and then decided to just leave them there to sex them. i rather sex under 18/6 veg but don't have a lot of options or space. i veg in a small closet space with one shop light and 3 x 9w leds.
so, if one is a male i was going to hit the last female up on a few lower branches just for beans. no real chucker project, just want to see what might be created from them. i know the cross has never been done before though. chucks like that often produce unexpected cultivars though.
since the last female is already on her way i guess i'll just leave any baking beans until the plant dies/the beans start to fall off the tree ha.
biggest issue is i want to get some more started but not sure how much longer the pandemic will keep folks from inspecting my house. i would hate to trash good stuff.
option 1. start some and make two moms for prevent defense clone and flower after 2/3 weeks
option 2. choose something to run 12/12 which i have never done before
option 3. after sexing the two already put in 12/12 yesterday return a female to veg so i can clone and run them.
running a 600 hps vertical in the basement. no exhaust or filter needed with the strains i chopped. that could easily change with the other genetics.
basement ceiling height sucks maybe 6ft max. i do have a brand new gorilla shorty unused, new filter and exhaust fan etc.
so, does anyone exhaust out into the area the tent is in without issues. i figured scrubbed air is scrubbed air regardless. i don't have a way to exhaust outside in the basement. at least that i'm willing to do. i want to keep all appearances the same to do the shit with none ever thinking i'm growing.
if i put the tent upstairs in a bedroom heat is waiting approx ambient temps 80-90 deg's inside. which means an ac window unit is a must imho. i can exhaust out of a window then. but how would u set up the ac in the window and exhaust air out the same window ? or can i just exhaust inside the room and let the AC keep temps in control ? i don't want to spike my electricity use to make it seem suspicious. i don't pay the bill direct and never see it. all my utilities are paid with the rent.
yes, those are multiple issues smdh.
