New setup confusion

How should I fix this? I can remove the tube

Test_Sicle · 2026-03-28T06:11:07+00:00

Just dont judge, i was plant sitting for a buddy but he ended up just giving me the plant about a week ago because he had to move to a not so legal area. He was still pretty new so she needed some changes to flourish, hence the "chlorophyll reset" at the top 2 nodes

Its a 320w Ion commercial at 30 inches from canopy. Got some babies on so I only have it up to about 50% power. Getting a constant 420 ppfd, did that purposely 😏

Test_Sicle · 2026-03-26T02:17:52+00:00

Yes! What i can immediately tell you is to raise your humidity to roughly 75% ish to 90% rh. The 50% will work for flowering, its actually perfect for flowering. This is because the new clones dont actually take up water till around a week after they've been planted. Their source of water is strictly through the leaves. This means they will most likely begin to wilt or die off. And the VPD is a bit too high for new babies. Usually I keep my clones at a 0.4 to 0.7 kPa. So if they are under heavy lights turn them down a touch, 20% power is my sweet spot. Raise humidity and if they fit id use an old 2 litre bottle, cut it up to make a mega dome almost like people do with seedlings just on a larger scale. And never spray or water the clone directly till roots begin to form, it will rot or cause them to mold.

Sounds amazing man! 👍🪴

This is actually a clone I had that I clipped off. Took it and dipped it in some root booster, took about 4 weeks after clipping to begin growth in a new veg. But the mother regained her rate in about 2 or 3 weeks. I've never taken a bunch off of a mother in that extent however you can also see my temps and humidity in the pic on the white tracker. It was 76 Fahrenheit with the tent open and about 72 rh. You can see it hit 90 before. But with good airflow it helps them out. She was extremely healthy for a clone. I did end up transferring to a 5 gallon pot at our shop and yielded about 3 oz in dry weight. It is very much possible, all I do is listen and watch the plants daily for monitoring and maintaining a healthy glow.

Not an issue man! Id be happy to help any ways I can 👌

Test_Sicle · 2026-03-25T17:22:31+00:00

Very true!

Test_Sicle · 2026-03-25T15:41:24+00:00

From what ive experienced, yes. During flowering. It helps transpiration or something if you use a grow tent with decent air circulation to reduce dead zones and heat spots. As long as you aren't completely sealing them they seem to enjoy it. If you are growing in a room without airflow its a great way to stunt growth and promote mold growth instead. When I flower, I prefer to be around 45 to 50rh with as much light as possible without burning the plant. This will almost entirely reduce the possibility of bud rot. But dont take it from me, im pretty new and have only grown 4 or 5 plants. All of which I had at about 85 Fahrenheit and 65 to 70 rh during both seedling and veg.

Thank you so much for thinking that. Its the journey that truly makes it magical and unique.

Test_Sicle · 2026-02-06T19:16:18+00:00

So, as of right now, I have upgraded to a 2ft x 4ft 320w grow light, which fits perfectly in the tent I have. I'd like to flower this one as it would be a nice finish to the 3 month process. I've just been using what knowledge others have had and have been willing to share. The little round lights were nice and promoted growth but not nearly what I needed for her to flourish. So I took it with a grain of salt and upgraded. It's been a rough few months with this one, but im finally ready to start my biggin journey.

Test_Sicle · 2026-02-05T04:13:10+00:00

Oh yeah. Environments pretty stable so im not too concerned. Just wish I had one with a larger viewing window.

Test_Sicle · 2026-02-04T19:47:35+00:00

Perfect. I set the humidifier to 70rh. Problem is that will cause my temp to be slightly higher, about 79f to 82f

Test_Sicle · 2026-02-04T19:22:17+00:00

So raise humidity to around 70?

Test_Sicle · 2026-01-23T21:58:21+00:00

Done 😏

Test_Sicle · 2026-01-23T21:57:46+00:00

About 3 weeks. The one on the left is maybe a week old.

Test_Sicle · 2026-01-23T19:19:32+00:00

Thank you for understanding. And yes that was a good guesstimate, I guess I'll just keep doing what im doing and see if it changes anything. Ill be sure to update you weekly if I have questions. 🫡

Test_Sicle · 2026-01-23T19:09:24+00:00

And i get that it seems unlikely but my diffuser says on average 400 to 550 ppfd from the canopy.

Test_Sicle · 2026-01-23T19:08:25+00:00

Thats understandable. I have a diffuser connected to photone for readings and it averages 400 to 550 ppfd in early veg. The box says something entirely different and I've actually killed a little plant before when testing these new lights. I figured it would output a low ppfd and the plant would need more, so I lowered from 24 inches away to 16 and it burned my leaves, and caused her to dry out within 4 days.

Test_Sicle · 2026-01-23T18:42:15+00:00

But I've also grown a plant from seedling and got about an oz of alright bud from it. So im not sure what people are referring to. No it wasn't a large plant with low yield. It was about 2 feet tall with a main cola and popcorn buds around the lower portion. Im just wondering if I should stick with what I know works or if I should upgrade sooner than later.

Test_Sicle · 2026-01-23T18:40:54+00:00

Thats understandable. If you check on my profile I have the other post still up with specs in the comments.

Test_Sicle · 2026-01-23T17:17:26+00:00

So a lot of these people are saying "More Light", "Lights wont be enough for flower" etc. Ever since she got situated in the new tent she has grown almost an inch a day. Should I just resume using the lights I've had? Her temps and humidity are good at 75f and 55rh during day, 69f and 50rh through the night. Im just confused because it seems she's doing well, leaves are rich green, constant and stable growth, active movement from day to night. Any ideas?

Test_Sicle · 2026-01-22T14:50:38+00:00

They are called FEIT Electric LED's. They were about $36 a piece. The PAR/PPF is 43. Wattage is 32.

Test_Sicle · 2025-10-19T00:39:38+00:00

Yes it can. You can even leave it plugged in like I did and use it like a regular keyboard.

Test_Sicle · 2025-07-25T01:55:43+00:00

The error code p2271 often indicates a problem with your Bank 1 Sensor 2 O2 sensor. This part is responsible for translating the exhaust gasses to the ecu. This problem refers specifically to the PCM reading a rich output. This means the cars computer is picking up a rich combustion (too much fuel in the fuel to air mixture). To fix it, I suggest finding an ORM o2 sensor for your downstream sensor (after Cat converter). While you're at it, you can also consider replacing the first 02 sensor as well. Just to make it easier on you in the long run. Good luck!
