Nonfictions double tent adventures

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by nonfiction, Aug 16, 2015.

  1. Heya been growing here awhile, decided to start a new journal because I think I've grown a lot no pun intended since the beginning...

    I shall start with my set up, in my 3x3 secret garden I have a small 150w hps as well as 50w t5 lighting, generally use the t5 for begin Ing then slowly move over to hps, by time the 150w is too small I move them to my 4x4 flowering tent! It has a 400w ballast now but ordered a 1000w dimmable with cool tube that will attach to my carbon filter and exhaust fan,

    Pics speak louder I guess

    The t5 usually is in its stand but the new strain hunter money maker seeds haven't popped (just planted) so I'll just shine horizontally hoping to increase spectrum for other plants, the large you see is a female afghani seed sensi seeds I believe (I got five freebies from herbies, four were male, I'm gonna veg a bit longer and either clone machine her or flower maybe 4 clones bottom chutes flower the rest

    The two in the clay pots were also freebies, world of seeds northern lights x big bud and heavyweight dream machine (had two, guess my cat didn't like one the poor seedlings) and the rock wool on right is strain hunters money maker which I believe I mentioned earlier....

    I've studied light in college I'm aware the t5 is probably too far to do anything, just hoping to make a slight difference idk it produces no heat compared to the hps so why not :p. Lemme close this tent up and move to the big one!


    You'll quickly notice it's empty! I have an inspection coming up shortly so I have harvested all the delicious critical super silver haze I've been growing for the last 8months ish maybe longer now, well almost all, I have one left! Nearly finished now around 50? Days? Haven't really been keeping count but been watching with my microscope... Here is my babe

    Her bud weight was making her fall down so recently did some tying which you can't really tell under these hps lights....

    Also keep one of these in tent, I move locations trying to get accurate reading but generally stays the same

    That's on top of the reflector, also humidity is a bit high because just moved all other plants to smaller tent, gonna finish this off, dry in here under filter than possibly start that afghani female flowering.. My cssh is in coco, coco is my medium of choice but sometimes I get lazy and try dirt, which this afghani is (the clones won't be)


    I try new things I do some diy stuff and guides and I also make lots of bho! If anything interests you please follow! Once inspection is over I have nirvana ak 48, Royal queen northern light and last but certainly not least, barneys farm, pineapple chunk! I plan to maybe do one bean at a time and clone the shit out of them Sog the big tent! We will see! I'm open to learning and suggestions! Looking forward to getting this going
     
  2. Nice setup man! Hoping to get started in a few days is the t5 for the lower part of the plant that the 1000w can't reach? Anyways cheers to a great setup!
     
  3. Nah usually I just use the t5 for new seedlings so there's no chance they'll burn under hids, and I have a diy cloning machine that I toss under t5s to root for most part the hids do the big growing the t5 lights aren't strong enough to do too much imo
     
  4. Cool! Subbed. Quick question I am about to get HPS light (1000w) can I dim down for seedlings/clones?
     
  5. honestly i don't know, i've always used cfls or t5s or something not as harsh and worked my way up to big lights
     
  6. Just tied the afghani female down sorta! Also the heads of the strain hunters money makers broke groundtoday, all three!

    They are in soil, soil that claims to feed plants for up to 3 months, course these plants that are a few weeks old are already losing their seed leaves.. I try dirt and I just give up, I can grow in coco not dirt, so I'll go back to coco with nutes.. That's what works for me so fuck it :-/
     
  11. I just poured a shit load of the dirt food in when I just watered, I haven't taken this one out of sink and its happiest it's been yet!

    And third needs more coco before I post a pic, but rushing into it with these guys no fuckin around with mid sized pots
    The promix might burn for a bit we will see
     
  15. I also bought some nematodes that I have placed in each of these pots plus my afghani female that I placed in flower tent yesterday
     
  16. Hey I chopped these very bottom of plant buds yesterday, think I can chop the rest today or let it go a bit longer? Critical super silver haze between 55 and 65 days flowering

  17. For just a small plant it sure is stinky! 18/6 and still a smell during early veg!

    It's doin better than the heavyweight dream machine atm :-/
     
  18. Here's the dream machine

    ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1440542374.213823.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1440542384.668610.jpg

    Think the soil they're in is kinda weak so been slowly adding nutes watching for burns, doing it every other watering! But since I used those nematodes I'm just trying to keep my whole medium damp for a few more days
     
  19. It seems to be stunted since the transplant it's just not sturdy hopefully it bounces back :-/
     
  20. Chopped my last cssh last night at day 58 at least maybe a week longer.. Got about 190g wet small harvest but a few dense buds!
