3x3 600 watt SCROG Perpetual Grow

Hello Grass City,

This is going to be my very first grow journal. I have grown outdoor for many years and did one grow with my old room mate with 1000 watt light 5x5 set up. I have been lurking around grass city for a long time and i finally decided to make a grow journal. My main goal of this journal is to make sure I am doing everything correct and to help answer anyones questions.

This time around I am going to be using a 3x3x6 grow tent with a 600 watt light. My veg tent is a 4x2x5 with a 6 bulb 4f T5 light with 324 watts. I am using fox farm ocean forest for my soil for everything

Here is my flower tent equipment
iPower GLSETX600DHMCT6 600-Watt Light Digital Dimmable HPS MH Grow Light System for Plants - Cool Tube Set (got it from amazon- in the mail)

Secret Jardin Darkroom II Pro DR90 36"x36"x72"(got it form amazon - in the mail)

Comfort Zone CZ6C 6-Inch 2-Speed Clip-On Fan x2

Acu Rite Indoor Humidity Monitor


I am going to get a exhaust fan and filter from my local grow store. Everything for my flower tent should be here and up sometime next week. I will post pictures of the flower tent onces its up.

Here is my veg tent equipment

ENVIROGRO - T5 4 ft / 6 TUBE SYSTEM w/BULBS

Comfort Zone CZ6C 6-Inch 2-Speed Clip-On Fan x2


I am growing from Seeds got all of the from Attitude Seed Bank (all seeds are feminized )

Humboldt Seed Organisation Trainwreck x6 (4 in tent right now started germinating the other 2 should be ready to plant in a few days)

Next Generation NY Purple Diesel x5 (2 in tent right now started germinating 3 more last night should be ready to plant in a few days)

Barneys Farm Liberty Haze x6 (3 in tent right now started germinating 3 more last night should be ready to plant in a few days)

Delicious Seeds AUTO Cheese Candy x1 (started to germinate last night)

Positronics Seeds SuperCheese Express (Auto Flowering) x1 (started to germinate last night)

There is only going to 6 total going into my flower tent which are going to be 2 purple diesel, 2 liberty haze and both auto flowering Cheese strains. The rest is going to be going outside as soon as I can.

Here are my questions
1. What kind of exhaust fan should i get for my 4x2x5 grow tent?

2. What kind of exhaust fan and filter should i get for my 3x3x6

3. Any recommendation for nutrients would be great. I haven't started giving them anything yet.

P.S
The picture of the veg tent is taken right before i put the 3 liberty haze in. I will post pictures every few days and check my post multiple times a day. Any help is very much appreciated

 

Hey Wonderer thanks for joining,

I am using a 6 inch cool tube because i was told that it was easier to keep cool. Thanks for answering my question about the fan.
Is the ipower fan going to be a lot quiter then a 6 inch vortex fan?

It seems like its half the power of the average vortex fan. Do you think it will be enough power to cool a 600 watt light?

Also do you have a grow journal going for your self?

I will post more pictures tonight of my veg tonight once i get home from work.

 

Every body tells me to use smart pots but I have used them in the past in my outdoor grow and i didnt see a difference in product or how fast they grew.

Right now i have ROSE BUCKET BLACK SQUARE POT - 1.75 GALLON - 10" x 7" x 7" that i have used in the past.

Plus i kind of just like the hard pots better just incase someone bumps into it you dont have to worry about the roots getting missed up. I have a dog and she like to get into everything and loves to explore.

 

Well only 4 of them are going to go into my flowering tent. One or two of them will be made into a mother plant. The rest will be going outside as soon as they can, which is usually around the beginning of May. This journal is only for the 4 plants that are staying inside. I might make a journal for outside but i never do and have growing outdoor for 4-5 years.

I am going to do a scrog as well but i was thinking 4 plants because its better to keep the grow area as much as a square as possible to maxims the 3x3 area. I might do 2 plants with the scrog it all depends on how big they get once im ready to start flowering.

 

Hey Ninetailz

Thanks for joining and the Rep much appreciated!!! Just gave you some rep as well.

 

I planted some more seeds 2 Trainwrecks, 2 liberty haze and 1 cheese candy auto. I have 3 more seeds germinating and should be ready to plant tonight or tomorrow morning.

I got my 600 watt light in the mail last night, just waiting for the tent. Tent is suppose to be here sometime next week. So i will have pictures of the whole set up next week.

Here is some pictures of everything.

 

Hi Flatulist thanks for joining!

Well only 4 of them are going to be going in the flowering tent the rest I will be planting outside in like a month. My Flowering tent with my 600 watt light came with a MH and HPS bulb so if they end up getting to big before im ready to put them out side i can always put some in the other tent. I wasnt going to start flowering until i put the other plants outside.

But a 4x2 should hold the 14 plants that will be going outside no problem for a month. I am not worried at all.
