Fair point on the grammar, as far as pictures, the site isn't letting me select files to post. Maybe it's a mobile thing, I'll have to try on a desktop sometime.
Thanks man, lol I got the newb grower that's screaming at me to water board them and the smart me that's back handing the newb across the face. All while the drill sergeant is yelling through a megaphone for the second set of leaves to get out. (Lol a glance into the turmoil of my diseased mind) but anyway nothing much new. Using a 16 oz water bottle to water whenever soil starts to get dry I think that's about right. Here's a couple pics right before lights on for real color.That's a nice setup u have there. it sound like u did ur homework before u started unlike many other (me
Pictures or it didn't happen? Are you 12? Do you also only read picture books too? Instead of coming on aggressive for no reason, next time try just asking for pictures. Grammar and sentence structure aside, I didn't find it all that challenging to follow the OP's thoughts.
Lol thanks man, was more record keeping rather than discussion so I wasn't even thinking of grammar, more just putting my scattered thoughts down.
Also make sure there isn't anything preventing the light from going all the way up to the top supports. I didn't and it was a super hassle to adjust it, the plants were too unstable to move around! Was so nervous adjusting anything after 2 months of growth.
Lol yeah, I made sure when the light is all the way up everything fits, there's like a foot and a half between the glass and the top of the tent cuz the ratchets and such, was hoping less so I'd have more grow height but oh well. (Although I think I did the ratchets backwards, idk which would be easier but trying to reach the very top of the tent for any adjustments seemed like it'd be more of a pain than having the ratchets hooked to the light itself)
I say give your plan a shot. that's how I started my first time too. just for thought, I eventually tied my light to the top of the tent and the plants reached for the light. as I went from 600-750-1000-1200 on the dimmer for the ballast the plants stretched up to the light and then as they got closer they stopped stretching. worked great for 6wk veg and the flower stretch.
Do you mean you did that in veg or after switching to flower? I might be gaining like half a foot if I did that so it's more trouble than its worth cuz there's always gonna be some space between the two for the hanging system. I really want to get a perpetual so I can cut times in half cuz I'm just so bored nothing to do but watch grass grow lol.
I did it like week 8, but next grow will do it from the start. just make sure you can cool the hood well. I plan on growing mostly in winter and using the cold outside air to cool my hood. You can control height by number of weeks vegging and/or topping. I topped once after the 5th node.
Height isn't too big a deal for me I was just worried about it at first cuz it was kinda like "ok got 6 feet, no wait lights, 5 feet, oh yeah pots 4 feet, wait can't burn them 2 feet" but I was just going into a spiral over thinking it, but 2-3 feet of budz
