Good luck dude, I'll be in too. Love what you are doing over here. 40lbs, christ, but I have a job too. Or else I would grow 40lbs for personal.

So here is the tent, day 1 of 12/12. Just potted the clones yesterday and they had their first 12 hours of dark yesterday.

There is a GG4, will be the pollen donor if things work out, a kandy kush, a purple punch, a LV Lemon Skunk a couple wedding cakes and a couple durban poisons. Wasn't able to get a triple nova in this round.

Whats your plan for watering? DTW? ebb and flow?
Nice strains, will be fun watching that tent fill up.

How much water are you mixing these amounts into, I just recieved the flora series and I want to get a good idea of what I should be giving them, I'm in a tent I only give them 4 liters each 2 liters just water 2 liters feed.

I can't see the chart in your quote but my mix barrels are 30 gallon.

Yeah it's ebb and flow / flood and drain, the reservoir is on the floor to the left of the tent.

Nice, so if you were to do a soil grow in a similar tent and use the flood trays, you could drill a hole in flood table and plug it up. Unplug to drain the flood table when you wanted to flush to avoid nute lockout/ salt buildup. Sorry about the questions but always wanted to run a scrog grow but was weary being a soil grower and not being able to really move the plants around. I like to flush a few times during grow to check ppms and just rinse out any salt buildup, though I do feed nutes right up until harvest. No flush at the end. Dope grow by the way! Nice and clean.

Why not just leave the trays drain open and run it to a floor drain? Then you can water with proper runoff and not have to empty saucers. Thats how I would do it. If you don't have a floor drain you could use a collection bucket and drop a sump pump in there and plumb that to waste. lol

I also like to flush periodically during the grow, every two weeks ish. I always flush with RO water that has 100 PPM of epsom salt in it as pure h2o is supposedly bad for the roots. After flushing I follow immediately with a feed, don't wanna starve the plants. I water 10 gallon pots with 2.5 gallons every time so there is about 20% runoff so salt buildups are minimal.

Ya I hear you. I don't have a floor drain. I would plan on having a 30 gal bucket under it w/sub pump that would run to either mini split or tankless hot water heater condensate pump. This would be an extra flower room, I already have a 4000w hps grow room that's framed in and specifically meant to be a bloom room. What I'm talking about would be adding a tent to flower more plants in another room. I'd probably run a 630 cmh. I would like to finally do a run with those lights.

Sounds awesome. You can have a tent to test strains and other such good times. I am so stoked about my tent breeding experiment. Just something cool about that small space, I have never grown in a tent before and it's pretty cool for things such as this. I haven't even opened it in 3 days, just look in thru the window to get readings off my co2/temp/RH meter. With the reservoir outside the tent I can check PPM, pH and topoff without even opening the tent. I am gonna see how long I can go without opening it aside for applying the STS.
