nice grow! I would like to see a whole shot of your grow tent,if you would. I got a 4x4x6 one my self and would like to see how you set up the in side. I have a bag seed growing in it now and am in 4 weeks into flowering,got to move her to the attic soon.

Here you go:



Homebox XL; 600w aircooled HPS, 2 x 2 E&F with coco and hydroton, GH Flora nutes; 300 cfm fan and filter for air exhaust; 170cfm fan blowing on the light for intake.

For my next grow, I will add flanges on the left and right walls of the tent to isolate the light cooling airflow.

Start posting a grow journal, you'll get lots of good advice from some experienced growers..

Good luck with your grow!

nice looking plants dude!

Thanks for stopping by. My first grow has been very enjoyable, and I hope to have some nice bud to show for my efforts.

I checked out your last post, and I ran in to the same thing when my plants were young. Yours look healthy except for the minor yellowing. I just had my lights too close..... I'd move the light up a bit and then start messing with nutes after you know that isn't the problem.

Good luck with your grow!

Nute numbers since the last update:

11/25: EC 2.4 / 1200 ppm; 5.4pH. Add 1 Gal DW; 40ml Hygrozyme; EC 2.4 / 1200ppm, 5.4pH.

11/26: Out of town.

11/27: EC 2.5 / 1250 ppm; Add 2 Gal "Bloom"(EC 2.7/1350ppm @ 5.8pH), 1 Gal DW to EC 2.7 / 1350 ppm, 5.6pH.

11/28: EC 2.8 / 1400 ppm; 5.7pH. Add 1 Gal DW, 1ml Hygrozyme to EC 2.6 / 1300, 5.6pH.

11/29: Out of town.

11/30: EC 2.6 / 1300 ppm; 5.6pH. Add 1 Gal "Bloom"(EC 2.7/1350ppm @ 5.8pH), 1 Gal DW, 1ml Hygrozyme to EC 2.5 / 1250ppm, 5.6pH.

12/01: EC 2.5 / 1250 ppm, 5.6pH.

12/02: EC 2.8 / 1400 ppm; 1 Gal DW, 1ml Hygrozyme, 20ml H2O2 (35%) to EC 2.6 / 1300 ppm, 5.3pH.

12/03: EC 2.6 / 1300 ppm; 1 Gal tap water (EC 0.8 / 400 ppm) to EC 2.5 / 1250 ppm, 5.6pH

12/04: EC 2.6 / 1300 ppm, 5.6pH. Add 20ml H2O2 (35%).

My last res change was on 11/14, and I have been managing res level, EC, and ppm through a combination of premixed nute solution, distilled water, and tap water. The reservoir itself smells clean, and is still so clear you can see all the way to the bottom. I plan on doing one more res change this weekend with full strength bloom nutes, and then I will top off the res with tap water and DW to slowly lower the ppm's before my flush. I will run these nutes til 12/21 and then flush with Clearex and pH'd water. I will then run pH'd water for 8 days til harvest.

All input is greatly appreciated!

This morning:

do you vent into the room that you have it in.

The tent is in a small spare bedroom. I have ducting that pulls air in and exhausts out the doorway into the main living area. When I am expecting visitors, I close the door and crack a window. It is much easier to manage temps with the door open....

Kumar! Where ya been man? I checked out your journal on the 1st, and I don't think you've been back since. Your shit is looking great! I think your plants have more branch-ness and node-ness than my plants did at that stage. I see a bumper crop in your future.

I am getting more and more psyched as the days pass. Every day is like Christmas Eve night, and I can't fucking wait!

that filter keeps the smell in.

Kumar is correct. I draw air out of the tent through a carbon filter. It gets rid of 99.9% of the dank, but it seems to be having a little trouble keeping up with the plants in late bloom. I only notice it near the room, not throughout the house. Of course, I could just be paranoid.

It's a shame too because the smell is wonderful.....but I'd rather smell it when I bust off a nice nug for a bowl or what have you :)

AB - Today is day 14 in flower (63 total), so I got another 6-7 weeks most likely till I chop. I think I have more nodes and what not than you because I vegged for 49 days and I used a combination of red and blue light (in veg).....I kinda like it. I also noticed that I started seeing hairs coming after 2 or 3 days in flower - another feature that probably wouldn't have happened if I only vegged for 30 or so days. I think my Snow Whites are budding a lil more quickly than my PPP, but both are lookin great. I increased my watering schedule to 5x a day...the water level reaches just into the rockwool, like 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch up. Fill in 3 minutes and drains in about 1 or 2. I'll have better pics when I can find a damn camera! I'll be checkin back later on yours for sure!

Ps - My PPP are about 26 inches...they started in flower around 15-16"....the snow white's were about 14" and are close to 24". I got about another 20" of vertical space...so I'm hoping i'll be ok!

Pps - I'm still on my first res in 12/12...I just followed the directions on the back of the botanicare jug, usin like 15 gallons of water. What do u use to take your ppm/ph readings? I really need to look into that....oh, and can you get me a link to those hash makin bags u bought? Thanks man!

Yes, the smell is intoxicating... Bright, sweet and a bit danky.....

I only vegged for less than thirty days because they were already 15" tall and all plants were showing preflowers prior to 12/12. I wish I had gone a week earlier, the plants would have been much more manageable. Be careful with your grow. Do everything you can to keep the canopy even through the growth spurt so you don't have one cola 10" higher than the rest of the canopy.(Like me) I'm constantly fiddling with the plants now to keep them in the light "sweet spot". From everything I've read, you've got the floods dialed in. Top of the flood should cover the lower 1/4" of the rockwool cube.

I use a digital pH meter, and a truncheon for the ppm. I probably should have spent the extra money for a temperature compensated pH meter, but the Bluelab ppm truncheon is the shit......

I just sent you a PM.

Good luck with your grow!

Here is a small photo of a carbon filter in my tent, its just connected right to the fan and the fan blows through the ducting out the top 6inch outlet, I only had to use about 2 feet of ducting, this fan happens to be only 4 inches since its being used as a mother tent.

Thanks for stopping by. This is my first grow, and I'm pretty happy with the outcome so far....

Checked out your journal. You've got a beautiful grow.
