RIU, You chose it, I'm growing it. Fucking Incredible!

[smokingrubber]

Are you going to run a 1000w in that tent? I have a friend runs a 5x5 w/ a 1000w and he's about a block from the beach. Lost his first crop to mold so I know your pain. Solved it since with a dehumidifier, there was no way around it. Either a dehumidifier or an AC, but the temps near him didn't necessitate an A/C so dehumidifier made more sense.

I would get rid of the buds that have the mold already and start getting that humidity down, he'll lose the whole thing.

I will not be running another SCROG and I'll be running about 8 plants from now on in each of my 4x4's with 600w's. Not to say that the SCROG won't yield more, I just don't enjoy it as much.

Yeah, it's all about the "shock and awe" of donkey-dicks everywhere! Speaking of dd's, how many plants were in your WW grow, and what was the final yield?

I've already got the 1000w . . . but I've also got a 600w. I was going to use the 1000 because it's switchable between hps/mh. I'll run the mh while it's vegging and switch it when I go 12/12.

Since you're trimming off all the undergrowth, why not add more plants? Do you feel like the room is stuffed with 8 or could you squeeze in 12?

What kind of environmental controls do you have set up? Co2?

I'd be more than happy to share what I know and to help you out, but let's take it to the WW thread. These guys are patiently waiting (as am I) for the FI to get here and to get this journal going. If you have questions about my previous stuff lets talk about it in the previous threads. Not trying to be a dick, just know there's a lot of people that are going to get updates and hope it's because this journal's underway.

I voted for the Fucking Incredible, so I should subscribe to the thread, right?

Looking forward to it

Alright guys. I have some good news. I have to tip my hat so far to kindseed.com. The beans showed up today, no fuss no muss, no problems. I was able to email them, and call them. The beans showed up without any problems, I have to give them a thumbs up thus far. Obviously I haven't grown out the beans yet to speak to their authenticity, but the endorsement on the VISC website of kindseed.com as a distributor leads me to believe it's all good.

So, I'm soaking up some rockwool cubes, they sent me 12 seeds so I'll probably go ahead and germ them all up. I'll grown them out large enough to get clones, sex them while my other girls are finishing up in the flowering tent and we'll get our first batch in flower in about 40 days I would estimate.

I'm fuckin' excited, I'm glad I had you guys choose this for me.

Subbed.

Nice setup, kid.

That's fucking great, i'm excited aswell.

I actually started 8. Just in case something happens. I'll at least have 4 to fall back on again, but I doubt that anything will happen. If there's a security risk and I have to shut it down though I'll be able to get started again quickly so I'll leave them be. Well, as soon as I get sprouts I"ll post pictures and we can all watch the progress.

Veg:
360w 6 Lamp T5HO
2x4 Ebb & Flow
4x4 Rockwool Cubes.
Veg Room is 8x4 approx.
4" 350+ cfm fan for exhaust


Sensi Grow A & B
Hygrozyme

Flower:
600w HPS
3x3 Ebb & Flow
8" Netpot filled with hydroton
4x4" Grow Tent
Can - 66 Filter w/ 365CFM 6" Inline Fan
Sensi Bloom A&B
Big Bud
Overdrive

Just a quick recap as this journal is now ACTUALLY underway.

 

[warisnottheanswer]

It has begun!! Yeaaaaah!

is this pretty much the same setup as the WW grow? including nutes?

 

[laserbrn]

Yes it is. It will be the same as the first WW grow as I won't be using the SCROG this time. I'll just let them grow and fill the room "the old fashioned way" sorta speak.

 

[doitinthewoods]

Nice,.. can't wait to see how this goes. One of my suggestion wins, and my vote mattered. When does this every happen? Subscribed.

 

[Fditty00]

And off we go.... Subscribed!!!

 

[laserbrn]

I checked in on them this morning and nothing yet. But that's what 24 hours? I'm such a stoner I can't even remember when I put the beans in the cubes. My room is a little on the cold side at night so I'm going to get the veg area all cleaned out today and get everything setup. It's all just a mess as all I did when I shut it down was empty the res and throw out was alive in there. Room needs to be cleaned and sanitized, made ready. I'll try to get through all of that today and get the light hung up so I can turn it on to keep that room at a better temperature for the little seedlings.

Laser, any reason you use a 3x3 tray in a 4x4 tent? Is it because you feel that the 600 doesn't quite cover 4x4 like you'd like?

 

[jordisgarden]

isnt fi the same as the gods gift strain?

I had the 3x3 tray before the 4x4 tent. And having a little extra room is nice. If I put a 4x4 tray it would be a real bitch getting it in and out of there at times. The 3x3 tray will hold plants with a 4x4 canopy with no problem. I am having trouble covering the space with a 600w light though. It's so damn cold right now at night I'm considering buying a 1000w light setup. I already know I'm going to add a flowering tent and so I may as well upgrade the lighting for this FI grow and use this 600w for the new tent. Shit, I can talk myself into anything.

 

[laserbrn]

No, as far as I know God's Gift is a clone only that is an OG Kush x GDP cross. FI is claimed to be a cross of some old 90's indica strains that took this long to stabilize and created this bomb ass strain from Vancouver Island Seed Company.

Thanks much for the reply - after I typed it I realized that you're planning on growing 4ish larger plants and don't need the tray footprint that a smaller plant guy (like me) would need. Weird that you're having trouble covering a 3x3 with a 6 though, no? Never used a 6 before (every other light size and style, but no 6), but I'd have thought that would cover a 3x3 easily.

Its about time ...it only took u three "what strain should i pick threads"...lolIm subscribed..

It does cover the 3x3 fairly well, it's just the outside edges that don't seem to get the light. But you know, I say that and the plant in the farthest corner is the biggest. of course that's because I couldn't reach the damn thing way back there to really wind it through the screen. I thought the vertical growth would actually help it out in getting more light anyway (seems to be working). The 600 does cover the whole space, I just think a larger reflector with a 1000w would be more ideal. A lot of it has to do with the reflector and this isn't the right one for this space. It's freakin' PERFECT for a 3x3 though.

I'll still use it over a 3x3 in one of my tents, I won't let it go to waste and I'll do a lot of side by side grows where I'll bump it back down. My goal is to have 2 tents side by side both running hydro. To give you an idea of what I've got going on...it's a spare bedroom in my home and It has a 4x8 walk in closet. I use the 4x8 walk in closet as my veg area. The bedroom itself is to have the following.

Equipment List:
400w Ballast and Lamp - x2 (Summertime configuration)
600w Ballast and Lamp - x2 (Spring configuration)
1000w Ballast and Lamp - x2 (Winter configuration)


I don't run an A/C as it drives up the cost of my meds too much. So far I have the 2x 400w's and 1 600w. My next purchase will be one 1000w as we enter winter here. The another 1000w, then the final 600w as spring comes around and it gets a little warmer. Should work out pretty well. I can buy the damn equipment for the cost of the electricity saved by not using AC. The new Tiered usage system is a REAL bitch.

Both flowering tents as stated will be the same with 3x3 trays and 27 gallon reservoirs. I will likely purchase another nutri-dip as I run these out of the front of the tent so that I can see my PH, PPM, and Res. Temp without opening the tent. I also use the $30 remote Thermometers from Lowes.
