My Purple Urkle and Grape Krush look very similar in shape and structure, but are on totally different pages as far as nutrient uptake goes. I ran 4 girls this time and each a different strain. I tried to fed them all with one batch, but late in flowering I have to start to be more specific as they were way different.

The Sasha and Skunky Monkey look really nice, I like the looks #3 & #4 of the Skunky Monkey that FM has right now. I prefer indicas usually, with some exceptions. I actually have a few clones that are sativas though.

Yeah, I think plants with a different shape and structure are easier to keep together than ones with different nutrient needs, at least in my setup. You can top, FIM, train, LST, etc. to keep a similar canopy but when you run a connected system like mine you cannot really feed the plants differently unless you foliar feed and even then I don't think you can foliar feed everything that is different between the strains. I could be wrong here but that's what makes sense to me.

I wonder if they will do that...?

Confirmed that they WILL do that, the only question is: what grade is my bud? I think high grade but they do have high standards at my dispensary so I don't know. Everyone keeps telling me that my bud is good but I am the eternal pessimist so I don't know... I know I like it.

Thats how I feel about mine. I never bought from the dispensary so IDK what to compare it against. I know mine is better that the shit ppl are selling around here for the most part.

Well I know for a fact that my dispensary has the bomb shit cuz that's where I got all mine until my last harvest. They are pretty on point, right now they have 31 different strains, and that's just flowers. Add hash, edibles, etc. and they are 100% on point. Price is the only issue but even then they are much better than their competitors around here.

I just added some new stuff to my tent. I setup a drainage system for my hydro setup (I have a bad back and this makes draining the system a breeze) and a 7000 BTU A/C.

Here are some pics:

might of asked you before but i dont remember :eyesmoke: how do you exhaust the ac. i was thinking about getting one but am worried itll exhaust smell from the flowering tent. But i figured maybe hooking that up to an ona gel bucket would solve the issue. any input?

I just dont like to smoke the same weed everyday, and that leads me to grow several strains at once.

I always grow 3-4 strains....

I'm growing out 4 mothers right now...


White Widow
Moby Dick
Neville's Haze
Original BC Blueberry


Anyone else use Gromedics tents? I have one and I absolutely love it, highest quality tents I've seen.... I prefer them to Secret Jardin and pretty much every other tent design I've seen...

My A/C exhausts through a Y duct which combines my light's exhaust and the A/C exhaust. The reason I am doing this is because I am out of ports that I can use, the tent's right side is against a wall and that prohibits me from using those ports. I may have to move some things around and I may possibly have to move the A/C to outside the tent in the garage, but I hope I don't have to do that because that would be inefficient cooling.

EDIT: I am an idiot, read my later post on why...

Does a/c exhaust come from internal or air in the tent? I never used a portable on e and dont know how they work...?

Funny you should ask that because after thinking about it and staring at my tent and gauges for a few minutes I noticed that my CO2 PPM was dropping very quickly when the A/C turned on and that reminded me of what a dumb fuck I am. I will definitely have to move the A/C to the garage because not only am I wasting CO2 (and may walk into my garage and just pass out from the CO2), I will be venting the odor right out into my garage. I think the only wise choice here is to move the A/C to the garage and figure out a way to vent the exhaust into a wall or something.

I can't believe I missed this obvious mistake, oh well live and learn, and never make the same mistake twice. :wall:

I make mistakes all the time lol. Dont fret, just make it work lol. Might be a need for a booster fan to help the cool air to the tent depending on ducting length.

At least you caught it now and not when you're trying to rid yourself of spider mites by raising the ppm to 5000 and killing yourself in the process. Post pics of how you re-do the set up. I REALLY like your tent set up and it's cleanliness. I cannot wait to afford an AC and rid myself of my heat problems, those are REAL problems my friend lol.

What I do now (ghetto) is I run a duct from one of my house a/c outlet vents with a fan pulling it inside my grow area. It helps a lot and saved me from buying a portable a/c. I dropped temps in my grow area under the lights by as much as 8-10*F

Are you talking about the circulation fans? I think they are 16" fans. I got them from my hydro store, but I am sure you can find them online too.

Unfortunately my condo doesn't have a central AC system, otherwise I'd already be doing this. My only option to battle this years heat wave is a portable AC. I think when it starts snowing heat won't be an issue as the 600w runs warm lol.
