that looks quite indica...so my thoughts were that it wouldn't stretch much (but you would know your plant)...

Same size tent I want to roll with...so 1.5 pounds is the suspected yield from this bitch? How many runs do you get a year?

morning 'ome grown up nice n early ey??

4 runs a year man, sometime 3 well thats the plan, this is onl my 3rd indoor grow, i get inspections, so i have to play it very smart and time it right to get what i need from my girl

i expect atleast 1 lb, that was last grow, i pulled 15 in total :( bit disappointed but i think the heat killed my yield, however, this grow is very very different, i have a twice as bushy plant, with atleast 40-50 tops, whereas my last grow i topped to late to begin with and ended up stretching to fast and not bush out,.... bad timing, learning experience.
This plant is much bigger, and she will stretch more in the side growth as remember i fimmed the outer edges, topped for some main clones, which will allow the outer growth to spread out now. every main branch has been topped or pinched

I rent at the moment, and have inspections as well...will be moving to be own place soonish :)

I was thinking of vegging outdoors...and flowering indoors (when the season is right) - will have a greenhouse as well for winter (but can change the bulb over to mh for a few weeks of veg if need be). I mean, for strains that are slow like querkle, I could give it as much time as it needs in the greenhouse to get up to the right size, wait for the tent to be free, bring her in and flip...

That way I can increase my crops per year...even 2 extra crops would be fantastic.

Oh, I don't do hydro as well...only veganic soil so moving plants from outdoors to indoors is no problem (no matter what size pots...have wheels :) ).

What on earth is veganic?

And flowa... I am thinking of making a new grow space and growing some bushes like you to keep my plant count down. So I'm watching very intently. :shock:

here's another question...

you say you had some water on the leaves? Condensation yeah? Lack of air flow or did you just need a fan?

I am thinking of running a fan (as well as a cool tube and carbon filter) but another fan with inside the tent just on low...where did you get that little fan from? I'm just thinking of power points. Could I get a 600w, fan and internal fan running off of two power points (i.e. next to each other)?

This would have to be in my shed...so have to make sure there is enough for the system AND everything else, i.e. power tools etc, and maybe in the future that is where I would have to charge our cars up from...but that is some decades away.

Even when running air cooled hoods/tubes, a centrifigal fan and a carbon filter, you still need minimum, another centrifigal for exhaust, an inline fan for intake and a 1 or 2 fans inside to circulate air, even during lights off your ladies still need to breath during there dark period, if you dont do this you stress your plants, you starve them of oxygen and humidity builds rapidly as they try to perspire through the leaves and cant due to stagnant air, should always have a very gentle flow of fresh air, fresh being the operative word, not just a fan inside circulating the already used air.

good luck with that man! vegging outdoors and then bringing them in sounds like major drama to me! BUGS BUGS BUGS is what i'm thinkin!, i myself have just bumped into a couple of white fly eggs on my indoor!! DAMN caugh her early though, so permethrin (pyrethrum) bombin the room as we speak, that should kill the flies and eggs, and any that i miss i will get the next week on a second shot, i will then hang 5 fly strip traps around in the tent and room. should of done this first damn it, i bombed the room before i vegged but i guess flies get in on your clothes and shit. GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

PERMETHRIN is safe on plants as it degrades quickly under UV light, and i myself have just bought just that, an extra 26 watt cfl UVB lamp. YES people i dont muck around, i act when necessary! the uvb bulb should help with trich city maybe! be a nice little experiment during flowering, take some nice macros of UVB zoned buds!

yeah, just added another fan (tower fan) to help with evaporation, and it did :)

and as for power points! huh lol man i'm bombing the room atm i'd take a pic, i have 1 powerpoint in my room!! i run my light from another room on a very long extension cord, so it runs on a different circuit on the house, and everything else i run from that 1 powerpoint in the room.
1. extractor fan
2. light cooling fan (harvey norman mate)
3. tower fan
4. air pump for air stone
5. water pump
6. 40cm heller fan
7. (new) UVB lamp
oh, and i also run 1 more pedastal fan pushing air over the ballast and out the room, also aiding in drawing the hot air from the carbon filter out of the room.

i run all these off a $80 6 plugin surge board, and i even have a couple of double adapters off it running the smaller fans , and she all runs fine, i can vaccum, put the kettle on, washing machine and never have a cutout, it's great, my surge board gets warm but thats about it

yo haze...the cooltube fan will be running the whole time mate...and it is a small grow so it will be pulling air through the tent and then out through the filter. Just wanting to get another fan to circulate the air inside the tent so it is all even temp and humidity wise...

I may in future get an air-con/de-humidifier for the tent, make a little box outside of the tent for intake...but that is well down the track...summer is declining and I won't have anything until at least the middle of winter.

you should run cold fresh air over your lamp man, run your carbon filter from your tent exhaust, drawing tent air over the lamp aint gonna do it any justice regarding heat, it sorta an inefficient way to run it, also will put alot of drag on the airflow through lamp due to filter, but each to there own.

the beauty of having such a small set up that is for personal use is that I am going to have more than enough yield either way...and can make changes to the system on the fly if need be...so if it doesn't work the way I am thinking then I can easily change it to any other way.

that tent was actually given to me by my teacher (very good quality tent) he thought i had a great knowledge of plants in general so he gave me that, and worked out a bit of a deal the first run, sweet as he upgraded to a double tent, and always wants me over there to 'tend' to his girls

flipping FRIDAY!!!!!

keen to see a pic of them uvb lamps you got going...and where you put them...

That is something I may look into the future...

Do it right or don't even bother if it is for personal stash.

give me 30 minutes man, room still thick with permethrin, i got the UVB lamp in already, i'll take a pic with it on shortly

just the one lamp for now, it seems fairly bright, and from what i've read, you shouldnt need that much UVB for an addition, one should be ok i think in this size tent because the HPS lamps give soo little out.

i will however alternate between the left and right side of the tent as my HPS is smack bang in the middle

sweet...I'm interested to see if it has an affect of not...so maybe don't move it around...you know, so we can see side by side the affected and none affected buds if you get me.
