I think I can speak on LB's behalf when I say it's our pleasure.

BTW to both of you - put together some short Youtube videos of my two tent setups, if either of you are interested.

Just do a search for "SOGBobSmith" and there's seven ~1 minute videos - would love any input and/or feedback from either of you.

Bob, love the videos. It's a little difficult to watch them in order.

I see you have a Sentinal controller. I'm going to get one too. Do you recommend getting the expensive one that controls everything or should I get the one that just does Co2. I really like the way it scrolls all the digital info. That looks very professional! How long does your Co2 tank last and how big is it?

I have (3) 20lb. CO2 tanks, and I'd definitely spend the extra money and get the upgraded version - it's $500.

CO2 tanks last about a month and a half each running 12/12 @ 1500PPM.

If you don't mind, PM me or go to my journal to ask me anymore questions - I wanna keep this thread focused on anon's tent (I know I opened the Pandora's box anon, and I apologize for that).

Many thanks for your compliments, though

Bob, I think I'm doing your set-up almost exactly. I've got the same RO system, same tent, same pots . . . and I'm gonna get the same sentinal system and Co2. You've got 17 pots going. How many of those would you flower in a 4'9 x 4'9?

Gonna post a pic update in my journal within the hour, check it out - my tent's the same size, so you'll see what I'm doing with it.

K guys, sorry to delete pictures but after reading https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/271343-rollitup-member-gets-busted-arrested.html#post3393061


I am too paranoid as it is. I will post pictures for a limited time and then delete them soon after. Laserbrn and bobsmith, you guys seem to give me the best advice and respond quickly so after you've seen it, I'll trash it. I just don't know how safe this site is now, I mean jacksonville is nowhere near me but still.https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/271343-rollitup-member-gets-busted-arrested.html#post3393061

If you aren't in Florida and you aren't telling your friends about your online posting you'll be just fine. This has happened in the past and yes they can use the information against you in court and to obtain warrants. They need someone to link your name to the postings in the first place to secure a subpoena if they feel it necessary for the ISP.

If you're nervous, it's understandable. I'm a California Prop 215 patient and I keep to my legal limits so I don't worry much about local PD. DEA's not going to come bustin' in my door for my 6 plant operation. The press would be terrible as well as I have a LEGITIMATE medical case with all of the records for years to back it up. I didn't just pay some sham doctors to hook me up with a rec. I would go down a martyr for the cause as MMJ is the only thing that has helped me and I didn't touch the stuff before my doctor recommended it.

I was somewhat tweaking when I first saw that post, but as I only ever run my mouth on RIU (and never give away location), I feel reasonably secure.

There's not a soul in the world besides me who can link my RIU screen name to my real name (it ain't "Bob Smith", in case anyone was wondering).

I feel better now, but I'm still a little leery.

If you are really in Cali you don't have much to worry about. If you go posting pictures of your 6000w setup w/ your 75 plants you might have some trouble someday. But as long as you are sticking to your plant counts and operating with the limits of the local law you will be fine. DEA isn't looking for you, doesn't care about you and doesn't know you exist.

I actually would LOVE for the local sherriff to investigate me and to simply look at my posts on the forum. They can see that I'm within my limits and not even bother knocking at my door.

Well, if it says I'm in Cali in my profile, that must be where I am

Just a precautionary measure.........

eh, paranoia getting the best of me I guess. They have REALLY bounced back and have started to take off. Everything is coming in nice and green and beautiful. A couple/few more weeks in veg and we'll see if they're ready to flower. They smell really nice. Especially before the light, filter and exhaust fan come on. Thanks for helping my ladies in their time of need guys.

Glad that they've turned a corner now and are underway. As they get stronger and stronger and more established go ahead and lower the light a little at a time.

I know you won't post pics anymore, but I hope they do well!

That goes for me as well; I know I shouldn't be posting pics, but I can't tell anyone in "real life", so this site is the only place I get to show them off.

Plus, using that guy who got busted as a reference point is kinda silly to me - from everything I've read, he was almost on a mission to get busted.

Glad to hear that the plants are doing well, though.

They are doing well, they have been sitting at 300ppm for a week now, tomorrow is res change day. Gonna bump the nutes up a bit. The only thing is that towards the end of the day they start to droop a bit, is that normal? In the morning, they're right back and perky.

Yep, it's just fine. Drooping and perking up are just part of what plants do. Don't worry about it too much. Check to see if it seems related to your watering though...if it droops right after watering, or if it droops right BEFORE watering. Might mean it's time to add another watering cycle.

Solid advice - drooping is either over or under watering, shouldn't be very difficult to figure out which one it is.

Res change today. following week 3 of veg at 1/2 strength on fox farm feeding chart. ppm at right about 525-550. they seem to be digging it. When should I start thinking about topping them? Soon right?

subscribed

Yeah, they don't sag until the end of the night maybe a couple hours before bed time. I think they're just tired after a hard day of growing. Nutes are at 550 and ph is chilling between 5.8 and 6. Res temps are 76-78. Lots of little leaves growing at the crux of the established leaves.

I'm going to do 2 week 3's if they do well like this and then move to week 4. The second week 3, I will increase dosage, week 4 will be at 1/2 recommended strength and the second week 4 will be increased accordingly.

Then I will switch to flower. I want some good sized plants for 2 reasons.

1. I want to be able to take plenty of clones

2. This first 3 plants I am growing will be my personal smoke until the clones are established, grown and finished.

I am going to be building and aero cloner according to stinkbud's tutorial. So I have to buy neoprene collars and clonex next time I take a trip to the shop. With any luck it will be this week/weekend.

Any advice on topping laserbrn or bobsmith?

No opinion on topping anyone???

Gonna hit up HTG in the morning and get neoprene collars, cloning gel, submersible pump and a couple other things. Im going to start putting together an aero cloner soon. I'll be needing it very soon if they keep up the path they are on...
