This is the 100% medical grow. I have been able to take a room and staple up a 10'x25' black and white ploy to create a tent. I was able to get my hands on a 2000w HPS light/hood/fan/ballast. I am plotting a 6inch duct intake/exhaust cooling system for the light. Tent cooling: Exhaust plotting a 120mm fan + 8inch hole + ducting + trash can lid. Trash can lid will be loaded with a cage and 4-5 80mm fans. Placed right OVER the light. Intake: 12-16inch hole + cardboard box + (optional) 4-5 80mm fans + 4-5 4inch ducting + 4-5 80mm fans + hooked to trash can corner. Air Movement: 16inch 3 speed oscillating fan.

Plan to make a wooden/pvc frame 4'x4'x3'1" or 5'x4'x3'1" with copper wire 3"x3" hole fence. Still plotting the fence/cage. It will be 2' above the trash cans.

The light is 6' 6" from the ground. The fence will be 3'1" from the ground. So plant growth room would be 3'5". That is if I decide to keep the light stationary.

Odor control I was thinking of potpourri, so I bought 1 Lb lavender and rose pedals/buds and 50 3"x4" screen bags. Not sure how solid of an idea, but if it has an effect I save 100$. I didn't buy a temperature/humidity reader. Might need to.

This is going to be a 4-way LST Scrog grow. So when the time is right, they will be topped. Then transfered into bigger pots. By that time I hope to have my tent fully operational. A lot of bags of soil are needed. 5 seeds (3 healthy 2 green shell) My first 3 babies (A B C) are in their 14 days of soil life. (A_green B_green) are in 2 days of soil life. They were germinated in a cup of water.

I am feeding them with rain water that I have collected. pH of that is 6.0 (kit says). I add 1 drop of BLUE pH up. The new reading is BLUE (NOTHING ON THE CHART). I think I followed the directions right. I don't know what I did wrong. So I need to calibrate my pen. I also thought I did this right; the readings are off by .5. I am not to certain how well the pH pen is going to work. Until the next time.

Total Invested : 140$
Maybe Future : 100$-200$.

Let the Healing Begin. Feel Free.

nice set up got a front row seat for this sub'd

I have decided to switch out the warmwhite with a daylight. I feel that the WW was keeping Baby C and her nodes short and compact. I don't need to worry about this AS much as before, since the 1000w. And B_G is dead and gone. RIP

looks good r2, i thought you had another grow, is that the one that is gone?

Liking the setup good luck with this

Really sick set up you should get some nice looking plants, subbed for sure.

Yes B_G failed to sprout and A_G was not at the speed I want. Seeds were too weak. Off to the hydro shop to fill my truck to buy supplies. It’s time to show a completed tent.

Thanks, I got very lucky with the light. Or else this would be in the CFL section. With only one plant to show off.

That’s the plan going to be a good 3-4 months of time and care. Hoping to put on an amazing show.
Now for the update- Today when I felt it was time to water my girls I noticed some rust spots on all 3 first true leaves =/ and some slight discoloring on a A B first fan leaves. So it was time to work; 2 hours later my waters ph lvl at 6.5-7 according to the color chart on the indicator. As well the pen reads a ph of 4.5... Odd is the only word. So I watered all 3 with the newly pHed until the half full gallon of water container was empty. I have put them to sleep right now-they should be fine-. When morning comes for me, I plan to buy some distilled water and re-flush the lot. Thinking about cutting for clones. Till next time RIU.

hell yeah r2, looking great man, way to go!! + rep to ya.

So I woke a little while ago, and i just checked them now. The signs of rust are growing so i am off to Safeway RIGHT NOW to buy some water. I will post pictures of them in a while.

Paid $1.50 for 3 gallons of distilled water. Feed 1 liter per cup. Going to let them sleep for another night. I am thinking of switching the cycle to 18/6. I thinking of easing them into it though. 1 night be 23/1, the next 22/2, and so on . That's all for now.

yeah r2, thats how i revegged my clones and it worked great.

Funny thing. When I turned the lights on to microscope my babies. The tops look like flowering tops. A bright green. So they are on 23/1. I am going to top them when it's time to water. The stems are getting thick. I plan to supercrop them after topping. It might add stress, but as I said their stems look thick and a green healthy.

Merry Christmas r2!!

i wouldnt supercrop them yet , wait for that main stalk to get at least 10 inches tall or so, that way when you do crop her she will have a shit ton more nodes = shit ton more vertical shoots

Project has been ended. Peace out and all of you be SAFE!
