Supchaka's Growing Weed! Style and Wattage May Vary!

Ok there, this title should last me forever now right? For people just joining the party heres my info:

12/12 from seed in 1 gal containers.
Local Indica called Peacock.
I have one DOG plant I'm crossing with my Peacock. It'll be named Birddog, credit goes to Jigfresh for that!
4'x2'x5' Tent w/ 6" 440cfm inline fan. I dont use a filter, I vent straight into my attic.
600 watt switchable MH/HPS (I think my next grow may be traditional with a veg cycle, I plan to use my Blackstar 240 to veg with)
Fox Farm Happy Frog with about 30% perlite and another 10% of some mulchy shit I have.
1TBSP bone and blood meal per 1 gal of soil mix.
Botanicare pure blend grow for veg, they only get this maybe once or twice because the ferts in the soil and I start 12/12
Fox Farm Big Bloom for flower. I usually do 1/2 feeding every watering because I'm too lazy to keep track of who gets what on which day.
Super thrive every once in awhile.
I use tap water that sits in a sparkletts bottle, about 225 PPM and PH 7
I think I covered everything. Thanks for joining me in my adventure!!

LOL why not!?

Well one thing I didn't think about putting the fan on the timer. Stinky closet when the light goes off! Wife might have an issue with that. LOL she hasn't even heard the fan yet.

Is it loud? Got to keep those Gals happy....rw

Yeah it's scary loud! The lights were already off when she got home though

I gather she doesn't know about light set up yet? Hopefully she smokes.lol..rw

Subbed for the 150th time hahah... And ya are you sure we are at the final destination? Just messing with ya of course, its looking good. I can't wait to see how your yields increase with that 600w.

LMFAO.....you're harder than following a gobbler near Thanksgiving........LMFAO......might send you a PM, loving the new setup, looks wicked sweet ( thats Boston talk )....

looking good dude...how much did you pay for that light and inline?...sub'd...again

Got them off Craigslist for $200. Had patience and kept looking over about 4 days for the right seller!

After asking hundreds of questions and research i think I'm saving up for my first grow purchase!!! If you can think of anything else I need please speak up!!! I was thinking maybe switch out 600w HPS for a 400w..simply because it's a little cheaper, my light bill would be a little cheaper..and do you think I would lose much yield in a 4X4 tent if I switched to a 400w from the 600w?

I'd do a 3x3 with a 400. Are you not able to use Craig's? I'd always try for used first.

My wife has adjusted quicker than I expected. She said one time something about how loud it is and that was it. 'twas a great day, she had her last final today for nursing school so we went out to Japanese food to celebrate her passing it. Then she snuck into my weed box when I wasnt looking and hit it a few times. Then the night got fun! Ok that's all for now.

Oh and damn it's bright when I open that tent up! I need to clean the glass I noticed but I gotta pull the bulb out to do it so maybe tomorrow I'll get froggy enough.

Yeah I'm still searching around..what kinda yields you pull with 400w in a 3X3?

My bad, I miss read..thought you had one. What kinda yields do you think you could pull out of there?

I'd expect at least a 1/2 gram per watt on anything I did, above that is just extra goodness. So with a 400 I'd want at least 5.5oz off a full tent.

The guy I bought this setup from was selling a full tent. In addition to my stuff he also had a 4x4 tent. Carbon filter, t5 setup for veg, timers, ducting, everything for another $100. Yeah it would have been a no brainer to pick it all up even though I didn't need it but I didn't want to hear the old lady when I came home spending another 100

Could a 400w handle a 4X4 tent or would that need a 600w? I'll be doing 12-12fs too, in probably 2gal pots..any idea how many would fit in a 3X3? Haha do they even make a 3X3 tent?
