that’s an odd size. Hopefully you found one. When I transplant my autos they are going into 5 gal pots. Photo plant going in 7gal.

These ladies been in happy frog & perlite for 4 days now. The one’s with the shells still holding on by the membrane are both off now. Gonna try to keep these misfits short n stout while my other tent finishes up. Got plenty of time. Just wanted to share. Was gonna start a journal but posted it in the wrong place and I kinda switched a few plans so that won’t be updated. I’ll post here and there on this same thread. No need to make another. I won’t have time to post it all anyways. Busy season coming up. Cheers :joint:053D1AE0-22B6-4032-93A9-F676B7940D2F.jpegD0960226-A023-49C0-BFC1-3CC4692800AE.jpegFE73E495-0649-49E8-BEA6-C3C240771B76.jpegFE6103EB-DFE6-4D89-8744-ADCE7F755339.png

Progress:
All 3 standing up looking good so far. Upgraded from using a sprayer to using a dropper. Dripping 5ml in a little circle around the base of the stems. Also let the cups sit in a tray and wick up about an inch of water to moisten up the bottom half of the cup. And prep it for the upcoming days as the roots grow.
Question.. anyone ever bottom feed water with Mykoz in it before with noticeable results?
I’d probably have to grind it up a little and use more water if I did it.

when the little ones wake up they will be waking up to the spider farmer sf1000. Probably still going to Keep the cfls in there.

sf1000 is good for 3x3 veg/2x2 flower. are you in a 2x4 tent? Cuz that's what I have. I'd put 3 in there. 4 is overkill.

Been doing my research trying to decide on which lights to purchase/use. My tent size will be 6ft by 3ft 6ft tall. the 100 watt lights are actually around 100 watts pull from the wall/socket. Each 1000 covers 2x2 optimally, sometimes less. So four 1000's in a 4x4 would give very good coverage, according to my research.
I have also discovered the watt per square foot concept. So each 1000 light unit which is actually 100 watt light covers 2x2ft optimal in flower so four 1000's in a 4 by 4 tent would equal 50 watts per sq foot. Whereas two 1000's covering the same area would only yield 25 watts per sq ft. For optimal light saturation you want to be aiming for 50 watts per sq foot. Although you can grow with a lot less, I think one should aim for at least 25 watts per sq foot. In my 18 sq ft area i will be having at minimum two 1000's (which are really 100 watts) and I've found a lovely 3000 watt (285 at the wall/plug) unit, which will take me to 26.9 watts per square foot. If I added another 3000 (285 at the wall) that would take me up to 770 watts and 42 watts per square foot and i think that would be more than sufficient. but to get to the 50 watt per sq ft I would need to get up to 900 watts total light output (from the wall). So that would be three 3000's (285 from the plug). Obviously heat extraction would have to be up to par for such an undertaking. I'll start off with the two 100's and the 285 watts to start off with and see how things look. but I suspect I will end up with two 285's on each end of the tent and a 100 in the middle maybe two. we shall see. so that would come up to between 670 total watts 37 watts per sq ft and 770 total watts 42 watt's per sq ft. Watch this space.

Day 7 from seed. Day 4 out of the soil. Standing at 1 1/2” for the Auto’s and 1 1/4” for the pp. humidifier on the fritz but a new one will be here soon. They seem to be doing fine with me spraying the soil and inside the cups. 8E1D44EA-C47B-44BE-B537-13BDA521743A.jpegA315B478-B592-4DCE-B4BF-F59DFE4952A1.jpegCF643A52-566F-4D6A-83C0-BF394E432171.jpegA8BF1D6D-0947-4E1D-81EB-9C0AA1193BC2.jpeg

I have a 2x4ft tent. I have an SF2000 from @Spiderfarmerled on the way to me as we speak.

When it gets here. I will be putting it in the 2x4. And my plants will be moved over to the 2x4 tent along with the sf1000 that’s in the 2x2 tent. So I will be running 300w actual draw of spider farmer goodness in my tent. Way better than my last light.
Thinking of another tent so another sf2000 may be needed.

Did you actually find a 6x3 tent?? Can you give me a link please if possible? Someone needed help on that size.

I have the SF-2000 in a 2x4 tent, it is plenty of light for that size tent.
