1st Official Grow - 1000w MH/HPS & UVB - SS White Russian & Kali Mist

Hopefully this isn't too long for everyone to read. I like being thorough when I type so apologies in advance lol

DR150 Tent 4'11" x 4'11" x 6'7" Only issue I have with it is that there isn't a way to zip the entry up when inside which means that during watering, the odor is just flowing out like crazy. I turn the fan off and try not to bump them too much but it's a little hard not to. I may have to think of some way to rig such a thing

SuperSun 2 Air Cooled Hood

1000w Sunmaster MH Conversion Bulb & Lumilux HPS

Can50 Carbon Filter (Anyone hung such a large filter in a DR tent? Manufacturer says up to 65lbs easily but the filter is 75lbs so I'm apprehensive about hanging it). I would like the extra room if I can get it up top. I'll also replace the standing fan with a couple clip on fans eventually.

Odorsok Filter for hood exhaust (Some may think it's overkill but I'm taking no chances for any sort of odor leak).

6" Inline Exhaust Fan along with 6" ducting only on both the Can50 and hood exhaust

They are currently on Day 15 of Flowering and they are doing great. I am getting nervous regarding the stretching of my Kali's. I may end up learning the lesson of using a scrog to control vertical height as one (potential mother) is about 5' 6" including the bucket of course and I cannot raise the hood any higher. The WR's are beautifully bushy and full oh and I forgot to mention that all were topped but I'm sure most can see this in the pics.

I am using the entire FF Nutrient line along with FFOF soil. I originally cut the amount in half for the first few feedings but I am now at full strength and could actually feed with nutes every feeding but I'm gonna stick to every other feeding to avoid any unneeded stress.

Since I am still a beginner, I certainly welcome any and all questions, comments, concerns, etc. Depending on the amount of interest, I'll update at least once a week if not more if people would like me to.

Some more pics

edit: well they didn't show up so I'm gonna put a bunch in my gallery I guess

edit again. Well I can't believe the file size limit is 100kb for the gallery. That's way too small so if there is any other way to post more pics, I'd love to know how

also is there no way to delete this post? lol

You could try pinching the taller branches on that KM to slow top growth and promote more lateral branching.

Looks good overall. Good strains also.

Thanks for the replies. I just noticed I didn't post any of the entire family.

Kali's in the in the back and on the left of course as their Sativa stretchiness is quite apparent

Where does the scrubber exhaust to?


Up and out the top of the tent

The reason I have it on the floor is it weighs 75lbs and the manufacturer rates the tent to handle 65lbs so I'm kinda apprehensive on hanging it though I know it would be better to be up top.

If anyone knows of someone or who has successfully hung a Can50 in a DR tent, lemme know because it would give me a decent amount of extra space.

Combine that with me eventually getting an overhead fan instead of that standing one that hogs all that space and I'd be able to fit a few more in there at least.

Day 19 and they are doing good. I noticed some nute burn on the lower leaves but most are drooping anyways because the canopy is getting so thick. I'm gonna have to start pruning some of the lower leaves in the next couple days.

Nice... I've got 3 x Kali Mist seeds going in soil tomorrow. I'm also using Ocean Forest, but I'll be using strictly Light Warrior for the seedlings, and then a 50-50 mix. You didn't get any nute burn on the Kali with the Ocean Forest? Did you start them in it as seedlings?

I germinated them in rockwool then planted them directly into the OF and experienced no burn.

Day 23 and they have finally stopped stretching this passed week. Considering that the Kali's are so much taller than the White Russians, I am seriously considering raising all the WR's up on buckets to get them as close to the light as I can without bleaching them. I remember seeing a chart that showed the optimal distance relative to each wattage of power so I'll have to look for that to determine how high I can raise them and if a bucket would exceed that amount.

Here are a few pics but I'll add some close ups a little later

wow I'll have to check but I'm pretty sure it's a Can50. I could have sworn the box said it weighed 75lbs but maybe I was reading something else.

In any case, that's great news as my next grow, I'm planning on building a scrog and only growing one strain so the extra room from raising the scrubber will be awesome.

Thanks!

oh and btw here are some close ups
