I picked up a 4x4 tent and a mars fce4800 to hunt a bunch of strains outside of my big rooms. This thread will just cover the tent. Other rooms in the other thread lol. So first up, the pots and medium. These will be 1 gallon bucket co buckets of coco being hand fed pure blend pro and power si. I just popped seeds for the first round in the tent. Mostly copycat genetics. S1 of Rainbow sherbert 11, oreo bigstuff, cereal milk and grand daddy pluto. Some bodhi hindu hashplant, williams wonder f4s, and hazemans blue bubba also are in the thunderdome. Hoping to stuff in 16, sog style to do quick turn around hunts. Looking for a nice additiin to the big rooms.

Seeing as how the plants in the dome have a ways to go before they are ready, i think i will flower out a few big mothers i have in the tent first. 1 gmo, 1 mimosa,1lemon leaning miracle fruit and a cherry punch.

So i decided to go back to pire blend after running athena for the past 5 cycles in my other rooms. The quality was just lacking for me. The nugs were curing dark and the plants werwnt geowing how they should have even when i follwed their feeding schedule. I do however still use their stack and ipm foliar.

So im waiting on some supplies to get here before i start flowering in the tent. Its all set up minus the carbon filter and fans. Ive got 4 big plants that i plan on putting in. 1 gmo, 1 slh leaning miracle fruit , a nice cherry punch and a deathstar bx. The nursery is jamming with cuts and seeslings so after this first set come out of the tent itll be used specifically for pheno hunting.

So last night i did a pre flower strip and finished vetting the tent all set up. I had to do somr improvising to get my oscilating fan hung. Ended up putting an extra shelf i had in and using that as a mounting panel. The tents ready to get to rocking as soon as i find my timer lol. But just for reference on my strip job, i took a before and after of my miraclr fruit lemon haze leaner. I just love the smell of this strain. Its lemony with a hazey back end. It produces very well and the nugs come out pretty nice. Its not uncommon to pull 8 9 z from a 3gallon.

So right now the light is full blast. I stay around 500ppfd in veg and shoot for 1100 or so max in flower. Since i just dropped the plants in yesterday ill keep it full blast but high up for the firat day or two and then lower to my liking. My hlg rspec dont get closer than 16inches, my scorpions 6 to 8 inches.

I finally dial'd up my hlg since its been cold and even lowered it down. Seedlings in coco and some in pro mix and noticed the mediums were pretty low temp so think the extra heat should help w slow growth.

How the Williams Wonders doing? Lots of people used to run that on CW/OG.

So the williams wonder is an f4 from seed. I dropped 11 seeds and 2 came up. This one has shown as a female and is growing aS the typical indica. Short and squat with super wide leaves. My hlgs dont put off much heat at all.

Filled in quick. Is it at 100% and what ec are you at now?

So I checked runoff. Way off. Was way over what I was feeding and ph was 6.5. Trying to reset it. I had to be giving them too much.
