Hey narnia! How's it going mate? Are you a psychic because big things are happening in the future. Here is a taste right here. :)

I got my flowering tent set up last night and hung my light in it as well to check for light leaks. Now all I have to do is get my exhaust fan mounted, get a carbon filter and an oscillating fan. After that I have to wait until I can take a few clones to start flowering the Chronic ladies. My brother is coming to visit me next week and he is bringing the rest of my seedstock and my seedling heating pad(new costs $25 that I can't afford) so I can start taking clones as soon as possible.

I'm going to be pushing the limits here and shooting for 1g per watt. With the Chronic it should be obtainable. Saw a grow a few years back on here, he pulled a little over a elbow from under a 400W with 1 Chronic plant so I am very optimistic. Well without further ado, lets take a look at the tent! :)

picture.php

This is the tent all closed up. You can see the HPS glow just barely through the vent in the bottom left of the tent. We stepped outside to see what it looked like from the outside. It looks like a warm white bulb burning in a small lamp. I am going to have to do something about that but considering its 400W of light, it masks it very well.

picture.php

This is the tent with the door open. Now there are 2 doors to this thing. One is the one that I am using, looks like a camping tent door. The other side(should have take pics) opens completely. It has 2 flaps that zip at the top and bottom and they connect in the middle and zip up together to close up. I opted for the door pictured so that when I am in the thing working, it's not full blast HPS glow coming out. Besides closing one zipper is easier than trying to close 3 if I need to close it quickly.

picture.php

The construction of the tent is awesome! This is the part I like the most. All vents have this flap that covers them so that no light leaks in or out. The velcro is very strong! The material reminds of of the same thing that bubble bags are made of. There are several vents on either side and on the top for exhausting. I think you can use up to a 6" duct with this tent.

picture.php

This is the passive intake vents. There is one on either side and there is one on the door flap. Great design for me because I hate having to use an intake fan.


I shall return later and continue the adventures in the tent! Next time we will travel inside and marvel at the wonders of Cal's Flowering Tent. Take care everyone! Keep it danK! :joint:

Grazie franki! Spero che tutto a posto da te! L'inglese era perfetto! :wave:

ixnay I grow it right next to my cannabis in my veg closet bro. :)

I will try and get the rest of the pics of my tent up today. I hung the exhaust fan up and the tent has been running for about 2 days on a 12/12 cycle. I want to get my bill to start matching so when I do have plants in there I am not turning it on right away and getting a small spike in my bill all of a sudden. My brother comes in tomorrow afternoon with the rest of my seed stock and my germinating pad. If I can't get pics up today, I will include them with my weekly update tomorrow or Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by guys. Be safe and keep it dank! :joint:

Ciao franki,

No tutte le mie lampade, atrezzi, ventilatori sono state comprate nei Stati Uniti.
[No, all my lamps, tools, fans were all bought in the US]

I am waiting for my brother to get up so that I can take some pictures. My car broke down so I am set back on money a little. My bro wasn't able to get my seeds to me. I am keeping them at a friends house back home and he works 2 jobs and is hardly home so there wasn't a time for him to go down there and get them. I will have something up a little later on today(weed permitting). In the meantime here are the rest of the pics of my tent. :)
[Sto apesttando che mio fratello si sveglia per fare foto. La mia macchina se rotta cosi sui soldi sto un po giu(come si dice a napoli, l'acqua e poco e a papera nu gallegia) Mio fratello non mi poteva portare i miei semi. Li ho a casa di un amico mio e lui ha 2 lavori e non sta mai a casa cosi non c'era un momento che mio fratello posa prenderli. Avro qualcosa qui dopo(se permette l'erba). Nel fratempo, qui sono le foto della mia tenta. :)]

I will be doing my posts in English and Italian so that all my peeps back in Italy can check out my thread as well.
[Faro i miei post in Inglese ed Italiano cosi tutti Italiani possano legere anche loro il mio thread.]

Full on HPS glow.
[La lampada HPS che illumina.]

This is the lower left side of the tent(sides are always my left and right facing the tent).
[Questa e il lato sinistra per terra(Ogni lato e la mia sinistra o la mia destra quando sto di fronte alla porta della tenta).]

picture.php

Lower right side.
[Lato destra per terra.]

picture.php

Upper left side. I love the vents everywhere. You can vent the light and the tent separately without any problems.
[Lato sinistra in alto. Amo le aperture da per tutto. Puoi ventilare la lampada e la tenta separati sensa problemi.]

picture.php

Upper right side. This is the side where you can hang your fan and your carbon filter. The tent came with adjustable straps to hang a fan and filter so no need for bungies unless you want to use them.
[Lato destra in alto. Su questo lato e dove si appende un ventilatore e filtro di carbone. La tenta ha incluso di certe cinture per appendere il ventilatore e il filtro cosi non ce bisogno delle molle se non li vuoi usare.]

Intake vent flaps.
[Appertura d'aria fresca.]

Take it easy everyone and stay safe, I'll see you all later! Keep it dank!

Ok finally home! I have been trying to get my car mobile again and I will have to wait until Monday to fix it.
[Ok, finalmente a casa! Stavo cercando di adjustare la mia macchina e adesso devo aspetare per Lunedi per farlo.]

Here are the updates:
[Ecco qui le update:]

picture.php

Here are the 4 Chronic Mothers. #1 and #4 share the same growth structure and #2 and #3 share the same growth structure. I think I might have the 2 different phenotypes. :)
[Ecco le 4 Madre Chronic. #1 e #4 hanno una struttura di crescita simile ed #2 e #3 hanno una struttura di crescita simile. Penso che forse ho le due fenotipi. :)]

picture.php

Here are some of the pre-flowers on Chronic #1. This one and #4 really want to flower bad. They started to show their pre-flowers first.
[Qui ci sono un paio dei pre-fiori su Chronic #1. Questa e #4 da vero vogliono fiorare tantisimo. Erano le prime a fare vedere i pre-fiori.]

picture.php

Here is another pic of Chronic #1. It shows the same pre-flowers and the set below it.
[Ecco un altra foto di Chronic #1. Si vedi i stessi pre-fiori e anche il set sotto di questi.]

picture.php

Here is the top of Chronic #3. You can see the pre-flowers at 2nd node down. Notice these are smaller than the pre-flowers on #1. This one and #2 started to show pre-flowers a few days after #1 and #4.
[Qui e la nuova crescita(top) di Chronic #3. Si puo vedere i pre-fiori al secondo nodo. Se fa attenzione si vede che questi pre-fiori sono piu piccoli di quelli su #1. Questa e #2 incomincio a fare vedere i pre-fiori un po di giorni dopo #1 e #4.]

The seem to be doing well but they seem to be deficient in something, I'm thinking it's still N but maybe more experienced eyes can spot something I am not seeing. :)
[Sembrano che stanno tutti bene pero mi sembra che ce qualche nutriente che non ce ne abastanza. Io sto pensando che e ancora N ma forse un paio d'occhi con piu esperienza possano vedere qualcosa che io non vedo. :)]

A few extra pics:
[Un po di foto extra:]

picture.php

All the plants I have going right now in Veg. The Chronics are the ones closest to the camera, the ones behind those are the Jack Herers and the little sprouts are Grape Punch from BOG. One of the GP seeds ended up being a twin. The other smaller twin has not come up through the surface but I know its there.
[Tutte le mie piante che ho adesso in Veg. Le Chronic sono quelli piu vicino alla macchina fotografica, quelli dietro a loro sono i Jack Herer ei piccoli sono Grape Punch da BOG. Uno dei semi di GP e diventado gemello. Quello piu piccolo ancoro deve uscire dalla terra ma lo so che ci sta.]

picture.php

Here are the 3 Jack Herers and the 3 Grape Punch. The Grape Punch closest to the camera is the twin. The seed had 2 separate taproots coming out when I popped them. The last time that happened to me was with Sensi Star from Paradise Seeds(Standard).
[Ecco sono i 3 Jack Herers ei 3 Grape Punch. Il Grape Punch piu vicino alla macchina fotografica e il gemello. Il semo aveva due radici separati uscendo dal semo quando li ho incominciati. L'ultima volta che mie successo questo fatto era con Sensi Star di Paradise Seeds(Standard).]

Well that's all I have for now folks. Thanks for stopping by and stay safe. Keep it dank! :joint:
[Beh, questo e tutto ragazzi. Grazie per venuti e state sicuri. Fatelo sempre buono! :joint:]

Hey Franki! Plants are doing good. I tried typing an update up twice and lost all the work both times. I am going to do a super 2 week update later today. Sorry for being so quiet! Life is happening. :)
[Ciao Franki! Le piante stanno bene. Ho provato di fare un update due volte e tutte due volte ho perso tutto che ho scritto. Faro un super update di 2 settimane un po piu dopo oggi. Scusate per il mio silencio! La vita succede. :)]

As you can see things are doing good. The tops some of the leaves are twisting, probably from touching the lamps. It seems every time I raise the lamps, the next day the tops are touching them again. I might do some LST on them to keep them from growing too tall. I also took 2 clones off each plant(like my ghetto domes?). As soon as these root the moms are gonna go into flower. :)
[Come se vede, le cose vanno bene. Le foglie sulle cime si sono contorti, probabilmente perche toccano le lampade. Mi sembra ogni volta che alzo le lampade il prossimo giorno le cime gia li stanno toccando un altra volta. Forse faro un po di LST(allenamento di stress leggero) con loro per fermarli a crescere cosi alti. Ho fatto anche 2 clone da ogni pianta(ti piace le mie tente?). Apena vedo radice sui clone, metto le madre a fiorare. :)]

I have a ton of more pics that I took last night. I have to go to the club and get my meds(been off of them all day yesterday and this morning). When I return I shall post up some more pics. Jack Herers have been sexed and I have 1 male and 2 females. The females 1 looks good and the other is having some kinda lock out it seems. Still growing but its growing odd. Anyway I gotta go. Keep it safe everyone!
[Ho un sacco di foto che ho fatto ieri sera. Devo andare a un club sta mattina per predere la mia medicina(non la prendo per una giornata intera e anche sta mattina). Quando ritorno rincomincero ad agiungiare le altre foto. I Jack Herers si sono fatti vedere che sesso sono. Ho un maschio e 2 femmine. Le femmine una sembra benisimo e l'altra sta avendo qualche problema con lock out dei nutrienti. Sta crescendo ma un po strano. Ok devo andare. Stammi bene tutti!]

Well yesterday was a long a day so I didn't get around to posting the rest of the pics. I have some time now so I decided to go ahead and post them now. :)
[Beh ieri era una giornata lunga e non avevo tempo per agiungere le altre foto. Ho un po di tempo adesso cosi ho deciso di farlo adesso. :)]

I am not really 100% sure what is going on with this one. I think its getting too much P and locking out the Fe. I'm going to back off the FF Big Bloom and make a tea from nori seaweed I have sitting around. I don't think it is a pH issue but I have not tested that theory yet. Help is always appreciated. :)
[Non sono 100% di sicuro che succede con questa. Sto pensando che forse ce troppo P e la pianta non sta asorbendo Fe. Pesno che fermero di usare FF Big Bloom e fare un te da Nori Giaponese che ho in casa. Non penso che e un fatto di pH ma non ho fatto prove su questa teoria. L'aiuto e sempre apprezzato. :)]

Jack Herer #2

This one looks way better! This one seems to be the keeper but I want to wait and see what the buds look like first. :)
[Questa si vede che sta meglio della prima. Sembra di essere la madre migliore ma voglio aspetare per fiori prima che faccio questa supposizione. :)]

Jack Herer #3

"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" The male. More indica, don't know what I'd use him for but I am going to see what he does and maybe it might be something special.
["Romeo, Romeo perche sei tu Romeo?" Il maschio. Piu indica, non so per che cosa lo userei ma vedro che fara e forse sara qualcosa di speciale.]

That's all for now folks. Keep it dank! :joint:
[Questo e tutto per adesso signori! Fatelo sempre buono! :joint:]

Thanks for stopping by Mr-B! Yes I also think it will. I wish I would have gotten one when I first started growing. Would have made things so much easier! Thanks again for stopping by. Keep it dank! :wave:
[Grazie per venuto Mr-B! Si anche io penso che la tenta sara piu facile. La dovevo comprare da quando ho iniziato a crescere. Le cose sarrebeno stati molto piu facile. Grazie un altra volta per venuto. Fallo sempre buono! :wave:]

Plants are looking good, wish I could use a tent and hps. What ferts are you using?
[Le piante sembrano a posto, anche io desiderei usare una tenta e una lampada HPS. Che fertilizzanti stai usando?]

Hey Rex, thanks for stopping by! I am using Pure Blend Original Grow and FF Big Bloom in very small doses for micro nutrients. I will be switching to Pure Blend Original Bloom and FF Big Bloom in a higher dosage for flowering. I am on a budget right now. I would be using B'cuzz Grow, Bloom and Root as addatives and Superthrive for vitamins and amino acids. Hopefully I can get some money together here shortly and really get this off the ground. Thanks again for stopping by mate! Keep it dank! :wave:
[Ei Rex, grazie per venuto! Sto usando Pure Blend Original Grow e Fox Farm Big Bloom in piccole dosi per micro nutrienti. Cambiero a Pure Blend Original Bloom e Fox Farm Big Bloom ad un piu alto dosaggio per fiorare. Sto senza soldi adesso. Userei B'cuzz Grow, Bloom e Root come additivi e Superthrive per vitamine e amminoacidi. Spero di prendere soldi nei prossimi giorni e da vero iniziare con questa operazione. Grazie per venuto man! Fallo sempre buono! :wave:]
