Hi! This is my second hps grow. My first attempt at a donut ended up more like a tubular jungle and was pretty underwhelming. I wasn't reading icmag tips/grows at the time so I didn't realise things like bulb height were so important. I also only realised this grow that my extraction fan was set on low, lol.
I made a few big improvements in the cab too and it all seems to be paying off. I also switched it up this round from bagseed to the awesome Trainwreck x Princess Diesel. These are new seeds from a very generous 'magger since I lost the ones I was growing a while back. A gentleman and a scholar you are, thanks.
There's three of the Trainwrecks and two clones of the only bagseed pheno that I liked. I also had a bagseed clone spare so that's still in veg and will go outside in some weeks or so.
Here's the stumpy TW I take out of the doorway to allow access:
Another TW:
Please feel free to comment on anything. In fact I got a question:
Should I remove those side bits for better air flow? And does it matter that I have a pretty low grow but a high ceiling? Do people ever use like a mini chinahat or similar when the bulb is raised high?
Thanks for lookin! Happy 420.
