Hello, mi fellow tokers!

This is my second grow, and I just felt like sharing.

I'm growing in a Secred Jardin 40 tent, which is 40x40x120 cm.
and using 250W 2700k LE, and 4x55W 2700 PL-L lights.

I've planted 4 nirvanas feminized bubblicious into 4 1,74 gallon buckets using soil mixed with perlite as medium.

Later on I will use Canna terra flores and PK13-14.

This is a pic of day 18 from seed and day 2 in bloom:

Will update more later on, hope u enjoy!

I built a flower tent just like that. I used 2x3's and black and white poly. I used mine for seed runs. I did one run in it, with a male and one female, scored myself 150 seeds. The next run i used my "father" male, with four different females, and got a thousand or better(didn't bother counting, too many.) I love what you can with small spaces, always has my brain working!!

UPDATE

Everything is going just fine, I've started feeding with canna terra flores and they really seem to like it. Had a little heat problem when the plants touched the bulbs but its fixed and none to be bothered with anymore.
All four girls has showed me their calyxes and seem to be very happy, this is a pic from day 16 under 12/12:

Do you have space to put that bulb horizontally? I'd say it would be much more efficient that way. Better light distribution and more lumens reaching the plants!

Good luck with your grow!

UPDATE

This is a pic four days after last pic 20th day 12/12, here it shows how I fixed the heat problem:

And exploziv, there is no room to but it horizontally. But I think the light will do great work later on when the plants have stretched a little more so that they "cover" the light.

That is an awesome setup! i love the symmetry with all the bulbs. Nive even coverage. Don't see a lot of vert setups using flouros.:lurk:
In regards to that comment about the bulb, somebody on this forum had a light output tester(*?) and they measured the bulb from underneath with it horizontal and vertical and they reckon it was putting out more light in the vertical position. Which stumped me... But just thought id let ya know.

I got nostalgic and just wanted to finish this thread and at the same time noticed that the pics i posted 9 years ago was not longer viewable, so above is the 4 pics i first posted in this thread and some "newer" ones later from the garden. Awesome journey and the yield was insane for this small space, amazing taste (curated for a long time and really got the unique bbg taste from it)

Peace out!
