Nice setup, I'm curious to see what you can do with that.
If you don't mind,did you use pure coco fiber? Bottom layer? Nothing?
Are you planning to water by hand or something else?

Best luck with your grow

 

[ILoveGod]

hey noreason thanks, Im uing pure coco and i do hand water.

Hi,They're looking fine so far,but i can guarantee that tents gonna get pretty packed out in a few weeks,,,i made the mistake on my first grow in a 4x4,i had 11 plants of various strains and just became a jungle,problems with mould etc,so i cut it down to 9 plants since.
At least you're growing all the one strain,very sensible.so you'll probably have to do some thinning out,I've never grown Alien OG ,so i hope they aren't big bushy giants...

Good looking grow so far, I love alien Og, best of both worlds from my two favorite strains. Definitely thin those ladies and big leaf the crap out of them, maximum light penetration is the key for rent grows, the reflective floor helps bounce light back to the canopy.

Should i top them? i heard they are stretchy

Should i top them? i heard they are stretchy

topping them with only create more lateral growth. leaving/training them as single stalk is probably your best course of action.

I do want the whole 4x4 canopy to fill up to maximize yield

Fuck this grow is going to go big time. You are squeezing every last watt of joy out of that tent there!
I'll be stopping by in here from time to time to have a look see if thats ok. Like your initial set up. Very clean looking.

Have some questions...
What do you plan to do with your waste water? You are not taking them out one by one to water are you? Do you plan to have a large tray? You are hand watering all these right?

 

[ILoveGod]

Here are some updates, once they start touching i will FLIP them 12/12.

 

[ILoveGod]

I dont have any waste water because im just giving them little bit everyday, i dont want to overwater them. I think during flower phase i might have to water them twice a day.

Thanks for stopping by i hope i pull some numbers. I will post the final weight for sure though so we can all learn from this grow

 

[ILoveGod]

I dont know why but everytime i use T5 to veg my stems are very weak. Does anyone have the same effect?

 

[pANicModE]

updates? harvest?

Aloha.i have found the same things with t-5.weak stems for low heat.

Not sure if it matters now, but in the future filling your pots (bags) up with medium will get you more roots. Those look about 10-15% empty, should be filled up nice and high with just enough room to leave space for watering.

did this ever finish?
