Echo's 600W Tent

[echo1031]

Hello everyone!
Well first off I have one other grow under my belt which was roughly four to five years ago. So i'm just getting my feet back into the water with this one. Im using a 3.5'x3.5'x8' oasis grow tent along with a 600W dim able ballast and using Sunmaster Blue Ice 5500K metal halide for veg and Sunmaster Super high pressure sodium bulbs for flower. As for the hood I just have a Yieldmaster II. So lets get started! Im using about four year old Mr Nice Seedbank Master Kush Skunk X Afghan Haze. I germinated the seeds with the moist paper towl method and all four popped after 24hrs. They were planted May 11th and broke soil May 13th. Currently have my light dimmed down to 400W to be on the safe side. They are being watered with R/O water which I added a pinch of Cal-Mag too and the water is at 95PPM and 6.3 PH. Will probably bump the PPM up to 200 after a few more nodes come in.
Well here are the pictures, thanks for following and I'm looking forward to updating often and getting everyone's input on the grow!

Heres a shot of the Tent;

Not sure how to edit post on here but the media that im using is Fox Farm Ocean Forrest, not quiet sure what nutrient line I will use. Wont have to make that decision for a week or two once FFOF is pretty packed out of the bag. Also using G-Lite fabric pots.

Was bored today so I went ahead and built my scrog net. Just some 3/4" sch 40 PVC and some all natural plant tie. Wasn't sure on the hole size i've seen many different ones I ended up using 2.5"

So I ordered a new fan this weekend it arrived today. As we all know summers come and that means heat. Decided its worth the little cash to ditch the four inch centrifugal fan and upgrade to a six inch hyper fan. Ill let you guys know if it makes a difference, but I must say this little fan is a beast and awesome with a built in speed controller.

hey man very clean setup all the best with your grow

 

[DuStain]

Those Hyperfans are so awesome. Nice setup man.

Yea ive heard great things about them, I live in a desert so heat is a major issue out here in the summer lol hoping this will help out a bit. Thanks guys!

Put the new fan in the other day and didn't make any major drops Im running around 86* during day time and drops down to low 70's at night. Should be alright but have been thinking of trying a swamp cooler once I'm in a low humidity area generally run 15-25%. But anyways here is some pictures of the babies

Yea im excited especially once I haven't find too much information on this strain.

So the plants are eighteen days old today and they have some made some progress. They just got a feeding of R/O Water with CalMag and was around 220PPM and a PH of 6.7.

 

[echo1031]

So they had there first feeding of Fox Farm Grow Big the other day and have also had some Great White added into the mix. The front left seems to be the runt of the family haven't noticed any real growth upwards in a while now. Just seems like they are growing slowly, any opinions ?

I dig the grow bags, classy for sure. You're off to a fast, flawless start - seedlings can sometimes grow at only half the rate of yours. Happy growing!

 

[echo1031]

That's definitely reassuring. Also have got the temps under control at a high of 84 during peak heat hours. I know not ideal but I don't for see any issues from it

 

[echo1031]

Thought i'd add this here. I got these before they were named Master Kaze. Not sure if there is any genetic change in the new renamed seeds or not.

 

[echo1031]

Alright so time to annoying you guys with another update haha. So its been exactly one month since I put these seeds in the ground. I think im doing pretty good thus far. They have only had two feedings of FF Grow Big and I added Great White at a 1/2 strenght. Let me know what you guys think!

 

[Kindest]

Very good, looks like you're right on track. I'll keep watching this since I'm a very similar setup and just a few days behind your seed date!

 

[tleaf jr.]

Those babies look superb my man

 

[echo1031]

Alright time for an update. The screen is now in the tent and three of them area bout to start the process. What should I do with this little bush that doesn't want to grow upwards in the front corner.? Just let it be until it reaches the screen?

 

[echo1031]

Also they are getting fed around 800 PPM which contains Cal-Mag. Grow Big and Great White. Ill probably only give them one more dosage of Great White in the later of next week.
