So I have

3 cerberus (6/6 germ, 2 seedlings died, 3/4 female)
2 mothers milks (6/6 germ, 2/6 female)
2 satsumas (3/3 germ, 2/3 female)
2 ace of spades (2/2 germ, 2/2 female)
1 tangerine power (2/2 germ, 1/2 female)
1 agent orange (3/3 germ, 1/3 female)
1 west coast sour diesel (1/1 germ, 1/1 female)
1 tahoe (1/1 germ, femanized)
1 headband (1/1 germ, femanized)


In my incredibly overstuffed 5x5x7 tent, 1000w hps, forget the company of ballast but same quality/price range as gavita. Air cooled tube hooked up to a stealth f6 435cfm on a speed controller and hooked up to a can33 carbon filter. Also a mini little oscillating fan stealing precious real estate in my tent. It maintains about a 75-80F temperature depending on whether the AC is on or off. On 12/12 I doubt it will even see the 80F mark regardless of AC.

Everything is in 4 gallon pots except the wcsd which I added into the garden very late, so she is in a 3gal. And I also have 2 cuts of sinmint I ran (tryna see if I can dial it better), and both a clone of the HB and Tahoe, these are all in 2.5gal. The clones are all in a coco mix with a lot of perlite, fresh water fish mulch, worm castings, eggshells, a small bit of spent coffee grounds and very small pieces of banana peel.

The big ladies are in mainly peat moss with similar ingredients but when I upgraded from 3gal to 4gal I only added coco so it is at this point around 1/4 coco.

I just switched to 12/12 and will post a pic of each plant as soon as I get on my laptop. The pics arent the greatest, I generally suck at taking veg pics but in a cpuple weeks time the good pics will start rolling out I'm sure.

Nice line up you have there oldirtybastard!

That is a crowded tent how are you fitting all those girls in there? I run the same size tent, the 6 girls I have are not very big but filling out the tent pretty well, I do have plenty of wiggle room but im not sure if I could cram 8 more plants on top of them.

Count me in for the show I'm pulling up a chair.

Last grow was first time with a tent, I completely undershot how many I needed or could fit and didn't veg them long enough, was really disappointed with yield. This time the complete opposite, a bit too much veg time and overstuffed tent. However I do still have a fan in there and with the majority of the light's heat being taken out, so I think it is still optimal. It kinda looks like a SOG setup when I look in there, I think as long as I make sure everything is lolly-popped nicely I will be happy. I am still getting used to growing in a tent but if I get a solid yield I will probably stick by this.

There was more room before when it was just the big ladies but I decided to throw in a few extra clones in smaller pots simply because I felt the light penetration was ample.

But yes it is a major pain in the ass having to pull out 2-3 plants just to water. Or the fact that this little veg photoshoot took about 2 hours due to the lack of space. And this will make matters worse I think my tent might actually be 4x4x7 not 5x5x7 (memory sucks). But seeing as most of the 4x4x7 tents call for 600-800w maybe the 1000w is what is making it feasible.

Props for fitting it all in and taking em out for photos, I know it can be a bitch. I finally got out of a tent this year, it feels so nice to be in the room with the ladies and walk around them.

Is this your first time running those tga strains? The agent orange likes to stretch, and I have one that is at least a foot taller then the other 3. So far 2 have orange scents, one rind and one sweet orange. One piney/citrus and the tallest has no aroma.

Yeah first time with any TGA, first time with orange strains as well.

Compared to the Satsuma and Tangerine Power it seems to have the most dominate fruity smell, when I clean the bottom up a bit or rub the stem I tend to get a mango-citrus sweet smell. The TP is also "a select cut of Agent Orange" crossed with Blue Power.

Gotcha, I know the troubles, this is my first round in a tent and first time using 1000w. Previously used 600w and 400w set ups. I did start with 12 plants before the males popped up. I could fit more in my tent the way it is. Will probably take a few runs to get everything figured out in terms of filling up the floor space and light penetration. I look forward to seeing how everything works out on your run, Im here for the show.

lol if you have a 4x4x7 makes it even more crowded, nice work.

Hope all is good and green for you and yours.

Wow I went out of my way to get clips/pulley to hang my light because I couldnt remove any more links from the chain without it being a hassle.

"Rising sun xxl clips" = complete garbage. As I was using the pully system to bring the light higher it snapped. I managed to catch it a bit but the sheet metal cut my fingers pretty good and it still hit a few plants hard and broke some of their best branches. Most importantly though, the light is fine.

It says it supports up to 75lbs, my light and hood are definitely not even over 25lbs. Word to the wise stick to the chains/metal.

 

[oldirtybastard]

more bad news, my west coast sour diesel by medman has hermed up.

honestly pretty disappointed because it does have a nice sour smell and looks really nice.

I kinda wanna finish it outside but dont know if it is even worth it. it doesnt just have a few nanners to pick off but about 50% of bud sites are throwing balls atm.

not gonna write medman off by any means (first seed ive even popped by him) but I am pretty disappointed, seeing as the 15 other plants in my room are perfectly fine.
