SF4000 grow tent, pull up a seat!

Not much to update today! They are taking to the transplant super well, bumped the light up to 50% and they are loving it!

Fan did not arrive today because well...amazon lol but hopefully tomorrow!

Since there isnt much going on I am gonna share some pics of my last grow before I had to shut down. Daughter had some big medical reasons for my shut down was not able to devote the time I needed. I was in a really good spot with my grow but hey life happens and starting over so!

Enjoy the bud porn and what I used to have! haha

They were flood and drain tables that I was running under x4 1000W MH/HPS

I let a trusted friend in on my scheme and he commented that venting moisture into the attic is bad juju: against code, and a good way to get a moldy attic. So I decided to cut a hole in my wall where the tent opening will be located at, and install an outside fan/vent. I have a tent design thread in the workshop forum that describes how I will vent two adjacent 4x4s through that vent. I am now concerned about only being able to use one of the bottom vents.

What convinced me is how much water these plants will require in flower... yeah, that moisture is going outside.

Yea, I def wouldn’t run it into an attic without some kind of secondary vent pushing it outside. But I have run tents before in the past in bedrooms and what not and never had issues just venting the air back into the room! Don’t think it can cause any harm :)
 
Lights just came back on, temps got down to 68 last night in the tent hoping I don’t have to get a little space heater!

68 doesn’t concern me too much though but guess I’ll have to keep a close eye on it!

I also topped the taller one and hoping I get a clone out of it, was 7” taller than any other plant in there so evens it out a bit. Should help with the scrog a bit which will be nice.

I might have to put a filter up sooner than later lol even in veg they are stinky as F !
 
Man good thing my fan / filter is gonna be here soon...these things stinkkkkk! Which is fine by me but even when I walk out of the office ( not even the tent ) the smell follows me haha anyone else experience this strong of a smell? I’ve never had it this bad!

Will post some pics in a bit :)
 
Little update on the ladies, they looking solid looks like they took to the transplant super nice! Gonna give em some water tomorrow! Along with the Scrog going up tomorrow!

 
Update!

Update!

Well, I have been super busy past day or two havent had time to throw the scrog on! Will be doing that tomorrow evening when the lights come back on, id imagine ill prob have 2-3 days of veg under the screen and then probably flip. Will see how full it gets I suppose...

Been running the light at 80% power, get them ready for flower for 100%! They are absolutely loving the LED can see in these pictures the bushiness really coming through and the color is amazing!

 
ScRog

ScRog

Well I got the scrog up! Man did i break a sweat haha time to roll one up :) Tried to move em around best I could get a nice even fill. Couple of em were not as bushy/top heavy as some of the others so made it kind of difficult...but we got it! Didnt break any off either lol couple of the stems were kinda hard took a bit of work to soften them up but hey this is what it looks like! See what kind of growth get next day or two and possible flip :)

 
Hot dang that's custom!! Nice over the shoulder boulder holder!!

Haha yea I always use pink! And it’s nice an easy to do just kinda weave around the screws keep it tight, and then can turn the pvc outwards too really tighten it up! It works :) I was gonna double layer it but think imma just let some shoots grow up a bit and tuck away during stretch! Can always throw some stakes in if I need it.
 
Day 2 Flower!

Day 2 Flower!

Well made the flip 2 days ago! Here we are 2 days into 12/12 and my goodness they are loving it! I am loving this LED, and I think the ladies are too! Should be able to fill out the screen ( prob not 100% ) during stretch but for the most part!

 
Day 5 flower!

Day 5 flower!

Well here we are in day 5! Things going great! Screen def is not gonna fill out as much as I wanted but thats ok...got the canopy much much more spread out than what it was so I am very happy.

As you can see temps are about 83 with fan on super super low, and 30% RH, will do some more tucking prob next day or two and then let it go! Then the long awaited bud growth <3 Cheers everone!
