A little more about my set-up

I recently moved and lost about 2 weeks of time in my grow.... I had to leave my veg plants at my old house while setting up the new house, and some of my older veg plants got N defs and were under-cared for during that 2 weeks.... Luckily everything is back to normal, I have fixed any deficiencies, and I have caught up in my perpetual schedule so I should be harvesting about every 5 days give or take a couple.....

My old cabinet was about 1/5 the size of my current tent, so things have changed quite a bit since my last thread here. I am now using a 4 inch vortex and a 6 inch inline fan, one connected to a DIY carbon scrubber (idea was from here in a couple of threads and it works GREAT for about 1/8 the cost) and the inline to a can fan. I may end up using the vortex to air cool my CMH's and HPS if temps get too crazy in the summer. My CMH's run with no reflectors, while my HPS is in a daystar that can be cooled, but isn't atm. If temps get too bad, I will make a cool tube for my CMH's.

I have 2 400W Ceramic Metal Halide bulbs hung vertically on each side of a 400W HPS that hangs in the middle of my tent. I am thinking of upgrading to a 600W HPS for the middle, but I am happy with what I have running (for now!)



The right side of my tent has movable shelves that I am using for SOG style smaller plants. These plants mainly get CMH light, but one side each day gets HPS light, just no all that much.


The plants in the middle are my larger plants that are in the middle state of growth. Plants in this section of the tent get light from HPS and CMH on each side, so they are very happy at this point.... I finish my larger plants on the left side of the tent, again maximizing the CMH light, but they also get a good amount of HPS from the left side, since my light is not centered exactly in the tent for this reason. Plants also get about 3-4 hours of supplemental light from the sun on normal days, as my tent is close to a window and allows quite a bit of light into the tent.... It still amazes me that no matter how bright the lights are in my tent, the sun still dwarfs the power of my lights (gotta love nature!)



Flo now in da house!


Lights out(right)- Cannalope Haze is the furthest to the left, the main cola is getting pretty dense!

JamieShoes- Thanks for the kind words and rep!

I will be chopping Pineapple Skunk tomorrow @ day 65 so I will update with pics then. She is kinda leafy so chopping looks to be a pain to cut down, but her buds are swelling much bigger than I thought she would.

Maui Wowie will also be chopped soon , not sure when she will come down yet though, I'm still watching the trichs and she looks close to done @ 61 days, but I will push her to at least 65 to see what will happen.... Anyone grow out Maui Wowie? I got it as a clone so I didn't have much info on her.

I'm glad you came into my grow journal as it allowed me to follow ya back to yours LOL.. Looking really good Smokes, and that sure is a mouth watering variety of plants you got going. That strawberry caugh looked extrmely dank... I'm hoping to get a lil taste of her in Rez's dsd. A Strawberry smelling/tasting herb sounds down right delicous IMO.

What brand tent, and what size is the veg tent smokes? I'm looking to get something for my mothers/cloning, and that size looks to be ideal for my needs. It didn't come with the shelf right? I know the clonebox does, though yours seems taller then the clonebox in the pics. What kinda exhaust do you use with it, and when zipped up do u ever have any issues with humidity inside? Thanks for any info...

Wooooooohoo!

Picked up 2 G-13 clone only and a Jack Herer clone, one of the G13's went straight into the flowering tent and the other will become a mom as well as the JH which will also become a mom.

Postman! Thanks for stopping in man, I'm honored! Sorry, I don't know the brand of my veg tent, I picked it up from San Fran last time I was there, all by luck really but I got it on sale. The shelf I put in there myself, I bought a shelf that you would normally hang on a wall, and hung it from cross-bars on the tent. I tied it at 8 different spots along the sides and back to keep it from moving. I am currently looking for an adjustable shelf so I can add another level to that tent, I am running low on room!

Loco-thanks for stoppin by man, I appreciate the kind words.

Maui Wowie is getting close to being finished @ 63 days. I will let her go a few more days and pull her at 66 or 67 I think.
I will post pics of the G13 and JH tomorrow, keep it green!

Hey Toob- Yeah the plants sure seem to like the dual spectrum, don't they?

Postman, I picked up a shelf from Target on sale today that fits nicely. I need to clip my moms a bit so I can fit a 3rd area for my clones/seedlings on top. I'll take some pictures tomorrow after I cut Mawi Wowie!

I'm really interested in seeing the rootzone since this is the first time I used a smart pot and am thinking of switching to them..... I will probably do a side by side grow comparison soon, maybe I will use the Jack Herer for that.

I will post pictures tomorrow of Maui's demise.... She sure is getting shiny and fat! I need to get a camera because my pictures don't so her justice.... Keep it green!
