First Indoor Flowering
Greetings all, after drooling over everyones indoor flowering chambers for years we have finally setup our own. We have a seperate Sprout/Veg Chamber(4 flouros) that we used, we know its not optimal but always worked for our outdoor vegging/flowering. The following will be the first in which we hope are many diaries to come from the result of this tent. Pictures will be updated at every available moment and with your Help, problems which we are sure we will run into will need solving will be solved.
As of now everything is going better then we ever had hoped. We have 5 toatle, 3 CH9 Mendocino and 2 Double X both feminized.
And onto the setup and info followed by pics and a few questions..
More info to come on our soil mix as it was the heated topic of discussion and didnt go my way
El Cheapo Sprout/2 week veg chamber: X2 4' Cheap Flouros/ballast (4 4' 20w flouro bulbs all together)
We germ'd 6 CH9 Feminized Double X and 6 CH9 Mendocino. All "popped" and were placed in our soil mix in 3gal containers out of the 12, 11 sprouted and became gorgeous. The climate changed and our outdoor grow plan went out the window. I know this is not an ideal veg chamber(we have never used it for one just simply a start before they go outside) but we had to make due until the tent came. When the tent arrived we chose 5 of the best "looking" plants which were 2 CH9 Double X and 3 CH9 Mendocino.
Tent: GrowLabs 80( GL80 )
Exhaust and odor control: Can-9000 Filter joined with a Can-Fan 4" venting out the top of the tent.
Intake and cooling: Passive intakes along with a 6" inline duct fan fixed at the bottom.
Lighting: Yieldmaster II Supreme, 400w HPS, Lumatek 400w with Superlumen switched *ON*
Current Temps: running 12/12 67 F avg during night cycle 78 F avg during day cycle. Humidity is extreamly low.
They are in 4 gal pots in a pro-mix..mix, they started in our veg chamber(described above) and are now 5 days into flowering. We are also using the "LST" method goal is to maximize harvest from this box with the space applied.
Neuts we have are Pro Blend Bloom and Grow, along with Liquid Karma.(All the soil mixes)
Obviously discrete is not a concern, remote Home location and being the homeowner along with security being our proffesion we are not worried. Years of great outdoor grows have provided no human contacts and the house is as much self maintained as it can be. This is a finished basement room and has 3 locked doors before it is reached.
Tent Closed
Tent Open - Light On
Canopy With Light On
Canopy With Light On 2
1 Mendo out of the Tent
The plan for the next batch is to use a 400w MH bulb to veg. Thanks for looking and reading and any tips or info would be greatly appreciated.
