New Tent Build and First Grow

[yesterdaysnews]

As some of you know I've ordered everything for a new 2x4 tent setup to compliment my old 3x3 setup. So as everything starts coming in I will document that here, the setup and the first grow in the new setup. And to kick this setup off. It seems fitting that it's first grow should be a loud, wild and nasty Sativa grow. So Alaskan Thunder Fuck is going to be up first. And it's my understanding these lady's don't like wearing undies. It just sounds so right!

First in and boring but so important is the power strips and extension cords.


Most important purchase of my growing career and should have done it years ago a Apogee MQ-610



I will be updating as items come in and we get this grow kicked off.

I can't believe I forgot the Nutrients. These came in a few weeks ago. I've been using the same nutrients and system for many years. Simple, clean and to the point. But with this new setup I'm breaking from old habits and giving this Nectar of The Gods Sample Pack ago.

Got a few more goodies in today for the new tent.

It will be a 50/50 mix of #8 and Ocean Forest. If I do 3 plants in #7 nursery pots the mix will go 25/75 same soils.

so why not use the necter of the gods soil? if there designed to be used together, you may run into problems along the way

There's not going to be any soil and fert problems. NOTG will work with any soil. I could go dig up top soil out of my yard and it would work. Don't go off the deep end now,,,,

I've not updated this thread. Lets get caught up... The carbon filter and circ. fans came in. Next was a new grow stool, timers for the lights and some eye bolts for a simple light mod. The area where the tents going in is all cleaned up with the new gear stacked up where the tent will go. The water and nutrient station is back to being setup how I like it. All that's missing is the Gorilla tent. Gorilla says it has shipped and I have a tracking number. But it shows only that the label has been created. So here's to hoping it has shipped and it will be here by tomorrow. If not first of next week.......

That looks like a nice light.

I think you are like me. You love getting Grow-Toys delivered!

How exciting! Good luck on this upcoming grow with this new equipment.

First setup action and a mod has been done to the 350R this morning. Killing two birds with one stone ROCKS!!! I-Bolts have went in to hang a 100 V2 off of the 350R during seedlings and early veg. When ready to fire up the 350R unclip the 100 V2 cover with a hand towel and raise it up into the top of the tent on its own yoyo. There it can be stored out of the way and protected until needed again. Will do this to the dual 260 Rspec in the 3x3 tent.

Tent is here!!! I now have everything and can start setting up.

Got the job spiked and on it's way. Tents up, exhaust system in and the 350R is hung up. Still need to get the UVA-30 XL installed, 3 ea. circ fans, the Inkbird installed and setup. And yeah know there will be other stuff. Running the light wide open now and getting some heat built up in the tent to relax some of the fold lines.

It’s pretty much done. Need to do some cable management and setup the controls. Just ran out of steam for the day. Had to resort to using zip ties to hang the 350R. The hanging cables were all different lengths. So I could not get it leveled up and squared out until I addressed the situation. I ended up using straps for the UVA-30 XL. Those slip loop cables they send with the light are near useless to me. My plan to hang a HLG 100 V2 from the 350R for seedings and early veg worked out great! And storing the light in the tent when not in use is going to be fantastic! It takes about a minute to go from seedling/early veg to main light veg/flower bringing the UVA on the job. So happy with it I just put two Alaskan Thunder Fuck seeds in a bottle and floating them on the seedling mat at 80F.

Germination/seedling/early veg setup.


100 V2 stored safely away and ready when needed. Setup for flower with UVA-30 XL on.


Controls and the freaking cables.
