2 - 1,000 Watt Adjustable Ballast's with Cool Tubes in Grow Tent

[fromCFLtoTWOthousandHPS]

Started this grow in February, but I'm going with first sprout as Day 1.

Today is Day 41, I have 2 automatic Big Devils (awaiting a bunch more auto seeds) and Pheno type; Sour Kush, Vortex, BC GODS BUD and Purple Pineapple.

I'm using 1 Hps and 1 Mh during the whole grow, both are in cool tubes one side open to the room for outlet/exhaust and that goes up to a 440cfm high velocity vortex 6" fan with carbon filter. The tent is 5 by 5 with two separate inlets for fresh air both have 240 cfm 6" squirrel fans inline. In the room I have 2 large box fans for air movement/stem growth. In using smart pots instead of buckets, I'm using Fox Farm Ocean Forest mix with Jiffy seedling organic soil ( a 1:5 ratio mix). Using basic nutrients for veg and flower with super thrive and mollasses. Also using a 10 gallon Co2 tank for augments.

Any questions or comments...........fire away and enjoy the grow!!

you are growing autos, and you said you have more auto seeds on the way. what inclines you to growing so many autos? just curious i never really got into them

Dry ice, inbetween trips to fill the tank I buy 4 pounds or so. It's a great way to add massive co2 in one big heap (kills any bugs that might be there, I don't have bugs but if I did I dont know lol) and add humidity to the air.. The first burst was one massive cloud that made the whole tent look like la then out slows down to a nice flow.

Here we are so far, the calm before the storm. 20 outside the dome (bought a second clone dome) and about 25 inside the dome. So stayed tuned in because this room is going to explode. I have roughly 20 days left on the autos and when everything is rooted beyond that point or honestly....... When a clone can live in soil and not the dome that's good enough for me to go 12/12, the Sour Kush has so many hair randomly through out the plant she is dying to flower.,,

Day 45
possibly 18 days to go!




Have 5 more Big D and 5 SmurfBerry autos in New York usps they should be here by Tuesday. I'm debating if I should grow those and let the clones veg for 60 more days.... Or just throw them into flower mode in 2 to 3 Weeks when the 2 big d's are finished...

What do you think??

 

[fromCFLtoTWOthousandHPS]

Cut back some of the bushyness on the Big D. Only two Weeks left or so, so I felt letting the main breathe and receive more light will be beneficial.

 

[fromCFLtoTWOthousandHPS]

The big d is doing really good since the trimming. Almost overnight the purple pineapple started to take off and fill out since the 4 cutting. All these clones on soil have good roots. The dome clones will wait till root if I can.

 

[fromCFLtoTWOthousandHPS]

Big d pics and my nicest looking clone about 6 other's have rooted but don't look as good or have.......nute burn! Oooops!! In the process of mini flush to correct soil on a few clone pots and 2 bigger plants over the next 3 days. I've been giving the big d a little nutes this week she seems to love it but I need to start 2 week flush on Thursday. I'm hoping the big d buds swells up over the next 17 days.

 

[fromCFLtoTWOthousandHPS]

Haven't made a co2 tank refill run yet (plus the big d is within that 2 week finish point, one is anyway, and I and heard co2 augments during the last week or so kills the resin glands.. Rather not test that theory. Here is a pic of co2 in the room, well worth the 2 bucks! View attachment 2094997 Today is the end of day 48, I'm switching the lighting slightly to accommodate the warmer weather. So today is going to be a 31 hour day. There are 2 autos 1 baby auto clone (just fudging around) then 4 plants (the sour Kush, vortex, purple pineapple, and the BC Gods Bud (34 days old to me) then 8 rooted clones that are cut by me 2 more close to root and 12 clones 5 days old in dome.

 

[fromCFLtoTWOthousandHPS]

If everything roots I will probably toss the auto clone for room. I also need to set up a temp veg room for 3 or 4 clones for next "season" so I think after the autos then minus the 4 clones to "keep the strains going" I think I will end up with 24 plants to flower with half being Sour Kush shock: those heir the biggest and fullest)

 

[fromCFLtoTWOthousandHPS]

The 12 clones in the humidome no longer need the lid.... I took an experiment cutting, it was 8" or so. I dipped it put it into a cube put a clear plastic just on top and placed it on top of a fan base. Within 2 days it no longer needs the dome and all the leafs are raised. The switching of the time went well all the girls thrived with that extra 12 hours and the big d got more dense and crystally. So far all the plants are on track for 12/12 in a couple weeks when the autos finish.

Light's on go from 7:00pm to 1:00pm
