2X4 flood and Drain Stealth Grow.

yeah kinda odd i stopped taking pics for a few days cause thought maybe i was fing them up. keep all lights off in other room just in case to but nothing changed but grow grow grow.

sigh i do not no if i have e it in me for one. im stoned Lol. for two i been up since 8 cause i was making sure the light was on with the new addition.

2 words...SUPER LUMINS!!

Maybe soon

Do it when you wake up lol stop smoking that orange kush it will make you lazy lol

Lol yeah i only wish what is in the tent was the orange kush ....Sigh one toke of my cured kush and it was settled ....im hooked

Well only before bed for the ecks and pains . twitching legs and what not.

That bubblegum is a winner if you can get it to flower lol

well that was less painful. rigged up a pump system to send the water out and back in all most over flowed it cause i cant see that far Lol or around a corner.

pumps are so much stealthy then bring buckets to the bath tube or sink.

only hard part about a pump is not to forget you termed it on Lol .....FLOOD! OR THE CORNER AGAIN!

need a way to switch it on with a remote.

they look like their starting to "pucker up" just dont see many hairs. still looks good IMO. you going to do any pruning to them?

Im thinking a little bit of lolly poping might be in order

i am still thinking about it. i have all ways believed that every single leaf contributes to the grater hole of the plant.

so i hope i can just get by without clipping any... but if light becomes a issue then i may have too.

i do not see any evidence of not enough light. so for now ill leave em the way they are.

Hows that new ballast working?

good and with the extra super lumins i raised the light so that all the plants get light .

yeah the outside edge ones were considerably smaller then the ones in the center . but i think a shield/reflector that fit the rectangle shape of the tent would fix this maybe.

Rotating the plants might help a bit too

yeah i did that last grow it did good. but i cant with these cause there all rooted into the Rockwell ok plugs and is not really rotatable.

Yeah i would say maybe trim some, every leaf does contribute, but you want some light concentrated on the budsites too
Glad i caught this thread in time im subbed! i wanna start an ebb and flow table too but dont have quiet all the info im getting there tho haha AN nutes sounds like a good line though im leanin towards trying that out
cant wait to start growing...
btw great looking garden big

Puting the light on a moving track an option? maybe next grow but would get 100% coverage with that.

you know that would be a kick ass idea to have a track system. so long as its a well oiled so it do not squeak and do not have a humming motor

it would not be moving much ether but i do think it would be making all the deference

yeah help get between the leafs.

ya a buddie of mine has his vegs plants in a closet and he has a lightmover that moves a 1000w MH across them. gets great grown in a very small space.

I am working on the same kind of setup, but smaller. Im in a busser container, with a lower holding tank. I can go to 6, but too many roots=root bound. So this one is just 4 plants. I like it cause i can turn the whole container180 a couple times. I would stay away from trimming leaves, learn to tuck and fold. The ladies will drop them if she dosent want them. ALTHOUGH, i did do some branch trimming, and bottom growth shoots(1/3 of the plant bottom up) trimmed, but water leaves left on, JUST BEFORE 12/12. This helps with air circulation undernieth, for mold of the rockwool, and helps the plant to its best potental up top.

Killer thread, thanks for posting!

update! day 16

well here is my set up. i have this fan blowing air forcing airflow up the cracks between the wall of the tent and the flood table. in theory it pushes stagnant air through the vast network of branches and leafs. so i add vinegar into lil water then add baking soda to create a reaction that makes Co2. so its right under the fan blowing into the jungle.

my res has a extra stealth pump pushing water in a mixing whorl pool with 2 air stones causing aeration

the light is all most at the vary top of the tent heh, with about 4 inches to go up and about 2 feet from the plants.

ATM temps are good 65 night about 72 day res has been 60-70 the hole grow pretty much but i have a sentinel with a piece of foam stopping incoming air. but when temps start hitting 75+ i will open it and plug the sentinel back in.

humidity is 40-50 kinda right on the edge of what i want but hopefully it do not go up much more.

ATM my ppm is 1000 AN PH perfect micro grow bloom with cal mag, big bud and b52 add ins. and ph is 5.7 was thinking about taking HR advise and adding 200 more ppm but there looking so healthy i am kinda not sure if i should.

cause well looks like i am getting some little buds popping everywhere

some pics of the plants too
