Yeah we dont open the door to the section of the garage its in. we have a 4 car garage so the section its in has its own single garage door so no worries on that end...if people look into our garage they will just see a big black piece of plastic. And I used lots of duct tape to seal the room up. Thank god for black light proof duct tape.

4 car garage.... lucky. up here garages are rare so im lucky to just have a 2 car.

your chillin then dude. you could hang the inside unit on your garage wall.. cut a hole in the plastic wall big enough to put the copper tubing and cords and drain hose through.. then behind the plastic wall put the condenser, and a bucket to collect run off.

Yeah...shitty thing is I called the hydro store and now the mini splits are 1800 dollars...talk about a price difference in just a few weeks. Back to hunting for an affordable mini split. Gotta get this thing ready to go ASAP.

its going to be like 110s down there. you should definitely get a 2 ton. my buddy has another one of these that he sold me.. its a kilmaire 24k 19seer. he wants a grand for it, and his ac guy is 200 bucks to hook it up and charge it.

welp just spend all night transplanting into 3 gallons and watering them....will take some good photos tomorrow when i move them to the new 4X8 tent. So for now on there will be 12 plants in the 4X4 under floros from clone to 2 weeks...then once they hit 2 weeks there will be 12 plants vegging in the 4X8 tent from 2 weeks - 4 weeks under a 1000W MH on a light mover...then from there each set of 6 plants will be under a 600W HPS in my flower room. So exciting...only a little over a week until the first 12 go in to start flower.

Welp got the 4X8 tent set up tonight and the ladies moved into it. I've got a couple clones recouping under a floro setup after almost meeting their doom. Still trying to find an AC unit that will work in my flower room before it's time to throw the girls into it in a week or so. One of my plants is showing bad signs of nute burn and a couple others have some tips of leaves curling downward but no burn...just a little leathery looking. I think my humidity might be extremely low so i'm sure they are hating that. Gonna have to start misting them or something to try and get it up a but.

On with the pictures. These are all at 3 weeks. wondering how much growth i'll get by next saturday...wanna throw them into flower around 18" hoping they will atleast double in size.

the ones under the t5 look like theyre coming back nice. if you remove your saucers in the tent and just let your run off chill on the floor and do its thing you will probably get some more humidity. thats what i do in my tent. or just leave a 5 gallon bucket of water in there.

id yank some of those fan leaves on the bushs' to try and get some shoots to come out a little more before the flip.



lookin good!

Yeah I've never had a problem where plants didn't want to stretch....these things are turning into little shrubs. Maybe 1000W MH is a bit much for veg? Now that i have everything in the room upstairs i have to have the upstairs zone ac fan running all the time and the door open to keep it under 80 in the tent. Looks like two ac units are needed....or time to trade in the ol MH for two 4' 8 tube floro fixtures.

Hey Phish, I rather use cfls in veg., I only have a 400w it seems too strong for the smaller plants, what I notice. Happy to see you gotten past the earlier problems. :clap:...rw

Well here is an update on the lucky 13. Going into the 4th week of veg but i feel like they are still not as big as I want them to be to go into flower next week. Hopefully they start stretching a bit more. The right side of the tent had been flushed when i had that weird leaf problem...and the left side had been left alone...just testing to see what could have caused the issue. Seems like it was just a bit of nute burn...you can tell the left side is still extremely dark green from the massive amounts of nitrogen thrown at them.

As per patricks suggestion i'm going to prune the fuck out of them this afternoon and try to open them up a bit. I'll post photos up tonight....lets hope i don't go homicidal in the process.
