I just tied my exhaust into some exposed house return ducting.

I run the Hydrofarm VLF6 in my 4x4 and the VLF8 in my 4x8. Both are more than enough for each tent. (Can run 1/2 power if ambient RH is nice that day.)
I know they aren't the quietest, but I am a believer now that the reviews are true. These girls act like they'll run for years with no issues.

Spent the last couple quarentine days in the back yard digging in an 80"x80" garden (in a hill. Not recommended...) and building a 40"x48" elevated container garden for things like potatoes, carrots, peppers, green beans, onions, peas, cucumbers, cat pot (a.k.a. nip), and a multiple of others including herbs and the like.
Should be interesting.

I'm 42 and never tried this before but I figured if I can grow some dank nugs I can probably grow some decent food.
I've done about 1/2 as much research for this as I did before growing the cannabis, so I think I'll be okay :D . The girlfriend is "helping" so it should all be good right??? :rolleyes:
I'll be adding pictures here of the garden as the construction gets finished and the seeds start to sprout. Most went in the soil today.

The ladies have been pretty much taking care of themselves the last few days. I did have to swap spots on a couple because the Gorilla Glue is now towering over the others.

The 710 Mango and Blueberry Gum are still hanging with Vicky, Carl and the White Widow in veg.

The Humboldt Sour Diesel #2 still hasn't germinated. Going to give it another day and then maybe start worrying.

Is that how you get big buds by keeping plants relatively small?

I pruned mine today dont normally do it.20200331_123940.jpg

I don't intentionally do anything to stunt the plants besides top them. I did make the mistake of defoliating the Skywalkers right when I moved them to flower so I know that kept them shorter.

Besides that, I think I see a lot less stretch than most others do due to the plants being kept between 50k-60k Lux from the time they are roughly 2-3 weeks old from seed.

From what I've seen, I run quite a bit more watts per square foot than most others do. My flower tent is @ 81.25 w/sq.ft at the moment.

Overkill?
Probably...

I'm considering not touching the young White Widow I have going though. Just to see what an untouched plant will do.
I haven't tried growing one like that yet. All have been topped or trained in some way or another.

Your plants are looking great. Some nice thick stalks going there.

I'm in the middle of doing some pruning and noticed the Gorilla Glue started kicking out 11 finger fan leaves for me.

Took a measurement and with my lights mounted to the top of my tent, she's only 11" away from touching the glass...

Yeah.
That's why I started going to Attitude.
Only went with ILGM due to easy payment options. You can use your checking account with them. Never had an issue here in the US.

I must say I've grown 3 strains of their autos and now 4 different fem strains from them and have been really pleased with the results for a new grower.

Skywalker OG #4 Day 63
20200404_035218.jpg 20200404_035332.jpg

I've run into a problem.
Due to the size of growth I'm seeing now that I quit stupidity defoliating @ flip, I have decided to cut back the 4'x8' flower tent from 8 plants to 4. So I will be harvesting without popping new seeds until a more appropriate, spaced out timeline presents itself.

I really think with a bit more fine tuning, I'll be able to keep her stuffed with only 4 plants.

Took a few pics to show the growth I'm seeing. The Gorilla Glue is, you'll see.
All pallets in flower tent are gone and lights are basically maxed out on height without starting to remove straps and hangers.
Luckily, the middle light is a 600W, so with the hood I can almost touch glass without an issue. Keeping a close eye out for bleaching. LUX @ the top is pushing 90k+. (Sorry for the hps.)

The Blue Dream is only on day 15. I think she's going to need some space...

I'm really happy with the stacking I'm seeing on the MK Ultra.

Put in some time getting the drying room in a more suitable working order.
Pretty pleased with the results for being a 5'x6' utility/ejector pit closet.
It has a 6" 220cfm booster fan for active intake with a 4" 190cfm scrubber for exhaust out of the room which is about 95% sealed. 24" box fan for indirect air movement along with an Inkbird Humidity Controller running a dehumidifier that dumps into the ejector pit. No detectable smell in the adjacent room that it's conjoined/exhausting into.
