50 years ago I once grew a Marijuana plant

Grow Cycle
1

Well, I’m older than dirt, but good news is I am still younger than rock. I won’t get into venting my pet peeves just to say I am tired of a lawless government and Medicare. So, I’m busting out. I bought me some Harlequin seeds from our pals ILGM and got them in 9 days, bravo.

Here is what I bought so far.

  • List item
    2x2x3 grow tent,
    600 watt led full spectrum grow light, Temp/humidity meter,
    3-gallon fabric pot,
    4-inch exhaust fan with carbon filter,
    6 inch fan,
    manual timers,
    50/50 mix Happy Frog and Ocean Forest Potting Soil,
    Fox Farm Nutrients

I’m growing a single plant in a grow tent located in the laundry closet of my 5th wheel RV, hence the short tent. Any suggestion would be appreciated. I am old and thick skinned, so let’er rip.

Welcome @OldGuyToo

What is the exact model of your light?
Most amazon lights advertised at 600 watts are in actuality only about 100 watts.

I don’t see a pH pen in your list of items. I think this is a must for indoor/container growers.

What are your goals in terms of quantity and quality?

You will definitely want to look into Low Stress Training (LST) and/or SCROG to control height.

Let’s get some real experts in on the conversation…

I am not familiar with that light. Take a look at the name plate to see what the actual wattage is. It may only list the amperage, you can calculate the wattage by multiplying the voltage (110 or 120 volts depending upon location in the US) times the current in amps.

Do you keep your R.V parked or do you travel? (will you have power constantly?)

I’m not sure, the light is on over my seed bowl and the plate must be on the other side. That thing is hot to the touch. I am monitoring temps to get an idea before I put a plant in it.

The actual wattage is 115w for that light

If im not mistaken that is a little lite for a 2x2x3 but it will work (with reasonable expectations)

I am usually parked for months. Will not grow and travel, to risky. Being discrete, but a dog walking by in a traffic stop could be disastrous in some states.

And are your seeds auto flowering?

17

Yea, I used to do that. Thanks

No, needed a higher CBD than I could find in an autoflower.

I am one of the more inexperienced people on here so i would suggest you confirm with others but i think you will need to switch to flower pretty early on in veg to keep it from growing to tall.

Do get a ph pen (or liquid drops at least)

Make sure it does not get to hot to wet or to dry.

And ask a question if you have one.
