Coming along nicely for the most part. I’m kinda out of room and still have at least 6 weeks left. Had to do a little super cropping with a few plants. Had some that just towered above the rest. These tents look big when they are empty.🤣 ![20230509_183154](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/0/0/b00f13678ff5cff1598ade1f5fde937ffa6fa4b3.jpeg) ![20230509_183120](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/9/f/a9f9803db5386d9c763c9aa95ff4fbbc68c5c8ff.jpeg) ---

I wanted to do the leds, was just kinda on a budget when i started. I knew the hps would work for now. They are alot cheaper than they used to be. ---

Yep. I have 1. It was left over from a few years ago. I threw it in the mix for S&Gs and she started weak but is actually kicking ass now… ![20230515_191619](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/c/4/ac429b7dd891a1a03b7a78368557d7e633327207.jpeg) ---

If you look closely, you see those skinny skinny leaves that are curled… the plant started like that. I almost plucked her but figured id do some topping and LST and see if i couldnt nurse her back and i think ill yield a decent harvest from her now… ![Screenshot_20230517_194417_Chrome](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/0/b/80bdee8e6c7a3d10c01d2fe53ad43f75470ab0bd.jpeg) ---

Glad she pulled thru. I also wonder if the Durban is as good as it was 20 years ago when I grew it. I still have people to this day ask me about that. If they smoked it, they remembered the name. I will try and follow along til your harvest and see how they all turn out. ---

I think the saying " camera adds 20 lbs " is correct. The buds look bigger in the picture than in person. 🤣 Happy growing to all! ![20230520_184216](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/c/3/ac3e178b660734b70c76cff1d7238d836c33470d.jpeg) ---

Well, I made it to day 58 of flower. Almost there. Had a few issues a couple weeks ago. Not enough time left to fully work it out. Just gonna ride it out at this point. No point in stressing out. This is supposed to be my happy place. Lol I have 3 more plants 4 weeks into flower waiting for these gals to finish. ![20230604_114148](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/6/a/c6a8f4a24b8df4c5161b00a9b6bab77be7aaeb74.jpeg) [Previous page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/first-grow-in-a-long-time-never-used-a-grow-tent-before-i-am-7-weeks-in-switched-to-12-12-last-week-feeling-excited/100387.md?page=1) [Next page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/first-grow-in-a-long-time-never-used-a-grow-tent-before-i-am-7-weeks-in-switched-to-12-12-last-week-feeling-excited/100387.md?page=3)
