Im on week 6 of flower. Got a bigger grow tent, but now that all the lights are back in the tent, the heat has jumped up. Now runs at 93-95 F with lights, but it has dropped the humidity a bit. Think i have to raise the light because all the top leaves are canoeing.
Are they looking like theyre supposed to at this stage?
Those look great!! Can I ask a couple questions like what are you growing? Type of light? Is this regular or auto? I would be pumped to have these in my tent
Plants are right on track for week 5, 3 to 4 more to go. Plants will pause during flower but do bulk up (with a loss of potency) in the final couple of weeks.
I prefer a green canopy all the way to harvest, myself.
Regular russian x kush og they were in a 4’x2’x60" tent, but i bumped them up to a 4’x4’x80" tent because its my first grow and i disnt know about cropping. I did bend them originally, and that worked well, but they started straightening themselves out and i didnt feel comfortable bending them again 4 weeks into flowering.
The light i got right now is a bestva 2k cob elite reflector series (400 true watt)…its really just a giant blurple light. And then i got 4 24 watt 2’ led tubes that were originally vertically in each corner, but in the big tent i have them hanging above because the bestva doesnt cover as much in such a large tent.
To be honest, now that i have the new tent, the 4" exhaust needs to be upgraded, but first i have to find a new light to pair with my current one. I got really lucky with the bestva because they were discontinuing that model and i got it for $50.
The growing system is just a storage bin with aero/hydro setup. Basically an 800 gph water pump that feeds into 1/2" pvc with numerous misters and its on a 1 min on/5min off timer. The bottom half of the tank is where the nutes are, so thats why id say its kind of a hybrid aero/hydro setup, bc the roots sit in the water once they get long enough.
Nutes are AN micro/grow/bloom with b-52, voodoo juice, big bud, and eventually overdrive supplements. And for keeping them cool i bought an evaporative air heat exchanger off amazon that has worked perfectly, for half the price of a compressor water cooler. Im actually quite impressed. Temp has stayed between 65-68 F the entire time ive had it
Ok sweet. Thanks. I cant wait. They went through a rough week. Caught up a bad virus and i couldn’t bring myself to do a full res change so i just kept topping off, and then they got to within a couple inches of the light, so i had to force myself to get my butt up to swap tents and now im just trying to get them back in a comfortable spot. They handled all of it pretty well though.
Wow those look so good! I noticed now any time i mess with the plants near the buds, my fingers get sticky, and they got this very potent weed/nutrient smell, but today i got this whiff that reminded me of that potent smell you get when you open up your bag…i love this stuff man. Lol
Dude I know exactly how you feel. I smell my all my Nugz like I’m passionate with them, feel like the creepy panty sniffer, BUT THEY SMELL SO FKING GOOD !!
Harvest is just right around the corner, I’ll keep ya posted!!
Thanks, I love to know that stuff. I grew out doors a long time. This is just my 3rd indoor grow lol. Alot to learn and different from outdoors bigtime. I wish I would have just went with regular seeds, but a friend talked me into auto’s. They produce good bud with great high, but I can’t grow nuggets. We bought quite a few too Im under 450w led
i cant wait to share the results, too. We put so much work into these girls, its nice knowing we can bring some (hopefully) great bud into this world. I may even use my smaller tent for edibles, so i can keep the house from stinking uo with a toaster oven & crockpot or something. I am so amped for harvest/drying time. A lot of firsts about to get knocked off my bucket list lol
I have been reading so many issues with autos that id be afraid to go near them. Seems like everything really has to be perfect because you cant control the veg time to fix any mistakes. Id probably wreck them with my current experience level.
Next up is my first experience with feminized seeds. Blueberry OG. Should be fun knowing i wont have to throw away half my plants after all that hard work.
Goodluck with your autos man. Hope they turn out amazing.
Yeah, they were supposed to be super easy lol. Just stick in dirt and water. They definitely weren’t. Sneeze too close and they’re trashed. I managed to get bud, but think I could do alot better. Never had problems outdoors except aphids one year. A looong time ago… I grew reg Afghan with a 450w MH and miracle grow 20 20 20 straight throughout. I don’t think I ever had a spot or yellow leaf and grew outstanding buds. I had never heard of ph or ppm or really any of the terminology lol
