So I finally got shit set up although made some pretty NOOB mistakes. But gotta hand it to you on the 1000hps stink, those things are straight ridic. I wasn't so sure about all the hype, but after finally plugging one in.....holy......fucking.....shit!
The light output from that thing is insane! Makes my old school led look like a silly lantern!
Unfortunately I'm having some ballests not working problem so for now I'm gonna put a 400 mh, a led, and a 1000hps in a 5x10x6 space. Setting the screen up next.
I modified stinks original plan so I could get 2 flowering units inside mah tent since I love hazes and wanna get into growing some of these 12+ week strains.
Which leads me to my first noob mistake, I got a tent too short!
The room I resurrected for this is huge, the ceiling is over 25 ft in some places and it's about a 15x40 room, I wanted to abuse the height space but unfortunately I can't just flop over the grow tent roof like i was hoping.
Maybe it's time to build that pvc frame, attach some boards, slap on this mylar sheet that's been sitting in my basement forever, and do some hydro scrogging.
Or maybe learn vertical growing?
Or maybe not be a noob and let my plants get retardly big. This one in the pic had a 8"wide wall/ball of root growing behind the pump. I think I let it veg for like 1 and a half months.
It's been through hell tho, from the 5 day power outage here (20 hour long days of hand spraying sure do suck!) to the giant amount of roots to this last move...it and the green crack just refuse to die though!!! Over 12 different plants have all bit the dust in the buckets through their life!
Couldn't find a way to hook up inline fan closer inside the tent so on the wall it went, there's a lot of ducking but I'm hoping it will be okay since I got only 1 light it's supporting.
Cant wait to put in the new upcoming girls next week I hope, unfortunately during the power outage the cat knocked over the unit and scattered/played with my plants on the floor so I lost all my labels except 4! Lemon alien dawg, gsc, northern lights, bay dream, and a Durban poison are the newest additions.
How do you guys secure fans in tents? wire hangings?
