Hello everyone, late to the party here. I’m starting my second grow in a 5x5 after harvesting this crop last November. The first grow went really well, despite being out of town a lot. I vegged under one 315 but I was underpowered when I started flowering. I got a second 315 and realized about 1.25 lbs. Good learning experience for sure. I have been growing things all my life, a professional farmer and we grow fruits and veggies for our table too. I’ve grown indoors before, but years ago when the technology sucked and the Internet was useless. I was amazed to see all the innovation after jumping back in after 20 years, you guys have been busy! There’s some really talented growers here.
I’m growing in soil, used 5 gal smart pots last time and this time I think I’ll use 7. I also want to change the lighting a bit. The footprint of these 315’s is awkward for 5x5. I’m considering putting together a 48” COB to provide some light on one end of the tent and slide the 315’s over some. I can also do much better with pruning and training but still thinking of adding some light. They got away from me a little last time and I was in Asia quite a bit but home for all the milestones. My wife no like to prune - or trim, damn it. But man she can vape mad nugs.... She’s a great gardener and this crop would’ve flopped without her, since I was gone for day to day care.
This is a NY Diesel. We also grew Critcal Mass and Tutankhamen, oh and a bag seed, no fems, no auto. The bag plant was killa. I just used what I had, but I’ve got more seeds on their way for starting my cloning program. It was all really good stuff. The Tut was delish, the Diesel was sorta funky but fun nonetheless. This time I’ve got Afghan, Mickey Kush, Cheese, and OGK. And moneymaker. All random stuff I was given or collected, and I’ll take some cuttings this time and have a little 2x4 setup w T5’s ready to go.
These were at 45 days. I came home from ‘Nam and tried some supercropping; my wife def won’t do that. She’d let the lights scorch em before she’ll bend a plant, but it worked really well, solved my height issues.
Thanks for all your contributions, I’ve benefitted a lot.
