Prepping for a side by side next run that will be all clones. Also got the hydro setup done in the new veg tent and I'm stoked about that. Needed to start cutting down on my workload. Looking great in your garden as always brother.Cheers Evil, see you got did a light swap, hope that goes well for you, looking full in your garden
Yes, true vegging is in that 2x4 tent above. I'll typically bring up clones and seedlings in cups in the 32x32 with the blurples (that Top LED (Mars) panel is 4+ years old and still going). When they come out of the cups they go into the 2x4 tent to veg in 1gal's under 3x 65w Citi 4000k/90cri COBs. I put them in there to replace an old/broken Mars panel I was using about 5-6 months ago. Liking the results under those COBs, nice fast veg with little power and heat, like 25w/sq.ft. and the tent stays 75-77F.hey gro,are you vegging with cobs? i think youve told me before.my t5 is way too hot for my veg cab.one 54w bulb increases my temps by 8°!winter that'd be alright,but summer could be problematic.
Lol, another veg tent, slowly taking over the house
Good luck with your health and the hydro, definitely less physical work than soil so not a bad idea at this time.
I thought a lot of those might be holding clones etc. Man that's a lot of strains/phenos, get to that 50 mark an open up JD's Klone Shop
Great method btw, for the most part I've been cloning the clone while still in the cups. Super-cropping them generates enough nice branches to clone them. Just checked some (Aero cloner) I threw in last weekend before flipping the plants and 1/2 are ready to root this weekend
No actually I'm turning the other 3x3 into a dedicated dry area and just going to use the hydro/veg tent to feed the 4x8 flower tent which will be hydro eventually as well.Lol, another veg tent, slowly taking over the house
ok,cool.ty man.do you think the 4k is keeping your plants more squat? that would be key for me.
Not really, they're not as tight as the blurples which I use the veg switch only, meaning more blues and they produce more tight nodes. It's not a huge difference but there is a bit more stretch if you start them under 4000k's. In that case maybe go up to 5700k's, I use 5700k in the veg cabinet to start seedlings when the 32x32 tent is in use. I started the 19 seedlings under the blurples now in that cabinet with the 5700k's, all are squat/tight nodes, pretty well identical to brining them up under the blurples. I grabbed the 4000k's on purpose and for some flexibility as I could use them for flowering as well but I start them and go 3-4 weeks in the party cups under more blues like the blurple and 5700k's. The blurples or 5700k's do seedlings or clones, when they're ready to up-pot/veg I switch them to the 4000k's, then flower under 3500k's.
ok,very cool gro,thanks for the tips.i think i'm going to start looking into cobs for the veg cab.i'm under 6k t5's now going into 3k flower,stretching hasnt been too bad...
They'll definitely help with your heat, regardless of the colour you end up going with. Never noticed too much but it's a tough one to track because I've been throwing in mixed strains into a bucket which is a huge variable, strains can make a big difference. I can tell you that last run I averaged a 17% return on 177 micron for the caps which is the highest I've seen to-date.
Wow! yummyGetting there with these 4x 3gal's at day 47. Blue Pyramid is done, one more light watering tonight and pull tomorrow at day 48. Blue Harley and Columbian Gold will be good to go at 50-52. Skunk #1 looks like another 4-6 days...

Cheers JD, that BH is a beauty, nice fade with some colour in the last week regardless of temps. Still king of the hill for flavour in my garden
Cheers man, love harvest time, turn off the fans/filter and get a good whiff of those terps
I agree!

If I Leave My Colombian Ripper Tent Open My Room Smells Like Stale Cigar SmokeCheers man, love harvest time, turn off the fans/filter and get a good whiff of those terps
So your tent is more like a large humidor or smoking loungeIf I Leave My Colombian Ripper Tent Open My Room Smells Like Stale Cigar Smoke
No The Room Smells Like 1 However Stick You Head Inside The Tent And She Smells Like Rotting Fruit And The Stem Rub Is More Lemon With A Slight Hint Of Pine.In Short She Has A Unique Bouquet Of Smells With Very Little StretchSo your tent is more like a large humidor or smoking lounge
Those 4x Columbian Ripper's I have coming up in the flower room are stretchers!
