420w LED/HPS 2X4X6 Tent

[grilledcheese101]

Whats up guys, just got my plants all transplanted and moved into their new home. The first 3 or 4 i started were in some terrible coco and i nearly lost them, woulda thrown em out but 2 were mephisto autos and they wer all gifted to me. The 3 oldest ones are ripley og auto, alien v. Triangle auto, and girl scout cookie thin mint photo, also have a very healthy 2 week old chem dawg photo.

Tents running at 18/6 to flower the autos out and continue vegging everything else, and in my veg cab i have another bunch growing, only 2 worth mentioning are 2 jordan of the islands blue afghanis at the moment.

Temperature is stable in the low 20s with my exhaust on low, i have 2 fans inside, one on the ground and one level with the lights blowing towards the exhaust.

I have 2 led panels i made with led light bulbs and light sockets, they carry 15 9w bulbs making each panel 135w dependant on the bulbs being used obviously, centered between the two i have a 150w hps that runs veru cool in my setup, and is somewhat efficient for what it is (ballast runs 1.6 amps or so.

Very bright should be great, ive gotten more than 1 gram per watt without the hps. Cant wait to see whats possible now.

Food is all organic stuff.


5 gal smart pots

Mephistos in the middle, girl scout cookies on th left, chemdawg on the right. Cookies was really rootbound so itll take a day or 2 to see it bounce back

Still kicking myself in the ass every day over my awful start, really gonna pay for it with these autos by the looks of things, otherwise everything is coming around. This is my first grow in this tent, and with these lights aswell, so alot of this will just be used as a baseline measurment for next grow. Gotta start somewhere i guess, still trying to dial in my height for light, im about 3.5-4ft away from the plants right now, and am not getting any stretch really. I think alot of it has to do with the recent transplant and the soil issues earlier on. Chem dawg still acting almost unaffected really, and my little runt is waking up lol.

The AvT is pushing along but still a little yellow, nontheless were pjcking up speed finally.

 

[grilledcheese101]

Tied both down the autos, if they arent gonna get taller, i can atleast force some branches to stretch. cookies is doing great, idk if itll be a girl but he/she definitely turned around 100% i topped it a few days to stop lateral growth, that strain deff doesnt like branchinf out from the sounds of it and it shows. Another week and itll fill out. Chemdog is looking fkn fire its eating fast and its a bush under all the fans, lower branching is within 2 inches of the main top and its never been topped or tied down, stacking new nodes every 1/4 inch. The Rottweiler cross is getting fat and really showing off those fat leaves i wanted to see come out of the father. Avt is still yellow but growing nonethless, ripley og is greenung up but not stretching at all, polar opposite to the avt. After these i will be taking a break from autos. As of yet theyve only ever been gifts, never purchased one yet. Dont think i will be any time soon, they just dont work for someone as lazy as i am, i dont want to be babying a plant like autos need.

Lol figured you'd ask. They're drooping a bit because they're "tired", the light is about to go off.
The one on the far right is a dark devil auto but it's a runt. I'm just letting it finish.

The cap hanging from the light is 24 inches.

Nice lol im jelous now, what you think my best bet for turning these shit heads around is? My size just isnt there with these 2. I pulled 4ounces off less than 150 watts last year with a dinafem blue cheese, but i really fucked these mephistos up this year

You said they are around 2-3 weeks old? Just let em go and in about another 2-3 weeks they should begin stretching. I can't say what kind of yield you'll get but cover as much of your space as you can and you'll do alright.

If you have them in 5 gallon pots, they may take a bit longer. I see they aren't filled all the way so maybe 3-4 gallons of soil? In my experience, giving the roots more room makes them take a bit longer to flower.
