Bagseed, mixed lighting, semi-stealth

[xombie]

So I've decided to start growing as a way to keep myself occupied and encourage positivity in my life. I have 2 different types of bagseed, 4 of 1 kind and 2 of another. I'm using a 9w led, 38w led both 5000k. A 26w CFL and 13w CFL both 2700k. Still debating on flowering lights but I have time. I have a 2x2x4 tent hidden in my closet, double stealth, and a cardboard box 25x21x17 with a thick camping emergency blanket for relection and humidity control. Just having fun here but I am hoping to get a few ounces or so, who knows. How do you like it?

That's a 75w Sylvain ? Bulb. I'm using it to heat up the box in order to draw out the water from the soil I used. Just transplanted into it before the pic and sprayed about an oz or 2 of water to settle the soil. I figure the humidity will help more than stagnant water at this stag in its life.

Thanks! Changed it up a bit. Used some vinegar to lower ph and h202 3% hydrogen peroxide to both add oxygen and dry up the medium, I overwatered a bit, and to help kill the gnats. Dosed all the plants and they seemed to love it, used distilled water. Threw a bar of soap in my exaughst for good measure, smells good and helps me tell how humid it is since I havn't bothered with a hydrometer. Inaccurate and I just thought of using it like that, could work though we'll see.

There's a small led in the reflector light, I move the plants around every day pretty much but they do seem to like the led, probably cause I put it right on 1 plant at a time so it's more intense.

Hard growing something like that. Good luck man.

 

[Frank Nitty]

I hope it works out for you!!! We'll see now,wont we????

Cheers, yeah this is more of an uncontrolled experiment than a legit grow. Testing the waters before I take clones so I know what I'm in for as far as what the plants like and dislike, and react to different ph and lights n such.

For your flower light a HLG 135 QB setup would work good for you. I have a 260 w QB from HLG and have yet to turn it past 185-190 watts. I have very similar setup. Lemme know if you need anything

I'll check it out thanks, been putting off getting a solid light since I keep changing my setup. Getting to be that time though, thanks for the tip.

Well i ended up getting a Wills "600"w which is 100w actual with both veg and flower settings on. I put it in my veg/clone room because I hate seeing the blurple bs. I didn't think about that when i bought it. Anyway, here's an update, I've topped very irregularly and randomly, out of boredom I guess but it's been fun so far. I switched to 12/12 more than a week ago but still no pistils so I'm thinking there's a light leak. Actually I did leave on a light one day so that's my bad. Switch today! Lol here's a few pics

I ended up getting a 2.5x2.5x5, the first pics were in a 2*2*4. The right side is 2 3gal and 2 4gal flowering, 2 each of bagseed sativa and indica (hybrids of course it seems) I just put the others in there, alongside the wills light, 100w output, but im not sure i have to space to flower them all in there. ..2 5gals and 2 3 gals on the left, 12/12 as of last night. Both manifolded, planted a few weeks apart. I don't have the space for my clones and those 4 in my other 2*2 tent,you but I just realized there's no room to let them flower with the others, which are almost 3 weeks in.

One of the little ones looks like she won't make it, probably better off with my space..

So this is beyond my initial title, but I guess this is my grow jurnal now. Lights are improving and the stealth aspect is out the window lol.. I just ordered an hlg 100w v2, should be here thursday. My tallest colas in flower are 2 feet from the ground, so I think I'm gonna move the 3 I have in flower into my 2*2*4. I have no idea which light to put in there.. 95w 4000k led, Wills 600w 100w actual, or the 100w hlg.. I'm going to move I think just my 2 5 gals into my 2.5*2.5*5 to flower and then transplant my 2 3gals to 5gals to veg another month until my 2*2 is freed up. They might get too big at that point but I can take clones.. I keep forgetting that I have like 9 healthy clones ready to go, pretty sure I'm just gonna leave them be for a while until I catch up with myself lol

I've been switching the 5 and 3 gals in and out of my flower tent overnight so they each get a light schedule with about every day n a half on, half a day off.. sketchy but short term. I just took out all 4 because I see stretch and I don't want them to go into flower quite yet. A bunch of clones died but I have at least 4 going steady, more than enough.

 

[xombie]

Alrighty, moved my 3 flowering to my 2*2*4 with the wills 600w 100w actual. Moved my carbon filter as well as put a different fan. Temps at 87 at sundown so I'm probably ok there, LEDs can go at higher temps and my ladies have hit 95 more than a few times, should be ok.. switched my 2.5*2.5*5 to a veg tent but I think I'm going to switch to 12/12 pretty soon, maybe get yet another tent for clones, or just scrap them and use the seeds I hope to harvest from my one male's pollen

 

[xombie]

Seems like I have plenty of space to veg, I'm honestly thinking of putting both my 100w wills blurple and my new 100w hlg qb inside my 2*2*4. Overkill?? I feel like I can veg with my 54w 4000k home Depot light for a month or 2 till I finish flower, then move all my lights to the 2.5*2.5*5 to flower my 5 and 3 gals, the 3s I plan to put into 5s. Got a mix of 4 CFLs and 1 led bulbs, just 1 is 5000k the others are 2700 or 3000k. Wish I could fast forward time .

 

[xombie]

Temps up to 89 now, 80 inside the room outside the tent, should still be ok I think, no?

 

[xombie]

@Frank Nitty what were your temps with the qb 100 ??
