protopipe1s tent grow!

[protopipe1]

'Sup fellow tokers? This is my first grow journal, but my 11th harvest to date.

• Growing in a DR 100 tent (love it!). Exhausting w/450 CFM through carbon filter into closet attic.
• Lit by 600 watt dig HPS from HTG and using the Agromax bulb w/enhanced blue spectrum.
• Temps stay in the low 70s and humidity is around 45%.
• Growing in 4 plant top drip set up and a waterfarm.

Right now, the 2 Widows and the NYCD are 3 weeks ahead of the other two ladies, so I am letting them veg until they are bigger(I had to LST the NYCD due to rapid growth in the waterfarm). The Blue Moonshine and LA CON are in there third full week.
2 more weeks and I will start 12/12.

• Nutes-Dutch Master Gold Grow A & B, DM Zone, and Cal-Mag, for vegging.
• To flower, I add in Liquid Koolbloom and Flora Nectar, and then replace the Koolbloom with AN Overdrive the remaining 2-3 weeks of flower. Then, after 2 week flush they will be harvested.

I am waiting for my new cam to come, then I will upload pics of my girls and my set up. Thanks for riding along, any comments or questions are welcome. Peace out, protopipe1

Can you post a picture of how you are venting your tent. i am trying to figure out a similar setup tto what you have going. I want to figure out how to vent my tent properly.

I took some more pics...this time I used the close up mode, so they maybe a little better. I am waiting for a better camera to arrive, but until then this will do. This is a boring phase of growth IMHO. Flowering is a blast and watching the buds grow so explosively like they do is a joy to see!

The first 2 pics are Widows, the next is the NYCD and the next is the Blue Moonshine, I am going to load (he he, I said load!)the last pic of the LA Confidential in the next pst. P

The exhaust is really loud, so I hooked up a speed control to it. I am running it at about 70% maximum speed and my room is in the low 70s. I tried using the thermostat controller that automatically turns the fans on at a set temp, but it killed my plants in there 3rd week of flower. And I will have smell issues if I don't run in 24/7. Now it is just a matter of time waiting to turn to 12/12.
Thanks for your kind words. Peace out, protopipe1

Here are a few pics of the other tent. I am going to grow out 4 Kushberrys in 2 waterfarms, under 2-150 watt HPS, and 3-125 watt CFLs w/7,500 lumens each. This is ducted to my attic using the fan in my other tent as well as 1-2 small fans for circulation. protopipe1
P.S. I will post pics of the other 5 girls, they got there last veg nutes this morning, so I am ready to go 12/12!

Hey riu farmers!

I flipped my lights to 12/12 this morning, after flushing with just h2o for 24 hrs.

I fed transition base nutes only (1/2 DM Gold Grow A & B and 1/2 DM Advanced Bloom A & B). Next week I will give them there first full base bloom nutes, and add in Flora Nectar and Koolbloom. I will stay on this regimen from weeks 1 to 6 and then replace the Koolbloom with AN Overdrive for weeks 7 and 8. After a 2 week flush, I will harvest. The NYCD will get an extra week of Overdrive. (I foliar fed with DM Reverse and will repeat in 10 days).
I made one minor mistake when I put my NYCD in the waterfarm, which is 6-8 inches taller than my other hydro set up. Next grow I will grow out another LA CON in the waterfarm and grow 2 Super Lemon Hazes and 2 Red Diesels. This should help me keep an even canopy!
