    Is 8 inch 800cfm overkill for a 4x8 tent ?

    I have a 6" in my 4X8 and I wish I had an 8" as I've got it at full blast and it doesn't seem to be enough at times.

    In other news, the perpetual auto tent is crushing right now. I’ve got 8 plants going in 3 stages and everything is chugging along as planned...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Yeah, I flipped about 10-12d ago. These were thought to be autos, as that's all I grow. The Seedbank had them listed incorrectly on their website, so this 3X3 tent I have them stuffed into wasn't ever meant to flower anything but be my drying tent. That's why this is all a mess. If I was meaning...

    Actually, just tried banding one of the taller branches over a bit, and it snapped right off. So that made a decision for me. Oh-well....it's all experimenting at this point.

    You mean try to bend them over? Like super cropping? The bigger problem I think is that the tent is wall-to-wall leaves right now. I think I need to get in there and defoliate a bit so the light gets past the top and into the mid/lower branches. I've got nothing but time right now, and...

    Need some advice on my seedlings

    You could let them go a little longer in the cups you're using now. The problem is, this early, you don't know what you have yet. Odds are, 50% of your seedlings are female, but which 50%? You run the risk of transplanting all males, and then your whole experiment is for nothing.

    Need some advice on my seedlings

    Whoa! That's a lot of seedlings for a first grow. I'd have started with 4 and keep the two females and then learned that way before I went too far! Anyway. You're definitely off to the races. What's the rest of your setup look like? If you're keeping 8 plants, then you're going to need a pretty...

    I'm about 10d into the flip. Should I just lop off those top/high branches right now? The stalks are about 1/2" thick. I was 1/2 considering just chucking the plants altogether, so I'm willing to experiment here. Was thinking of just taking the top 12" off and seeing what happens. The autos in...

    Building my 4X8 Auto-grow tent/room

    Added in some vent hose from the 3X3 drying tent as a bit of active cooling for the LED drivers. Since they get hot, and add to the heat in the tent, I thought about how to cool them without adding an AC unit to the room, thus adding more noise. Just doing this dropped the temp in the tent by...

    I have NO clue what to do about the photo tent. Those girls were touching the light this morning. I was able to squeeze another 4-5 inches up on the light, but I'm against the fan now. Should I bend the top branches over, like a super crop? Chop the branches and live with just the yield off of...

    Week 10 flower - Am i there yet???

    The standard advice I was given: It's easy to chop too early, and hard to chop too late. I'd give it another week or two and then see where you are. You've come this far, and you'll regret it if you chop too early. How are the buds? Hard or squishy? I chopped my first grow a few weeks too...

    Will this work for flowering

    No. As previously stated, filtering light through a red fabric isn't going to give you the result you're looking for. You have a higher chance of starting a fire than anything else you're trying to do.

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    Plants: Easily 2X bigger. Scent: Yes. It smells like hell, actually. :spew: Stain: Some has dripped on my wood bench, and it definitely stains it. It's also untreated butcher-block wood though, so anything stains it.

    CS plants on the left, GH-3P on the right. Day 16 of Veg since sprouting. Both are on the same feeding schedule. 1 day of nutes, 1 day of water.

    I'm going back/forth on that right now. I don't have room for another 3X3 anywhere in the room...or the house for that matter. I've got 8 plants in the 4X8 now, so I'd need another 4X4 to make it work. Just don't have the room. I'm honestly just going to ride it out with those girls with what I...
