    4x4x8 tent

    You’d need about 4 of those for a decent grow in a 4X4 footprint. Better off for the money to buy a TSW3000 if you’re looking for retail lights you can get on Amazon. Same money, better company, same output as 4 of those.

    Building my 4X8 Auto-grow tent/room

    I was all set up to have my 3X3 be used as my drying tent, and then got an email from HGCC saying that the Autos I was growing were actually photos. So I needed to use the 3X3 as a flower tent for 3 of the girls I was growing. So....cardboard box method it is! I've got 2 plants drying in there...

    Please judge/criticize my first tent setup

    Honestly, you could have gone with a 4X4 tent then. Most of us with 4X8s are running 10-15 plants in them. Alternatively, you could grow 5 monsters in there, but you're going to need (nearly) completely different lighting for that. That being said...grow with what you have! If you upgrade...

    4x4x8 tent

    Is this the light you're talking about? https://www.amazon.com/Spectrum-Switch-Greenhouse-Flowering-Growing/dp/B07R7N9VZF/

    White Widow, First Grow

    What light is that? Looks sweet. Y'all on that side of the pond have some cool options for retail lights that we don't have over here.

    4x4x7 grow tent

    The spread on the TSW3000 is 5' in veg, and 4' in flower...according to their site. If you're going to have plants all the way to the walls, then just get the 3000 and be done with it. Much simpler...and $100 less expensive. I'm not sure two 2000s will offer you much more than one 3000 will. If...

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

    I 100% agree. Unfortunately, I only grow Autos, so I can't do that. It's why I said it "wasn't exactly scientific." I AM, however, growing one each Blueberry and White Widow from the same Seedbank, so this is as close as I can get given the circumstances. All 4 seeds were germinated on the same...

    2x2 Grow - Mars Hydro TSW2000 - Home Made DWC

    Actually, the whole tent hovers at around 55%, so it's not outside of normal for the flowering plants too. Just a little something extra. It's on a pretty low setting. The fan keeps most of the moisture on the seedling side, by design. (I'm at about 45% on the flower half, and 55-60% on the...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    After some thought, I flip-flopped the flower plants to the smaller tent. I'm going to let the 3rd BB veg a little longer (maybe 2 more weeks) and then put him in the 3X3 with the other gals. Ideal: No. Practical: Yes. I have 5 other Autos that wouldn't work in the 3X3, and more seeds on the...

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

    I emailed "Dr. Jim" and got the response that for cannabis, I could use it for every feeding, so that's what I've been doing. No signs of nute burn at all for the 4 weeks I've been using it on all of my plants. In fact, I was feeding daily for a while there, not realizing that I'm not supposed...

    At least they’re replacing the seeds...and I kind of have a backup plan, so all is not lost I guess.

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. They're just going to get bigger. I'm going to be stuck like this for the next 6-8wks. Maybe I SHOULD move the BBs to the 3X3 and just live with them being stuffed in there so I can continue along with the 4X8 just growing autos. I was noticing how big they...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Stuck my head in the tents this morning, and everything is humming along. I'm not familiar with photos at all, so I don't know how long it's going to take to get them kicked into "flower mode" but I guess I'll just watch and see. Turned off the 3rd light in that tent this morning. The one off...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    ...and that was just one of the two plants I have to do. I've been spacing the second one out over the course of the day. It's actually much bigger, I think. I'm keeping them separated and will weigh the finished product when I'm done curing in a month. But, yeah...trimming really sucks. I see...

    $2000 Budget - (Stimulus Check) - 1st Time Grower

    We all agree that 5lb isn't feasible. Just trying to make the budget work with quality gear that's easily accessible.

    Growing Autos at 12/12

    Literally no choice these days. Mistakes happen. Sometimes they're mine...sometimes they're other humans' mistakes. There are much more important things to worry about these days...

    Growing Autos at 12/12

    4X8 tent with 10 plants in it. Alright....I think I found a solution. Used a spare TSW2000 and my 3X3 drying tent as a "flower tent" until these girls finish, and then it can go back to a drying tent. Since these were the plants up next to flower, it'll work out perfectly. So I can keep my...

    Growing Autos at 12/12

    I've got 2 Bruce Banners at 5wks 2 at 3 weeks 2 White Widow Autos at 2 weeks 2 Blueberry at 2 weeks. So if I flip now, the girls at 3, and 2 weeks of veg will likely suffer the most. I'm working on a way that I may be able to get an old tent up and running and put them in there at 12/12 so I...

    Growing Autos at 12/12

    Hey gang. I've been working on a perpetual grow with Autos for 3 months now. Planting 2 pots every 3 weeks or so. I've got 10 plants in the tent right now. I JUST learned from the seedbank that 3 of the plants I have in there right now weren't autos, and were misrepresented on their site as...
