You can skip the set up portion in Italic if you want to get directly to my questions. But comments on set up and everything will be greatly appreciated.

Here is a general set up of my grow tent. (Secret Jardin DR120 3'9" x 3'9" x 6'5")

1) 600 hps light set up
2) Circulation in the tent

3) Hydro Setup
- 3'x3' ebb/flow /w 15 gallons of OR water in reservoir there atm.
- 20 lb co2 with electric regulator, and 10 feet of tubing.

Here is my timer schedule. please comment.

Timer #1 (Light+light vent)
9pm-9am(on)

Timer #2 (Feeding and co2)
7am-7:10am (ON)
3pm-3:10pm (ON)
11pm-11:10pm (ON)
Rest of time (OFF)

takes about 3 mins to flood the tray. and co2 pumping at .75 cfh

Timer #3 (Tent Ventilation - intake/exhaust)
7am-7:20am (OFF)
3pm-3:20pm (OFF)

i see you got that secret jardin dark room!!!

haha yeah. Read here and on icmag about it. And i've seen your name many times on those Secret Jardin threads. Did u get one as well? hehe. they are awesome i have to admit. worth the $250.

Loudblunt maybe a lil help from a pro like you on some of my nub quests?
And everyone else as well. haha.

-cwang

yes i have one....im about to run 1k watter and aerotub in there

me a pro? hahaha not anywhere close.


but yea i can help with what i can...if not, i can direct you on who can help you.

whats your questions?

haha read my posts. is this why i never get replies? u lazy stoners just skim everything uh? Also i lowered my light to around 9-10 inches away from the top of plants. Since the temp is relatively around 70-75 i decided to move it closer. Humidity high 65/low 45

well i read....but this is one of my all nighters.... i just seen the tent posted & skimmed thru! damn insomnia...plus i just smoked a little bit. ill stop being lazy.

give me a second!!!

oh forgot to mention a big news. fucking i have spider mite problem. i can notice some white yellowish spots on top of plants. and i was able to spot couple mites under some leaves. I purchased a spary bottle in home depot that contains active ingredient : .7% neem oil. I decided to get this one instead of the concentrate, for conveniences purpose. i tried my best to cover everything in the solution. used about 1/3 of the bottle. so prolly used about 3-4 ounces of that diluted and ready to use neem oil solution. Hopefully after couple of application in the next 10 days, we can clear this problem. Soo effing glad i did my hw, or else i would've been FAWKED!!

hahaha, no worries. i kid, i kid. do take your time. All i need in my grow room now is an effing time machine. freaking 2 months are 2 long of a wait.

PH at 5.8
PPM at 700

only flood like 3/4 up the cube.... and flood only the time it takes to flood the tray. if it takes 4 mins...than flood for 4 mins....dont do the 15. only flood/run the pump for as long as it takes to fill the tray!!!

with RW cubes...you shouldnt need to flood that much...i would say only like maybe 2-3 and maybe increase in flower...they will tell you when they want more water.

also, put a cover over the RW media. that green shit is algae. put the covers on to block the light and add a little bit of industrial/horticultural grade h202!

as far as SOG, i would suggest you try to get smaller RW cubes. go like 4" and throw a rack of them in there. lollipop and get single colas!!!!


when my tent was set up before i ran 2 separate ventilation. 1 fan for the main exhaust with carbon scrubber attached & 1 fan for my light! I also had a fan on my intake!!!!

when i would run my co2, i would shut off ONLY my exhaust fan, leave my fan for light running as well as intake and an oscillating fan. i would run in cycles. wait for the temps and humidity to bounce back up (even if it didnt, i still exchange for fresh co2) and start a new cycle....

hope this helps!!!

i'd trim/lollipop now and flower them....especially if they are clones.

with the co2 your wait time can be cut in half!!!

how often did you run the co2? and what should i expect the harvest to be? i mean honestly i have like freaking no clue. i am hoping for around 300g. it might be too high.

Ycwang, if there was a newb of the year award i would give it to you. By far the best beginner set up i have seen in a long while.

And i thought you said you were getting WW clones?

yeah. white widow. hog's breath and bubblegum.

I am not too sure on how pure the strains are. But that's what i was told.

Well for all you know he could have sold you a white, blue/purple, and red strain and gave them famous names.

yeah. he sells what he grows. and he smokes what he grows. so hopefully he smokes dank shit, grows good shit and sells good shit. the dude that sold it to me is some 60 years old hippie dude who's been smoking for 40 years. so i hope he's legit. but i got them for 60 bux so whatever either way. they look good and the hog's breath is giving out this pungent earthy smell.

i went over to his place earlier to tokabit, he told me that i should use fim technique about a week into flowering to get higher yield. he said it work well for these strains, and he does it himself. any idea?

there babies are getting fat. i can notice visual difference. or maybe i am just hoping and imagining visual growth. Hit u guys with some pix soon. thanks and gl and plz comment i need any ounce advice i can get

Go ahead and trim them if you know how
