Thats why i like this kind, then you cant lose the stopper, or be like me and have the stopper not stick in place, so when lights were supposed to come on, the stopper just slid, and never activated the switch

I have a digital on my flower tent, which I like because even when I unplug it the timer will stay powered long enough to change outlets, or for whatever reason I need to unplug it. My veg tent has a regular one from Hydrofarm and has been working fine so far

Hey hotsause, I just read about Herb IQ on a different thread. I downloaded it but haven't installed it yet. Is it cool?

For those who don't know Herb IQ is a computer program designed to keep track of all sorts of growing stuff. I'm going to check it out let you guys know what I think (because I know you all respect my opinion so much, lol)

It was cool till I upgraded and lost all my data. So i got pissed and stopped using it. Its a nice program, and it works well, but IMO not user friendly, and not stable.

Yea i like Herb IQ i also lost my data when i updated. It is very useful for keeping track of flowering dates,harvest and all that..... But o well Anyway i work at night and sleep during the day so i usually check on my girls when i get home from work and leave them be till the next morning. Guess that is my fault for not going to look right before i left for work... Like i said Nub move on my part

I was just wondering. I am paranoid about my timers due to all the failures and mishaps that I have had in my journey, lol. Seems the day i dont go check to see if they are working right is the day they break. what gives. Lol.

Look at it this way, just think of what that extra 3 weeks in veg is gonna do for your yield.

Also what nutes have you been giving them, flower or veg? or transition nutes, if you cut back on your N to flower, they might be a little hungry.

The Nutes is what im maddest about. They are in Super Soil so if the roots have already reached the S.S. which im sure they have im going to need to top feed a few times. This put a major ding in my plans but what can you do a mistakes a mistake and they might be starving for N considering they are in a Flowering Recipe
 
Thanks to comments from DST I came up with this.

Grow setup.jpg


The trays are 2x2 and are sitting inside the shanty.

I figure if a 1x1 holds 4 plants SOG style, than a 2x2 would hold 5 or 6 plants very comfortably.

As of now, I also have a homemade clone box that is doing well for vegging clones and I can place my clones in it a week before I harvest tray #4 so they are healthy.

Does this seem like a good setup to anyone?

Edit: Shanty = 4'10x7'8x7

Hotsause, don't worry, my wife feels stupid every day as well, lol. She just tends to miss the part I want her to feel though.

Like Gen said, you are going to have some TREES in there bru for sure!

Peace bru,

Set up looks good, how many 600's you planning on using Kyle? I would be tempted to get 2, one HPS, and maybe one MH, your plants will love that. I just think 1 light footprint is going to be a bit small for the size (even though it's not 10 foot like I thought, lol)

Thanks alot, DST.
Id +rep again if I could.

So your saying I should do two 600's instead of one 1000?

If 2 600's, should I go for two hps so they all get hps light, or should I go one HPS and one MH as you said?

Once more, thanks dude.

Why not one 600 on a light mover? or is that not as efficient? I dunno, just asking :)

As someone with a 1000 I say 2 - 600's is preferable. More light spread and I would imagine the heat is similar between 1 1000 and 2 600's. Anyways, my vote says 2 600's.

About the HPS/ MH, I think it depends on what the herb is for. If you are looking to make the most profit I would go with 2 HPS. If this is mostly for your enjoyment I would do 1 HPS and 1 MH. In my experience the MH in there really gets the frostiness going. I think MH makes tastier, frostier buds, just with less weight then HPS grown buds. A mix of one each should give some nice herb.

I agree about having a MH in the flower tent, I have noticed an increased amount of resin since switching too dual bulbs.
