Here goes Something…

This is an open log, feel free to add your thoughts, questions or just follow for the trash fire that is my current situation. @_@

I am working with 6x Gelato 33 clones that have been on a rough ride already. I had them indoor in the beginning but had all kinds of pests and the airflow was trash. I moved them outdoor and seen some improvement, come to find in my location i can only grow indoors. Now it’s time to move them back indoors also they started to flower. Rather than put them back into my DIY grow room/garage I’ll do it properly. They have suffered enough already from nutrient burn then lack of nutrients, pest, high winds, overcast and flowering. 99% me just EF’ing things up. Let's Go!


Location: California, San Francisco/Sacramento/Modesto area. South East facing room upstairs.

Environment:
  • 80"X80"X78" Ipower Grow Tent
  • 20gal Mesh Bags
  • 2x Briignite 80w (~ 800w) Led Grow Lights 3x3 Coverage
  • 2x Briignite 60w (~ ??) Led Grow Lights 2x2 Coverage
  • 6” Inline 400cfm With Carbon Filter Exhaust, 10ft Ducting
Soil/Amendments:
  • Fox Farm Ocean Forest 16.5cf
  • Mother Earth Nitro Bat 5-3-1
  • Perlite W/ No Added Fertilizer
  • Fox Farm Grow Big

Update May 10th: Time to take this shit inside! It's stressful.

With help from a few members here i have modified my grow tent as follows.
I added a 315w CMH( currently at 70% utilization) and 2x 4ft fluorescent lights, removed two 60w LED's. Switched to using 10gal bags instead of the 20gal and I put up a large fan for air circulation.

Prior temp was ~70-73 w/40% humidity
Current temp is ~ 81-83 w/30% humidity

Notes:
  1. Plants were stressed from transplanting / change in lighting from outdoor.
  2. Added a top dressing, going to make a light compost tea for later.
  3. Still need to work on the training and thin a few up.
  4. FFS get some tables and a real drain system
Pics to follow, i'm sure their lights need a better layout.

The tent has holes, zippers get caught every time I use them, and it's super overkill with the number of plants I have. It feels like the whole thing will come down at any moment. is already starting to rip at the corners. The exhaust won't go past 70% and is dropping a ton of carbon everywhere. LEDs are shit (the ones I got anyway) for the watts needed.

Need to do some research this time. I'm downsizing the tent, getting better exhaust, quality over price from now on!!

Getting 2 1500w HPS (these are given to me) will the 807CFM still be enough to cool the room?

The tent is up, with no holes or rips. I'll be sanitizing it tomorrow and then loading it up with gear.

I have moved my Gelato out of the tent allowing for 6 new girls to move in. I am giving the 8 Gelatos out to friends. Next up are Black Jack, White Tahoe Cookies, and Gush Mints. I'll be starting another log for that run today.
