JIMSKI'S 4X4 FOLLIES

Hello RUI!
Starting on my 3rd grow with an upgraded tent. 4x4 Vivosun with a 6 inch exhaust for top extraction and a 4 inch exhaust for bottom extraction. Lights are the Vivosun 400 watt se under app control with 2 150watt se lights set up on tethers for movement. This gives me a total of 700 watts. Also used are the ACI thermoforge and cloudforge on the ACi app. I have a moveable floor that I can set up at 18 up, 11 up or 7 up from the floor. This allows me to have the smallest tent size possible for lower cost to heat and humidify. The raised position also allows me to tend to the plants from a chair and this is a requirement due to ongoing back problems.

My grow this round will be ILGM apple fritter auto. I plan to pop 7 beans total with the hope of getting 4 to harvest. I will use farms soils and top dress with foop nutes in flower.

Currently letting tent stabilize at seedling stage. Seeds get started tonight.

4 for 7 so far on tap roots. 4 have been placed in 5 gallon fabric pots. 5000 lux at dirt level. Tent looks empty.
Already going to have to figure out environmental issues. Tent takes 15 minutes to return to 78 degrees once opened. Humidity much faster. Good news is that on a rainy day I can get lung room to 35% RH.

700 watts on 16 square feet - that ought to do the trick!

15 feet. Damn Cloudforge HAS to have a condensate catch. Some day I will modify the thing with an auto drain but not this run.

I use the little one (2' x 4' tent) - "condensate catch" = at the end of the hose?

Orange home depot 2 gallon bucket. with h2o2 in bottom. it drips out of the hose depending on settings and lung room. Can be onces can be full overnight.

Ok so new tent new stratagies. At seedling stage do not need a lot of airflow. The big 6 inch pulls 9 degrees out in 1 minute. going to purge tent every hour and get the bottom exhaust done asap. Once done I can run the 4 inch pulling out the coolest air on low setting making the heating and cooling easier.

Here is a trace. you can see the duct on pulling the heat down and screwing the vdp.

Soon as the duct fan stopped the temp and humidity went back to a nice wave.

Update.
Evening check found last 2 Apple Fritter Autos from ILGM split and tap root seeking. All out of Fox Farms so put both in 16 oz cups and basic seed starter and will deal with it tomorrow.
Or not being Easter. 8-/

Update.
Bought some organic soil and put last 2 in fabric pots. Going to move later and put under the 400 watt lights the one on right middle is way high.

First through the dirt.


Now 5 more.
Did not move to bigger light. Even at top of tent the big one is 7200 lux on the floor.
