Setting up dtw coco 2.5x5 tent

How can I keep them as long as possible? Some people grow 10” beards before planting. But 6 weeks is enough to out grow. Idk.

And there she goes. On a power strip so I can have this go off with out another pump to minimize failure.

Though one said they never heard it happen before. These timers are sophisticated, could easily bump it and change a setting. May of never failed that person but who knows.

I had a 400gph pump at first not pump out enough for these two. Back to thee ol orbit problems. Maybe they just arent atrong enough for an orbit but these vivosun 800gph are.

So “get a stronger pump” to fix the issue worked yet again. The 400gph runs the floraflex 8port manifold for the 4 one liter pots setup just barely ok. The power of floraflex!

Just dialing waterings in checking how it feeds. Just increased a bit for more runoff. I overfilled the pots because the roots are pushing the cap up a bit and the pot is almost overflowing from the rootbound.

I got clones for harvest to flip in 6 weeks then I have the next clones already potted now. To flip 9 weeks after I chop these in 6 weeks. THEN I need clones finally.

Will this problem get worse with the older clones? I know Il be pruning them several times before being flipped.

Should I toss the clones and start over? I underestimated how this would play out. I just didnt have a solid clone method to count on but I think I do now.

Should of been using my phone app for lux/ppfd. Things were wacky partly being new to the strain learning to scrog it better next time but tops getting 2000ppfd.

Was cool to dim or raise light in each tent knowing what the areas are getting ppfd wise. Pretty cool but should get an apogee thing as im relying on conversions.

Its all dialed in, looking at ppfd chart isnt as accurate I guess. Mars light at 22-25” instead of 18 and the others struggling with height so its not at a good dispersing height.

Its like 7” from light but theyre weaker which helps me this round theyre not dimmed. Fecida. Cool to the touch 65w. Shoot this 2x4x5 tent is tough.

Just need to scrog better and soon get a better light. 10-15k lux around the edges. I really like the mars hydro, solid 600-900ppfd all around canopy. Bigger tent, easier to dial in.

I had no idea the ppfd at 12” goes from 1200ppfd to over 2000 which the sun is about 2200. Crazy, its obvious why but damn.

Ugh cant find anything online at first glance. The other clones are more saucy more everything than the 2x4 clones with 65w.

10-15k lux around the edges and the carbon filter blocks light to 2k lux but have it to the side for minimal impact.

More earthy smell than the spicy watermelon kush the happy clones are producing. I think Il get two 130w ufos since the other clone is doing great under.

Any suggestions how the carbon filter can not be in the way but stay in the tent as they all exaust outside? Might get side lighting and use one beam for the carbon filter area.

I feel like the 2x4 clones growing subpar. Ugh why did I get 5’ tall tent.

Damn every other time I look at it Im soso about it. First its not good then its fine. I just hear people say 30-35w per square foot minimal and this is far against that.

I need something thatll keep 25k lux around the edges or 600ppfd. This light doesnt disperse the best.

My other clone in 2x2 130w its dimmed almost half its out grew I shoulda weaved n tucked just a few more times. Its poppin! Super saucy can see buds more developed.

My mars hydro clones are just behind this a but negligable but the 2x4 making me want to upgrade light asap.

I want a good 8 oz from that tent of saucy buds this has me wanting to separate the rosin. Might be slightly less good. Anyone chime in please.

The mars clones. Something just aint right with the 2x4. This sat would be 4 weeks completed so kinda concerned.

Its great but as the plants reach the lights they have dark spots. Its meant to hang a certain height but whatever lol its working. Just holding clones in limbo in here.

Are these the ac infinity bar lights? Considering getting the dome set with these lights.

Yea I think the dome lights are slightly dimmer not sure but the heat mat, dome and root riots I had great results. My new go to method.

Anyone know why my 3x3 veg tent has almost soaking wet condensation all around the edges of bottom of tent along the outside of the water tray?

Is that all it is, condensation? The whole edge outside the tent is wet to the touch. I freaked out thinking its my first flood but its just what I said.

Some pics. Dry in the tent but along outside the mylar water tray is dripping wet. The fabric of tent outside it is drying up so maybe it happens at night when it gets like 66F in the room? Idk.

Could you use a thread to barb fitting with tubing to drain the dehuey? Trying find hoses with no report of leaks and need it flexable.

Why not just buy a dehumidifier or washing machine drain hose? Does your dehuey have a continuous drain port, or are you wanting to mod it so that it does?

It has a continuous drain port and looking at my brand frigidaire they have a hose that looks flexible but reports of leaks. Figured a fitting with plumbers tape would do but idk never heard someone do that.

Needs to wedge inbetween two tents to the drainaway tray so it drains into the condensate pump. So flexable hose would be nice. The dehuey needs to move back and forth to access tents etc.

Heres a pic of the narrow path. A bed is right there. Would like dehuey to face the tents so the intake can freely work.

Its been needing to dump twice a day and if I am distracted like I just was, it spiked from turning off. This run has had almost no hiccups, the tents were good but was 60rh in the room. Exausting kutside for the win!

Not sure how a hose would leak unless it wasn’t screwed in tight enough so the washer makes a good seal. Maybe those that gave bad reviews tightened it by hand without pliers? Or is it the actual hose itself? Anyway, yea you could get away with making your own drain hose with barbed fittings.

I mean, I had garden hoses for my drainaway tray leak and suddenly stop so I thought it was possible. Like you said with pvc theyre meant to fit tight that iit didnt leak without cement but idk about threads some leak some dont.

Idk how to fix it if it does though. I wasnt sure if I could without turning it off and its humid today. I assumed I could. I want it figured out asap though this grow hasnt seen rh above 57% as of now.

Was lower but today was cleaning reservoir and got distracted and sick of it. Only 3 wks flower left.

So if the system runs just barely to where it doesnt overflow like literally on the line.. Plenty of runoff to get to harvest.. Due to overfilled pots the system is restricted to almost dripping. The water doesnt flow down fast enough so the inflow has to come in at a drip almost.

When watering 2 hrs early it overfilled and spilled for almost half the time it was on (2 mins). I feed 8x a day every 3 hrs. Is this a sign of dryback thus being watered appropriately?

Started at 6x a day untill the over spill started happening. If they were filled with slack for waterings to puddle up I may of kept it at 6x a day. Unless something else brought it to my attention.

So from hand watering I used to get a feel for how long it would take before getting runoff indicating how much dryback just occoured. Is this all right? Just making sure and about to flip next round.
