re: Bassplayers DIY+Tent Grow 2011 - Multiple Strains in Airpots & DIY DWC
So another update,
The diesel haze just wont stop growing, shes at 21 days today and this morning the main cola was pishing against thr ceiling of the tent, above the light!! I pulled her out and did some more lst...this is how big she got, she was only vegged 2-3 weeks from seed...
heres some of her flowers, and it looks like shes gonna have quite a few
The main stem and cola...
some random buds...
So after tying her down, the main stem was completely straight, but only for a few hours as she headed straight back towards the lamp by the end of the day...
Diesel Haze tub now sits in the back right and the plant xtends pretty much the full width of the tent, Kromes The White now sits front right, signs of pistils which im happy about, (im still fretting a little over the lighting/timer balls up last week), I have 1 medijuana back left and 2 front left and centre...nicely crowded in there for sure...
To help with my obvious space issues my growshop guy gave me a fantastic deal on some new stuff and as time is against me I made a shortcut and bought a homebox 75x75x100cm, squeezes nicely into the corner here...
I have inside a 400W hps hooked up to a Gativa Digistar 400, electronic and dimmable ballast with a 10% boost, so my 400w bulb can put out either 250W, 275W, 400W or 440W. Its close enough to the big tent so I will connect some ducting from the small tent to the big one which has a new carbon filter. I will use a 120mm pc fan to assist with airflow from the homebox, hopefully then if my seals are good I can use the one extract fan and filter for both tents.
Inside the homebox today looks like this...
Which is 3 medijuana in coco with plagron nutes and 2 in soil with humate supreme, today ending 1st day of 12/12.
Not wanting to compromise my diy setup too much, I also found a great deal on some modular shelving....you can see some above with my nutes and spare bulbs on next to the homebox, which also if you look closely you can see my water reservoir which hold 100liter and has air continually pumped into it, I only use rainwater in it...and some more of the shelving I turned into a diy (BCNLish
) producer...
I fixed 2 x 2 18W T8's onto one shelf for vegging in my new diy 12 site veging bubbler
these lamps came with the fittings so i switch a couple out for some cool whites...above the veg shef will be my cloning shelf, I made yet another new cloner, 12 sites and i think a permanent one this time
...The tubs on top of the "producer" i will be trying to turn into a "yaroots" type mini x tank, primarily to flower upcoming sativas in the small tent which came with a grow/scrog net.
I also made 3 new 3 site DWC's which will be for the next grow in the big tent which as you might have guessed, will be hydro all the way...I think I like it better this way
So I saved one of the medijana that was in coco to use for clones, I have 2 diesel haze clones surviving, along with 2 from kromes the white plus 1 medijuana...and the cherry on the top of my great deal from my growshop guy way 10 free Colombian Haze , and 8 feminized Copenhagen Kush seeds, I hope to get a sample of each out as well as the others in my next grow...lets hope...oh and I know it says "autopots" in the title here, and I did intend to use em but thngs change as you see so they will not be making an appearance in this grow...I put em in my greenhouse outside and will get some tomatoes and cucumbers on the go
