Be Irie.. BG,WR, and mystery 1st grow

Hey Vic, are your fans the 4" or 6" that are made for the tent or are they osallating fans on the inside. How is that scrubber working? The babies are 4"-5" tall, so I have a big ass box fan in there blowing over the top of them. I am in a condo so I think noise and odors are going to be a concern a bit later on..I am not sure what the upstairs neighbor is going to think about the constant hums of fans and stuff. I am growing legally but would rather not attract any attention. Back to the scrubber,should I go with the 6" or 4" or just make it an exhaust and get an ionizer? It's only a 4x4x6.5 tent..How hard can it be to keep the odor down? I will never have more then six plants at once(got to keep it legal) =( One more thing, VIC, do you have problems keeping your humidity up in your tent?
 
The fans are inside the tent. I have two on both ends of my reflector to keep the tops cool.

The carbon filter is working great. I only turn it on during the day though, it's off at night. When I wake up though, my whole room reeks. It's a great way to start off your day, needless to say. But, depending on the size of your condo, odor can become a problem. If you're handy at all, you can probably make your own carbon filter. There's a lot of great information if you look around a bit.

Humidity ... in the beginning it was only about 40% in there. When I transplanted to 5 gallon pots, it immediately shot up to 60%. Now, since my plants are bigger and need water more often, it's about 65-70%.
 
I am handy but even more I am lazy and would rather buy it, pull it out of the box and let her rip...:bongrip:

Here are a few pics of the babies..
MB-1 looking good, wish I knew what kind it is?

The heat is under control, I raised the light to 15" and it now stays in the low 80's.. I will keep an eye out for stretching or growth spurts...
 
Man they look good!

A couple look like they need magnesium. The leaves are turned up like they are praying, Epsom salts can alleviate this, just not to much. magnesium can lock out other nutes if you over do it.

I think I used galvanized nails to add this to my plants, just a single nail in each pot.
 
Taco's leaves were doing that from day one.. It is kinda crazy that the two BG's look so much different... I may just have to go with the Galvie trick... I figure I have a bit until the odor comes on strong so I will keep an eye out for some good prices..

here is the tent, plenty of room for me

ok, time for the 2 week b-day pics.... They all seem to be doing good, BG-1 and MB-1 are stacked like a brick shithouse.. I am not sure if I should raise the light up and try for a little stretch or just let them keep acting like they are on steroids.. ok here are the two week old pics..

The BG-2 and MB-2 I started the LST after the pic was taken.. I am going to train two and supercrop one of them, top one and levave one alone and see what they do...
 
Nope, but two of the leave tips were smashed in between the pots when I rotated them, so they look like the are...

A quick question about super cropping.. I just read somewhere to not do it if the spacing between the stacks were less then 1.5"... Two of the babies are .5" spaces and the two others are under an inch.. Should I raise the lights a bit and try to stretch them or leave them be for a bit longer???
 
Any suggestions on when to start giving them nutes, I have been watering with plain water for 2.5 weeks now. I was thinking of starting the veg nutes @1/4th strength and see how they respond...My kelp should be here by the end of the week...
 
Ok, time for a little summary of what has been going on this week... I have decided to do a few different things with the plants as it seems like a good time as any to experiment. They all had their first rounds of nutes on Thursday, so here we go.. As of today..BG's-20 days old MB's 19 days old the two WR's are a week old (didnt post anything about them).

BG1- going to let her grow, have been supercropping the side shoots ( not the main). 8" tall.. looking good and has a super sweet smell..

BG2-LSTing and supercropping the side shoots( loving that) multiple sites shooting straight up. Stem is 10" long and it is 5" high. yellowing tips have to cut nutes in half. Otherwise looking good.Smelling quite good..

MB1- letting it grow (Indica, should be short)Supercropping side shoots and she loves it. 9" high short stacks and thick stem.Has a strong odor.. Yummy.

MB2-LSTing and supercropping the side shoots. The stem is 13" long and 6" high.. yellowing tips going to cut nutes in half.. Smelling good..

Pictures will be posted as soon as I fix the *&^%% camera! Chargers lost =o( :bong: Thanks for joining Berry... I have enjoyed your journals and plan on trying my hand at hydro one of the days..
 
Here are the pics.. I am so afraid to supercrop the main.. I am going to let them heal up and then try it on one or two of them... Ok here is two, seems I am a bit IRIE and accidently uploaded the same two pics:bongrip:
