Crawdaddy's Fall 2013 TopLED COB Grow

Got the 4' X 4' grow tent today. Set it all up.

4 ' X 4' Gorilla Grow Tent
Mars II 1200
Exhaust fan and 2 small clip ons for circulation.

Now I just need to get my plants to grow up some so I can start filling it up :)

How do you like the Gorilla? Does it have a much tent suck? Do the sides concave? I'm shopping for a larger tent, and she looks so sweet!

On my 3x3 there is some concaving of the sides. I can't imagine it being any better on any other tent though if blowing air out and none in. These gorillas are built solid,but $$$, but still fabric so the walls do suck in. If you want no tent suck going to need solid wall. I may rearrange fans to blow air in at bottom and leave top ducts open. This would inflate the tent some. When I did that before just had exhaust fan sitting on floor so made whole house hum lol. I may find someway to isolate the vibration and redo to push sir in.

Sounds like you have a winner. I've yet to try a positive pressure approach. I just built a PVC frame to prevent the 'suck' on 3 of the 4 sides. Maybe I should try the other way too, to see if I like it. Thanks CD!

Did the PVC frame help you out at all? I do not think really affecting anything but the suck is kind of unsettling.

Looks like a great set up Craw:peace::thumb::goodjob:

Thanks Man, now I just need to get some plants in there :) Probably be a few weeks yet.

The PVC works pretty well, for the suck on my 40"x40" Silver Edition, which is not as heavy as the Gorilla. It is also good for points of access, fans etc. I had some good bushes in there, and while tight, without the PVC, it would not have fit as easily. I think it also helps take some stress on the seams etc. :) :peace::Namaste:

You'll need to get things set up then you'll have a great grow in your new tent. I am going to start on my new stealth grow room with a hidden door and all soon. it will have twice as much room as the old grow room The one thing I really need is a good carbon filter all of my other equipment checks out good. I need to get the odder under control.:peace::thumb::goodjob:
 
Happy Tokerday Crawdad :thumb:

Good luck on the new room, been wondering what is up with your grows.

I got some plans for when I get home from work today. The Super Cheese and Brainstorm under the DS 200 are most likely coming down, will do final trich check but I think ready.

The BlueBerry seedlings will be transplanted into their permanent home. Checked on their roots last night, starting to fill up little pots they in.

The plants under the TopLED COB+supplemental are going nuts. May do picture update tonight even though only 3-4 days since last update, they are changing so fast. They probably need another feeding too.

Checked on some of the clone roots too, some are much farther along, but they all have rooted. Do not know what taking so long for roots to poke out side of rockwool in the one Hawaiian Snow in rockwool, but I broke it open a bit and there are roots in there.
 
Today was a busy day in Crawdaddy's garden.

Transplanted the 4 Blueberry babies into 3 gallon pots and gave watering with GO ferts. And moved them under the Mars 2. Also started to see roots poking out of rockwool, so put the Hawaiian Snow clone in the Water Farm and under the light...

looking groovy! congrats on the harvest. I would have left them longer, but they're mature for sure
 
Thanks man, I like the more cerebral instead of couchlock high, so I go at 100% cloudy with few ambers.

problem for me is that my trichs are always looking clear, even when there are ambers, so I just keep em growing.
 
Congrats on the uarvest I can't wait to pull my tent but still eight weeks to go just stsrted flower looking good can't wait to see the new girls all sticky
