First Grow Ever, Excited, Anxious & A Little Scared

[Dogwash]

The bigger tent arrived yesterday. I set it up and packed the other away.

One plant was losing the leaves that were smushed. There was simply no room. I also lost leaves for the first time under the canopy.

I lowered the lights a little to give the girls the energy they need.

They have plenty of room to bush freely now. That tent is a huge relief. I could do 4 plants now too!

I can get some of those pipes tomorrow....i think it's a cheaper solution than the vent flex pipe.

Exciting times mate good luck

Hey hope it works out for you. I'm in the same boat waiting on seeds for 10 days now. Anyhow I have the same size tent and fan inside, but went with a 4 in. Filter as tent is small. I may try something different next time instead of coco. I have a few plants going now but don't what they are. That's why I wish seeds would come. Good Luck to ya!

How big is your new tent?

 

[imtoasted]

I think he said he wanted to get a 5x5 but had to get a 4x4 cause it wouldnt fit

Hi, Sir Pennywise.

The new tent is a 4x4.

 

[Horasce]

The girls branching and stretching in their new tent. Been about 1 week in flower.

Hi, Sir Pennywise.

The new tent is a 4x4.

Nice thats the same size im running.

 

[Horasce]

PW, I really think that the 4x4 can hold 4 plants and the 3x3 can really only do 1 comfortably.

My biggest concern now is if 600w is enough energy for buds.

Nice thats the same size im running.

 

[Pennywise]

I run 4 plants in my tent last grow ill flower 5 plants in my upcoming grow. My PS1000 led draws 570w at the wall and it worked a charm for me.

Re: First Grow - Ever - Excited - Anxious & A Little Scared

Idk if 600w would be enough its probably some where around 250-280 out of the wall and i think its good to have at least 100 out of the wall per plant. So three would be good four might be pushing it.

 

[imtoasted]

Next time around i want to do just two plants at a time and get a light that draws 280 watts max out of the wall in my 2x4x5 sounds perfect to me

 

[Pennywise]

2 plants vegged for a little extra time can produce big time.

Pics taken earlier today are below.

I cleaned out some of the weak branches, stems, and leaves to begin to get the girls to focus their energy on producing and building buds.

 

[Pennywise]

Like your lst setup

 

[Horasce]

It seemed to be the cheapest option at the time.

I didn't want to
1. Run all over the monstrous wal-mart
2. Spend a ton of money
3. Get asap after work
4. Be able to recycle my material
5. Not put holes in my cloth pots or tear them
6. Not hurt the plants

Their trunks are about the size of my second, pointer, finger.

Like your lst setup

How long before I see buds forming?

 

[imtoasted]

In the next week or two i believe, im in the same boat horasce.. first week of transitioning to flower is over and im starting to see lots of good sized pistils

 

[Dogwash]

In the first two weeks of flower they have a growth surge "the stretch" - in this time keep night temps just under day temp to promote tight internodal spacing

After this time when the stretch slows and flowers are showing drop their night temp to around 19C

Looking sweet Horasce

 

[Horasce]

Yeap! They keep stretching! ..........nice to know this is normal.

Still working on the vent tubes but we have had pleasent weather and we keep that room dark. I guess it's good enough because they are responding with a full stretch!! It's amazing to see the changes everyday.

Thanks for the response, DW!
