Thanks man! I am still learning, so lets learn together!

Not really Cannabis but indoor gardening related. My wife bought these special issues tulip bulbs that are red and white celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary. She got them late in the season and the lady at the green house said to just put them in pots in your garage since they didn't have time to root and they would be fine ...

Anyways, we had a bit of warm weather here, and then the temps plunged again. I am getting into my car one day in the garage and i notice the planter boxes my wife used are getting shoots popping up in the pitch black garage. Now my garage is not heated and it was about 20 degrees F outside, i didnt hold out much hope for them to be honest.

I was still determined to save them though, so i grabbed a folding table, an old 6 bulb T5 unit i had, a 2x4 drain table and i set up an area with some poly draped around to hold in some heat and humidity. The boxes she used had some organic soil i mixed up with amendments for herbs the year before. I started giving them the extra left over feedings from my girls, and for the last one as i noticed flowers starting, gave them a nice pre-flower feeding.

What do you guys think of my winter garage tulips? lol

Yea the flood table is nice, i paid about the same for mine. I am just running drain to waste with it. The one thing i will warn you though is that when they mean 4x4, they mean exactly that. I figured i could off set mine and work it into my 4x4 tent ... no dice. I had to bust out my jig saw and modify it to fit.

It is definitely a time saver though, i have it set up with a ebb and flow kit drain and some hose that i run to a basement floor drain and coil up and put away under the flood table in the tent after i am done. I just had them in hard pots in saucers last time, this is so much easier. I built a small stand to give it clearance for the drain out of scrap plywood and 2x4s i had and gave it 1/4' per foot slope, the minimum amount needed for proper drainage.

I am still hand watering, but not with the tent so packed under a trellis, this is my next purchase, a pump and watering wand. I am going to just get a big garbage can with the wheel set on the bottom from home depot for my reservoir. It will cost me about $300 to set up but then i will have a permanent watering solution. No more watering cans, christ that would have been a nightmare in a double trellis in a packed tent. Right now i am also mixing in a couple of 5 gallon buckets which is pain in the ass too, so it will be nice just using one container for everything.

What is the pump you're getting here, I've been looking around since yesterday trying to find one that would suit my needs without totally blowing my budget.

Hey bud, this is a sump pump, 1/2 HP 1585 GPH. The company name is Mondi, which is a Canadian brand i do believe. I am sure you could get another brand sump really, though i am not sure what specs are required in regards to having a powerful enough pump. This one is from a hydro store, so i am sure i will pay a premium versus sourcing it elsewhere for cheaper. I just liked going one place to take care of the entire solution, my time is limited.
 
3/23 evening update:

Environment:

Ambient air temp: 75.9 degrees F
Relative humidity: 62%
Leaf surface Temp:

Directly under light - 75.6 degrees F
edge of tent - 73.5 degrees F

Feeding Solution (10 gallon dechlorinated water):

2.5 ML/G CaMg+
5 ML/G Biothrive Grow
5 ML/G Bioroot
2 ML/G Bioweed
4 ML/G Rhino Skin
4 ML/G Sensizym
2.5 ML/G Humic acid
2.5 ML/G Fulvic acid
1/16th TSP/G Amino acid
1/16th TSP/G B vitamin

Solution PH: 6.3
Solution PPM: 502
Solution temp: 88.3 degrees F

I definitely made an error writing down my PPMs last feeding, i noticed the difference and calibrated and double checked, pretty much the same feeding so this one is the more accurate reading. Live and learn!
 
The tent is filling up quick and i was a bit worried about stretch so i lowered the trellis a bit, and will most likely be flipping to flower in 7-10 days. I am happy with the structure and there is enough branching already to fill up the trellis, just a matter of it growing in a bit.

Yea looks like a little nute burn.. ive read people like a little nute burn on the tips, lets them know the plants are taking up the nutes well. How much of the amino acids are you adding per gal?

The application calls for 1/8-1/4ML/G and I fed 1/16ML/G. I noticed those tips yellow after a previous straight watering a bit, so who knows. She could have just hit a rich pocket in the soil. It's not that bad, and like you say it is just pushing them to their limit, as long as I don't go over it that is.
