If there’s by chance anybody who is a new grower or never grown indoor, it might help you to note that all of my cords are outside of the tent. The floor of the tent is 100% cord free. This is desirable for obvious reasons…space, water, neatness, and to make the chance of blowing a fuse or getting yourself shocked zero. It’s a practice I strongly suggest. The inside environment of a tent is much more humid down low than you think. There’s no reason to have cords in there.

It’s part of a mindset that’s helpful to get into when your tent growing indoors. Keep the power away from water all the time. If you must use the floor, also water proof it.
Trying to help, lmao!
He says like it's nothin'.
How much can I generate from a half gallon pot do you think?
Hi @Jon, can I ask you are you going to have the lights this high or are you going to lower them further? Or will you add power to the XS1500 PRO?Prep Work and Distribution
I’ve been busy. Gotta take advantage of the time before I have three plants harvest at once. Lol. So I just got done prepping every pot we need for this grow with their appropriate medium.
Here’s the Blackberry Moonrocks and Double Grape in their final homes, ready for uppotting. I had to turn the @ViparSpectra XS1500 Pros up to 50% to achieve mid 400s ppfd at this distance.
Here’s the two pots for the closet and IN the closet, the Strawberry Gorilla ready to uppot and a packed pot for whichever auto pops the best. If both pop sweetly and I like them, I will add another auto to the closet grow. The choices of the autos in paper towels are Northern Lights and Cherry Pie.
Finally, @Azimuth will love this, here are the prepped soil organic pots.
The little guys are 1/2 gallon Phat Sacks.
Why four you ask? Well, because I’m taking a page from @NickHardy ’s playbook. He’s doing a Solo cup grow. I’m going to add these three half gallon pots and grow them out a la Nick’s Solo cups. They’re obviously larger, and I think I can pull an ounce from each easy. Little guys to go with the three. So that means we’d need four photos to fill the prepped pots. How about
Bubblegum Sherbet, Mountaintop Mint x M34, Junior Mint x MAC1, and Skywalker?
These are NASC freebies. I figure use up some freebies I know nothing about on the half gallon pots. Heh. So the 5x5 will have the clone in a 7 in the rig, 3 1/2-gallon photos, and one 3-gallon photo. The closet will house two (maybe 3) autos. And the ViparSpectra tent will house a two-auto scrog.
We are prepped for bear!
Cool, thanks. Don’t need drainage, they are mini cloth pots.
Hi @Kanno26 - well, right now they are seedlings. I prefer to begin them around 400-500 ppfd. So that’s where they are as you see them now. When I moved them into the pots and off the table, they of course became lower, so I turned the light up until it got me mid 400s ppfd at pot level. Right now the light is at 50%. It was at 25%. Ppfd reads 430-450. Once the plants have three or four sets of leaves I will turn the light up to 75% and get them into the 600-800 range, where they’ll stay for most of veg. When they flip themselves I will go to 100% and stay there the rest of the grow. Should get me to 1000-1100 ppfd for flower. The @ViparSpectra XS 1500 Pro is a real powerful light for its deceptively small size. They have plenty of juice to get the job done. First run with them the buds were nice and dense. The lights always stay where they are. The tent is only 5 feet tall, I need the vertical space.
