Mikedin's FC-E8000 Run #2 Photoperiod Time!

[Bill284]

Well it’s not the prettiest but I needed to have a space to try and run clones and seedlings if I’m gunna eventually have a perpetual harvest, so for now I present the makeshift clone “tent” lol about 115 watts total between the 4 bars they did very well over my veggie plants last spring so they should do great here too, still have a spiderfarmer heat mat under the tray, I guess we’ll see if we can make some clones survive, it’s nice and warm in there it’s about 4’x18”x20” tall just enough for rooting etc it’s nice and warm i there but I put a 2x8” heat vent in one end, the other end a 4” flex duct with 2x bends that goes into the blurple tent in the light diffuser so the 24 hour light dosent affect the 12/12 in that tent

Now I can flip the main tent to 12/12 when needed

You have to raise the rh for your clones.
They do better under a dome at first.
Otherwise they just wilt.
@VIVOSUN has a nice one, they have next day delivery through amazon.
Garden looks great.
Take care.

Yeah I was still working on that got out into another side project today haha, went to get bigger planters and soil today and well, $20 bucks in buckets and $30 in gorilla tape and I have 4 new 5 gallon buckets now to go get out the drill and make these new buckets look like Swiss cheese… gotta do what umya gotta do when you live in the COUNTRY haha

Upside the local grain and food store had 1.5cu. ft. bags of strawberry fields for $10.99 so I had to get 3 of those anyways lol so score

 

[Mikedin]

Gunna throw some screen in the bottom those are 3/4” drain holes in the bottom and then 5/8 holes all around the sides

 

[Mikedin]

Yeah I’m liking this

 

[Bill284]

Yeah I’m liking this

Brilliant.
I thought I could engineer the odd bit of kit.
But I'm well impressed my friend.
Love it.
Take care.
Oh did you get the rh up on the clones?

I take pride in my macguyver skills

 

[Mikedin]

They needed it they all where root bound, now they will recover for a week or 2 then I’ll consider flipping to flower

[Mikedin]

Spent some time defoliating on the candy kush in the blurple tent she’s about 12 days into flower

 

[Mikedin]

Couple photos of the cookies Kush

 

[Mikedin]

Last minute did a ton of messing around today just did some top training on the smallest plant right until lights out lol, sucks trying to cram 3 weeks worth of work into a 7 day stretch off lol but I think h managed it as well as took 5 clones off the candy kush during defoliation they are in rooting hormones and in peat pods in a craft show tent next to the cookies Kush clones we’ll see what survive and I’ll keep the 6 strongest and those will be my next run.. I’ll figure it out lol gotta get perpetual work bows the time to do it, one tent flipped, 2nd tent close, need to get some vegging clones going so we’ll see who’s strongest!

I think I’d like at least a month separation between these 2 tents so I can start vegging heavy for the big tent while that tent finishes a month earlier and I can dry and then veg in the smaller tent

Little bud porn from the last run

 

[Mikedin]

Plants are doing great today! Just ordered some flower fuel to give them some boost now that I’m getting ready to flip them, they are stretching out like crazy with the extra root room I’m shocked how fast they recovered and took off. Gotta go over the ent for the next week or so and block off any zipper light leaks (there’s a bunch) I plan to seal all the doors inside with gorilla tape expert the main door I use and I’ll drape a black sheet or tarp over that door. Gotta make up some kind of light diffusers for the bottom air inlets and then I’ll flip these girls too!, took 5 clones off the candy kush yesterday and they so far and perked up and doing great, also have 6 clones of the cookies Kush most seem to be doing great! So I’ll pick the strongest 6 and pot them in some seed starter soil, gunna set up the tents differently next run and plan for 4 plants in one tent and 2 plants in the blurple tent and start them about a month apart just like i currently am

Candy kush in the blurple tent currently about 14 days since flip to 12/12

I’m mainly feeding fry amendments but is there any recommended neuts I should add to the feeding regimen? Must be organic!

Not Gunna have no problem keeping RH low I never go over 30-33%RH at any time lol

Ok maybe it’s time to replace the bedroom homemade tent , bought the cheapest 4x4 I could find… I’ll have to make it work in the room, no biggie it’s a straight up bedroom for me when I work midnights so I don’t wake the wife and kids when I’m having a joint and beer at 7am

So I’ll figure it out but it’ll be nice to have a actual tent in there that I can walk into then I figured why not scrog it right? Single plant, just started flower, It’ll work lol, either way I’ll make a 4x4 on the next run no matter what lol,

Went as cheap as possible, the 2x KingLED 1500’s and spiderfarmer 4” exhaust from the current tent will be in there, have some moving around to do but might use the other tent for clones and early veg I’ll see what I can do, I can always live it to the crawlspace since it dosent needle a lot of height and I have 48” available in there and it’s a 40’x50’ crawlspace adjoining my basement all concrete it’s actually wide open and is part of my lung room for my main tent

40' x 50' wow too bad it's only 4' high.
You could grow a forest in that space.
If you need equipment @VIVOSUN has fantastic prices and you get a discount.
They ship overnight via zon.
And they have absolutely everything you can think of for growing.
Looks like the ladies are loving life.
Take care my friend.

Yeah the other side of the basement is full height I have a 20x10 back room, a 14x14 bedroom and then a 27ish foot by 16ish foot room with walk out doors to a lower deck that has steps to connect to the upper deck, right now that room is completely empty but is turning into an entertainment room so lots of room but that biggest room has a wood stove in it for when the temps really drop (I don’t run it until it’s below 0f) my furnace dosent run more than 1/2 hour a day if we forget to throw some logs in lol, the downstairs is basically heated by the exhaust from my tents lol

I probably don’t need to explain why it’s quite difficult to run a tent in that room with the wood stove lol I did that last year, which is why my tents are now in separate rooms lol

I couldn't imagine, must have been a nightmare.
Glad you have it sorted.
Sounds like a party place.
Hope you enjoy it.
Take care.
