You should be able to pull 2oz per plant. I got lucky I think ,and got about 2.5oz per plant in almost the same size tent (mine was 6.5 feet tall). Looks good keep it up!!:thumb:

That's the one I'm getting 4x4x6.5
 
I always plant in a clear solo then put that inside a red solo cup, that way you can slide the clear cup out of the red solo to inspect the root growth. Especially with clones, thinking they are rooting and they are not kinda of sucks, take a lot of the guessing out of it.
 
Well today is going to be a big day. I'm getting a ton of stuff delivered today!

-4x4x7 tent
-An additional 600w MH/HPS light air-cooled
-ppm meter. No idea when is good for going in and run off. Will have to look it up.
- A tripod for my time lapse camera

I'll post pictures when I get everything setup. Just dont know when I can start increasing the wattage on the lights. They are both dimmable so I can run 300 watts all the way up to 1200. They seem happy as a clam now and it doesn't seem necessary right now but with a SCROG I want the light to penetrate further.

Any and all advice would be awesome! Will have more later.

Also, anyone know where I can kind some purple voodoo or cotton candy? Was thinking if all else fails I could breed some purple kush with some regular voodoo. Just an idea.
 
Last night I pulled out my 4x2 tent. I am more than likely going to use it as a veg tent or do clones. So we put together our new 4x4 tent. This thing is awesome. it went together really easy. Got another 600w HID and put it in the tent also. I saw why not? 1200w is a lot of light let me tell you. I turned it down so they are not getting hammered with light right now.

Also transplanted Betty and Ethel. The 2 seeds I planted late to make up for the failed bag seeds. Everyone is in 1 gallon pots currently. From what I could see, everyone is happy. The bag seeds on the other hand will be replaced here shortly. I know they could still make it probably but the chances of being female is slim with the major stress they had and they don't look like there younger sisters...not even close as far as healthy looking. But I placed an order with Herbies just over 2 weeks ago and I am hoping for it anyday now...hopefully. I have 6 different strains coming including the freebies. So I will more than likely do 2 kinds to replace the bag seeds.

Also got a ppm meter. My tap water has a ppm of 232ppm. Then when I transplanted this morning I added some mycomadness and it raised the ppm to 375ppm. Kinda cool. A light meter will be my next gadget for this hobby/fascination.


But they are looking wonderful and growing extremely well. Oh I will say, this week mark half strength nutes...not for the young ones.

These girls are excited to be growing. I'm extremely happy with extra room. Just setup the time lapse in a better location. I wanted to start the rendering process for last week and I guess it didn't take any pictures. It was giving the visual cue that it was but wasn't. So I got it back going again...hopefully. My seeds didn't show up today. DANG. Just have some pineapple chunk (indica) and fruit punch (sativa) I want to get going.
 
Lucky you with the extra grow space. I am currently in negotiations with my wife for more space to grow :-). I actually plan on trying my hand pineapple chunk soon, but have never heard of fruit punch. Sounds delicious! Your time lapse videos are gonna be awesome to watch and I look forward to seeing them as they are posted. Take care and keep doing what your doing! Peace

It was awesome she asked me if I wanted more space and said happy valentine's day lol. But I do believe she wants the other tent for the time being to grow vegetables until our green house gets fixed. We have 2 broken windows in the ceiling of it and no one will fix it until it warms up.
 
Re: 600 Watt MH - 4x2x5 Tent - Soil - Bag Seeds & Purple Kush Fem - 1st Grow

Just a quick update.

Added an oscillating fan. Got an analog hygrometer. Made a little co2 generator. I need some more tubing but will get that tomorrow. Also can't get my humidity up and keep it up. So frustrating.

Oh we also picked us some garlic seeds. Saw they are a natural pest deterant. So I'm going to plant one or two.
 
What up nismo12!! Man new tent new lights=more fun!!! Congradulations on stepping your game up everything looks great!! We have the same tent however when i look at yours in seems you could fit a small living room set in yours!! Im glad you like the tent, for the price i think its pretty bad ass lets just hope we feel the same way in six months lol. I like the time lapse, i tried with a $2 app for my tablet needless to say it was crap, it only recorded for a hour!! What the hell i could stand there and blink real fast for a hour!! I think watching your plants like that will give us a better understanding on how our plants react to differents things and changes, im looking forward to your videos. Well nismo i have a feeling your going to be doing some fun and cool things in the future and im glad to be around in the begining!! Lets hope you have some mail today right!!!

I always had success spraying the walls of my tent with ice water to start the day and get my humidifier running a half hour before my lights come on to help my temp and humidity. I'm new here but it worked for me :-)
 
I have the humidifier turn on 45 mins early to get it up initially. But the fan when it kicks on sucks it out fast. I also spray the walls down a couple times a day. The only thing I can do next is have an intake fan sucking air from outside. It was 90% humidity outside this morning. So that'll be my next resort if all else fails.

Subbed up, will have to catch up on the journal but your set up looks good :thumb:
PK can be finicky (at least for me) but I love the purple bud!!! I had so many up n downs with my PK but so close to the end now.
