The 4x4 Grow Tent Club

I do have damp patches in the floor, concerns me.

Nice. I think I have one or two dry patches on my basement floor. Small ones, nowhere near the nice pattern of cracks where water pressure once burst the concrete. Got a sump pit large enough to hide in that fills up (from water underneath, NOT water draining into it from the basement) almost once per hour during drought conditions and twice as often otherwise. So much water on a daily basis that I've wondered if it would be safe to water plants (both cannabis and food-crop type) with it. But I'm concerned about the (high) possibility of microbial life. Every time I get close to deciding it'll probably be okay, another produce recall hits the airwaves because some immigrant farm laborer decided to crap near one of the fields or something - and I live "in town," surrounded by other residences, and the often decrepit individual sewer lines from the houses to the mains are probably in far better shape than those mains (which are up to 150 years old!), and which may or may not pass under my property (property lines - and even roadways - have changed a good bit since the 1800s :rolleyes: ).
 
Update: Day 42
Untie, trim and retie

Last week: Day 35

Last night just before lights on

This morning prior to day 42 trimming.

As I trimmed each branch, would untie, trim and when I finished a branch I would turn it out of the way counter clockwise.

Monster Trunk.

Everything laying down and untied. This was the last of the work as the light just went out, so I got about half of the trim work done this morning, will finished tonight. Have the interior fan on high blowing over the plant laying down so should not have any humidity issues.

Frosty goodness

This was the third time after cleaning fingers twice before. Alcohol and Dawn detergent to get that stuff off. This last cleaning I scraped them and got some sticky hash. Should have been doing it all along would have gotten a nice size ball of hash.

Adjusted and added watering times, 7 cycles per nights, First at 9 PM is 2 minute to get some DTW, last 7:15 AM is 3 minutes, this give me 30% plus DTW. The remainder of the cycles are 45 seconds each. Will see how this goes and adjust as needed.

If you use disposable gloves, you can throw them in the freezer.
 
Update:
Day 49

Kind of boring here right now, just watching them fatten. Am getting a bit of tip burn, not sure what is causing it. Have been running at 1.2 to 1.3 EC and pH may fluctuate between 5.8 and 6.0. Could it be build up in the root zone, lights too close 16" or just plain ol' what the hell? :)

This week in pics.

















Good news is I am getting some rain, first in over a month. My water buckets are filling and I will be able to get all my 1 gallon and 5 gallon containers filled. Need to get an RO filter, but cannot figure out which one will be the best for me.

Current grow @ day 65. They have been fattening up a bit since I started flushing. Originally planned to take them @ 70days but may end up letting them go a bit longer.




It's a good thing I'm getting close to harvest, down to my last bud. Anyone else like to save their favorite till the end? Its from the purple cookies I posted awhile back.

Sugar and dish soap works well. Little handful of sugar and a squirt of dish soap. I learned thats basically what that stuff is they use at the police station to get your hands super clean before taking your fingerprints... apparently ;) lol

Nice one. I made the same decision. Thought they were pretty much ready. Gave em their last feed and they suddenly bulked again over night lol. Still got a week left in her I think.
 









This is whats cracking in my 4x4.
Gypsy haze is eating like a pig and strong as ever. Lemon skunk I reckon is gonna be my big yielder and the critical is starting to go quite dark radiating from the bud outwards, cant wait to see how she ends up.

I too have noticed that since I started flushing with pH'ed rain water, Cal/Magic and Epsom, that the lady has a burst of growth.
I feared lockout when while running at 1.1 to 1.3 EC and began getting tip burn. I have not checked the run off except just now after a few days of flush.
My flush consist of, when the rez ran low on Saturday night I added 10 gallons of rain water, 1 ml of Cal/Magic and 0.75 grams of Epsom. I am running 6 cycles a night (30 seconds to 1.5 minutes) and the last cycle at 7 AM I do a manual run of 4 minutes.
 
Love the setups guys , it is incredible what you can do in such small spaces , here is my setup , even being so simple I still get a good yield . I have change the light cycle to 12 / 12 a week ago and hoping for good things to come .


Current setup !

Update:
Day 56 harvest sometime this week. .

I started flush on Saturday, adding 10 gallons of pH'e rain water, Cal/Magic and Epsom. Running 6 cycles a night and the last cycle is manual for 4 to 5 minutes. EC of flush water is < 0.4 and around 6 gallons pass through the pot a day.
Since I started the flush I have noticed a burst of growth on all buds. I am thinking I got a little lockout, the tips of the leaves started browning and turning up. I never check the runoff in my catch basin but it must of been high. Thinking I was not getting enough runoff with each irrigation cycle.

Last week Day 49

Thanks bud,

My guesstiment looking at the plant and feeling the buds is between 0.75 and 1 G/W. I hope I am wrong in the low direction, would like to get at least 20 or so zips, 16 for making oil and a few to smoke.

By the looks of it, you're right on the mark. Let us know.
