Urgent help! Micro grow, tents and lights

[spliffas]

It would be for me. As in all things, "YMMV."

if possible SCROG then may be possible with LST as I never did SCROG before? Don't forget goal - 100g dried. With some improvements, etc. My biggest concern is how LED reacts if the tops are near...

I can do 3 plants or 2, but I think that autos aren't very tall + 4 plants 100prc would fill my growing space...

Still need some more opinions / info if I should start that impossible thing.

I reckon nearly an oz a plant in that space would be an epic achievement.

let's wait what others says and I may start doing this crazy thing in that space. Or I may choose that tall one. if it's too risky / not worth wasting time.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Smaller pots = smaller plants, but also smaller yields. If you get an indica dominant auto then it should grow shorter. I read an article on pot sizes and plant height. Believe 3L for up to 30cm, 5L for up to 60cm.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Will you also need odour control? Hopefully some of the experts will chip in for you soon. One experienced grower reckoned I should be able to get 50g with 2 plants out of my cabinet which is a similar size. Good luck to you anyway. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how you get on. Hope you can pull it off.

 

[spliffas]

Yes yes waiting for more please people help!

 

[spliffas]

Anyone?

 

[bluenoserjoe]

Anyone?

Maybe not too much help but my 450watt LED would burn the tops at 18".

450W true watts?

 

[bluenoserjoe]

450W true watts?

No 219 from the wall.

 

[spliffas]

No 219 from the wall.

100W should stay away 10 inches? No, I can't keep those plants 10cm tall...

 

[bluenoserjoe]

Maybe. It will help to keep the air moving so the plants are doing a little dance.

 

[425jesse]

Interesting...

 

[spliffas]

Still no answer for me

 

[425jesse]

this will be a fun one, lol.

My suggestions...
1. Don’t grow an auto here.
2. Grow one plant at time, and make sure it’s indica
3. Use a low wide fabric pot
4. Top when you have 2 solid nodes, and LST/HST the branches into a quad line.
5. You may want to try to use T5s for your grow, 4000k for veg and 2700k for flower. These lights are skinny and don’t make much heat (I have never flowered under T5, but it can be done. I’ve read of people using 3000k the whole way also)
6. Make sure to have a small oscillating fan to keep the plant moving so it builds strength from the beginning

This is a photo of my 60 deep, 90 wide, 60 tall clone booth. I took these clones too early, and now will try to flower in that small space. Plants will Stuck in there until my SOG booth opens up, which will be 35ish days into flower. The second photo is my SOG booth, it’s 60 deep, 90 wide and 120 tall. With ventilation I run a 150w HID in there and it’s happy. The flowers on that gorilla will have plenty space to develop and become some great smoke!

Anyways, good luck, and green thumbs!

Cheers.

I believe I could go 12/12 from seed, and with 2-4 plants under T5s... Lacks of power, etc...

Wanted to do with LEDs, but if it's gonna be more pain in the ass than something good, then...

Should I consider doing another lighting, not autos, basically change the whole game, or just change the tent 50x50x100?

btw what lamps do you run in Your clone room?

My concern about LED is burning your plants. LEDs are strong, and cheap ones can be dangerous to your plants as they kind of perform all over the place.

Your best bet is to go with a taller tent, it will literally double your chance at success, and could triple your yield. I expect to get 100 grams or more out of that taller booth in one grow.

If you went taller booth, got yourself one of the Mars or growant lights a fan and some basic ferts, you will knock the autos out of the park!

now this one helped! Probably will go with metre tent. Choosing between MARS ECO 300 MARS 2 HYDRO 300 or VIPARSPECTRA W300 or R300. Could even get MARS REFLECTOR 240.

price is the same.

 

[spliffas]

They say that VIPARSPECTRA 300 replaces 250 HID when MARS ECO replaces 150 HID. Both are same price, now viparcpectra on ebay for 64pounds. what do u think: VIPARSPECTRA R300 300W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum for Indoor Plants ON and OFF | eBay

?? Need to order something ASAP!!!

leaning to that vipraspectra... what do u people think?

 

[425jesse]

The vipar will do well for you in the taller tent.
