hello everyoneI finally splurged and got everything to grow after researching for a long time and waiting for the right moment, well here it is.
I am growing inside of a 2x2x4 mylar grow tent. Hanging down off the top cross bars are 2 pulleys fed through cuts i made in the reflective hood, the pulleys then attach to a plank of wood. On that plank are 2 extension cords secured with zip-ties. one extension cord is daisy chained to the other so i would not have to take up another slot in the 1 outlet I have to utilize. As far as bulbs go, I am using 4, red spectrum 2700k lumen 42w bulbs and 4, blue spectrum 6500k lumen 32w bulbs. I do have 4 extra 2700k lumen bulbs, ready to be hooked in there in case I feel she will need more light. My plant sits inside of a 3-gallon smart pot and is planted in Fox Farms ocean forest mixed with extra perlite. I do have Fox Farms Grow Big and Tiger Bloom for when she gets bigger and sucks more nutrients out of her soil. I have a small oscillating fan inside usb connected to my laptop as i do not have a USB adapter to go into a wall outlet. This fan is not very powerful but it does the job and makes her wiggle around as well as circulating the air and heat being given off by the bulbs. I also have 2 duct fans ready to be installed for controlled airflow and a carbon filter to eventually be hooked up but i currently can not afford these so I am keeping the top vent wide open and also the side vent wide open. If the humidity levels get too high i do put a duct fan in the top to cycle out the air and get some fresh air in there. I usually leave the tent door cracked so fresh air can creep in that way. The other day i even added a makeshift co2 generator with yeast, sugar, and water to add some extra co2 to the tent. My Heavyweight fruit punch auto has been out of the soil for 8 days so far to give you guys an idea of where her growth is at and has been running at a 20-4 light cycle with an automatic timer. I hope you guys enjoy my journal and I will keep you all updated!
