......................................................

Using a 2x2x5.3ft growlab tent, with a 171 CFM inline fan, and a 200CFM phresh filter. Running the air through the carbon filter, into the hood (sealed with foil tape), then into the inline fan and out the tent. Also have a 6 inch clip on fan for air curculation

Just put the ladies into flower after 35 days of veg

Started in party cups, after a little over two weeks transplanted to 3.5 gals. Fox Farms Ocean Forest the entire way.

Started with GE MH bulb, that blew out 14 days later Upgraded to Hortilux Blue MH for another 20 days of veg, love that bulb.

Also purchased a hortilux super HPS.

Tangerine Dream won Cannabis Cup this recent year, it smells great. I hope it performs well.

I'm worried about the sativa pheno in the back, I snapped a branch like 4 days ago I think it will be okay though... Don't want any hermies I'm wondering how the thing will grow LOL






+sub now!

Welcome friends, lets catch up

That is superb, I was wondering something because i'm half newbie to growing but did you top those when you transplanted them? and why do you have them tied down?

It's called lst (low stress training) it maximizes your yield per plant. So id you have only a limited amount of plants per patient then you can get more from one. Is a greet technique. Check it out.

I topped them, gave them a few days to recover, then transplanted... some people said I did everything too early, but hey.. were here now whats the problem? It works for me

Thanks dude! I recently found out tape is cool to use on the plants for snaps... did some rollitup googling.. I thought adhesive would be bad but hey apparently it's cool. I used masking tape and wrapped up the joint, ill replace the tape every few days but the branch seems to have liked the new brace... I was using string before!

even tops coming in!

top down

They are loving the extra lumens


For you folks out there... day 2

this is going to be some quality medication

I'm hoping a lot they already smellllll by day 3.. like straight tangerines! best weed I've ever smelled hands down.

I'll have some pics up tomorrow or tonight, they are beginning their stretch

They are loving the extra lumens on the HPS though they are flourishing


Just watered them, and tied down a few branches.. trained a few others, and tucked all the big fan leaves down to expose the tops..

I just bought the same tent. I'm still vegging 3 AI's under cfls.
I wonder if a 450w HPS would be ok with sufficient ventilation?

Day 3 for you fellas... snapped some really cool shots. They just got watered like 6 hours ago, so they are happy campers



Lately, I've been working on evening out the canopy.. That work is starting to come out... Like screen of green without the screen. I tuck fan leaves in to evenly expose tops so I can keep the light as close as possible to ALL tops!


Anyway, here we go.


Day 3 tangerine dream:

Nice and even canopy, ready to pump out flowers.

Branching; you can see how the node space gets tighter and tighter, they started growing reall tight when I tied them down the first time, and dropped the light like 4 inches. That's what were shooting for.

I had to do some serious bending on the indica! The main branch looks like a lower case b. I'm starting to wonder if it really even IS indica, the leaves look indica, but the branching looks like sativa.

Tight node spacing on #1

Reallllly digging the HID lights. Love the penetration, I bent some side branching down so you guys can see... See the foliage growing healthy like 3-5 inches under the top? Thats why I keep the hood as low as possible and the canopy as even as possible, so I can bring the level of penetration down down into the plant, to light up the NEXT set of branches coming in! Oh yeahhh

For real!

I haven't been able to find any similar, BASIC setups on Rollitup.org

thanks for the comments about the canopy and light too, I work hard on it and I don't hear much in the way of comments, well except on this journal now


That carbon filter is doing work! Lights/vents shut off 6 minutes ago and I already smell the plants! oh barneys farm, thank you
