Romu's 4x8 Tent Grow

Romulanman · May 22, 2021

Dropped some new seeds in water today. 2 of each. All will be ok.

The last of the ILGM plants are in their 6th day of stretch. Seem to be loving the extra 260s. Gonna keep them after all. I should have just given them away but lesson learned. Worst case we make a shit ton of ice hash.

Day 93. I'm gonna be taking prob 1-2 of them down this weekend. They are limping along and have deteriorated pretty bad. Buds still look great tho. Leaves are dying off much faster than the others. Most of them will stay another week, hopefully two. Cant say I'll let them go longer than that. These buds are super dense too. The veg tent needs to be emptied.

Thanks bro. They looked better than they smoked unfortunately. I trimmed up and jarred the first plant today. It was the worst looking but best smelling and tasting. Idk what it was but it prob wasn't anything close to GDP or GSC.

Sometimes the ugly ones are really the beauties lol

All 8 popped and were planted. Had one of the DS x CTB actually sprout right out of the shell and fall to the bottom of the cup after 48 hrs. That was a first for me. I scooped it out with a pen cap so I wouldn't damage it. Hopefully it pops up or I'll have to start another.

All 8 seeds have popped up above the soil now. Two of them have some slight probs that I think they'll pull out of. I had to micro mange the seed hull and membrane on them to open up.

The flower tent is in its 12th day of stretch. Doesn't look like they will stretch too much more. I would welcome it tho. All look really healthy. Have cut the nutes back this round to avoid any N toxicity. Also bumping up the plain water intake.

I drilled 3 small holes on each end of the board and used heavy duty tie straps to connect it to the two vertical tent poles.. The wood was pretty light already so it holds really well. I was debating using some kind of poles but this worked much better.

Thanks i will try that mines like a jungle now and have the fan hanging upside down from the top poles, the way you have looks much more suitable for 8x4

Did some pruning under the canopy as I've seen this done a lot. Its technically my second time now with a net but the first time it was put up too late. Let the plant focus all of its energy on buds above the canopy is what I always read. Didn't take too long as I already had went about 1/4-1/3 lollipop when I transplanted. I will be installing the second layer of the net prob next weekend. Stretching has slowed almost to a stop and buy then it will have for sure. The first pic of the under canopy is from when I first transplanted. The other two are from today.
The two seedlings that were having trouble are both Nut Butter. They might pull out of it but they are pretty weird looking but I can tell they are still growing. I started two more just in case they get bigger in which case I'll just switch them out.

Romulanman · Jun 3, 2021

The seedlings are plugging along. The two Nut Butter are looking better and we'll see what they become. I did plant two more a couple days ago. One popped and the other didn't but I planted it anyways after about 48 hrs. The one that popped is just starting to peek it's shell thru the dirt.

Had to adjust some settings on my meters in the flower tent. Transitioning out of late veg and into early flower. Went a little cooler and took the RH down as well. Looks like they stretched a bit more cause one cola was getting rubbed by the fan. Didn't see in time so it got damaged. Tied that one and another branch back a bit out of the way. Everything looks good so far. I like this color as well. Prob gonna drop the nutes a lil more just to be safe. These are being fed at 700ish ppm with Maxibloom only. No more veg nutes now and no cal mag at all thru this entire grow. Definitely putting up the 2nd net tmrw and prob tie a few more branches out of the way.

Day 21 of 12/12. I trimmed a few leaves off that were covering bud sites. Not much other than that. They seem much stronger with less topping so I'm gonna see if we can get away with no second net. I'll prob change my mind next weekend tho.

Romulanman · Jun 16, 2021

Day 30 of 12/12. Buds are stacking up nicely. I can see more trichromes earlier than last round. Idk if this is from the far red or just having them in better health. Prob both. One plant in the front middle is having some probs. Not sure what it is. I cant get the old man to water specific plants with this or that so it is what it is. Still no net yet but I will need it. One branch is heavy leanin now.

Day 37 of 12/12.
I noticed that my far reds weren't even turning on this whole time. I kept telling the old man to set a timer to check but that was too much work lol. I was there on Sunday and realized I had a bad timer. Got it changed out so they are good to go now. I also think that the some of the plants are exhibiting cal/mag probs. Not sure if the old man is using cal/mag and maxibloom together but Ill have to do it myself for a few weeks to make sure it doesn't get any worse. I've been telling him to use 650ish ppm maxibloom and 100ppm of cal/mag. Well see what happens. These are all quite thirsty as I had to water them after work today. The usually get water on every 3rd day morning but couldn't do that with work. My parents lost their cat camping and now the old man is scrambling to find this cat at gas stations and rest stops :sad:

So I figure I need to hold things down for now. His head aint in the game now so tag me in and I'll see what I can fix or at least hold off.
The seedlings are plugging along as well. Prob a lil slow but I don't mind as they all have to wait for the flower tent. The extra 2 Nut Butter I popped are still going. One is freaking out just like the first 2 did. The other is fine tho. I don't believe in culling runts. I just let them grow to see what evolves. Might be my mix is too strong for these. I'm gonna add more strawberry fields to my ocean forest seedling mix.

That sucks about your dads cat. I hope he finds him. But is this your grow or your dads that you're taking care of? I'm confused.

Don't post in my journal. You clearly should know that.

Thanks bro. Better than last round but now instead of over fert, its prob under fert lol. Me too man.
They got that cat as a replacement to an older family cat who died of tumors. I loved that cat. Must have lived for like 12 years. I haven't been around this new cat as much. They got her from the SPCA and only has half a tail. Only had it a couple years and now that ones gone. He's driving down the highway to gas stations/rest stops like 4-5 hrs away looking for her. Asking people at gas stations to look on video. The old man is super bummed. She does have a chip but no collar. Hopefully someone catches her and turns her in.

Day 55

A lot of leaves still look terrible. Upped the feed and waiting. The buds look way better than last time. Much bigger and denser. Hardly any fluff. Finally had a piece snap off from the weight. Started to tie a few branches off. Its coming along but it could be much better.

Veg tent is slow. Had a small prob before transplant but they are doing well now. Will need to top pretty soon and start the cloning process. Haven't tried in years so we will see how it goes. I bought an aero cloner awhile ago and never used it. Last time i did use one it worked great tho.
