4 Grand Daddy Purple @ 250 Watts & 2ft x 2ft x 5ft Tent

[Highashell]

Welcome to my 2nd Grow Journal. I will be growing for a 2nd time in the 2ft x 2ft x 5ft Secret Jardin DR60 Tent. This time though will be growing one strain and 4 plants with no plans of making seeds. The plants are between 2-3 months old but are small because they were trimmed and topped while kept under T5/T8 lights inside a 4ft wide, 5 wire shelving unit with wheels and some white poly reflective film. It's almost as good as a tent that is 1.5ft deep x 4ft wide x 3ft high. I'm going to focus just on the 2ft x 2ft x 5ft Tent with pictures in this journal this time, although I may eventually want to do simultaneous journals; one for the T5/T8 area where I have started seedlings, and the other is this Journal with the 4 GDP's in the tent currently. Now for the major details.


GDP-GRAND DADDY PURPLE (in 3 Gal Pot)
1st GDP was started from Clone on Jan 4th in rock wool 1.5 inch starter cube and a Miracle Gro perlite filled 18 oz cup, roots were nice and white, visible Jan 17th
Feb 5th transplanted into 1 Gal Rootmaker Pot.
April 7th, Transplanted into 3 Gal Rootmaker Pot.

GDP-GRAND DADDY PURPLE (3 GDP in 1 Gal Pots in tent)
GDP started from Clone on Jan 21 in 18 oz cups.
Feb 17th, Transplanted 4 of 4 into 32 oz cups.
April 6th Transplanted 3 of 4 into 1 Gal Pots.
Last GDP still in 32 oz cup -keeping as mother for making clones in the future.

Summary:
I have 5 GDP's, 4 in the 2ft x 2ft x 5ft tent under HID, and one under T8 in the 1.5 ft x 4 ft x 3 ft "poly tent" as a backup clone/mother in 32 oz cup to be transplanted into 1 Gal pot later since it is the smaller of the clones.

Nice setup, good choice in equipment. I like your pots too, root maker pots ftw

This can go into the abandoned journals section. I didn't finish this grow.
