I'm pumped to see that scrog fill out! I feel like it won't be long until pretty much the whole thing is quite literally a screen of green .

Yeah it should fill out pretty well.. I already have plenty of branches starting to fill it out that have tons of new growth that will surely stretch out during 12/12 as well as the lower branches that should shoot right up... hopefully Ill get close to what I was aiming for scrog wise and fill it up with a good bit of tops.. Im constantly defoliating though thats for sure lol dozens of leaves every few days... they just get to damn bushy im not going to defoliate anything else until another 7-10 days right before stretch ends.

Hell looks like a nice little setup... I still wouldnt try DWC myself lol maybe coco but im still liking my fox farms... but definitely message me if you have any questions and ill give you advice when I can...


Heres the pics to my first grow before chopping them all down since they were all male sadly...

Hell my first grow was 4 bagseeds... one I veg'd for over three months... it was pretty nutrient burnt throughout most of veg but by 12/12 I had them all looking pretty healthy... every single one was male... I was pissed lol I had almost quit but I had happened to of purchased my first LED a week or two before... so thats the only reason I had bought fem seeds and tried again... took me a while to get dope but thankfully that second grow went great and I coasted straight to harvest...a QP off of two plants under a mars hydro 300 and 3 CFL. The special queen and a bagseed

Here is the special queen from my first harvest

the special queen gave me 65G LST only she was definitely quality smoke

Here is the bagseed

the bagseeds small ass gave me an astounding 50-55G from that plant lol I was ecstatic that was the first time id had buds that large she was extremely small when I flipped and I was expecting 15-20 grams MAX so that was a nice surprise lol... the two tops were 10 grams a piece and the two under that 7.5G a piece plus some popcorn underneath... It wasnt as potent as my SQ but it was still perfectly acceptable.

Yep ill definitely help you out.. just like cloning a lot of people think you need to spend money and have experience but in reality all you need are 5$ in jiffy pellets or rapid rooters and a CFL bulb or two... plus tap water but thats it I dont even use a humidity dome when cloning nor a mister usually.

But yeah once you get good strains I mean you only have to buy the beans once because you can always take 10-15 cuttings off of the plants before you flip to 12/12 and clone them so they are already a good bit into veg by harvest so you cut the time between harvests down by at least half.

Whats that?


And yeah man trust me I read a shitload of journals and articles on google and watched tons of youtube videos so I could start to understand why I was doing what I was doing... you can always follow a journal and mimic it but you really need to know why you are doing what or else when something bad happens its extremely difficult to fix. So asking questions starting a journal and scrolling through the plant diagnosis sections of forums to see how people fix what and whatnot..

I have a 2x2x4 tent with a 4 or 6 inch inline fan with a speed controller..with no access to good air i cut a hole in floor put a little screen over it and couldnt figure out should i exhaust air out that hole or pull in air from outdoors under my house...its cool air full of co2 but everybody says you want that negative air pressure with the tent sucked in slightly rather than the tent expanding like a balloon. The plants seem to love the ourside air quite a bit but i have it exhausting air from inside tent through filter fan and ducting to outside instead of pulling in air currently sucking air from air conditioned besroom tent in the closet...they seem to be doi g ok i guess but coukdnt really find an answer i was looking for

Uh so do you have a vent towards the top of the tent?

You want an exhaust system for sure and you dont have to push air into the tent when you have enough negative pressure because naturally the air gets forced into the tent due to the force of the exhaust.. its called a passive intake. Ideally youll want to run ducting from somewhere high up in the tent and connect that ducting to your inline fan which I would just keep next to the tent outside of it... then on the other side of the inline fan you want to connect some more ducting and vent it out a window or into another room if possible.

Hopefully that makes sense if not let me know and maybe I can link you to a video off of youtube explaining it better sometime If I can find a good one.

Okay you mean you cut a hole in your homes floor? Or the tents floor? If you mean the homes floor yes exhaust out of that... but if you live near someone you may want a carbon filter to eliminate smell.

Here's the girl that's taking up the 4x2 right now.. also have a small bagseed in there... I harvested my second large plant a few weeks back so this girl is getting both lights for half of bloom. When I switch it over to veg I'll just be manually loving the flowering bagseed clone in and out of the tent for the few weeks I have to veg in it... no big deal.

want 100 off of her would like a QP. Just gotta wait and see.. she's going to be my largest yielder yet though.

Those plants just look like someome poured sugar on them...i like the dark trichs...that couchlock feeling at night and the cloudy trichs energetic kick to start the day beautiful plants man

Thanks she was damn nice lol she ended up giving me 128 grams dried and cured.

I definitely get the negative passive intake rhing currently i just have it sucking air out of tent blowing outdoors and have vents on tent opened up at floor so yea its pulling any heat and stale air out appreciate your time advice and patience bro keep growing

 

[redmud]

Thanks and Ill let you know how I like the bags.. they are a bit to big for my grow as the bastards can hold 7 gallons of soil so I probably wont be using them again... however they are only 50 cents each and they are appearing to do the job.

I used them once they work great!

 

[LedGuy74]

Checked out my small grow and whats the first thing I see? A damn stink bug munching on my leaves... carefully got that bastard with some pliers and tossed it down the drain... sure a couple of my leaves are gonna smell like shit a couple days lol
