Hello everyone and welcome to this journal.

This will be documenting the plants growing in my 4' X 4' grow tent. This will be an ongoing journal, so only constant will be set up of light/tent. Here is that set up, pretty simple nothing like CO2, yet.

4' X 4' Gorilla Grow tent, 7' tall (the 1' extender was like 1" to long for my ceiling :()
Top LED Mars II 240X5W(1200W) LED light. Actual draw is on order of ~450-500 I think.
6" Exhaust fan, controlled by variable speed/temp controller, set to go on high at 82F
12" Tabletop fan for circulation

Here are some pics of equipment:

To start this journal I have 8 plants going into their first day of 12/12.

My soil mix is one bale of Pro-mix with one bag of Ancient Forest.

1 Brainstorm clone in 3 gallon pot, been growing this strain for last 6 mos, sensitive to ferts, but has a great smell. May not continue with strain long term. Using General Organics (GO) nutes in soil

1 Hawaiian Snow clone in GH Waterfarm module(my first attempt at hydro). I will keep this strain, got some more phenos coming, but this one is for sure nice.

2 Each of Choco Chunk(clone from local grower), Super cheese (clones from free seed) and Double Berry(clones from free seed) Each of these have one in 5 gallon nursery pot and 5 gallon airpot using GO nutes in soil. This is a test to see if airpot any different in health of plants/buds.

The sheen you see on some leaves is the remains of Might Wash treatment gave them yeasterday. This plants showing no signs of mites, but it been an ongoing thing for me so this is preventative, I spraying all my plants down as they go into flower. I am not doing any training on these ladies. Seeing how grow au natural. I will trim lower branches/fans blocking bud sites though as stretch goes on.

Here is the full tent with plants, going to be crowded in here.

You are first Mr. RL!

You even beat me to my first order of business, changing the res water on Waterfarm.

Went to transition stage week 4 GH Flora fert schedule. Got some nice roots starting, hope they stay this white.

Any hydro experts know if it bad for my roots to be hanging in air/laying on bottom of a pot i put medium container in while I dump and refill/add ferts to reservoir?
 
Subscribed. :ganjamon:

Definitely a penetration test - those suckers are filled in wall to wall.

LOL yea I need to cut down on my plant counts, like 1 big ass plant in this tent. But it so hard to chop any of them down :(

My eventual plan is to find my strains and grow 1 or 2 big plants in this tent at a time.

Down the road you might try something like KoolKat's hempy SOG. He grew in cut-off 2-liter Pepsi bottles and had one big bud per plant going straight up. Got a bunch of them together and they didn't take up as much space as you'd think. I'm probably going to take a stab at that a couple of grows from now.
