GreenThunder 4x4 Tent

[GreenThunder]

My tent was advertised as 4x4 and actually measures 4 feet and 7 inches on each side. Is this normal or did I get bonus space?

My first grow was a test and the mystery plant moved in just before she began to flower. She grew before I found a very helpful forum so everything was wrong. She had a small yield but I was hooked. My next batch was 3 plants.... 2 bag seeds and an auto. All were treated/fed the same, which I've since learned should not work. The auto, naturally, yielded half that of the others but it was sweet!!
The next batch was 2 clones from the previous batch, the sour diesel was just too good and I didn't have another seed. This batch was my first scrog and a great success!
Finally, my last batch was planned to be 4 and ended up to be 5 which is too many in that size space. I've set a limit of 3... which brings us to the current batch!

There are 2 that were recently move into the tent from the closet. They began under the qb and will finish under the HPS.

I'll have to upload pics and include some details later... time to head into the salt mines

People love pics....

I've never tried to grow photos and autos at the same time in a tent....I like the fact that I can run my lights 18/6 with autos and they respond well.

What was the brand of tent?

Sounds like you got a 5x5.

Sounds like you got a 5x5.

But wouldn't that be 60 inches? Mine is 55" and I do appreciate the little bit extra though in the beginning I thought 3x3 would be enough.

Pictures later, I promise... after work

Not necessarily no. I have two 4x4s neither of them are actually 4ft. They seem to design them to fit around the next size smaller table. My inside usable space measures 42" in one tent and 45" in the other. Of course mine are both cheap. Perhaps the more premium lines have different practices and give you a little extra room.

I don't remember the brand but it seems sturdy. It's accessible from both ends, has 'cinchable' holes for fans and power cords as well as a mesh window (down low, for air flow) and a vinyl window for peeking (both with velcro covers)

I had hoped to be able to keep a twin bed in the room for when my mom visits but she's stuck with the couch.

Inside the tent is a 1000 HPS on an adjustable ballast with a 6" inline for cooling and another for exhaust with a carbon filter.

Here's some shots of what's currently inside

For nutes I'm using the lucas method with GH micro and bloom, plus power si, cal mag, and liquid karma; coco in smart pots.

They will soon be joined by this little Laughing Buddha

This will be my last batch in coco, provided I can get the hang of hydro.

Sounds more like a 3x3 with a few extra inches. I'd have been more upset if it was smaller than expected rather than bigger. I almost wish we could trade. Almost

Here's my Psycho clone around 40 days in flower (51 days since 12/12 switch)

 

[GreenThunder]

Grape Ape is on trich watch with at least a week - 10 days or more remaining. I like to get an early look because it helps me recognize the change better. Being indica dominate, I don't want to let her get much amber

 

[GreenThunder]

Here are some pics taken just now (a lightening storm during lights out)

 

[GreenThunder]

Grape Ape got harvested last night. The cola was 49g; I'll post total weight after I plug the numbers into excel.

When I super cropped the cola branch I was a little too aggressive (and a bit late in the growth, I think) so I had wrapped it with electrical tape. When that was removed I discovered this strange white growth

 

[GreenThunder]

The remaining occupants...

Psycho clone, about 2 weeks or so until harvest

And Laughing Buddha, about 30 days in flower

This girl wants to be TALLL!! It’s been a challenge to keep her from reaching the light. Scrog is a must for this one!! I’ve tied her this way and that, even super cropped a branch more than 90° and the end just popped back up! I think (hope) the stretch is over and she’ll be content to plump up

 

[GreenThunder]

Decided not to wait the 10 days and started harvesting Psycho clone Agnes. Yesterday we trimmed 630g buds and 87g popcorn. Today I trimmed another 151g buds and 68g popcorn.

That's my shiny face behind Agnes

We had to cut a bunch of branches before we could extract her from the scrog and the tent. This is what she looked like after removing 630g!

Laughing Buddha is 57 days in flower. She's got company.... a couple super heroes have dropped in!

I've been making dry rub kief with my trim and larf. My screen is 125 microns and I want to get a replacement before it's needed (unusual preplanning on my part) But I'm confused by the numbers.... is 220 a finer screen than 150 or do I have it backward?

 

[GreenThunder]

Laughing Buddha at 70 days since flip. This is the main cola, it took at least 3 bends to keep it under 5 feet. I do believe it could have been 7 feet or taller

220 is typical work bag and the largest. 25 is finest
