Magic Beans' Pineapple Chunk Flo N Gro 9-Site in a 5x5 Tent - Lots of Light!

[Magic beans]

Hello fellow 420ans!

I am beginning my 3rd grow journal here at 420magazine. lets jump straight into the specs:

9 plants - Clones - Pineapple Chunk

in a 5x5 GrowLab grow tent

Flo N Gro hydroponic bucket setup with straight hydroton

FloraDuo A, B, Florablend, and KoolBloom (ThriveAlive B1 red formula for first 1-2 weeks) for Nutrients

Lights:
Veg: 600W Sun Pulse Metal Halide on Galaxy 600W electronic ballast
Flower: 600W Hortilux Eye HPS on same Galaxy ballast, 2x Advanced LED 180w Extreme Flower LEDs... maybe more! (HID lights are not being air cooled. If overheating becomes an issue, I will hook it up to my exhaust system, but I believe blowing a fan on it will be just fine for this grow. Plus I will benefit with a little extra light due to the removal of the glass. We'll see what happens!)

This will be the first grow journal I do start to finish. Usually I do just the flowering cycle, but this time I just had to do the whole thing! Today was transplant day. The younguns are loving their new home! I set them with a low dosage of ThriveAlive B1 red: the measurements are as follows:

DAY 1 VEG

temp: 79-80
rH: 45-55
ppm: 105
pH: 5.7

Here are some pics of the setup and the ladies in their first day in it:

WHEW! all this work is finally coming to an end. Time to go relax with a joint, and a little Black Ops.

@Closet Farmer: thanks. Gotta keep it tidy. A cluttered growroom is a cluttered mind right?

Yea i know hot temps suck. Well, for growing. I personally like 90+ weather but it seems like no matter how much ac you use its just not enough (sigh) thanks for tuning in!

Magic Beans.....beautiful work!

Wow! A chair with OMM on it!

Can't miss this! Looks great so far, and I realllllly gotta do that board thing you do to keep the tent from sucking in one of these days.

Nice and clean, and speaking of boards, I love how you use them for power strip, etc. Nice set-up. Can't wait to follow!

I thought I was the only one doing multiple grow journals at the same time. Now I have to sub to another one. Oh well, who needs sleep?

Got P.Chunk cooking too....Mine is nearing 2ft....time to pull clones.
Nice fast budz..... it's a breeze to work with.....pour on the nutes, it will only smile bigger
PEACE

 

[Chopper]

when you get rolling. CFLs are just dandy around the sides and bottoms. Inside I use about 1200wts around each....4, 300watt per .(N. S. E. W.)
(should read "have used" I don't do a bunch of indoors anymore)

 

[Magic beans]

Thanks for the advice chopper! And yea P chunk is such a friendly strain.

Honestly theyre not attached. They sit on the outside of the tent poles and the top and bottom poles keep them from being pulled inward by the tent.
