Moving Indoors: First Grow Inside

[Old Ron]

I started my first grow ever outside. When I wound up with 21 plants from the 20 seeds I dropped I figured at least half would be males and some of the twins will die. 6 weeks later I am scrambling to hide 21 plants on my deck and still get sun. So, I set up a grow room with used equipment I bought from Craigslist. Here is where my indoor grow starts.

I have a 4 x 8 and a 4 x 4 tent. I have moved all the plants (17) into the 4 x 8 tent. They are all Hawaiian Haze bag seeds. There are 15 females and 2 undecided yet. Almost all are in 3-gallon fabric pots with my own soil mixture. Flipped to a 12/12 schedule last Monday. I am running a 600 watt HPS and just added a 340 watt LED light yesterday.

Today 2 more ladies showed up. I have 20 females now out of 21 plants. I am going to pull one for a mother plant and start cutting clones. This will be the mother plant. She is enjoying some outside weather with 3 of her sisters

So the ladies are continuing to grow. The ladies are 10 days into the flip and growing nicely.

They are continuing to stretch. Had to have both lights raised.

Changed the tent up to be more efficient and to run cooler. Pruned a lot of the lower foliage to help with air flow. I do think the ladies like it better.

They are 14 days into the flip.

Added an HLG 550, I got off Craigslist for $250, to the 4 x 8 tent. With the 340 watt LED in there I added a few weeks back, the lighting for this tent is almost complete. They are 19 days into the flip.

The ladies are loving their new light and lower temps now. Day 26 from the flip. Figure another 6 to 7 weeks

The last of my Hawaiian Haze grow for this round is over. I have some clones in veg and flower right now. The mother plant got some spider mites from some purchased organic soil. Decided to just trash her. Was not going to deal with that problem, especially since I had no where to quarantine her. Some of the plants were good, not great. The last one was pretty damn amazing.
