Hi all, Got a new setup that fits my new place better, I found a square meter of Homebox 2 meters high to be rather imposing and intruding in the room.. I bought a Lighthouse 0,5 Max which fits nice into a little alcove.
The tent material feels nice but hmm the corners leak light and the ziplock as well, with the ziplock it's because the fabric that is there to counter light leak has hundreds of tiny firm creases because of how it was folded in storage I guess that make for tiny openings, and the corners, well they need to up the stitching or change construction so that there is some overlay on the corners.
luckily somehow there were two strips of mylar supplied with my order, maybe as sample, maybe for filling the front corners, well that's what I used them for, at least a bit less leak.. and I gots an arty canvas over the rest of the tent, covering most of the ziplocked area.
I do like the measurements of the tent 50cm by 1m by 1,80m (although It's a few cm short of 1m) and the ins & outs of the tent.. I've put in a Ram 100mm mixed flow fan with a carbon filter with two pieces of acoustic ducting.
A little Ram oscillating fan and the Mars Hydro TS1000 led light, this will be my first led grow.
I'm still waiting on a couple of things to really have it all finished then I'll post pictures. I want two thermostat timers and a little frost heater so the fans & the heater regulate that it never goes below 22 or above 28.. should be doable since it is in a heated room. still winter is coming and at night it gets frisky. That half a square meter is gonna stay constant
Meanwhile the grow is underway, got two autoflowers in there in rather large airpots, and soil I seasoned with Zamnesia monster bud nutrition
They are a week old and I must say promising, the stem is only 3cm long but the wingspan on one of the plants is 10cm.. usually it's the other way around.. shooting up 10 cm with a few cm wingspan... I've got the light at 45cm.. humidity is low though in the room 31%, or either my meter is busted as well it's kinda wet outside.
Temp fluctuates between 26 and 28°c
I am thinking about low stress guiding them kinda circle them around the edge of the pot, so the side branches grow upward and at the end you let the artist formerly known as the main bud rise up.. as I would like to have an even low height canopy.
game on
