Day 23 Update:
Getting ready for the move to the main tent. The PChunk is looking good, except for #3. It looks to be the runt of the litter. It has good roots showing out of the bottom of the pot but its obvious that its is smaller. Here are the update pictures. Not much interest in my grow, maybe when the buds start showing up.
Day 23 overview:
Plant 1:
Plant 2:
Plant 3, looks a bit stunted.
Plant 4:
Plant 5 looks to be the Queen!
Plant 6:
This is my main tent. In it I have a 1000W HPS with a variable ballast and two fluorescents. I used to have two blower fans, but to save electricity I am using only one by rerouting the exhaust fan through the filter and the light. I hope I can keep the temps down this way, I do have a portable AC unit I can hook up to the tent if need be. I will also be using CO2 on a timer. My Hydro system is from Greentrees Hydro, called the Multiflow System. It has worked flawlessly in my first two grows. This time I have changed it up a little. I installed a top feed fill system. I believe this system will be better as it will wash the salts down on the fill cycle. I am still planning to have a full flood cycle per a normal E&F system. I routed the feed lines in a loop hoping this would provide even flow through all the sprinklers and it did, my test of the system worked perfectly. Before starting I cleaned all the pots, and unhooked all the lines and ran hot water through them to clean them. I was surprised at how much junk had collected in the lines in just two grows.
The outer pot with the new sprinkler.
This is the controller box hooked up to the fill reservoir. It has a timer with 15 min increments. I feed three times a day.
This is the inside of the fill reservoir. It has the switches to control the fill level and contains the drain pump.
I use a 30 Gal Trash Can as the main Reservoir, this is the way I hooked up the feed lines with a tee so that it will feed evenly.
I'm thinking that in a week when the plants are around a foot tall, I will transplant the PChunk into the main tent. Then go to flower cycle.
I am also planning on trying a new method of building a trellis to support the buds. I plan on using anodized bailing wire. I will loop the wire on three sides of the tents on the poles, and at three different levels. Then as the plants grow I will attach new wires where ever needed to support the plants as they grow. I am hoping to avoid the jungle of wire ties I used to help hang them in the past like this. This is a picture from a previous grow.

vendors, can't remember which one. Really helps me keep the noise down. The fan only needs to work at 80% to service my small tent and at 80% its way quieter.
I got in a position to grow for a couple patients, who have managed to convince the powers that be that they need herb to survive. They're the ones who are always clamoring for it. The taste and smell is super dank and strong. It's a stretch to say that it smells or tastes like pineapple, but once in a while I can almost see how they came up with that. Possibly a very overripe and sweet fruity smell. It will definitely stink up your room with its crazy fumes. It's also very strong knock you on your ass kinda smoke.
