Prof's Lab
Welcome one and all to my latest adventure here at 420magazine. As the title suggests I shall be working from my bedroom and trying to do the best we can with what we have available to us. Since my last thread we have lost the grow room and needed somewhere to produce some decent meds. The old grow room is now my daughters first bedroom so we shall be using a walk-in closet which I have managed to squeeze 3 grow tents and all of my equipment into. It's certainly cosy but it will do just fine. This downsizing couldn't have come at a better time as now the world struggles with the coronavirus and many people have been put out of work. Myself and everyone else in our family are out of work and nobody knows how long for. I must save every penny we have so there will be almost zero expenditure on the grows for the foreseeable future.
I have had to adapt to the new environment and one of the biggest differences will be controlling the heat. Unlike in my previous grow room I can't vent out of a window in the closet so I have had to downgrade and use lower wattage lighting. Before I was running 3 tents and a cupboard and was using 1600w total. I've knocked that down to just 400w across 3 tents which is a huge saving. Question is, will it be worth it? We have a tiny 40cm x 40cm veg tent which will be using a 100w 7000k floodlight. Personally I think we could get lower wattage lights in there but we must make do with this one for now. There ain't no cash for splashing out on the grow room at the moment and it doesn't look like things will change for a little while yet. Food is where my money is currently going. The second tent is 60cm x 80cm and will be used for flowering and autos though obviously not at the same time. That tent has a 100w QB style LED unit and will hopefully be able to cover the area sufficiently. The third and final tent is a 120cm x 60cm closet, wide style tent. This tent is also for flowering and will contain the photoperiods. For this one we have 2x 100w 3200k COB LED's for the plants to bath under.
Well that's some of my motives and some info on the environment out of the way. Now for some info on the plants and what is happening and has happened so far.
In tent 1 we have some bonsai mother plants. More on those in a moment but as you can see, they are not in a tent. I forgot to take pics of them in the tent. I'll get the hang of it one day....
In the second tent we have 10 flowering plants in a single pot. Nothing to see here....
The third and final tent contains the recently revived veg plants who's destined futures have changed so many times now that it's hard to remember how we got to this stage. We are here though so I will do a run down on each in the next post. These are currently on flowering day 2....
Next we will take a look at the plants individually to see what fire we are messing with.....
