Re: THC Bomb, 1kW MH/HPS air-cooled, Oxyponics Pro Six, 5x5 indoor
I'm leaning towards the idea of keeping a mother plant. Then I'll always be able to take clones two weeks before harvest, and they'll be ready for the grow/bloom room on time. Maybe I really CAN have a perpetual grow!
I already have a tall 3'x3' tent.
A 5 gallon bubbler bucket is now on my list, and I'll want a 4" filter + fan for odor control.
What kind of light should I use? Maybe a 400w air-cooled MH (would that even fit)? Would CFL's be enough? I'd like to keep my electric bill as low as possible without neglecting the mother plant's needs.

Subscribed. Are you misting your plants?

Only misting before taking pictures. Humidity around 80% inside tent.

Cool setup Gardener. I'll be watching this close. I'm only on my 4th grow so I'm also looking FWD to doing better this next go round. I really like the setup in your tent.
Best of luck on your grow

Cannabis does not require misting. I would stop misting your cannabis plants as water droplets can magnify the light and burn your leaves. You want 70°-90° Fahrenheit and 50%-70% humidity for vegetative growth and 30%-50% humidity for flowering.

Okay, no more misting. The rH has been around 80%, so I've opened a side vent to let out humidity. Temps 80°F.

Do you plan to use any sort of SCROG screen and spread the plants out horizontally?

You must have read my mind. I've spent the last hour or so looking online for plant stands (a couple inch rise to aid with draining the grow sites during flush/fill) and tomato cages. I already have a roll of 3" wire mesh. I've been considering making some porta-scrogs.
I've only grown once before and I didn't use any screens, wires, stakes or anything. The light penetration to the lower branches was minimal, as was their growth.
I really need to (re-)read up on the scrog method. Basically, it's just training each branch into it's own spot across the horizontal screen to keep all the bud sites at a uniform height to maximize light penetration? You cut off the lower branches?
Anyway, the porta-scrogs look the easiest to work with of all the pictures of scrog setups I've seen. If I can mount the cages just right I'll even be able to spin my plants while they're in a scrog. That should be handy.
