Holy hell… I wish I could get that as well! lol I wouldn't stop growing though, I am a 'city kid with a farmer's love', no matter where I move-I'm gonna farm as long as I can. :)

How's she looking @OhpeKush ?

 

[OhpeKush]

Doing real good, showing more pistils now. Still did a mix of bloom and grow nutes this watering, want to see the growth slow down before I stop giving grow nutes.
As you can see we're at about 18 inches now.
The day is somewhere in the 50s.
Nothing is fast about this auto but I'm really not complaining about it.

 

[Annihilater]

Coming along nicely!

 

[BombBP]

Looks really good!

Hey thanks guys, I hope it continues to do its thing as the plants been very nice to me with its issues being minor ones.

 

[OhpeKush]

Sitting at about 25 inches now, not really much change except the pistils getting a little longer.
Even the start of flowering has taken a while, I have a feeling this auto is gonna exceed 100 days.

Got a tent and ordered a 600W light, after this finishes gonna plant 3 together. I have 8 seeds of this strain left but i'm really not happy with how long it's taken considering the hype in this strain is how fast it's suppose to grow.
Anyone have any favorite auto strains they can suggest?
I'm interested in Gorilla Glue.

So just ordered a 400W apollo MH/HPS light.
An Apollo Horticulture 48”x24”x60” Mylar Hydroponic Grow Tent
Got 4 clips the hang lights from, 2 more pots for the new plants.
Got 2 seeds in papertowels waiting for friday when I'll set this all up and get the 2 new plants growing.

As far as the ventilation goes, can I have it hanging outside a window or will the cold air flow back in?

As long as the tent is in your house or a temp controlled environment around 65 to 70F then you can just vent the tent right into the room, no need for fresh outside air for a small setup. Your inside air has the same makeup as the outside air, no more or less Co2 or not enough difference that youd notice.

Perfect this is exactly what I was looking to hear, yeah I have no smell concerns so I should be fine just directly hooking it up and having the duct hang into my room? I'll still be monitoring temps inside the tent of course.
Could I toss a humidifier inside the tent to help ? Right now my house sits at about 33%..

 

[DrMcSkunkins]

IME humidifiers are a nono, Ive had bud rot when using one and although Ive never experienced it Ive heard of people burning out lights because of condensation collecting on things because of a humidifier. If I used it, I would just put it in the room and not in the tent.

 

[Irietime]

Humidity is gonna be different inside the tent than inside your house. Plants create a lot of moisture, especially after you water. I'm finding that out as I go along. I'm looking into a dehumidifier for my room

 

[OhpeKush]

All the stuff came in today so I've been setting it up, just finished and I have a question. Will these seedlings grow even if they aren't directly under the light and not as close as id like because of room .

 

[OhpeKush]

I almost want to take out the 2 things that I have the plants sitting on and just have them grow at that height and then adjust the light once this ones done, feel like it's adding some shade and just looks ugly ha.

 

[OhpeKush]

All set up now, plant seems to really be loving the 400W. Other 2 should be sprouted by tommorow morning .

 

[OhpeKush]

So the humidity in the tent is sitting really low at like 20%.
Common sense tells me if I add a bowl of water to the tent it will evaporate and help raise the humidity. Is this safe?
I'm trying to avoid adding a humidifier because of such a small tent and running the risk of water condensation on my light.

I would tie down some of those branches, gives more light to the middle, gives more tops as well. Just a simple pipe cleaner tie down like @rmoltis does. Unless the plant is after its early Flower stretch (doesn't look like it is from what I can see), You will be impressed how simple and easy it is. Just adjust your light accordingly after your done.

I like your little tent!

Like he said^.

You will want to maximize your space utilizing training techniques.

There is a lot on the forum about training and topping. And there are many different versions. All have their specific application.

My thread in my link has lots about training and topping. My last page has the most recent shots of the biggest attempt at a giant bush and the culmination of much practice/learning.

 

[OhpeKush]

I need to pick up some pipcleaner so I can try that out, how do you make the holes in the fabric pot @rmoltis ? Hole punch?

Also my RH is still so low, sitting at 19% I added a sponge and a tray of water but doesn't seem to be helping.
How can I raise this without adding a dehumidifier, I have one going in my room.
Should I have the flap opened up a bit during the day?

 

[MirrorZen]

You have a dehumidifier on? Turn it off... Then you RH will go up.
Unless you mean a humidifier, in which case I would say go bigger. Once your plant starts it's bud sites is when a humidifier will often times cause Botrytis (bud rot)
