4 lights in my 4x8

[Newber]

First time trying this, plants seem to enjoy the extra light. Have two Nextlight 525 watters along with two phantom 315cmh's with vertical 3100k Philip bulbs. 12 plants total; 11 lemon clones, 1 GG seed from a homie I germed awhile ago. Temps aren't bad, 62-79 range. Soil is FFOF, been using big bloom and grow big along with a couple of teas. Have 4 fans total. Two 14 inch pole fans, an 8 inch Hyperfan with scrubber, and a 4 inch inline up top to move heat. Just set timers for flower today, hoping it fills out nicely while under quarantine. Shoot me some pics of your grow or any tips or tricks.... always down for knowledge.

you certainly aren't lacking for badass lights

what's the spots on some of them? looks hard waterish?

Thanks man, been a process getting to this point, racing the lady home so she doesn't see more boxes on the porch. lol and that is just bat guano and worm casting residue from the big bloom, figured the leaves wouldn't mind a little food.

after some issues with how much power I was drawing, think I have it fixed

Just left hydro store, fortunate to have a really great one built into my neighborhood. Really just went up for some Tiger Bloom, but got to talking and looking around and he recommended adding koolbloom to add on weight and get the buds more dense. Also looked at the foxfarm feeding schedule and realized I have not been adding grow big in flower like they recommend... lol well shit, guess at least I know now

 

[Newber]

filling up nicely. Hit them with a third of grow big, tiger bloom, and kool bloom after a tea and they are growing great, I've been really easy on the food this round, mostly bc I hate buying bottled nutes all the time, so only fed like twice in veg, and once was organic. thought everyone loved watching the stretch go down lol

FYI for future, much cheaper 0-10-10 at your local hardware store. $7 at home depot.

@visajoe1 appreciate the tip!

Just rolling along. Got my temps from 85 down to 77 by moving my nextlight in front of the scrubber with its heat vent dumping right into it, and adding a 4 inch inline directly behind the other nextlight that dumps out the top of the tent. For LED's, these things have some heat coming off em. Prob just gonna let them soak up some light and leave em be for the day... even tho when I say that I always end up doing something and I do have a shot ton of dirt in the tent, but I dont know if I ever really had it hold its humidity so well. hmmm...

 

[Newber]

humidity is dropping I'll check in a few hours see where it lands, for accuracys sake just wanted some more photos to be able watch the stretch

 

[visajoe1]

atta boy! girls look happy, great temp/humidity

'preciate it, was a little worried at 60%, but did water 10 gallons between tea and food the last few days. Usually try not to water that close together, but with stretch looming needed to get some food in them.
on a side note, the taco bar was a success what's going on in your neck of the woods @visajoe1?

 

[Newber]

just picked this up, moving dryer plug to a 15x15 room...I think a grow room is brewing lol good for four 1000watt HPS's

A picture of the fine ladies before lights out. Still stretching away. The before stretch pic almost looks a little sad now lol

i love uniformity of all your plants and how tidy it looks. my big room does double duty as a veg/flower room. right now i'm veging everything i can but i have several all at different ages etc so timing and flipping lights etc is a bitch. my first grow i think i rushed my veg and shit but i was running a DWC system and i'm lazy ASF so i became negligent on my water duties and you can fill in the blanks. now i'm using build a soil and kind soil with some other living stuff i grabbed from st. louis hydro mixed with worm castings. i find the dirt more relaxing like gardening and less like dr. frankenstein. looks like your killing it homie !!

appreciate brother! i can only imagine the pain in the ass that is, never had any urge to try DWC and hydro seems stressful from how quick everything can die in a day if something happens, soil is easy pace, easy care, plenty of time to catch any problems. Plus with these fabric pots and airy soil is kinda half hydro in my book. I work 3 12 hours shifts in a row with 30 min drive each way, so I dont have time to mess with shit for a minimum of three days a week, I mean other than gaze upon my Eutopian creation ps that's me in my welding glasses just staring at the plants lol

 

[Newber]

the stretch continues... debating on defoliating but with 4 lights in a mylar tent I think penetration and layering might be good enough to just roll with it... whatchu think?
