Hi everyone, thought i would make myself a thread i can simply add to as i grow along. :P

Recently purchased a new tent to replace a very small tent that was given to me years ago but never used.

I had to move my plant into a larger tent for it quickly out growed it's former residence.

The spare room was being used for storage, so i basically emptied it, cleaned it and filled it up with the tent, i can walk around it with easy access, but being inside it is awesome, it's like being somewhere else when inside...my own little equilibrium. : )

It's given me the room to expand over time, i only have one light at the moment, but it's been a good 15 years since i last grew, so i don't want to bite off more than i can chew at the moment.

It's a 2x2 tent with multiple outlets, etc.
Such a change from a tiny little tent, i now have room for another 2-3 plants which is great and also plenty of room for my A/C.

The A/C I'm using had been in a storage shed for the last few years so it has now come in very handy, and also works a treat as a dehumidifier.
I just had to remove a plug and run a hose from that to drain, the hose fits into my other small dehumidifiers waste bin perfectly.

The small dehumidifier was great for the small tent, but was struggling with the 2x2.

I was battling to reduce the RH until i realized i had something larger to tackle it, so now i have 50%RH as she's flowering, but will need a stronger exhaust fan to drop the RH further during it's last 4.5 weeks, but for now temps and RH are where they should be.

White Widow is the plant currently in flower, almost 4 weeks in.
Originally it was a mother plant i decided to flip, she gave me 20 clones which was great, so will grow a few of those clones in the tent once i change the set up to a 3 or 4 tote system.


I had a Purple Erkel plant recently go male on me, so i grabbed one of my OG Kush seedlings, washed all the soil away from it's roots and threw her into a net pot, so fingers crossed she doesn't want to go all transgender on me.

The blasting of water i gave those roots(gardenhose), zero transplant shock and made herself right at home, after a nights sleep she looked great.

Lights are off now, once back on I'll take a pic or 2 and might do a quick vid just because. :P

Anyway thanks for stopping by and see y'all next time! :)

Added a quick tent tour video. :)

I need to stretch my screen out more, just a temporary set up for now but yeah could be tighter couldn't it?

I've never used one before, but very cool using one for the first time, it's great seeing them grow through it!

Current pic of White Widow taken today on day 24, can't believe it's been almost a month now, time fly's when your having fun! :D

PPM is at 1200, Ph 6.2, next res change will adjust ph to 6.4 for the remainder of the grow.

Total of 26 clones taken from her now, defoliated earlier and my lower stems were very bushy, and the lower branches weren't going to give much so i took another 8 cuttings from it and cleaned her lower branches some whilst taking a heap more fan leaves.

The new tent has greatly helped in regards to evaporation i noticed, was surprised to still see the same level of nutes from when i changed it a few days ago, so very happy with that! :P

Will update in another week or two hopefully with some pics of some glistening budz....drooool. :P

My video didn't work did it..?

Oh for sure, when i walked inside i was grinning from ear to ear!

Felt like when i moved from a very small apartment to a large house, just felt great having room to move and more importantly to be able to have more girls move in. :P

But yeah feels huge amigo. : )
It took me 3 hours to get our 4x4 put together, but when it was done, I felt like it was a whole other bedroom.

31 days into flower piccies. :P

Took a tonne of leaves off today, noticed it actually made a difference to the humidity which was great.

It needed urgent trimming, through my laziness it had gotten away from me. :P

I realized i have been over feeding my plant by reading the wrong scale on my ppm meter.
Was scratching my head as to how i got nute burn a few weeks ago, never owned a ppm meter before so yeah lesson learned and phew could have been a disaster!

Day 33 and still can't stop taking pics of this girl. :P

All is going well, temps, RH are perfect, she's a happy girl.

Currently working on a 4 site system which is new to me, but looking forward to building it that's for sure.

I realized if i am to grow through summer i will need a chiller, so working out how to use a chiller with it if i decide to run one.

So we have the same tent growing the same strain except mine is auto and yours is photo. Your flowering is a bit in front of me but be interesting to see how we both finish up. Let’s stay in touch

And finally, nice defol job 👍

If you have the bucks, you can buy a nice chiller which you can instal inline. I am looking at just under $1000 AU for mine, which I might get if I win the lottery. Thankfully in southern Australia we are having a cool wet spring which means my garage concrete floor is not heating up too quick and tent temps are ok.

My fan leaves on my WW Autos have the same purpling in the stems.
Yeah had some very purple stems, but most of them are going back to green now.

I was using some watered down nutes earlier but since changing them and then actually reading the correct scale on my ppm meter lol...all is well again ha ha.

Oh thanks very much, i held off on defol for awhile, it almost got away from me, just crazy how bushy they get, but yeah RH is much better since removing all those leaves couldn't believe it.

So cool same tent and same strain, it's a small world isn't it..? :P

For sure will be great to stay in touch will do.
