This is my first real grow!

[Captspaulding]

You did good with that tent! When it comes time to upgrade you got yourself A. Seedling starting area B. Little veg tent for some perpetual thangs C. Drying tent and my personal favorite D. More room to grow things just poking a little : )

I did exactly that, there always the tent in bathroom, middle of the kitchen?!!!!

I did this but backwards. I bought a 5 x 5 first then bought a couple 2 x 2's. The 5 x 5 was for main production and the first 2 x 2 was to house mother plants and the other was for quarantining plants, seedlings, rooting clones, etc.

I have a little bit of experience growing so buying the big tent first was ok. In your case, starting with the 2 x 2 was smart. Now you have a better idea of what is needed to pull off a successful grow and can be a more informed buyer when you step up and expand your grow space.

I use AC Infinity for grow gear and Bestva for lighting. I've heard some good things about ACI's lights so if you want to go with a kit you can also include the lighting they offer.

As far as your fans, I don't like to have so many fans in the tent. Just more stuff to break. One on top and one below as Bossman, i.e. @Captspaulding , suggested would be perfect. In a 2 x 2 you don't even need a 6" fan. A couple of 4" computer fans top and bottom will suffice.

Hell yea thanks man! To be honest i dont even know what supercropping is shit i was worried to even use a ScrOG before @PooToe convinced me to hahaha

Thats hilarious you say that because i was literally about to go looking for a small computer fan or 2 to blow the air around at the bottom of the tent hahahaha

Damn..... this is disappointing.

Ordered the liquid bioactive supercharger bundle from purple cow off of amazon, it arrived with the microbe bottle leaking and the seal broken. Contacted amazon, they sent a replacement. It got here today, with the same damn problem.......

So amazon refunded me. I used the other microbe bottle and it doesnt seem to have hurt my plant at all, so i might just say fuck it and use these til theyre gone. Or expired i guess, whatever comes first

Silver lining.....Free Nutes......

If there is a ph range on the package, try mixing up a small batch and see if it lands in the right zone. @PooToe has the plan. They could be just fine bro!

Thats exactly what im thinking, i have DOUBLE free nutrients no big deal at all

Honestly, I've about given up on oscillating fans and just small fans in general. I have a box of broken fans that I paid good money for and are now just parts to keep the other shitty fans running. The only 6" oscillating fan I would even consider buying would be the new ACI Gen 2 fans. My next run I'm going to remove ALL the fans but one.

I use the ScrOG method in my grows so roof height isn't as much an issue for me. My idea to simplify the fan situation in my 5 x 5 is to hang a 20" box fan horizontally a couple of feet from the roof of the tent. I'll point the fan at the roof. Box fan has three speeds I can use but if they aren't right I can always plug the fan into a speed controller to control the fan speed and dial in the amount of air I want moving.

What I'm hoping this accomplishes is for the box fan to pull the air in the tent up to the roof where the exhaust fan can remove whatever air the box fan pulled up into that area. Doing it this way will allow the air that is being pulled in from the flaps on the bottom of the tent to get pulled through the canopy, fresh CO2, past the lights and up into the exhaust fan area. Not only will it remove all the moisture and gases that oscillating fans do but will also help in cooling the lights as the heat will get pulled up, heat also rises on its own so we're just "assisting" the process, into the exhaust area and pushed out.

Box fan can be had for $20 - $25. ONE oscillating 6" fans will cost you the same or more.

This has to be one of the best and most informative post I've seen since joining every time I pick my phone up more info lol

Close call.
Good on you for that due diligence it is essential for us indo folks

Hell you can even have them on mini fan speed controllers/modulator.

"Thanks dude! good to hear youre working fine with a single fan right now. Do you keep thaylt fan above or below your plant? Im assuming its above the canopy to keep the airflow around the buds moving."
Well I meant a single clip fan. I use 3 fans total, intraction fan which moves the air on the lower canopy, clip fan on top of the canopy and then the extraction fan above the lights to suck tho hot air out.
Also no response from purple cow yet, I doubht they will respond, I would not buy from them (personal opinion).

Apparently theyre not so excited to help you

 

[Eledin]

Defoliated today. Hand smells great. Kinda sticky lol let me know what you think. Found a little patch of growth that hasnt seen much light in a while, hopefully that makes some nice buds too

Very nice and thick stems, you probably wont need any support for those buds with such stems. She looking great overall and the tent is full.

 

[Mikedin]

Feed n water day and i feel like SHIT lol

She doesnt look like she has any deficiencies now, lookin pretty perfect actually. Hopefully she doesnt get nute burn, but i did lower the dosage of things a little bit just to make sure. Time will tell.

Gave her only ½tsp of epsom salt this go round, since the deficiency signs disappeared im just gonna take it easy on the nutrients. Gave about the same pf everything else as well, but i gave 2½tbsp of the seabird guano, since thats what it recommended and shes just barely starting to flower so im sure the extra phosphorus is gonna be niiiice for the buds.

Im gonna get a small timelapse every time i give water, just cuz i thinks its cool as fuck lol you can see the color change back to normal from pale green in the timelapse, its so cool

Damn she looks nice! Not a misplaced leaf on her. Killin it fam!

Dollars to doughnuts the neuts are good, probably gettin thrown around in transport I’d test em on a plant if no negative effects rock em

(I see you have already tried some so that’s good!)

I haphazardly followed your style. Started with a big tent because I go big! Now I'm just in love and going to have a few tent around the house. Eventually a pheno hunted out mom but that's years after I've gone through the world of growing and decide to settle down I imagine.

Good luck with that, once it’s something you can’t see yourself doing without, it’s now a lifestyle.



You’re so screwed.
I was talking with @Mikedin the other day, about how we have grow gear exploded all over ours houses. Totes of dirt in our bedrooms,
It gets to be EVEN FUCKINGBETTER THAN YOU THINK MAN,


All the plants, and of coarse



MORE TENTS!!!
