NEW VEG TENT. BKMR and WW photo

[JIMKSI64]

Howdy everyone
Getting the new veg tent and 5th grow started.
Vivosun 3x3 1 door.
6 inch Vivosun sweep fan
Vivosun 4 inch extractor duct fan mounted on roof to clean out the top of the tent. 4 inch semi rigid duct work that exits the grow room to the carbon filter.
Vivosun humidifier 5 liter.
3 Philzon 70 watt lights manual control.
Light check shows 60k lux in a 30x24 box in the middle of the tent with a 100% setting.
Whole bottom of the tent is at 6500 lux for veg at 25% at 36 inches up.
As always I have a false floor I can set at 7,13 and 20 inches up.
Will be dropping 6 BKMR and 2 W W photos
Plan is 5 BKMR in 48x48 for veg pulled and trained. And a single white widow in the 3x3 to finish as an extra plant.
Will be using paper pots and dropping these pots into 3 gallon fabric pots once big enough.
I got 16 weeks. Needs to be done.
Beans dropped.

Update
House is cool due to week 4 flowing and a cold front. Going to be lower 30's and high 50's for next 5 days.
Seeds in paper towels and room is 66. Going to get seedling mat tomorrow.
But 75 degrees with 560 watts of lights running is easy with these temps for sure.

That cube was actually in BKMR #1 and I took it out the pot and brought it to the bedroom. I new it was cold but dang.
Now it's 85 and I am adjusting towels to get it to 80.
The veg tent will have the ACI thermoforge on manual mode if I need heat. Def will not need it to finish the flower tent with the lights so high. That's just a few minutes to swap over.

Perfect! : )

Veg tent is live!
No heater gunna see where it winds up. 50% lights 30 inches up give me 6500 lux for seeds. See if it can get there on its own. The 13inch up floor gives it a smaller cubic feet.

Seedlings. 73 to 75 ° rolling wave. Never stabilizes.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Veg tent up at 76 f and 80% humidity. Working on another heat adder.
We have beans sprouted
Paper pots inside nursery pots. Bottom of paper pots is suspended so about the bottom 2 inches has airflow and drainage.
Lights at 50/25/50 and pots out of the hot spot but still under the lights.
Going to see how many are going into pots.

 

[JIMKSI64]

5 BlackBerry Moonrocks in pots.
Grading scale 4 9's and a 3.
The three I guess wants to just fuckin Start as a problem with a tail 4 times longer and all curly cue. Prolly see the tail first.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Last 3 beans split and tails out.
Love the heat mat, much quicker therfore controllable germination. 3 9's good tails and placement.
8 for 8 6 BLMR and 2 white widows. Got my turntable ready for a single Widow.
78 degrees 80% humidity.
Did make a change. Moved tight back towards rear of the tent and turned middle up to 50%. 9k on widows 8 k on BKMR.
Hope to get another degree. Lights are still over the seedling placement so they should not run sideways.

Update
2 BKMR have broken ground.
Watered all pots.
Yaay!

 

[JIMKSI64]

Update
4 above dirt.
3 helmet heads and all are Blackberry Moonrocks.

 

[JIMKSI64]

7 days from placing in a bag on a mat under paper towels to 8 seedlings above ground 3 with helmet heads.
Looking good.
To bashful for pics.

ACI cloudforge broke again. This time I sent video of the thing as even resetting it a bunch of times did not work.
ACI sent a pickup shipping label for UPS and I still have the original box but it's prolly got hydro stuff in it.
As the thermoforge was moved to the veg tent for heat that I no longer need with flower tent at 75° I moved the controller over and the little humidifier that could is keeping the flower tent at 52% daytime VPD 1.3
Can control thermoforge but not read it and not undoing another temp sensor from the tent. I got cubes in the veg tent with the humidifier sensor.
So for veg I have max heat and off, have to hand set humidifier levels, have to turn lights off and on but that's just because I am too cheap to buy a timer that I would not trust anyways and always verify.
I don't like that.
Gunna yell at Spectrum more........

Update
Fed watered all plants.
3 Helmets left one is an eyeball on a stalk.
Most of the day at 78 and 80%
Stable weather outside helping

 

[JIMKSI64]

5 seedlings doing ok. Stick with an eyeball and a WW only 2 that are struggling with the seed hulls.
Watered all squirted hulls.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Backfilled pots for support.
Placed in center of light.
2 BKMR have bad helmets. One is trying to sneak a leaf out.
Eyeball on a stick looks terminal.

Hi @JIMKSI64 - Is that duct hanging from the top of the tent for exhaust? What is your thinking about pulling air from the bottom of the tent? Doesn't that pull hot, dry air from the lights down toward the plants?

The exhaust in my tent is through a soffit fixture with a sticky trap init.
No duct tape in use but I do have a few reflective tape for light leaks.
Pulling air from the bottom and entering from the top draws in hotter air from lung room. Right now I am in flower in the big tent trying to stay at 75.

Oh, okay. I didn't see the soffit. In some of the pictures there's a long, black tube or duct hanging down. I thought that was the exhaust. So, that must be the heater duct. I have seen some growers exhausting from the bottom, and that's why I asked.
