That's what I'm sayin'... I would love a large room or garage. Imagine how many little ladies you could put in a large space. Given the experience with small spaces, a room would be soooo much easier to work in. Even though it would equal more work, I wouldn't care, I fuckin' love it!!
:harvest:

I solved the temp problems by simplifying my circulation system as much as possible, switched to passive intake. Temps get up to 84 degrees but thats only when I forget to turn the heater in the room off at night.

Day 54

Flushed today, only water from here on out. Will probably cut around 65 days. Not sure exactly how im going to dry'em, thought previously I wanted to just dry them in the same tent but would really like to get a second grow up and going. I am considering chopping the top buds and letting the lower ones go longer to develop into something worth smoking, but have been advised that this would have negative effects on my curing proccess...any thoughts?

found a couple more seeds developing, buds and leaves are starting to turn a bit purple in some places (almost black)...no amber trichs yet but some of the leaves are starting to feel a bit crispy and are folding up some

Looks good, the brittle leaves could be light burn if they are the top ones. My temps went down just by having the fan blow on the light bulb some too. The harvest is up to you, I would just do a complete cut and don't worry about the little buds. If you have space else were then dry there and grow new. But the dring buds need NO light or it kill the THC.

I am considering getting two more of these tents and putting them side by side in another closet I have. Temps would be a problem but I'm pretty sure I can pull it off by exausting up into the attic and getting a window AC unit for the room. Would need a bigger blower and carbon filter than the first grow, the rest would be the same. Here's what I'm thinking...

leaves are getting crispy and some are rolling up...doesnt seem to be any amber trichs yet??? was supposed to chop in about 2 or 3 days but I am hesitant to do so because top buds are so much more developed than under brush.

I never ran a tent so cant tell you much. Hell those would be 400s so your temps are the biggest prob. For the plants just keep checking them and any day they should be to your liking. I'm doing the same thing on one of mine. Mostly all milky and just a few clear on mine, no amber.

Awesome thread! I'm doing my first grow right now and love all your info! I'd like to get a 150 watt hps for my next grow. Is your fan for the scrubber loud? That a 4" fan?

Thanks for checking in...thats a 4" fan and yes its a little too loud, Im stealthy and would prefer that it made no sound at all. If someone were to ask me what the noise was I would just say "its an air filter". Going to try Dynomat, see link below:



A friend came over with his high tech cannon and took some good shots of the grow...not sure they turned out that well but I will post when he sends them over. Plus picks of the completed harvest.

last couple days I went all dark and am planning on chopping tomorrow, seemed to ripen them a bit...almost all hairs turned orange, still can't really see any amber and some of the lower buds didnt develop as well as I would like and seem a bit immature. Never the less I am gonna harvest them tomorrow and start drying.

A few of the most developed buds took on some deep purple and I'm excited to see how the girls look all trimmed up. Going to hang the plants right inside the tent and let the fans breeze over em gently to dry.

Took me around 5 hours to trim, smoked some really good scissor hash. In the future for a bigger grow I would consider a small trimmer, maybe the type with a hand crank. Been drying for 2 and a half days inside the tent, seemed like they might have been drying a little too fast so I turned off the over head fan. When the stems snap easily I will put into jars to cure for a couple weeks before smoking.

I will post final results when completed

Looks clean, nice dank sticks the 400wtt making some big nugs. Yeah I don't think they need the fan blowing no them directly too.

Thanks Dirt! ...400 w did do pretty well huh? Still wish I could run a 600 in this tent as I feel it woulda helped with the light penetration problems I was dealing with and potentially gotten me some better dev below the canopy with denser nugs

I will be happy with the results as long as they come out smokable after curing :)
