My Cheap Ass Grow.

I believe so. I have a friend that vegs and flowers under 4 of those. Seems to do ok for the $.



My advice would be to clone and veg in the same tent. Maybe 1/4 - 1/3 of the tent for clones and the rest moms. And fill your flower tent up with rooted clones. Maximize the flower tent space!!

Lol no I wasn't suggesting you get 4. Just stating I've seen them in action. He uses 4 over roughly a 10ft x 3ft space. A step above cfl for sure.

one cheap LED will do for the 2x2x5 baby/clone/whatever tent.

good morning, me? eek.. hides in the corner.. from what what iv seen from grow logs cobs rock n roll.. hope you are having a great morning.

chris.

a good shot of the slow growing fat leaf against the fast growing hungry plant.. seems this is a slow short growing plant.

just felt the other solo cups.. looks like babys need water when i water solo cup 17.
they sucking water fast.


hey @justiceman which baby do you wnat to see roots of when i feed next? ill only check out one before transplant.. will give me a ide3a and not stress all of the plants while i learn.

chris.
chris.

seedlings are kicking ass. all healthy and i bet they out grow the other plants.

i thinking i cant let my plants stay in solo cups and long as most.. i bet with in a week or less ill be watering/feeding every day.. so im thinking once i see the rootball..

maybe time to transplant.. much easier with larger pots.. heh.

chris.

hey @SimplyCmplex hey bro lookie not even 48 hours.. same year i graduated high school hope she grows into a female. :D

1993 Afghani! woohoo..
hell even if its a male maybe worth keeping around..

ok, so i just had bad luck first time around if i could get at least one old seed to pop from 1993.. stargate og seeds must just not be healthy and to old? i dunno.
bad luck. heh

We told ya. Sometimes seeds just aren't viable. Whether from the breeder or just not stored correctly. Once you gain the confidence, and a seed doesn't pop, you'll shrug it off. It happens bro. Lookin really good so far man, plants look good. You'll be cloning soon.

Doing better Jip

Jipp How big are I should say tall are the tents? How tall do you plan to veg your plants prior to flip.

Lets take a few things into account. I'm not sure if you are running fem strains or regular, but in any amount you will want a clone off the female plant you get, in case you find something you like after flower.

which brings me back to how tall do you want to have your plants prior to flip. Some plants will double in size , even triple. The plant I have below was flipped at 1 foot, and now it is about, 38 inches.


If you don't flower at the right time and based on size of your tent you might run into some height issues ( plants being close to light) but you said you would be getting Cobs.

when i was new i was in a hurry to get from vegging to flowering.I would be looking to up pot the 4 larger ones to give them some time before you flip the light and just pull the males as they show.If the oldest one is taller top it to allow the other 3 to catch up.topped twice they should give you enough smoke and hopefully the smaller ones & the Afghani wont be to big before it is their turn under the light lol. these plants that i just put under the light are to big some super cropping & a net might work.Your in need of smoke so start them at the right time and make the flowering stage as easy as you can on yourself.Save the tea for flowering it sounds like a basic non burning one that will help your buds in the second half of flowering quite a bit.Trimming & smoking scissor hash so i'm buzzed
