Room: 4x8', white walls, white wire shelves, crawl space under house and access door for exhaust and ballast, modified tent frame.

Lighting: 600hps and 150hps for flower. Two 2' t5's for veg, 1 t8 for clones

Vent: Our house has central air and the closet is in the master bedroom, constant 78/40% lights on 72/40ish% off. 4" canfan for light/odor. 2 clip on fans and an oscillating fan for movement.

Soil/nutes: 50/50 Fox Farm ocean forest/Light warrior in 5 gallon pots (one 3gal). running the following every watering (little over a gallon a plant every 4 days so far)
All General Organics, per gallon.
bioroot=10ml
calmag=10ml
biobud=5ml
biothrive bloom 20ml
PH=5.9-6.1

Plants: cuts from CH9 fem, "A cross between a plant from Humboldt County California X Ch9 Jack33", so far so good and the final smoke I sampled was very tasty with a really up, happy high. Looking for any info in the history of these genetics...... good, bad or ugly.
3 plants, 4 if you count the super runt, I just didn't have the heart to kill her so said fuck it :makeup put her on in!

Progress so far: My last thread I was in a 3x3 tent in a closet and thought "WTF are you doing dumbass, screw the tent, use the whole closet!" So this is the test run, I will be adding a 1000 switchable before next go, upgrading to exhaust at the same time. Vegged for a little over 4 weeks, clones took a while to take root..... switched to clonex and have had way better results. Screen was a last minute add in after I saw things getting out of hand, too late to improve on that now, just gonna ride it out and keep on working :harvest: these ar at day 15 from flip, btw.

Love the closet grows! So do you have a separate space for vegging? I'm not familiar with that strain... how long does she go?

Yeah, new strain to me too she runs 7-8 weeks. I am vegging on a couple of shelves blocked off with panda film, pretty small veg setup for now until I can increase my limits.

@goatmasterson Thanks dude, hope my yield increases a bit with the more evenish canopy.

Thanks frosty, I set our thermostat at 72, shut all unnecessary vents and crack the closet door 6" or so, ballast for the 600 is under the house via the crawl space hatch also venting out the hatch under the house to drier vent. I will get shots after chop down, it really worked out nicely how everything just fit with the drier vent. The 150 is causing more heat issue then the 600 right now...

Day 23: Had some Cal issues on one really bad... flushed and she seems to be coming back just fine... minus a couple of ugly fan leaves. Have some other damaged leaves on another, not sure whats up.... ideas anyone? added a couple of shots of the leaves both cal and mystery issues.

Progressing nicely, got a couple of rouge branches but all in all it working out. Gnomes are loving it! Added some air to my water rez, shits like a fucking hottub now! I think they be parting when the lights go out..... waiting to find one passed out :nerd

Anyways, just progressing temps are legit, smell is stronger this time, gotta adjust for that.

I added some sucanat, 1tsp per gallon, anyone here have experience with using it? Has some good minerals in it and sugars, my understanding is it helps to bring out and heighten the natural taste and smell of ganja....... found a couple threads else where but would be interested in what the pros at the farm think.

Got gifted some sweet genetics, called 4 way fuel.... hope they turn out as good as they sound! Got two sprouting.....:party0045:

Anyways here are some pics!

Upped the cal mag, 15ml shots now and I am noticing a much stronger smell then the last batch that these ladies were cloned from, maybe there is something to this sucanat stuff, or its could all be in my head.....

All the new growth is looking great and getting some minor swelling, the next few weeks are gonna be exciting and stinky!

I like the challenges that come up in a small closet/tent grow. You ain't lived until you have tried to grow pot in a fridge and yield more than a zip or two. I have two previous grows that I never logged and been thinking after this one, maybe redoing the "tub" and "reefer" grows for those limited on space that need some extra stealth.

Right on, gettin down to the important:RastaBong: stuff
Not much more then normal use, I am not sure how much it would raise, the air cooled hood helps a shit ton and have good air flow. I know if the inside of our house gets higher then 78 I started seeing 80+ in my room.

I am gonna be changing out my 4" and running a 6" instead I have about 300 bucks for some vent/odor control if anyone has suggestions!
