Hey guys and gals long time lurker here been reading on the forums for about 7 months now figured id join up and partake in the community. Just harvested my first plant grown in a diy 4x2x6 plywood/foamboard box. Now im starting a 4 plant grow in my first real tent 4x8x7 gonna be running 2 chemdog clones off of my harvested girl and 2 cherry pie seeds that are gonna pop out today.
Setup is as follows
1 1k adjustable hps/mh in a yieldmaster hood
1 diy 320w cob 8 vero18 3500k also adjustable
Ac infinity 6 in fan with controller
And inkbird temp and humidity controls
Nutes are AN 3 part on 2 plants and jacks 1 2 3 on the other 2
Gonna run 1 of each under the led and 1 of each under the hps.
And being that its my first time doing a journal any advice on how to make it better is definitely welcome

Thanks im super excited to try the chemdog out again i made several major mistakes with my current clones mother ,
A - didnt know what it was so it literally stretched twice as much as planned(bonus mistake lol got to learn about super cropping)
B- with no baseline on nutes i started low and worked up till i got burnt tips so backed off base nutes then got a cal defiency corrected it with 4 weeks of flower left.
C- the continued stretch caused me to have to turn my light down to 75% so it ran through flower at 250w. will have a dry weight posted soon as its done drying lol
Shot for the stars at 1g per watt on my first go but ill be stoked with whatever i get, just glad i didnt kill it. So this go i know my enemy and am hoping for a bomb ass first tent run the space has me the most excited cramped areas are no bueno

What is the cardboard for in your tent? Is itnbnso you can have one side for veg and one side for flowering? Just curious because I never saw that before.

Its a temporary drying room had to cut the tent in half i grossly underestimated how much i had on my girl, its working pretty well humidity around 55 and temps on the drying side are 68 and 74 on the other side

Lol. Your lucky, that's 1 more time than I got. My girlfriend helps smoke it , but that's about it.

 

[Gweedo]

There was 3 of us but but all rookies so it took forever the first hour we were being super careful then we got the hang of what was needing to happen and it sped up, less smoke breaks woulda helped a lot too lol

Made an insulated box ghetto rigged to my ac gonna run my airpumps in that box till i get my undercurrent setup built, then a chiller will be in the works. Also got my xxl light hood in the mail this week sonstoked about that as well. The ladies are doing ok one looks great her sister is a bit droopy with some odd leaf color down low, my chemdog clone kicked the bucket nuked her roots trying to get the upper hand on the slime, lol it won.
