Help with led growtent setup

[HerbalEdu]

yeah the small tent intake definetly need to be open even if you're not seeing much tent walls moving inward.

The auto didn't stretch much you prolly can have the light higher or with a lower % on start up and the first few weeks next time.

Seem like they're not as big and healthy as they should at this stage i have no real idea why ... they looked good with the previous photo regarding growth rate, but seem it has slowed in between when it should had exploded.

Maybe they slowed down cus ive watetered abit to much, as its hard to know how wet its deeper in the earth, and thst little overfeed i did?

the photo are a tad bit yellowish to clearly see what's going on,

you need to get used to the weight of the pot when it's dry and the weight of the pot just after watering, this is a good way to know when to water without having to wait for the lower leaves to drop.

The humudity has changed alot now

Photos it wont let me add photos but i got 42 rh in both tents

They looked a bit stressed in that last photo. Maybe overwatering also looks like its either to hot at times or the lights to close
Herb has you covered so I’ll bow out and wish you well

Looks like one of the female autos has become a male.. All the others got buds and the other nothing but tentacles pistiles

Will i get autoflowering seeds if i let him be with the females?

usually lite hermie will only produce a few males preflowers on node rarely inside the buds themselve for 2-3 weeks middle of stretch phase to the end of stretch phase.

Then you have to keep a watchfull eyes and remove the males flowers when you see them, just touching them with your fingers will make them fall from the plant.

If it happen you missed some male flowers and they get mature and drop some pollen then you may have some auto fem seeds.

if you got an hermie that produce males flowers inside the buds then better to remove from the tent.

Here's a photo of a male plant node where you can see cluster of male flowers, they show as ball then open up and show some sort of small banana that contain the pollen wich also open a little afterward.

Lite hermie usually produce single ball alone not cluster if you're having a plant that produce some cluster it start being more concerning

The truth is you’ll get auto seeds back and a high % will be female however it’s not all good news the seeds will have the herm gene and you will get more hermies from them than you would do if you got freash seeds.

I fell into that trap when I first started and thought I found a way to get female seeds little did I know

The more you breed a plant that has the hermi gene the more hermies it produces

Honestly after wasting a year on them there not worth the hassle

You grow 6 all six are female then one hermies spitting hermi pollon all over your crop imo there a waste of time

I wouldn’t butt in again bar the experience I have with them from messing about with them years ago ruined my crops

I will just throw awaybthat hermie then

 

[Gmix]

If you can separate it or see what herb says he has been helping you loads and knows where your at more

Ie how bad it’s hermied and at what stage of flowering

If your seeing clusters of balls then yes sadly.

Even worse I absolutely loathe to say Depending on how long you’ve had male flowers on it and if there open will depend on if the others already been pollinated

It will still keep producing male flowers so if your going to ditch it the sooner the better.

Spray it with water before removing it as that will help stop it stop spreading pollen over the other and wack it in a bin bag if you decide to remove it

Good luck buddy

Seems like ive managed to overfeed the autos alot, most leaves yellow and dead. Except 2 of tje autos that took it and is about twice the size yet same age and seed. My 3 photos taking it easy. Same dosage on both. Prob wil end in not getting the yield i hoped for, just hope the autos dont die, buds still grow

Says my pictures has a wrong extension,, idk doing it same as always

Hi, im planning to buy a small growtent , probably 60x60x160cm size 0.6m3

Ive tried it once before years ago,, with 250w lights,, didnt get so much out of it but it was first time.. Anyways

This time i want to try led lights instead because of lower heat and cheaper power use.
Its so long ago ive forgotten most growing so hoped you could help me.

In a small tent like that, what can i expect to harvest in grams? I think i want to cut it more this time to make it more bushy.
Also how much watt led can i have? 200w? How much would i get out of that?
And about the ventilation, id like to keep noise low as im putting the tent in a shed which is wall to wall with my neighbours. Imalso abit concerened about the smell, as i could sence the weed smell in my appartment when i had it there years ago when the weed plants where blooming up at the end. I did use coal filter. Maybe the smell came fr me opening up watering it only,, idk.
Greatful for all answers and ideas.
Would like to know if thers any seeds you recomend as a beginner too that has good yield

Thx

My opinions. Stick with minimum 5' tent height. Tent height - pot height - light, filter hanging height - 1' minimum between canopy and light = amount of rema

I'll jump in with some thoughts. 1st with the tent I'd say to go no shorter than your choice...taller if possible. Reason I say this is that growing space (height) diminishes quickly after subtracting for pot height, height for hanging lighting and exhaust equipment. Bear in mind to allow some distance between the light and the top of canopy...say 1' minimum. Even with a 6' tent I've had to modify light hanging hardware to gain headspace. As linked in another reply the viparspectra xs1500pro lensed looks like a good choice (150w). Currently on Amazon US with a $30.00 off coupon. For exhaust consider a 4" Delumee fan/filter combo. It's claimed to be 200 CFM, it's variable speed, and replacement filter cartridges sold separately. I own a 6" and a 4" and both have exceeded my expectations considering the cost. Lastly, with lower temps from the led boards it may be necessary to add a smal heater. Typically low to mid 80s F day temps are desirable.
