125/250 Watt CFL tent grow - House of Funk Arctic Fallout

Switched over to 12/12 lighting schedule on May 27th. This time I'll be keeping my veg nutes peaked at 1000ppm and the 6500k spectrum bulb in for at least the first week during the initial stretch phase, hoping to reduce that. Also, I added some ducting to the tent mainly for lightproofing purposes.

Pulled two males today and one plant which was damping off badly at the stem. Plant didn't appear to be in poor health or overwatered?? Anyways, the remaining seven have more room to breathe now. Bulb has been switched to the Feliz 250 watt red spectrum. Remember now the 125 watt blue spectrum bulb remained in throughout the first week of flower to help reduce stretching. Uncle Ben's topping technique was also applied here. Man are these suckers BIG!!

Pulled one more male today. So far there's been four males found out of ten.

12 days now into flower. Nutes are running HIGH at 1170ppm(gasp!) for this early on in the game, yet the plants seem to be handling it quite well:

I think that's about it concerning the males. 6 for 10 with a 100% germ rate and very uniform growth, with one of those plants lost to stem rot.


Wish I would've vegged for longer but just couldn't wait!

them things are looking very healthy and indica dominate.

Movin' on up...
