Small Tent/4 Strains

So after the first night of being in the tent everyone looked great aside from Deadhead OG. Here is how she looked when I woke up for work the next morning:

I gave everyone 2 cups of water with 1 drop of root booster for their first night in the tent and I noticed everyone was still damp aside from Deadhead so I gave here another cup (and when I say cup I mean a literal measured cup of water) and sprayed her leaves with water. After a few days of this she looks like this:

Her leaves are still pretty dry but she is starting to stand back up..

UPDATE: I have been very busy with work that it has been hard to even take pictures of my girls. Deadhead OG ended up dying and I pulled her. The other three girls seem to be thriving after three weeks of veg. The SF seems to be running straight up as I expected from a saliva while the GG is getting quite bushy. The BD was a slow starter but she has gained some height and looks to be catching up to the GG height-wise, but not width-wise.

I doubt anyone is subbed and I don't expect anyone to be but if someone stumbles across this somehow let me know what you think. These clones were transplanted into soil on 5/1.

Looks great. Subbed. You look prepared and set for a successful grow. The soil should last you through veg. What nutes do you have planned for flowering? How much did your whole setup cost? I am doing a stealth rubbermaid grow, but I am not doing a grow journal as I want to give all my attention to making it successful. My whole setup including seeds (Nirvana White Widow) will cost me $200-$250. I am trying for four plants (two female hopefully all) so if I can get an ounce out of it I will be happy and consider it a success. What are your yield goals? Will you top, LST or any other method?

Here is a breakdown of my setup minus odds and ends like light hangers and ph down as I do not recall the prices.
Light, ballast, bulbs Craigslist $125Tent eBay $97
Soil $20
435cfm Fan Craigslist $35
435cfm Fan hydro store $85
20' 6" Duct $10
Timer $8
Pots $15
Drainage plates $8
Clones $50


So a little over $450 for the whole setup and I hope to harvest 2 ounces per plant being 6 ounces as I lost one clone.

I have added 1/4 dose of bat guano nitrogen to my water and it says to re apply after 4 weeks so I'll do that in two weeks. That's all I'm currently doing to the water aside from pHing at 6.5. When it comes to about two before I switch to 12/12 I will probably be picking up some FF flowering nutes. We will see when the time comes.

As for topping. I had planned to do so for the SF off the bat I just didn't know when or how. My buddy who Was quite knowledgeable in growing came over this past weekend and topped my SF and GG. I've heard multiple reasons why to top or FIM but the one that makes sense to me is that it allows the plant to focus growth on the bushy end and not so much vertical. Anyhow good luck with your grow and thanks for subbing in. I'll try to keep this updated at least once a week but with a wife, child, and job it might get rough. Take care!

Nice i'll be watching. For my first grow i got some GDP clones from harborside they turned out ok, might have been better if I were more experienced. Working with some xxx og kush I got from Organicann in Santa Rosa this go around.

Farout man. My clones are from Harborside too. I hope they turn out bomb. So far so good.. Thanks for subbin!

So here's another weekly update. Nothin major happened aside from me just recently (tonight) moving the tent into the spare bedroom in my house. My wife put up a fight but in the end I bring home the cheddar so the room is MINE!

Thanks for those still watching! Any request pictures of my setup or plants ya'll want I'll try and take! Just let me know.

Peace!

Update:

So I went on on a working road trip last week and had watered the plants on Monday before I left. My brother-in-law watered them with just pH'd water on Friday before I returned and they looked good through the weekend and today when I went out to water I noticed the girls had looked a little droopy so I took some pics. I felt the soil and the top soil was dry and it was dry about an inch down (even though the soil was pretty packed) so I watered like normal. I noticed runoff in the runoff pots quicker than normal but oh well, the soil still got wet..

Here are the pics:
