Thank you for your input Bonzi.

So where is the passive intake in this system, I don't see any ducting or vents open to allow airflow into the tent?

** Looking back on the pictures I see that the square ports that are rolled up on the inside are most likely the passive intakes. With them rolled up does the tent leak light? **

Yes the tent will leak light, thats why I run a tent in a sealed closet with it's own ac vent.

If your tent is in a lighted room you can fashion a light trap out of flexable ducting. I have to round ports on my DR60II

Yeah light pokes out against the light on the wall... no big deal.. if you really care there are holes with zip ties and sleves, to run ducting into... you can seal up the screened windows my rolling the shades down... or you can run plain old ducting out of your tent, for the intake :) Then you would have practically zero leaks...

But there isn't much light leak

btw; no prob on answering that bonzai ;)

pics coming up soon... just watered with MagiCal... Sugar Daddy.... and 4mL of thrive alive.... I wanted to get them their 'neutrals'.. and I added a dash of thrive alive just to combat any stress they are going against...

They are perking up well, and appear to coming out of stretch.... and going into bloom mode... Holy shit, I might have just saved it :lol: .... at least thats what I thought when I opened the tents, and they looked perky, but didn't stretch :lol:

i use this in my set-up, u can make it out of anything, the pic is just to show you the principle, light won't travel past both bends, hence fresh air in light out & your plants stay in perfect uninterupted darkness, hope this helps, oh & btw that vent at home depot or lowes $15

Yeah thats exactly what it seems like!

Except the sativa still doesn't have pistils! kind of worries me, but I'm thinking it's a late bloomer as for the sativa pheno.. it was the stretchiest.. probably will be the slowest bloomer

I love TD. I would recommend removing ALL the big fan leaves and any other that is blocking lower nodes from light. The plant will not suffer from this as I do it to all of mine before switching to flower.

Already into flower like 20 something days... I will take a note of that and remove a few though! If you look back I had to snip mad of the plant off because they got really tall... photo updates coming later tonight

Tangerine Dream Day 22:
Tied some branches to the side and together... basically spreading out the canopy letting more light come in


Photos:

OHHHH baby. That HPS is doing work... Fucking blew up pistils recently. This is number 2 the indica dom. pheno


I (think) this is number one, the more hybrid/balanced pheno..


A few canopy shots... Notice the sativa pheno in the back hasnt started popping out pistils! I'm hoping thats just the long flower pheno type taking it's time! I did see a few pistils here and there, but nothing BLOOMing yet on that... weird.. im scared of a hermie! Checking it CLOSE like every other daily.. for balls.



Zip tie training! these suckers come in handy... I got other ones zip tied to the tent rails, pulling the branches against them, to use up alll those extra inches ;)






SO what do you guys think? ;) ;) it's coming together yeah?


Also, thoughts on that slow flowering sativa? It had such lanky branches I had to cut it low at the actual node.. branches werent thattt well developed..
