3x3 400w grow tent

Week 1 Veg update
Whats going on everybody, heres whats been going on with the plants, in the past few days they seemed to just stopped growing didnt see any new growth or anything. So i thought it was because of the small 3" peat moss cubes they where in so yesterday i went ahead and transplanted them as well as give them their first feed with nutrients. They where transplanted into 6" plack plastic pots, there was some root damage because they were stuck to the bottom of the cubes!!. But today checked on them and im already seeing new growth from all of them, so it was either the small cubes are lack of nutrients.
Anyways heres some pics of them now in new pots. Also put a small layer of rock to help drain out the bottom with out clogging small drainage holes in the bottom

Bio root: 5ml
Black diamond: 2.5ml
Bio weed: 2.5ml

My newest journal is in my signature. I have three tents total. Some of the strains i just mentioned are still seedlings but one is five weeks one is 4 and three are at 2 weeks flower. The rest are seedlings vegging until they are old enough for clones and the clones are in line to go in. Im tossing any genetics that arent worth keeping

Week 2 Veg update
Whats up guys, plants are moving along smoothly looking good and green. Alot more growth sence transplant. Been watering every other day so far. Currently on their 3rd node. I raised the plants on a plastic tote that way i could raise my light and get better airflow through the hood. Still at 75% on the light due to heat issues, tent gets up to 85* on 400w mode so waiting till it gets colder outside to crack the window open a few inches and cool the room. Thats it for now here are sum pics!!

Also i will now be following the go box feeding schedule as recommended. Being PHing water at 5.9

Week 3 Veg update
Whats up guys its week 3 the plants are still looking good, i just topped all of them today at the 4th node. Still watering every other day following schedule using 5.9 ph. 77- 79* in tent. I will be transplanting to 3 gallon pots tomarrow, roots are starting to come out of. Bottom of 6" pots. I also will be moving 4 plants out to another tent i ordered. Exact setup as the one i have now. 4 plants in each and both will be strogged. Tent is coming in tomarrow so ill post pictures up then.
Heres how the plants are doing

So the tent, light and fan came in today just waiting till the filter comes in to transplant and put half the plants in there. Here are some pics

So heres a update on the tents, i connected them all together, with a thousand zip ties, ducting and a bunch of alluminum tape. It was a pain in the ass but here it is Using 3 6" duct fans to bring in fresh air using 1 6" inline fan to exhaust air out of tents, each tent is going to have a carbon filter still waiting for the new filter to come in heres how it all looks, as you can see, the black fan in the middle is another 6" inline fan being used to cool the lights. Lights and black fan are on a timer

The grow looks amazing. Very good selection of genetics. Loving the photos!

Keep an eye on those multiple outlet power bars. They can overheat very quickly and melt. Use oversized (small gage) extension cords when possible.

I'm a sucker for a good sat

Whats up guys, another update on plants. Got some wood today and made a 3x3 table so lights wont be all the way down. The tables are 18" tall still have like 4.5' from top of the tent and sence i will be scrogging height wont be a issue. I also transplanted the plants to 3gal pots, same as before i added a small layer of rock for drainage. Heres how the tents are looking, still waiting on carbon filter i think it might arrive tomarrow

Week 4 Veg update
Another update, plants are getting alot more growth sence topped. They have all grown the 2 Main branches, some bigger then others. There was some yellowing on some of the new growth so did some research and figured it would be a sulpher deficiency so i went and bought epsom salt to help with that which was applied today so im hoping thats what was it. Right now i water every other day. 1st water is with full strength nutrients. 2nd water is with half. 3rd is pure ph ro water to flush any salt build up then repeat. I will also be getting the scrog screens in there within the next week. Heres how there looking!. 3 707. 1 NL 3 bubba. 1 NLalso the filter came in yesterday. As you can see i taped a part of it off in the bottom so it could have even pressure in the tents sence the new filter is bigger.heres the tents

Just read into it a but, wouldnt it be the same as scrogging with out the screen?

Very nice setup.

I still have a jar of the 707. This one won for a time on it's serious
strength but was replaced by things with better flavor. I can add that
it had a very different structure from the other headband I had grown.

This one was a perfumy scent....not typical.

Good luck!

You get main colas instead of popcorn buds. 8, 16, 32, 64...

I was able to have a tiny version of a giant African sativa:

This is when I envy you cali growers -- here in NW Oregon if I "crack a window open" this time of year I'm pulling in air @ 70-100% humidity, and it comes in loaded with mold spores. Drives me nuts, it can be 40º outside and if I want to cool my grow space I have to use A/C. It hurts my head to think about it LOL.

Interesting linked venting system. I haven't seen anything like that before... but I don't get out much. Look forward to seeing how it works.

What brand of tent are those, and how do you like them so far? I'm contemplating getting another tent, not sure if I should go with the devil I know...

Ya i like the structure on the 707, its nice and bushy. It also has been putting off some smell sence like week 2 of veg, it has a sweet piney smell
