5 x 9 gorilla tent, 2000 watt coco grow, flood and drain

I've had these strains for less than 90 days. I'm currently in 6th week of flower on a different grow, and I wanted to try a shorter veg cycle with this grow. I'm using a 5ft x 9ft x 8ft tall, Gorilla Tent. Tent was about $700, and so far I like it.
4 strains are, White Widow, UK Cheese, Purple Wreck, Platinum Master Kush, also have 1 shark attack, and a couple Hawaiian Kush.
Using 1 and 2 gallon Root Pots, with Coco coir. Hydroton on the bottom and the top. A 4x4 flood tray with 40 gal res with 25 plants. A small tray 18 gal res with 8 UK Cheese. Cutting Edge 6 part nutes. 1 1000 watt mh, 1 1000 watt hps, Digilux. Lights are ducted and vented to reduce heat. My CO2 burner is in my other room, and will probably move it in here in 3 weeks for a mid-late flower boost.
These pics were taken during the final 18 hour light day. 12-25 will be the first day of 12/12.

You got screwed on your tent. I paid 185 + shipping to AK for a 4x8x7. Plants look aight though.

The Gorilla tent is a little different. I saw them at the Home and Garden show in LA. The most awesome tent on the market. The 5x9 is on ebay for $720 free shipping. I bought it at the local hydro shop for $670 out the door

Day 4 in flower.
I swapped the MH for HPS and dropped the hoods a little closer today. Looks like they have stretched about an inch each day since they went to 12/12

These are 3 of the 5 strains on day 42 of 12/12. These plants were in veg about 4 weeks, cloned, 1 more week veg, and thrown into flower.
Left to right; UK Cheese, Purple Wreck, White Widow

Day 9 in flower

Here's a pic of the platinum kush from last week, she was at 42 days I think. Had to tie up some heavy arms before they hit the ground.

Nice grow man I like the tent ha just ordered one to go along with my cab haha nothin uf size tho I'm just rockin a 3x3 haha I was wondering with those root poochs I feel like its not as big a deal for you since u are doing hydro but I'm going to do soil I was thinking 4 in 5gallon root pooch pots or 4 in 3 gallons, do you think 5 is kind of over kill or why not go for the extra soil you think?

Thanks, I've never grown in soil, the root pouch with coco has produced better quality for me, than hydroton. I have always used the 3 gallon, until this latest grow where I'm using mostly 2 gal and a few 1 gal.
Guess it depends on how long you veg, and how big you want em to get. They make 10 and 20 gallon too,,

Yeah I've only got my 3x3 space so 4 that aren't too big a foot and a half nice bush I'm thinking 3 gallons should do the job, and yeah if seen the 10 and 20s I used a 20 for this auto I had outside I think im going to be using 20 gallon root pooch bags on these autos I'm putting outside

Day 10 in flower

THE GORILLA

Started flushing 9 of these today at 49 days



Water cooled Co2 Generator


6 inch fan and ice box on a magnum 1000 watt hood

Day 14 in flower

Day 14


Everything is looking pretty good. Took some of the bottom leaves off, but this has been very low maintenance. Curious to see what the yield will be with 1 week in veg,,

Day 54 for this Platinum kush


Day 54 on the White Widow

No problem Bro!
You guys got any new strains in stock?

What is the browning on that white widow light burn or nute burn? It kinda looks like what I'm getting on one of my plants that's just starting its 6th week of flower

The fan leaves start to die when the plants get flushed. It's normal for the 8th-9th wks.
