Back Again, now 8 weeks into veg.

Wifey is still looking after the girls as I am still out of town. She is still doing a good job. I am planning to start flowering in 2 weeks time.

Comments Please...:leaf:
looks great! I have a 4x4 tent on order supposed to be here this week. your set up looks very similar to the one I am putting together. Where did you get the wire shelves for the floor.

Thanks for the compliment. About the wire shelves. I fixed up my kitchen a year ago and installed new cabinets. The old Vegetable cabinet had those in. I kept them and they seemed to be perfect and I put them in to try them. So far they work pretty good. I need to get more too. I am going to check Lowe's and home depot for something similar. I think I have seen these closet interior sets that may work.

Let me know when your setup is ready and up some pics.

Thanks...will do.

My set up is a 4x4 tent with 400W switchable MH/HPS - going to use for both veg & flower. Was going to add:

inline 6" for carbon filter
inline 6" for AC reflector
inline 6" for vent

It seems like you are doing pretty well with the small 6" fans inside. maybe I can get away without the vent fan?...

I have the same light set up and my tent is the same size. I have another tent I will set up when I get back in town. I am planning to build a table in the new tent that will make up my Mother / Veg Areas. Mothers will be under 8 daylight cfl's (42W). Veg will use a 400 W MH below the Mother Area. They will use the same cycle (18/6). The current tent will be for flowering and it will use a 400W HPS. I have 2 6" inline fans for circulation in the Mother / Veg Tent and more 6" Clip ons too.

I think you should keep the circulation in line fan and get the clipons too. The plants are always moving, this helps a lot I believe.

Good luck mate!

Your soil is a good choice. I got the dome off amazon. I got a heat mat too.

I germinated in Rockwool Cubes in the dome under 4 20W Daylight Tubes

This is how my setup will be when Im done.

Any help I can offer I will dude. This is my first grow too, so far so good. :mrgreen:

Hi all my grower buddies,

Back at 9 weeks old and the girls are looking good. Some concern about the dying fan leaves on the bottom of the White Widow. Suspect its not getting enough light. I am still out of town returning this at the end of this week so I have to say my better half is doing great at taking care of them. We are going to remove the bad fan leaves.

Again these are as follows:

Left is Medi-Bud
Middle is White Widow Max
Right is Aurora Indica

All from Fem Seeds.

Comments Please.

Hi all, Back again at 11 Weeks Total.

I got back into town and set up my second tent. I moved 3 plants into the flowering tent. 3 I am planning to use as mothers for subsequent grows.

I am feeding the flowering girls a very light mixture of Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom and a hardener. I will keep a close eye on them, especially the WW. She seems to be N2 deprived.

The mothers I am only giving water with the exception of the WW. I am helping her a bit with some 8-4-4 nutes, she also seems to be N2 deprived.

I also FIMMED the mothers in an effort to slow the vertical growth. It seems to have worked. I know I should have done it a while ago, but hey, still learning my craft.

I am thinking of putting the mothers under CFL's next week.

Comments and advice welcomed of course.

Happy Growing!!

All your plants look great , my fav is the last one of the WW! Your Aurora Indica looks a little different than mine, I was going to grow mine like you did yours. But last min I decided to do a scrog style grow instead. My Aurora Indica Is 19 days into flowering, and she is just now starting to get a nice smell! I'm sure you know what I mean! I can't wait till June to harvest! Good luck !:blsmoke:

Well, back again one week closer to chopping the bitches!! All looks good, the fox farm nutes seems to be feeding them well.

The Medi Bud has a very strong fruity smell, more than the White Widow and The Aurora Indica.

I tied the Aurora's bottom 4 grow sets down to open it more up to help bud production on the lower branches. It seems to have worked, they all have grown significantly and are bending up to reach the light.

Starting another flowering cycle soon. I decided to flower the mothers because the are too big, i did not fim or top early and I fear that was a noob error!! Well all is well, I am sure they harvest from those will also be good. The other medi bud is so big I am training it to grow around the tent. It looks strange but is healthy. I will add pics once I do that.

Comments? Maybe some reps??:weed:

wow the first two look like perfect Christmas trees! LOL They all look great!
Thanks dude, I subscribed to your scrog thread. Im thinking of dumping the medi bud completely in next grows because it just grows too high. I want to try the scrog method. One with Aurora and one with white widow.

Where did you get that rack that you use for the screen?

I just found it in my garage, I got lucky, but i did see some on eBay. Its actually a green house, and i took the plastic off of it. Some of them have 4 levels so you can make two out of it. I think the one with 4 levels was $35.00!:bigjoint:
