New Room (Tent)

So after a long time growing in a 1.5mX3m tent I decided to use up more space in my area and upgraded to a 3mX3m tent. On top of that I installed a split aircon unit (24K btu), my dehumidifier (which I'll be upgrading), co2 enrichment.

Lights:

2 x Monster 720 watt LED
2 x Gavita 1Kw and 750 watt dialed down

Aircon:

24K btu

Pots:


Going to be running around 60 x 10L bato buckets.


Potted Plants:


Plants were a bit root bound from their smaller pots, I refuse coco and the ec was off the charts so they had a bit of a rough start, first few rows is Critical Banana, then some Gorilla Butter F2 #4 pheno from my hunt and then Chimeria Breath, Pau Hana from 808 and a few point break phenos. A bit of spill run off which has since been cleaned, the floors were lined with panda film to keep the main tent drip day clean as possible. The feeding is done via a 250L res via netbow drippers.

About a week or two later:


Co2 controller


I find that my CO2 leak is pretty minimal with this tent, my extraction fan only runs on light out, and my dehumidifier runs 24/7 along with my aircon. Temps are being maintained around 28-30c with an RH of around 65-70%. I'll adjust RH and temps once I set to flower which should be in a week or two. The co2 cylinder is a 70lb bottle.

I like it!

What do you do with run off? Shop vac?

Currently it’s evaporating pretty fast, but I do need to make a plan in winter.

This is wild, I'm grabbing a seat. Good luck friend, do give update on drainage when u got a solution.

I imagine then your not planning on running 10-20% run off?

Yes get a shop vac or you'll have a breeding ground for all sorts and roots growing all over the floor I would of thought

My pots are raised a bit thankfully.

But yeah I'm most likely going to get a cheap wet/dry vacuum cleaner to suck it up. (realizing now that we don't call it that in my country lol).

I do plan to do a bit of runoff.

ooooh a 10 x 10 ? just got mine and have been pondering what to do with it, I am planning on going with probably 3 grass roots 4x4 beds and 3 high grove magnolia 6 lights. some blu mat soaker hose set ups and then only once a week watering with build a soil organic line up needed. Subbed to see how yours goes also!

Yep 10x10.

I opted to keep big walk ways around the plants as I wanted to be able to get around to all the parts and defol easily and do what needs to be done.I could have filled it up to the walls but i'd never be able to do much house keeping in it.

Aye, it's a wet vac where I'm from too.

I spent a good while with just a mop back in the day.. fml

Yep I tried that as well, I had a lot of runoff and then grew some algae. Tossed in some pool clarifier and it made the runoff sparkly But yeah just checked on them now and will have to get up a machine probably sooner than later.



There are a few plants on the side that will migrate to my veg area.

My cuts of:

Rainbow Zoap
Chimeria #2
Orange Road
Frozen Bag
Sugar Cake
Croissants.

yeah for sure something I have been pondering how to get it to work using 4x4 beds... at first I was saying I was going to do 4 of them but then realized I would have no room to do anything in there lol cant wait to see how everything turns out for you!

Flipped.

I will be maintaining higher dark cycle temps for the first two weeks to reduce stretch, also be employing cold air dumping for the first two hours of the on light cycle. Then my gavitas will kick in and will try to maintain temps around 26-27c and gradually increase co2 to 1200ppm. I found these plants did not like 1200ppm had all a few issues and when I dialed it to 800 they were happy.

After:



Plants are super happy at the moment thankfully, I've increased watering frequency and still maintaining relatively high temps and at lights on still dumping cold dumping to around 18-19c to have a wide ranging DIF.

Up skirt creep shot:

Bud sites are starting to form, tomorrow will be two weeks post flip. Still cold air dumping, also raised the PPM to co2 to 1400 ppm. Currently having to trim and clean back foliage basically every 3/4 days due to crazy growth.

Okay well budsites are setting in nicely, did another trim yesterday.

After:





Bud sites starting to form nicely





Still running around 1350-144PPM CO2@28/29c.

Been a few weeks but this is the current state of the plants.





Week 4 was this past tuesday post flip, majority are 10 week strains. I've dialed the co2 down to 1100 PPM now.
