1000 watt 4x4 grow

So here are the pics. I'm not too too worried about heat I feel like it's in control. It goes to 21 at night and stays around 28 during the day (around 70 at night or 82 during the day) Because of the climate no matter the temp humidity is an issue. My rooms humidity is naturally right now around 20% I have managed to with

In this photo you can see the overhead room above the light. The black thing in the top right is my exhaust. I have a nylon sock to collect dust over the 6inch duct

This photo shows the current layout of the grow tent. One fan in the back left corner another center in front of the blu bucket.

Top of the tent just a small amount of storage up there, as well as the exhast pipe exiting the tent,

The bottom of the tent you can see in the back of the photo, there's a hole in the wall. The exhaust duct is then up about six feet into the wall so the heat dissapates into the rest of the home.

That sounds like a great system. Interested in know how long you veg for, what strain ( if you stick to one or a few). What lighting are you using. Soil or coco?
I'll most likely be doing something like is in the future is why I aam so curious.


Why not for foliar? I feel like spraying with water that is up to a ph of 7.5 or 8 could cause immediate leaf damage nearly equivalent of watering wth water ph'd the same.
In the past 3 days since I've been using properly ph'd water when foliar spraying most of my leaf problems are dissapearing now.
I foliar spray so often as I'm in veg still and humidity is so damn low.
This is definitely a combination of things though including proper feeding now humidity, and testing water properly.
Anyway let me know if you think I should stop, the only reason I can see it being an issue is if ithe water becomes too hard.
Mainly strains that grow tall and skinny
Maybe 50/50 or70/30 hybrids
A lot of kush,cookies etc
I personally grow candyland

There are different processes involved in getting nutrients through stomata and roots.
No real need to pH but it is probably more natural with the low pH of rain.

As for your tent, you don't seem to run much wattage, needless to say, a light fixture that can be exhausted, covered in thermal insulation it will make the setup run cooler.

This video will teach you about routing all those ducting and shit too.
Sounds good so as far as ph goes with foliar spraying your saying scientifically it doesn't make a difference probably.
But on another level to try to stress the plant less by sticking to a more natural climate the better.

To me it looks like you will need all of them if your flipping to flower in ten days.

IMO, Nobody can put a number of days on vegging until they have grown strain x in set up x at least once. One guy might achieve an amount of growth in three weeks and another may take five weeks to get to the same point. Topping, LST and being late on potting up will all add more time to the veg process. What light and what temperature your room is will effect the rate of growth. Soil mix or hydro set up....... you get the idea. Each space has its own learning curve.

Side note: the mix looks very light and airy to me with plenty of perlite. With that light and warm temps they may end up needing water several times a day come flower time.

Best of luck!!

Absolutely learned exactly what you said! AS SOOn as I tried training. I could see the immediate drop in rate of growth as a result I feel I'm gonna keep flowering. Could likely be my temps aren't allowing the plants to thrive quite as much as other peoples too. Basically I'm an amateur and I think I could have done things better but I love learning too.

But your already right about water. I switched to the HPS yesterday to help tell the plants they're about to flower anytime now. But even at this size theyre drinking just about every drop of water I give them in a 24 hour period. Because of my work schedule i think during flower i shouldn't have a problem with watering them about every 16 hours. which I feel is DEFINITELY going to be necessary especially while they're especially hungry during the stretch.

This is whats making me think more and more about creating a reservoir attached to a pump that I can ph in the morning before leaving and it can water the plants for me if they're too dry and I can then just go about feeding them or maybe looking in to an ebb tray style growing as I would like to grow with the many plants less time style, meaning my pots would be the same size or smaller than currently and I would not want to go about watering 16 plants a day.

Thanks for the great advice sorry that I kinda like to ramble on

We have friends in Nova Scotia that can't wait for this to happen. We really hope that the laws allow growing the plants outdoors. As our next visit would be in September, possible harvest time.
The new federal law as it is currently written will not allow for outdoor cultivation for personal non medical use :(

Your very welcome. An ebb tray may be a solution that works. In the future you can just make the mix a little heavier if watering twice a day is an issue. Container size,plant size and seasonal temps help me decide how heavy or light my mix is.

Depending on the strain one plant vegged for 30 days will get anywhere from 3--6+ feet tall during flowering and will fill 4-9 square feet of space....
id say that depends on how the plant is trained.

I have some (9, but 7 are regs, in a 4 x 4) that have been vegged for 6 weeks (from seed in soil) that are all around 1 ft tall. All have been topped a few times and super cropped. If they double in size then they are still under 3 ft..

last run was 4 plants in a 4 x 4 under a 3.5 x 4 net and got a pound. But the veg was way longer.

Its all relevant. Medium, if any, light. strain, training. SOG guys would put 20 plus plants in a 4 x 4.

Thought i’d Make an update as I’m getting to about a week or so from harvest.
Got some great things going on and some things I have learned from as well.

These three are of the bagseed gsc obsiously super stoked by the colours. I’ve had the grow area up at 80 every day and down to 55 every night for the baby’s. I’m pretty sure some of the colouring is a result of mg defficiency as some of the buds have started getting what I can only describe as “crispy” my light is fairly far still shouldnt be an issue.
Next off 509BF6E4-19D4-4B52-A220-8933EF077C0A.jpeg02EF1F21-33A8-4533-BD6B-EBF2A620B773.jpeg
These two are of the grand daddy purple. It’s doing well again. Had some stretching “issues” as you can see i lollipopped it to help colas to really form up. Before that I was concerned I wouldn’t get any smokable bud from the plant. Now it’s getting dense and has to that great purple smell too.

Super lemon haze looking good. A little shorter than expected I think because of cold temps at night possibly restricting the stretch I have no clue.

C99/ Cindy these last two are of one of my c99 I’m happy with how it looks I wish I had trained it more like the other c99 to get more bud. In the end Cindy lived up to any growers dreams. Was forgiving has fattened up with minimal training. And the smell out of this world. It’s like some crazy pineapple orange punch and something you can’t quite put your finger on.

One more to show her purple side!
I’m gonna make another post with the rest of the images

Got a few more pictures here 4F8063A5-F3CF-471E-B176-AF8BE2175CF2.jpegE5C46801-AC9D-438F-92BD-679156930EE3.jpeg These are two more of the other Cindy. No purple pheno’s coming out in this one. However the smell has even more of that distinctive fruityness I mentioned in the last post. 72EF288A-EA91-41BF-9AC8-3FD1526DCF14.jpeg216785D3-E054-431B-AC23-65E487851C08.jpeg
And two shots of the gsc from canuk seeds. Smelling okay not as pungent as the bagseed for some reason. Still holding onto hope though because of the strain and because it’s a little further behind than the other one

hey man, if you go for another grow after this may i suggest dropping Canuk seeds? They are actually garbage from everything else i'v tried. Just low frost and uglt plants. But good job on ur first go!

Yeah I personally found i made it all work ok for a first grow but only just ok - and just because they are what I have I'm probably gonna put more of them in the ground this next time again

Why would someone want to pop seeds that are garbage

meant dropping as in not using haha my bad. Garbage was a bad word but crap compared to other breeders i'v seen

If it's what ya got and ur happy that's all that matters! Buuut next order i'd suggest not Canuk

Not Happy but im smoking my own bud not selling for sure. But after your previous post I have been considering just buying a 5 pack from a reputable breeder.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself some beans from PeakseedsBC. Great prices on great strains, including c99, and all will perform great under less then ideal conditions.
Cheers :)

some 3 packs are good in price too, but single seeds get expensive. Big names like barney's and green house seeds get mixed reviews but if you get thier cup winners you're probably fine.

If your in the United States u can look up DC seed exchange they have really good breeders on there and some give u freebies...
