Tent size is not quite 5x5. LED's are 4 spider farmer SF1000's, another 390W of 3000k white strips from Cutter, and another 450W of different reds and UV's from Cutter. It is all basically at the tent ceiling though, would fry the crap out of them if it were close, 1240W total on 11 different drivers, all meanwell. Far red is on 15 mins before and after the rest of the lights. Switched to flower Friday night/Saturday morning two weeks ago, so 15 days

The plants looking healthy all I care about lol. The UVB will be on two independent heatsinks, pretty thin, so will have those down lower. I am also going to be building a frame for the lights so will make it easy to raise and lower things

Took cuttings from Alaskan Purple and Blueberry. I didn't get the WW, but I'm not keeping any of these anyway, no room. Clones look great for being cut almost a week ago. Pic is from yesterday, but nothing has changed.

So they are acting like they need N, and I don't think it could be locked out, no signs of burn except on the WW cuz she's a high maintenance whore, this is just her. You can see the yellowing lower leaves. She looks like she’s gonna be the prom Queen that puts on 400lbs before I kick her out of the tent. They are going through water like crazy, guess I should have up potted again. They are in 5 gal fabrics, should have gone to 10. I have to water every day or they get dehydrated and start drooping, BONE dry all the way in if you stick a finger in her after 30 hours, wont be doing that again :spew:

Yellowing is getting worse, and I have mag and N in the feed, so I think tonight I might do a flush. I am 5 gal fabric in soil using synthetic nutes, and I have not done a flush this grow, and I only fed straight water a couple times. They dry out in a day, so a full flush shouldn't hurt them too bad. I'm gonna drown them till I get at least a couple gallons of runoff, then do a balanced light feed so they have some nutrition to uptake. I'll also add Mykos and Great White at the end to replace all the flushed out microbes

Whats the most time anybody has seen far red take off the grow cycle? I hear around a week, but is 2 weeks possible? The 00 Blueberry is really looking past halfway (last pic is closest on the right), and I wasn't thinking halfway until this weekend which would be 5 weeks since flip

Very nice! looking good.

How are you going to harvest 4 different strains in scrog?
They all have different flowering time, no?


I have 3 plants and I am planing on scrog too.
I thought about having the short flowing strain in the front of the tent so it will be easy to get out of the scrog.

BTW if you can resize your photos... 5 and 8 mega photos is loading very very slow.. you don't need more than than half mega if you resize them to 2000 pixel wide.

The earliest flowering strains up front if your tent doesn't have doors in the back. The old tent does, the new tall tent does not. Though I did not need to, the earliest strains ended up being at the front door. 00 Blueberry front right, Seedsman Alaskan Purple front left, Seedsman White Widow back left, Female Seeds Bubblegummer back right (wasn't supposed to be in there if you read farther back).

White Widow and Bubblegummer both hybrids with a decent amount of sativa in them.

Great, thanks. I have only front door, small 2X2X3 tent.
I have 4 strains WW, GSC, Aurora and PK, that wasn't the plan, I started with bad soil and 3 WW tries didn't survive so I made an experiment with different soil and found out that the soil was bad (empty) and now I am with 3 extra beautiful plants looking for a home ha ha.
Total of 8 plants, 32 days old now.

So I made a second micro grow space and it holds 1 GSC fem and 1 Aurora fem.
I wanted to experience micro grow also, and the space will be for the cuttings in the future.
In the main tent I want to go with the WW fem, GSC and Aurora.
And I have 3 PK plants that I don't know if they are females... in my previous grow I had an hermie so I have a lot of PK seeds.

I need to find what to do with them... 3 nice pk plants.
I can find a place at home but it will not be ideal so I will get them into flower and see.
Its hard to throw away a nice plant even if you are not sure its a female, but I don't want to take a chanse in the tent and waist an expensive space...
