There's a Black Dog in my Jardin: mc130p's horticultural adventure

mc, how do you like that secret jardin tent? I'm considering getting the 3 x 3 x 7 Twin

Hey captain,

That's funny, I originally ordered the Twin off of ebay, but the seller screwed up and sent me the dr90 instead of the dr90Twin. Because of that, I eventually ended up getting a DP90 3x2x2 propagation tent too, but I haven't even taken it out of the box yet because I don't really know what kind of lights I will use in it. I like the tent though- the material feels heavy duty and it doesn't leak light. Some people complain about the plastic corners, but they seem sturdy enough to me. I really wanted the Twin though because I liked how it was set up.

Just bought a 3 x 3 Twin off Amazon used with expedited shipping for $100.

After a long summer and fall of too much heat and death, things are finally looking up.

I so need to upgrade my LED.

Glad your garden is getting better. Good luck with the rest of your grow.

Holiday update: things are still going well; got the BD240 and the DS100 on them now.



Oh and you can still see the remains of the failed party cup, lol.

Here's a weekend update:

Hey everyone, so I thought I'd tell you all the strains and about what I'm using for nutrients. The big one on the left is unknown, it was a fem freebie that I sprouted when it was still too hot, but she was hardy and lived while others died. Now on to the small pots: The front left is Humboldt Trainwreck (freebie), the back left and front right are either Humboldt Green Crack or Sour Diesel (freebies) and the back rear, smallest girl is a Barney's Farm Liberty Haze. They are all basically receiving 12/12 from seed, though the Trainwreck did get to veg for about a week. Next time, I will only do 2-4 larger plants in the small clay pots.

For nutrients, the large plant gets 1.2 mL/L Cal-Mag+ and yesterday I have started alternating 1/3 strength 10-52-10 with 9-9-9. The small girls are currently getting 0.9 mL/L Cal-Mag+ and 9-9-9.

Here's a bedside view of the sleeping girls:



I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Here's a quick update on the girls: They're all still growing nicely. The one in the back looks a little over-watered. The big girl is starting to get a good number of trichromes as well. Sorry, the light was on for a while and I didn't want to turn it off for the pics. Next time I'll get them right before lights on and I will definitely only do two girls.

Hey everyone,

Here's a new update: the girls are all still doing nicely. A nice smell is really developing in the tent as well.

unknown fem:

Trainwreck, Green Crack, Sour Diesel, Liberty Haze:

Hi everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend! Here's a quick update on the girls: They're all still coming along nicely The big girl is really getting frosty...

Hi everyone,

Here's a midweek update: The girls are all still slowly progressing, though the big girl is getting exciting!! However, she seems to be a little on the hungry side. I have only been using the reds on the DS100, the BD240U is doing a great job so far

Did some rearranging in the garden today:



So, now we have the large unknown fem on the left, Sour Diesel on in the front clay pot, Green Crack right behind it, Liberty Haze in the plastic pot on the right, and TrainWreck in the way back. The TW and LH are really getting a lot larger than I anticipated, they just kind of kept vegging out after being put on 12/12. It's not really a problem so far as it seems like everyone is getting enough light, just unexpected. The big girl looks like she's needing me to boost up the cal-mag a little, just upped it to 1.4 mL/L from 1.2, but overall she's looking pretty good, imo. I'll get better pics on Sunday; have a nice weekend!!

Hello everyone, here's a weekend update:

Hey everyone,

Here's a midweek update:



The girls are all still doing well. I'm starting to see the first few pistils turning orange, but the big girl is still flowering heavily and getting fatter every day. It's getting mighty frosty in there too

Happy Friday!

Hi everyone, here's a post-weekend update:



The girls are still coming along nicely. I hope the big girl finishes up in the next 2-3 weeks, it seems like the others will probably come along one by one starting several weeks afterward.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you're getting ready to have a nice Xmas

It's Christmas Eve! Haha, even though I'm old, I still get excited on this night

Here's a pic of the girls:

Your plants are getting nice and thick buds man! Hey by the way how'd the LSD turn out?
