Grow Room 2x4 tent and lights required

[Cookiemonster69]

So four autos in 4sqft under a 450w lamp bigger than the tent itself?

I'm not doubting you, that's an impressive 140g per square foot but I need more pics! Curious as hell

The light actually sits inside the tent PERFECTLY.

You can see I also kept it very close. I know the light needs to penetrate that thick folliage.

I didn't top only LSTd. What happened was you see where popcorn nugs are supposed to be... There weren't any popcorns, there where fully thick azz COLAS sites just sitting there! There weren't any space for space between the colas, it was just colas after colas...

I think il have to send pics one by one sorry please bare with me

Bloody hell, 2-3000 PPM??? Are you sure this was not EC? Were you fertigating every time you watered, or just intermittently? Those concentrations sound really high to this newcomer.

The cardboard root separators sound perfect, and it sure seems as though it worked. Your 2x2 must have been absolutely plugged.

Yes it was 3000ppm! LOL I didn't know what I was doing I thoigh I just wanted my plant to eat all that nutrient, it's when a user from here told me most of its going to come out the run off on the next watering because my plant will only use so much... But I guess my plant DID get it's full amount it needed regardles..

And I don't know what fertigating is? I did feed the plant with nutes once a day.defoliated once a week

You did an amazing job in such a packed space

Fertigating is watering with a nute mix rather than just water. I am still shocked at the ppms you were using, but boy did it work for you.

That is one seriously impressive result mate. What size fabric pot is that?

Hi! The pots are called 'dulcii 6 pack 10 gallon pots' I bought off Amazon.

They did perfectly for autos, they didn't even become rootbound towards harvest.

And LOL! About the PPMs I cant say Eid it helped or hindered my grow... I can't claim it as a fact maybe I did infact shock it but yields where too good to notice.

I want to do another run in the 2x2, just to have a recorded diary on how this yield was possible.

But being yield hungry I've now decided to run 9 separate pots in a 3x3. I want to double my yields, hungry. I want to use the light just under its overkill levels.

But I always say one thing, autoflowers can use sunlight way way more than photos, you can just BLAST EM. And it won't start vegging unlike photos!

Now I'm thinking about two pots and six or 8 plants in my 2x4.

Your plants looked perfectly happy throughout, so they loved what you were doing to them. Spectacular job!

It worked fine once that light burned away the upper part of the temp....

They measure at full power from those given distances. Each one is a general guideline based on PPFD values needed to satisfy DLI. If you really wanted to know, a PAR meter and a wattage meter would let you tailor it your situation.

You can rent a PAR meter online https://www.podyourreef.com/product...rental-full-spectrum-underwater-quantum-meter

Then you can dim, raise, or do whatever you need to make the light work for you. Apogee has videos explaining DLI, PPFD, and PAR.

@damien50 - I'm pulling up an old thread here, but I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the light rental. Just wanted to confirm that this "underwater" meter is what I should be renting?

It has a conversion factor applied but it works exactly the same. Divide by 1.32 if you get the underwater sensor.

From Apogee

The MQ-210 and MQ-510 Underwater Quantum Meters already apply the immersion effect correction factor to the meter readings through the meter firmware. Additionally, the SQ-420 and SQ-520 have an "Immersion Setting" that applies the immersion effect correction factor to the sensor readings through the ApogeeConnect Software. These sensors do not need post-measurement corrections applied to their measurements.

Perfect - thanks!
