Hi AFN.
I'm TwoTents. I am currently the gardener for 2 autoflowet tents. I have been asked to come and care for these babies and so I am. Upon arriving here the set up was all wrong . Temperatures we're +35c, inadequte fresh air, no feeding, poor watering, pests galore. I'm surprised the bloody things lived.
So Ive been getting the set up more suitibale and here is what I currently have:
There are some things which Im currently doing which I don't want to be, but I can't change everything at once.
They are currently being planted in Bat mix from seedling till harvest and also get repotted. Start of in 4" pots and finish in 11L pots.
I will be changing this to not reporting and light mix when I can.
They weren't getting feed so I am following Tang's easy feed schedule but experimently altered due to bat mix.
So I things I'm still struggling with are:
We're should I have my thermometer? When they are in small pots, I rest the thermometer on top of the pots under the light as direct as I can. I do this because there is no shade in the room at that stage and the plants would experience this heat(?)
My temps can still get up to 31-32 sometimes and I don't know how I can bring it down. I have a smart CO2 bag in there so hopefully that helps. Im limited for fresh air in the room.
The room only has one small window so created two 5 inch holes through the cavity wall directly outside. One of them is for a passive intake one of them is for my cool tubes. Would I benifit drawing the cooler air from outside directly into the tent rather than the cool tubes? I try and raise humidity in veg to bring temps down but again it's also not hard as my exhaust is so powerful. I can only achive 40-50% constant humidity and peaks when I spray in there.
I'm spraying neem oil and I have whitefly. Do white fly start as minute larve on the underneath of the leaf? That's what I originally had, and they leave white/silver looking marks all over the leaf. Since starting with neem I notice a lot more flying insects (whitefly) of much bigger size and don't really see the smaller things on the underneath of the leaf.
I also have some plants that their leaves have holes in them and the edge of the holes are yellow like a nutrient of dificeny problem. I'm pretty sure it's no pests (certainly not what I've had before)
I appreciate it if you go this far: big read.
Hopefully some.of you can chime in with any hints, advice etc.
Hope to see you all here more often.

So Ive been getting the set up more suitibale and here is what I currently have:
- 2*2 m Tent.
- 3 Hps bulbs in 5 inch cool tubes and 5 inch intake fan.
- Exhaust fan which is more than powerful enough and creates negative pressure on the lowest setting.
- 3 passive intakes covered with a cloth, each sat in water to bring up humidity.
There are some things which Im currently doing which I don't want to be, but I can't change everything at once.
They are currently being planted in Bat mix from seedling till harvest and also get repotted. Start of in 4" pots and finish in 11L pots.
I will be changing this to not reporting and light mix when I can.
They weren't getting feed so I am following Tang's easy feed schedule but experimently altered due to bat mix.
So I things I'm still struggling with are:
- Heat
- Unhealthy looking plants
- Pests
