Tent Questions

Hi all...I didn't see anything specific on tent set ups and so forth...

So I'm going to sticky this thread for any questions and answers that you members with tents, can answer...

Also, if you have any pics of how your tent is set up, please post them...Pictures say a 1000 words...:thumbs:
Basically, as far as pics go, mostly looking for how yours is set up...Not so much about the plants...

Thanks for your cooperation and I hope this thread gets the attention that new tent buyers, like myself, can gain some info...:peace:

Can you clarify what type of lights you were using? I see some LED bulbs… What kind are those-where did you get those? They don’t look like the kind of LED bulbs that are designed for growing. I think you may be relying on lighting that will disappoint you a little further down the road.

And what is a white flood 300wt? Are you using a flood light for growing?

I assume hes trying to grow on a budget and everyones gotta start somwhere. Them bulds are not ideal but I know guys that grow with cfl bulbs only and do alright. But the three things I focus on are genetics, light, and medium. Your setup will grow and upgrade over time like mine did. It takes time.

Touché. Good point.

But upgrading becomes addicting as well lol. And some things I could actually do without but they help. I have winter lights and summer lights. Thermastat controlled heat and more nutrients than I can use. But its a hobby for me and im always looking for a edge over the competition. But alot of people underestimate the complexity of growing good quality stuff. And you get out what you put into it.

Ok, Tyler, 918, the LED's - home depot, pic below. Wasn't sure about them, had the seeds already after being delivered couple weeks before.
Soil- miracle grow mix with a local friend of mines wife's swear by compost!
LED ( flood light)- sorry kinda worded it fast, it's a corn cob led I believe, 300 watt bulb, which I seemed would fit sufficient with the grow bulbs,I figured it would be ok for mimicking the daylight I need, I have posted a pic of the package below for you guys to check out, and say dude are you nutts!?!?! Or I dunno how you got that sh$t to work. But it's not enough, the bulbs are only nine watts a piece, well two types the smaller look regular bulbs, that are six, and the bigger bulbs are nine, with all I have a total of like 410 watts, little on the low side right?

Dude please tell me you kept the receipts for all those lights. You seriously need to return them and use that money to get a GROW light. Not all LEDs were meant for indoor horticulture applications.

That 300 watt bulb is 38 actual watts. Im actually in awe of what you’ve been able to do with those lights!

Yea you cant go by the rated watts you gotta go by actual watts used my 400watt cob leds run at 240watt and the 300w panels run at 140watt. Them lights are not true full spectrum. You def need to invest in a actual grow light panel or cob led. They will pay themselfs off with the first harvest. I use roleado/galaxyhydro and cree cob led they have the best full spectrum for the price and last along time. Thats why your plants are stretching and have thin stems they are asking for more light. And id switch to fox farm happy frog and ocean forest. Or go organic. You dont need to compost thats why your plants are dark green and nitrogen rich. You'LL get the hang of it if your on a budget go hps lights their cheap but heat is a issue unless you run cool tubs.
 
Yeah I figured, and now I'm gonna really busy your bubble, I just got the 300- oops 38 watt'er two days ago, slam bam Sam. Lol, I'm a farmer by profession, I'm only 33, but Been around growing my whole life. I own ,and custom grow and harvest wheat, oats ,corn, and soy by trade. Maybe it's in my blood, but any ways that light is 38 actually watts, then what are the others??? So your telling me I grew this stuff with ,ummm , like , not even 50 watts, I'm not worried about the lights cost now. I figured it wasn't something great or even close, I do alot.of reading and never seen one of those in a tent. So my reason for doing so.....I couldn't explain. I didn't wanna spend on big lights now, due to up coming farm seed purchases, and I didn't wanna by a cheaper brand, not after hearing you guys talk about all the "fake" lights sold.out thier. These could be those ,but Im not thinking so, just not mention for what we do. 918 thanks for being a big bro, and trying to starighten my arse up though
 
I'm sure the smartest move I have made yet is joining this place....BIG THANKS AFN
 
I think what we’re saying is that those fake grow lights, which are really just Chinese copies, will grow significantly better cannabis than the lights you are currently using.

But hey-why not see what happens with what you’re currently using? It sounds like you have a lot going on and probably don’t have the spare time to put a lot of energy into building a state-of-the-art grow space.

At the end of the day, I say if you get home from work or whatever and walk in to check on your plants and they make you smile, then mission accomplished. FTW and their rules.

I figured after, let's go get another 15$ dollar light it's still not enough, I was not having enough watts, I've read the whole actual watts with LED's before , I guess I wanted light so bad I was missing the part of the box I should have been reading, or taking that it only uses that .....actually guys why does it say that
? Please learn me...
