Indoor zaQs tent (12 Plants)

I bought a Power Plant, SUPERHPS600w, have to say there's very little heat build up from it. I have one fan in the room and the hottest the room gets is 28 degrees and that's with the lights running 24/0. I know how you feel about the more, I just set up this grow, I'm already planning on adding another 600w HPS for my next grow and I'm getting a 250HPS and a tent from a guy who's leaving the country soon enough. So for my next grow I'll have 1700watts between HPS and CFL. (250cfl, 1450HPS)

Right now I think i got good air circulation and my temps are around 23-24c under the leafs in the shadow. If my meter get hit by the radiant light it kicks up high. But if I install a bigger extractor i can open up my tent more so more air from the kitchen get sucked in so i guess heat wont be a problem. I also have a built in thermometer so I can adjust the heat.

The main reason to add an extra 400w is so i can give my plants bigger room to grow at. And of course get some more lumens.
 
You should maybe look at some of the LED panels. I've seen a couple of grows on here using them that were really impressive. The 250w LED puts a 600w HPS to shame hands down. Never saw anything like the buds on these plants and there's no heat build up. They can literally be touching the buds. Its a bit more expensive but you don't have to change out bulbs every 2 grows so I guess it works out.

Yeah i've been thinking and reading about L.E.D but that just fucks with my brain. You have to pay serious money for good LED panels, not chinese shit.. And from experience I know what HPS can do for buds :)

My plan is just to grow in the autum, winter and early spring. Cant hold temps in the winter. And also I soon having my GF moving here. WTF? I have half the kitchen with a big grow tent. Where she can work and hang out with friends lol? So I Will downgrade to a 120cm L x 60 cm W x 180 cm H tent later after next or the grow after that.. just do 600w or then maybe someone can show me what LED to buy :)

shit my english is bad. but im happy i dont live in a english speaking country :P
 
Your English is fine zaQ. Don't worry about that my friend! Seems to me it's better after you've been testing fresh herb. So keep growing and your English will be polished in no time!

5 Weeks from seed.

Today, 5 week ago I started my first auto grow ever. And from yesterday im a member of the 1000W HPS CLUBS. It feels like I have been member of the "Mile high club". As I wrote to you before i upgraded my system with a new extractor.

Im a bit worried about temps so now im draging in cold air from outside to see how it goes. It takes long to get dialed in how your grow environment works etc.. I had 30.8C before taking in cold air from outside.. Now im just waiting to see what the temp will read later. I added an extra fan (not showen on pic) to blow at the 400w HPS cooltube. That 400w is hotter then my 600w HPS for some reason.

I have to stay up and look how cold my temps will go tonight in the tent because its about 0c outside now... Maybe have to unplug every night, zzz.

Today i gave them the second dose of bloom nutes. Gave sensi A+B at 50% of dosage. Big Bud at full and Voodoo Juice at the same.

Today i started to see that some leaves turning yellow, I guess this is normal because its now in full flower. My PH run of is about 6.5-6.6 after todays watering with nuts, but I guess I need to read again after i water with PH water only later this week. Its normal that plants shows yellow leafs when they are in flowering mode...


I just had my Iphone (pics are EXIF CLEAN) so the quality is there after.

Welcome to the jungle

5 Weeks and 1 day from seed :) I know pics aint the best but my tent is now filling up. I guess I will see some fat colas in 4-5 weeks.

Cured and ready for Xmas. Only problem now is the temp, with 1000w. Im about 28c-29.5c. But they looks nice. The bottom leafs has turned yellow on the most plants but I guess thats normal so, we'll see what I will end up with.

I Will give you a line up shot this weekend.

when the lady moves in with you, why not reappropriate a cupboard or closet to make a grow room?
