Week 6 (Transition Week)

11-06: We had a four hour power outage today. I was fortunate enough to have dried the grow room out from the recent flooding rains (where's Noah?). After resetting the electric light timers, we are back on schedule.

11-07 Day 52:

11-10 Day 55:
Today was a big day for the indoor grow. After many hours of strategic thinking, I played musical chairs with the plants, moving them around to best utilize my 5x5 tents and the SF4000 lights. I also needed to put these ladies into flower, but I needed to keep the small 2x4 tent for cloning and germinating other varieties. Deciding to finish out the mother and aunt plants created a hurdle, but they will soon be harvested and create much needed space.
Tent #1 - 5x5 w/ SF4000 x 2 Lights (900w total)
5g pots - moved these four ladies in with their mother and aunt into the 5x5 #1 Tent (see picture above). I plan on harvesting the mother and aunt plants in the next couple of weeks, which will be just in time to place more 3g pots in with the 5g and open some space in the #2 5x5 tent (see picture above).
@popcornsutton,
Sorry for the late reply. These lamps will max out at around 60k LUX at 100%. I'm actually running two of the SF4000 lights in one of the 5x5 tents. I have also looked at changing my lighting to the Spider Farmer G or SE series bar-style lights. It seems they are more popular among many of the successful growers I follow on social media. The SF4000 lights would be perfect for a 4x4, but not quite good enough (in my opinion) for the 5x5 tents. They will have to do for now, since the upgrade for both tents would be around fifteen hundred.
Great grow!
Cover top soil with cutten grass, wood chips, any thing organic to increasy root, maximize the potencial of your soil !!
Anyhting that make the top moist, and slow release anything or make a home for the microorganisms....
@Psilocubensis,
You would do this with Coco Coir? I try not to add anything that might bring in disease or pests from outside. I also use cloth pots to keep the soil well drained. Coco Coir should be treated as Hydroponic in the sense that you are maintaining the nutrient balance and PPM ratios, testing the excess water/feed that flows through the cloth pots, into the tray.
