Day 101 since being cloned.
I’ve always had a two tent set up. When I initially built them I made a 6’x4’ veg. tent, and a 4’x4’ flowering tent. Available electrical hardware at the time, and wanting to clone and do things in the tent, I thought I’d use the extra room. I’ve since learned clones like so little light that they can’t be in the veg. tent at all really. I had extra CFL tube lights heating the 6’x4’ in winter, and most of the tent was empty, until...:
I upgraded my timer, and a power bar, and have switched my tents. The 6’x4’ becomes my flowering tent, and my 4’x4’ flowering tent becomes my veg. tent. A good trade.
I have moved the yellow spectrum LED light bulbs over, to complement the standard full spectrum LED that I have in both tents, and the 4 total CFL tubes (2 warm, 2 cold). In general, there is about 550Watts of actual draw, but its spaced out in the tent. I have the CFLs and four yellow lights towards one end (the Black Indica end), and the main LED and some yellow lights towards the other end. I will rotate the plants through as they mature. The last two pictures attempt to illustrate the full tent.
Another thing to note is my oscillating fan broke, so for now there is no circulation. I only have the outtake vent. Thankfully its getting cooler in my basement. The temperature reading is slightly misleading, as the thermometer was sitting on the shelves under the canopy. I need to find a place for it, that isn’t on top of the lights, which would also be slightly misleading.
I recently fed veg. food so I will have to cool it a bit with nutes, just giving water for now. I will soon start the feeding schedule. Looking good, this plant really started to bush out and now will be hit with stretch. Next week is a flowering update! Really lovely green.
Oh ya, one of the few growers I see doing black rhino. Looking really good and I look forward to seeing them progress! (I'm only growing one BR and 3 GG#4's, but the BR is quickly becoming my favorite to watch grow)
Cheers and good luck!
