Indoor 4 Separate Strains under CFL and T8's
- Thread starter Springa
- Start date
A few pics of the tent after some more tweaking. The temps started at 91 when I first got the tent. That was with an inline 400/cfm fan and carbon filter blowing back into the closet from outtake ( doors open room door shut ). I had two passive intake flaps hardly open. 22 cfls at true 23 watts each (100 eqiv ) and 6 T8's at true 32 watts each will put off some heat from their ballasts. The T8's are great for side light but I can do away with them for now. I would rather make the trade off with lower temps and much more room. I was able to pick up a 200 watt CFL and hood for $50! Brand new. Local shop was feeling friendly ( looking to land my business )! I was able to pull out 10 23 watt cfl's. I loose a few watts but I gain in space and lower temps. I also ran the flex duct from the carbon filter into the attic with fan. Much better on noise. I pulled all three passive intake flaps up and secure but I have added two fans to each intake opening. A third 6" fan blows at ballast height on the remaining 12 23 watt Cfl's. My temps are running at 82 with the tent fully closed and closet door. The sides of the tent are sucking in from the fan. I m gonna keep working to get them down to 79. My whole grow has been at 82 to 84 at times. So I can live with the temps. The RH as dropped too much for veg. 47%. That's great for flowering and does well for hang drying but hurts my several week old autos. Look at the pic of these cool light hangers. They are pull up or push down locking 30" hangers. great for auto's and 2.99 a pair. They can be found in any " As seen on T.V." section of many popular retailers. Online I would imagine as well. So I feel much more secure in the tent. I have managed to down size a plant that is in dark for the next 2 days and should be all harvested within three weeks for my remaining 3 auto's. Then I will just have the Big Bang and Auto Bomb to work with. They will be flowering then. I'll start a few for the DWC setup a few weeks after that. Their small enough to not hurt me on space. The tent looks much better than when I first started. The New 200 watt CFL is huge. Like 4" around and 10 to 12" long.

love how oyu cleaned up and upgraded some lights bro.
no need to worry about losing some lights for better temp.
ill trade in some lights for less heat stress any day.

Set up looking good Springa!!:thumbs:
The tent has been closed for the last 8 hours. I checked the temp every few hours. I just checked and the temp was 79! I could never get that in my closet unless the closet door was open and running 73 for ac.. Issue is with a RH of 45%. I will have to add water in some fashion.
Here is a pic of some side branch buds. Overall I got around 16 grams from the side. The Cola comes down in a few.

Well, One out of 4 girls was chopped this eve. The Auto#1. She came in at 10% amber trichs just under the 65 day seed bank estimate at 61 days from sprout. Very fast. Under better growing condition she should yield double what I'll get. The side branches came off two days earlier and are all ready for jars soon. The side branches yielded something around 16g's. The main stem tonight will be nice to see when it drys. Hoping for a decent weight.
Here are a few pics of the main.

nice frosty looking harvest springa.
how much was dry weight for the whole plant?
16gs for side branching is a nice yield my friend -- update us on the whole yield if you dont mind.
65 days is also pretty fast -- nice job bro.

Ill have a total dry weight within the week if all goes well and a break down of the plant. Thanks for checking it out.
Quick update on the Auto#1. All told the buds went into jars last night. I pulled 48.8 grams dry. I can live with that. Here are a few fast pics showing some of the yield. Much has been consumed! I will have a complete report within a few days. Pics could have been better!
