Indoor Copacabana, Muay Thai, Love Potion LED tent grow
- Thread starter MediScrogs
- Start date
Left to right: the SLP, Dinafem's White widow, and G13 Labs Pineapple express. Nearly 30 inches on the SLP and WW, about 38 inches on the PE. Easy to see the fullness from the heavy branching of the SLP compared to the other two. Lots of bud sites, should be a good yielder. Pineapple Express is FAST, seems a week or two ahead of the others. Smoked a lot of WW in high school in the 80's. A classic and I'm glad it's in the lineup. No shots of the Copacabana, gave it to a friend who has room outside where it should do real well. Very similar to your post though. Fan leaves were absolutely huge.
The rest are the SLP, that';s what we're here to talk about, some top down shots, couple sides, closeups of the forming buds, and a shot of the heat stress damage which really hasn't slowed it down. Two days outside really helped with the recovery, and after this post I'm gonna do a little trim and not look back.
I have to add that I use well water for my plants which leans slightly to the acidic side. Perfect! plus micronutrients that city water probably lacks.

Good stuff, 81camaro, looks like you're heading in the right direction. You've got enough info here for your own grow thread, for sure! I'd like to see them finish out nicely for you!
I hadn't thought of trying to stretch them out by raising the light...I need to think on that...any other opinions on this, guys?

I know the stretch idea goes against the grain a little, but i've got the height now with an 8 ft ceiling, and i've got the light to provide the penetration. After the second round bellied up and starting from scratch on my third, speed was important to me. I'm letting these grow straight up and down, no topping, fimming, supercropping, just to see what they do on there own. I like scrog, but with only a 3x3 footprint to work with, only 2 plants would have filled the space, and it would have been tight in there. I love the sideways box idea youre going with, and I worked under a 4 ft ceiling in scrog the first two rounds. Can you say a bit more about your light setup and how you're covering the 7x2 footprint?
I've started with a 300w old model Mars Hydro led. It was only like $70 bucks. I've got a Blackstar v2.0 full-cycle flowering spectrum 240w on the way here, should have it Thursday. It has more deep red and improved reflector instead of the viewing lenses on previous models, so it should cover 3x2, especially given that the growing area will be more horizontal with less height to have to penetrate.
The two lights together I would expect to cover about 5x2 or so. Ideally, I would get a third panel in there as things fill towards 7x2. The old panel has a spectrum that is less ideal, so my idea was for a constant harvest/planting cycle where a harvest and a planting happen every couple weeks or so, and the new plants can start under the old light.
We'll see how it goes.

They are about 11 1/2 days above ground now. Copa still cupping from what I assume was previously overwatered, but it growing along adding some height.

Here are some side views, camera not the greatest.
Copa, Muay Thai, and Love Potion.
Thanks again for your input and interest, everyone. Kind regards,

Hey Medi. Looks great. My copa was the same, the cupping. Could simply be the size of the leaves, they were the biggest of the bunch. There is an autoeuphoria grow here, exactly the same look, probably no worries. Rock on!
Cool, thanks 81camaro. The stem on the Copa was really starting to sport some wood, ha ha, and now it's really taking off. The stem on the Thai has been quite a bit flimsier, so it'll take a couple more days for it to catch up. They're all looking good.
It's been 4 days since watering. I finally got an air pump/stones so I can bubble my tap water before they get it tomorrow, I trust that can only help.
They do not appear to be asking for nutes, so I'm going to hold off until at least week 3 and see how they go.
Here they are on day 13:
Here's the Copa:
MuayThai:
And the Love Potion:
I'm very pleased with the grow so far, other than those 2 massive midgets being a no show no go.
I'm going to plant 3 new strains at the end of the week, I'm thinking SourBubbly, Devil Cream and Moby Dick XXL. They should all finish before the superautos do. I hope it all fits in there!
I've also got some old photo crosses I made 5 years ago that I gave to a friend before I left the area for work. He did not store them in the fridge like he should have, so I don't know if they'll go or not but they're within my plant limit so long as they don't flower or exceed 12" in height or width. They won't take any extra room at this time so I'll throw them in. If any pop, I might consider cloning them and flipping the tent to 12/12 at the end of this cycle, it might help the superautos finish their last two weeks anyways.
Thanks again for your input and interest. I'm having a blast so far, thanks
