Indoor First Grow 2x4 Tent 600 W HPS

Thanks bro! CBD's is def where it's at. I plan on including high cbd strains in our own recreational supply as well. This would be an excellent way to PREVENT cancer, diabetes, obesity, etc.

Really liking the stats on the blue blood for this purpose as it has a higher THC vs CBC ratio. Meaning we should still get "high" in addition to the medicinal benefits. Based on my research CBD counteracts THC so if you have a 1:1 ratio strain like the CBD Crew Critical Mass you shouldn't get high and you should only experience the medicinal effects. At least this is what I've concluded so far. There's tons of conflicting info out there though.

Listen bro if your going for cbd's, you don't need to let him smoke it. You need to veg the cbd photos and pick the leaves off the plant and juice them for him! You lose lots of cbd's by setting it on fire. Cbd's can be vaped at about 365 degrees and thc is a little higher than that. And plus you could start the cbd treatment fairly quickly. But cbd isn't gonna make the cancer go away! That's the thc's job! I can teach you how to make the RSO (hemp oil) if you don't already know!
 
I had the same issues when I was using that rigid ducting. You can hear the wind just ripping through the entire thing, I had to tear mine down and figure out another way for stealth reasons. As long as its just a nuisance and not an immediate threat to security then it doesn't really matter haha. Earplugs would be a worthy investment for sure :thumbs:

Acoustic ducting should help

Already a step ahead of ya :) We're definitely planning on making juice for him.

I have been studying the RSO process pretty closely. I recently made a small practice batch of ISO hash. The process is actually very similiar to what I plan on doing to make my RSO but with a skillet to keep it liquid and top quality flowers. The hash I did end up with was quite impressive. It was probably close to a gram from just a few handfuls of trim and leaves lol.

All I did was filled a mason jar with the dry trim/leaves after I put it through a food processor to chop it up fine. Then I filled it with 91% ISO (best I could find locally). Shook it for about 30 seconds. Then I covered it with a coffee filter. Screwed the lid of the top. Strained into a Pyrex glass container. Left it to evaporate overnight in a hot water bath with a fan blowing on it.

I had a few issues. First, it had a hard time straining through the coffee filter. I ended up tearing it slightly which caused some plant material to make it through. Secondly, the fumes even from a small amount of ISO were more than I anticipated so I opted to air evaporate in a hot water bath vs speed drying it on an electric skillet. The next day it was completely evaporated but very hard to scrape out. I ended up with a very hard black ball of hash. I know I could've reheated the dish to make it softer though.

This was just a small test batch. I plan on tinkering around a bit to find the best approach for me before I'm ready to make him a syringe of oil. I've studying tons of ways to make it online but id be very interested in your method as well.

Thanks for all the help bro!
 
Hey guys,

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! :D Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. Life’s been getting pretty crazy lately with the holidays coming up and the many other issues we’re facing right now. We’re making it though. Not sure how we would be if it wasn’t for the excellent medicine I’ve been able to grow with the help of all of you guys.

My main problem right now is supplying us enough. We are going through insane amounts compared to when we bought our own. We’re averaging about 4oz per mo between my wife, myself, my father in-law and a few other family members who smoke occasionally. We used to go through an ounce a month. Needless to say I need to produce as much as possible especially if I’m going to be able to supply us with our regular meds and her father with RSO.
I’ve been struggling to create a perpetual setup. You’d think having multiple tents running perpetual would be easy but it only makes things more complicated lol. I feel like I’m really starting to get unorganized. I’m struggling to keep track of each plants feedings/waterings/flowering/veg etc. I have so many different plants at different ages plus many different strains which can complicate feedings. On the other hand my plants seem to be doing better now than ever before. I really overfed/over watered before when I tracked each feeding/watering like clockwork. I wish there was an app or something for this lmao. Any suggestions on how you guys track these things?

I think the hardest part about creating a steady perpetual is creating a steady supply of veg plants, so that’s what I’ve been focusing on lately. I now have 11 plants total in flower, 6 plants vegging in 1 gal, 20+ small clones vegging in Dixie cups, and about 9 clones that have already rooted in my cloner.
I’ve also been focusing on growing larger plants. The hardest part about this is vegging them long enough. I’m struggling with this for a few reasons likes limited veg space, slow growth rates (maybe due to T12’s vs MH), strain knowledge, and mainly patience. Its hard not to move a plant into flower when your jars start running empty lol.

In order to grow larger plants I’ve begun transplanting from 1gal to 3gal during veg, and then into 5gal buckets for flower. I tested this with 2 plants recently, a wild thai and agent O. I’m really loving the results so far. Unfortunately I’m running low on soil and I’d rather continue to recycle my current soil until jan/feb when I can afford to build a good high brix or at least super soil and use 7gal smart pots vs 5gal plastic buckets. Plus I really want to move to organics. So in the meantime I’m going to continue to veg in 1 gal and flower in 3 gal. Ironically I’m accidentally doing a 3gal vs 5gal flower pot comparison with my two wild thai’s.

Anyways on to the grow update:

I recently received my seed order from Herbies. I mainly ordered strains to try and help my father in law with his liver cancer. I only ordered 1 feminized seed of each strain because we didn’t have a lot to spend, we wanted to have a good selection for him to try, and my germination/clone rates have been excellent so far. I ordered CBD Crew’s Critical Mass, Medicann Blue Blood, and Medicann Bubba Kush. Mainly I think the Crit Mass or Blue Blood will be best for his cancer. I planted all three of these seeds in Dixie cups last night. Fingers crossed for a quick successful germination. In addition to these seeds I also received a few freebies of course. Those include Northern Lights x Skunk# 1 and Kerala X Skunk. These will have to go in the stash can for now because I’m now up to 9 strains total with these new med strains!

My flower tent is finally starting to fill up. I’ll try to sum up what I’ve got going.

1. Blue OG – About 7 weeks, flushing, took a test branch last night that’s drying now
2. Ultra Sour – Also about 7 weeks, flushing
3. Blue Thai – About 5 weeks
4. Dinachem – About 5 weeks
5. Agent “O” – About 5 weeks
6. Agent “O” – 1 week, 5gal
7. Wild Thai #2 – 1 week, 5gal, still need to sex, clones are showing pistils but not mother
8. Lemon Thai Kush – yesterday
9. Wild Thai #1 – yesterday, still need to sex, clones are showing pistils but not mother
10. Berry Ryder Auto – yesterday, hermie seeds, very small plant that has been flowering in the veg tent for about a week
11. Blue Cheese Auto – yesterday, hermie seeds, very small plant that has been flowering in the veg tent for about a week

My veg tent is just a jumble of clones/veg plants of each of these strains. I do plan on building a wooden shelf for my veg tent sometime this week. I’m hoping to divide it into 2 sections, one for large plants/mothers and one for small plants/clones/seedlings. This should help give me more space/time to veg larger plants. Little concerned as I’ll be using treated wood but I think it should be ok.

I’m also still considering moving my veg tent out of the 4x8 flower tent. Then I would use T12’s in one 4x4 flower section and my 600 watt HPS in the other 4x4 section. I would move plants under the HPS after 4 weeks of flowering under the T12’s. I may just wait for Xmas money to buy a new HPS or maybe even an LED J

Well that’s about it for now. Sorry for the HUGE post lol. Works been super slow and there’s so much to tell. Please feel free to comment or make suggestions. Thanks again for all of your guys’ help!
