.... Welcome homies!Time for a new thread, with both outdoor and indoor action,.... My outdoor season was looking to be canceled, but another late opportunity opened up, so I have a spot to grow at a different friends place! Prior to this, I got my first legit tent in May, along with a new chance to run auto's after a long miserable no-grow break...
... The tent is actually outside, in a small courtyard under the eaves.... it's a Growneer 4 x 2, looks to be fairly good quality.... Lights are AutoCOB's and a DIY 2 COB unit a friend converted for me made from a dead eShine unit (Platinum knock-off)... AutoCOB's are 3500K and 4000K switched as needed, and the other is all 3500K....
... under the bottom liner, I slipped a styro' foil panel for insulation...
.... 
... And a wee heater unit to keep things warmer at night/lights out, since it's in the 50's typically....
...nice unit, with the critical thermostat and low setting! It even moves back and forth if needed- 
>>> Other must-have equipment includes a TDS meter, pH, and the trusty Accurate 8 soil pH probe! I recently did a comparison test with it against a slurry test... Basically results showed all were within 0.2 of each other-
... Bottom line point here: monitoring and prevention are way-T-F better than monkey-humping with in-pot corrections! ...
>>> Nutes and supplements... always a mixed bag there! This time, I'm running mainly Greenleaf Nutrients Megacrop, with a couple bloom boosters when appropriate: Open Sesame (FoxFarms) and GLN's Bud Explosion... the former is higher P/mid' K for early to mid-late bloom, the latter is mid' P/high K for finishing,... I was given a sample of Atami Bloomtastic (0-14-15) plus other goodies, so that will get slipped on occasion since the others are very high PK#'s!
Rather than list, here's pics of what's in the "kitchen", used as deemed wise,...
>>> more coming later on soils, strains, pics, comments about things that have happened,...:smoking:
...you sniffed me out rather quickly,...
... I'm fizzing about it too, especially the tent part, which is new to me,... I figured it was just compense for not being able to do my usual client run outside this year, but a last minute nod from some gracious mates upped my stoke big time! 
,... then Royal Gold King's Mix- 
... the ones in Kings Mix are doing great! The pics will tell it all,.... Also, it was at transition that the yellowing out really kicked in,.. 10 days ago that Sour Livers looked OK, nice and green, but in 36 hours time, went funky....
...... The Female seeds were balky during germ', so I fired off some stunt doubles just in case,...but only one misfired, the rest were OK,... I kept the Outdoor Grapefruit, and the others were adopted 
... the gnats were starting to go nuts, so I brewed a Bti tea with mosquito granules, and did a spray with spinosad when they were about 1 week,... turns out, that fucking spray went sour (never had that happen so fast) and it fried the cotyl's,... first leaves were OK, but still damaged the newest forming leaf tissues, so they emerged fragg'ed out, even had to top the SBB,...I figured stunt-city for sure, if they made it at all.. but they ground it out! Meantime I fired off another 
..... up the learning curve I go- 
.....that orange diesel is winking my medical eye....
