 5x5x7 1000w Dual Arc tent grow 
#592028 - 10/13/11 02:51 PM (13 years, 1 month ago) |

Just started some AK47 femmed seeds to use as mothers. As you can see the moms are in pots using a 50/50 peatmoss and perlite soilless mix.
I'm using the following equipment:
5x5x7 Secret Jardin tent
1000W Dual Arc bulb/ballast (400mh and 600hps in one bulb)
CoolStar plus air cooled reflector
6' Canfan & Carbon filter
18 site Hydro table from BC northerlights(not shown)http://www.bcnorthernlights.com/grow-kits/hydro18-table
3 part micro/grow/bloom from Advanced nutes, BudCandy and bigbud for flowering.
I vent out my window aswell as draw cool air in through 6' ducting. My temps where still up there, 29c, so i added a coolmist humidifier to the tent and it brought it down to 27c which is just right.
I won't update this thread for another 4-5 weeks, until i clone from the moms, so till then Happy growing!

lol wish i didn't have too either! Changed from micro/grow/bloom to sensi bloom A+B as base nutes for flowering, ends up being slightly cheaper than the 3 part, still from advanced nutes. Also i bought a miystic cloner from stealth hydroponics....after getting the thing i kick myself for not just making one lol, though it was only $68 on sale, but all it is is a 5 gallon tub with a misting unit in the bottom, and ofcourse 18 2inch holes in the lid for 2' pucks, no sprayers just a misting bubbler in the res, if it works well i know i can make one the same for about $25... check these pics...
gotta be the cheapest way to make a cloner i've ever seen   lol

Thanks, i really dig the dual arc bulb, when i grew in a normal room i always had a 400W MH going with a 1000W HPS for flowering, but when i switched to a tent i can only use 1 bulb due to heat build up, so the dual arc was perfect... I'm looking forward to this AK47, never grown it b4, i read it will flower fully in as little as 6 weeks.

Did you have to get a special ballast for the dual-arc bulbs, or will a regular ballast fire one up just fine? I'm curious to know how good those are...

The ballast needs to be a regular 1000w HPS, i use a switchable magnetic ballast with it, in HPS mode.

Ah, okay. I was hoping a MH ballast would work, but I guess not.  bummer, cause those are WAY cheaper. Lol

theres only about a $20 differance in price where i buy my stuff between a HPS and MH 1000w ballast....$179 for hps and $159 for mh... Still the dual arc gets rid of the need for a MH ballast and bulb for vedging... plus if your like me and prefer to have the entire light spectrum during flower then its a good deal in the long run, only thing is the only place i can get the dual arc bulb from near me runs about $100...still i think its worth it...

Yea, I feel ya. I can actually get a brand new switchable 1k ballast for $125, but I can usually find used MH ballasts for about $50-75... I'll probably end up just getting switchables, since they're more versatile in the long run...

Besides, I think i'd WAY rather go with straight MH for vegging rather than dual spectrum...

You right about that, its always better to have pure MH to vedge, i have a 400w digital ballast that will be running a mh and going into my clone/mom tent when i get it. but right now i only have my main tent so the dual arc will do fine to vedge the moms till i get my second tent up and running..i was planning to have both tents for this grow, but my financial situation didn't permit me to buy the second small tent yet...maybe next month

I really like that Dual arc bulb also!
I wish I had gotten a MH for veging, but I tried to do my grow within a budget. A budget I have already gone way over lols
I'm starting a new job next week which pays better, so maybe I'll be able to afford one on my next grow.
Looking forward to seeing your results!

Next time u can afford it u should sell your current ballast and buy a Digital 400w ballast, they run both types of bulbs, but they are a bit more costly but its worth it in a single light grow room.
Ya its never as cheap as you think it will be...but tis worth it in the end when you consider how much $$ u save when u don't have to buy your smoke. I don't even smoke that much anymore, i think i get more enjoyment from growing the plants and watching them mature. lol I just germinated 3 Lowryder2 auto flowering seeds to throw into my tent since my hydro table only takes up 1/2 the space, nvr grown any auto flowering seeds b4, i know the plants stay tiny but should be interesting....

I seem to have run into a small problem, two of my plants are drooping for no apparent reason, yesterday they looked fine, their not thirsty as i watered them with plain water at 6.5 PH. Yet this morning 2 of them do not look happy at all Anyone know if cold air could cause this? the ambient temp i n my tent is 24-28c but last night the temp outside dropped to -4c so the air intake was cold, but the tents temp nvr dropped below 24c. I was thinking since the cold air comes in from the bottom of the tent could it have just chilled these 2 plants closest to the intake? as the third plant seems to be ok at this point... anyways check the pics and let me know your thoughts.
thanks
Hemp
  
-=EDIT=-
Well after 6 hrs of the light being off the dang plants are fine again, lol weird, think i might have over watered them, luckily it was just PH balanced water with no nutes, so i guess they just needed some sleep to recover lol Sooo all is good in the world again....atleast my lil corner

Woot, congratulations dude!
Too bad no picture updates for awhile (I'm guessing). I'm watching though
--------------------
In order to grow good weed you need to be part carpenter, electrician, plumber, biologist, geneticist, chemist, and very willing to get dirty.
I've been working with power tools since I was 8, my dad is an electrical engineer who owned a 280 gal fish tank, and I studied biology with a specialty in genetics. Getting dirty comes naturally. I think my parents inadvertently trained me to be a weed grower.
See what you think on my first try.

Looking good HempMaster
I was just wondering what substrate you are using in your pots?
I figure next time I might try what you are using, before I try and do a full hydro setup.
----EDIT----
Just read your first post again.
50/50 Perlite & Peat Moss
Is it easier to look after instead of soil?

i think it is, but in all fairness i never have tried regular soil. lol but i never have to transplant, or mix soil with solid nutes or anything. you should try a small deep water culture setup next time, their pretty cheap for a 4 or 6 plant system... check this link out and you'll see how cheap they can be...DWC

thought i would do an update. I took 14 clones from my 3 plants, though right now it looks like 2 or 3 might not make it, time will tell, its my first time using a cloneing machine rather than rockwool and a dome. I also hung my 250w MH in the tent till the clones are ready as it produces little heat compared to the big 1000w, since the clones don't like it too hot.
General shot of the tent..
the three AK47 plants i took clones from
The clones i took...
Close up of one of the Iffy clones....it could bounce back!
another iffy clone...
these 2 looked like the previous pic's yesterday, so i'm holding out hope the others will bounce back.
Oh and a couple Lowryder2 auto seeds, i just thought i'd throw them into the tent with everything else...had three to start with but only 2 germmed...
Close up of Plant#1 its the largest&healthiest
Plant#2
Plant#3 the slowest growing outta the 3.
I also decided to buy a different cloner, one with a proper manifold and misters that does 36 clones at a time. Will share pics of it when it arrives. I plan on flowering the 2 smaller plants out of the three i took clones from, the largest and healthiest one i am putting under my 250w MH to keep vedging for clones until my Orange Bud moms are ready to give babies. Though no pics of my OB plants as my friend is seeding them and sexing out moms for me.
Hope you enjoyed!

Thanks man, took another 4 clones today, though that iffy one from the second pic doesn't look like its going to bounce back, but the others that looked bad are looking like they will, so i'm hoping to get 17 clones, 1 shy of filling my table. but the two in pots and them auto seeds will make up the difference.

Nice mix of strains your getting. though u might wanna get some non femmed seeds to get a stable mom for clones if you decide to go that way. thinking my next seed purchase will be lemon Skunk or Old Skool..not sure yet though, apart from my AK and Orange Bud i have Moroccan Black aswell. friend of mine has white rhino, think i may grab a clone or two from him to start a couple moms from... though not till i move into a place with more space...

The heavy duty Fruitys are unfemmed, and by the sounds of it will probably be something I wanna keep around.
How is it growing the AK strain.
Is it noob friendly? After watching your grow, it's dedinately a strain I wanna try.
My plants leaves are curling
It's probably heatstress as we have had some stinking hot days lately.
Today is raining and it still bloody hot, lol
Bought myself a cooltube, which will hopefully cool things down.

The Ak47 seems to be easy to grow, supposed to flower in 7 weeks or under, which is great for a plant that has 90% sativa genetics.

nice purchase on the cooltube, their great for cooling.
I find air cooling is a must in a tent when using MH/HPS lights, unless your using 250w bulbs. make sure you vent the hot air from the light into another room or outside if you can. i get a bit of heat stress in my plants now and then in the summer as my apt can hit 28c mid-day,and the dual arc bulb runs hot, even with my coolstar tube, though i have a crappy suncort inline fan in the ducting for my aircooling gonna buy a 6' canfan when i can afford it which will help for cooling..though i'll wait till spring since the winter has started here and my intake air will be freezing cold so i may not even need to have the air cooling on. lol

Can I just hook this cooltube up to my centrifugal fan and ducting? Or should I get an additional fan? What do u reckon? If I need anoter fan, I'll just get my carbon scrubber next week instead.

You should be able to hook up your inline fan to ducting and have that hooked up to the cool tube. Just note that the length/shape of your ducting, use of a carbon filer, and the size of your room will determine the size of fan needed.

thought i would post a small update, if anyone else was as skeptical as i was about that cloner i got , with just a mist maker in the res, today, day 8 of cloning 3 of the 15 clones in the unit showed real root formation, and the rest look like they will in the next few days. so it obviously will work. but it seems to be slower than my friends aero cloner, as his shows the same signs in about 4 days....can't wait to get mine.

Just thought i'd post a couple pics of the new aerocloner i got the other day, moved my clones into it today. 1/2 of the clones are now showing root growth. I also took 2 more clones from my #1 plant and added them into the new machine, wanna see if they root any faster than they did in my mist cloner...

Just thought i'd do a small update, i currently have 23 clones in my machine, out of the ones i first took, 10 have large enough root systems to transplant into my table, but another 5 will be ready in 4-7 days so i'm going to wait till i have 15 to break out the table and get it all setup. the other 8 clones i took just 4 days ago, and haven't seen actual root growth yet, though they stems are getting fat so it shouldn't be long now. I'll post a pic update when i transplant.

I think this time i will only vedge for a week, or until the plants are 8 inches tall, wanna see how much i can yield from smaller plants.
plus i'm going to throw a few clones into pots to use up the extra space in my tent, as the table only takes up 1/2 of it.

Thought i would so a small pic update of my clones....
I'm going to transplant the clones into the system tomorrow, here's a couple pics of the clones and root systems....
Top of clones....a few have actually grown about 3 inches since i put them in.
The root systems...as you can see most of the ones i had in my myst cloner have large root systems, and since switching to the aerocloner the clones have rooted faster, out the clones i cut 10 days ago most are showing good root development, enough that i can now fill my 18 site table, and put the rest in pots...
I'll do a larger update in a few days after i transplant.
hope you enjoyed!

Hi guys well today i transplanted 18 of my clones into my table, i still have 4 clones in the cloner that i will be putting into pots on the weekend. Plus the 3 moms and 2 auto lowryder plants currently in pots. I will have to vedge for about 10 days it looks like, don't want to switch to flower until all the plants root systems have reached the res, as it stands 12 of them have atleast 1 root touching the res, the rest are just out of the bottom of the net pots. Sorry for only a couple pics this update, but my camera's batterys died and the 1000w plays havoc with my phones camera(lots of black bars in the pics) so just the two pics till next update..
Oh and i am using AN micro/grow/bloom 3 part to vedge with, used 1/3 the recommended nutes in the res, roughly 300ppm in 10 gallons of water in the table, Ph'ed to 5.5
Table filled up
Moms and 2 auto plants...
thought i would add some shots of the auto flowering lowryder 2 plants..already starting to flower and even can see some tricombs forming!... pretty cool i must say, though their going to be TINY plants..
both are in one pot...
top of the right one.....
top of the left one...

Awesome. GL with your grow man
Looking at your last grow, you don't really need it, you obviously know what your doing. But a little extra mojo never hurt anyone
Also, I am really digging your table! Seems you've always got the coolest gear 
How much did the table end up costing you? I would love something like that in my repetoire, definately beats watering in pots!
And those roots look awesome. Is is just me? When I look at them, its as if i'm looking at the skeletons of fish lol

I bought the table as a kit, came with the table,2 400w lights, nutes, rockwool etc everything needed for 3 grows basically. cost me $1150 Canadian. It MORE than paid for itself after the first use. though i upgraded the lights to my current cooltube setup..
The only difference this time around compared to my last grow is no more rockwool, just going from cloner right into the Hydroton pellets, plus i changed nutes for flowering this time, last time i used micro/grow/bloom 3 part for the entire grow and added bud candy for flower. This time i'm using Sensi bloom A+B, plus bud candy,big bud and piranha for flower. I'm really looking forward to this grow, will be fun
Oh this is the place i bought my table from, check it out they have the coolest pre made grow boxes...think i may buy one of them in the future, their super stealthy but rather expensive.

Hi guys, I'm am switching to flower tomorrow, it it will mean i vedged for 9 days. the tallest plant is 8 inches and the smallest is 3.5 inches, but average height is 4 inches. This grow is basically to test fastest turn around time and yield for my table. I'm not expecting a large yield, but the quality will be there as always
Heres the left side of my Table, don't mind the color diff, its cuz of my camera. All the plants are actually the same shade of green.
Right side of the table...
As you can see the plants took to the table well, though you will notice in my following photos a few plants have white tips.. i'm still not sure why, as its only a couple of them, the rest look fine. the PPM is at 300 till i change it tomorrow, so i think it has to do with the existing dissolved solids in my tap water...I'm buying a table top RO unit next month, so i'm hoping it will solve my probs.
My feed tomorrow will be %30 the reccomended amount(due to average plant size) of Sensi Bloom A+B, as well as budcandy and Piranha. The big bud gets added week 2-5, piranha just the first 2 weeks and Bud Candy week 1-6
I am scheduling a 7 week flower, but we'll see how things go.
random plant in my table.
the largest one
My two auto plants..

just found out my Orange bud plants are being sexed now and one has already proven to be female, should have them here after the other 4 have shown male or female signs...though i'm reverting them back to vedge to use as moms from now on. I should get my new seeds this week, bought Dutch Passions Power Plant (really looking forward to that strain)and Nirvana's version of Lemon Skunk, plus attitude sent me 5 free femmed seeds and from the other place i got 5 free regular Mazar seeds, which is by far my favorite Indica strain out there. If i like the AK47 i'm doing this crop i'll by some regular AK47 seeds to get a good mom from and add it to my mother room.

he he, ya its in the top 5 of my hobbies, i don't even smoke alot of weed anymore.I mainly use it as a sleep aid these days. but i LOVE to grow man, just watching the plants do their thing, get nice and crystallized. very rewarding. Though it takes up alot of space, i live in a 1 bdrm apt, my tent is in my room and my moms/clones and vedge area is my storage closet. my bed is in my living room lol, but the power here is free and they have never done a apt check in the 2 years i've lived here so i'll suffer till i move into a house next year. The only real downside is when i date i cannot bring a woman home, i have to insist on going to their places for nightcaps...lol but i think that has more of an upside than downside..lol

yeah,it's among my top five too,next to fishing:-)You have more to work with than me.I live in an apartment,and the landlord,or maintenance man are always coming over to fix things,and they spray for bugs every few months,so I can't do much of anything:-(Yeah,I feel ya on the date thing,heck no one would no where I lived,or be allowed over,if I really had a nice place,and grew indoors;-)
ya having this as a hobby can be bad for your social life. lol especially if you live in a small space....in a house i can hide it np, in my apt, not so much LOL
they sprayed for bed bugs in my building like a 2 years ago, i'm sure their due to do it again in the near future. Which sux, atleast i know i can tear down my op and have it packed away in about 6hrs...and since any visits to my apt have to have 24hr notice i figure i'm ok....though i would hate to have to chop all my lovely lasies, still i'd do it in a sec LOL

Thankfully my apt is a house. I still get a little  . I just didn't have a social life to begin with so I decided to make the best of it.

In order to grow good weed you need to be part carpenter, electrician, plumber, biologist, geneticist, chemist, and very willing to get dirty.
I've been working with power tools since I was 8, my dad is an electrical engineer who owned a 280 gal fish tank, and I studied biology with a specialty in genetics. Getting dirty comes naturally. I think my parents inadvertently trained me to be a weed grower.
See what you think on my first try.

Just thought i'd do a little written update....
I just finished mixing my next feed.
I increased the Amount of nutes to 45% the advised amounts, heres the measurements...
62ml of Sensi Bloom A and B
31ml of Big Bud
31ml of Bud Candy
and i added 12 grams of Piranha.
ppm is 487
All this went into 9 Gallons of tap water, i will adjust the PH b4 i change the water tomorrow as the PH will rise slightly as the chlorine evaporates and nutes mix and stabilize in the water.
Will follow up tomorrow night with pics!

Hi guys, well i took some pics of the tent today, hope you enjoy!
Left side of the table. all the plants are doing well, Though i still have a small white tip problem...its can't be nute burn as the ppm last feed was only 360 ppm. Still it doesn't seem to affect growth, but it still bugs me...
right side of table
The Auto flower plants, they haven't seemed to grow too much, honestly apart from the fact they flower despite the light cycle i'm not too impressed....
My mother plants, i was going to keep one in vege but since my OB's are now sexed(got 2 fems out of 5 seeded) i don't need to use a femmed AK47 for clones for my next batch so all 3 are being flowered with the table..
you may noticed this one is on its side, well i squashed it by mistake last week and obviously broke some supporting roots, still it recovered quickly but i didn't bother staking it up and just left it as is...still shes doing great!
PPM this feed is at 487, will increase nutes another 15% next feed. Everythings looking good at this point. started to add the bid bud this week, last feed with piranha today though, which is good as that shits freekn costly...
Hope u enjoyed! till next week.

Just thought i would post a quick written update about the dual arc bulb...
Personally i think the dual arcs should be used in a vertical position rather than horizontal. this would give a better mix of the light being emitted from the 2 bulbs. As is there is noticeable better growth on the left side of the table versus the right. Mainly because the left side is getting more intense blue light than the right. We'll have to wait and see how this effects the final results, but from a first look i'd say use a parabolic reflector with a dual arc to get the best from both bulbs/Spectrum's.

WOW,looking good man,and autos do a lot better under 24/0,so that could be why they aren't growing as fast.They still look a heck of a lot better than my current miniature plants

Thanks man, i read optimum light conditions are 18/6 for these lowryder2 auto's if i want max height/yield, honestly i wasn't expecting much outta them and they where free seeds anyways. My first time trying auto flowering plants, don't intent to do them again unless i get more freebies...
Man my buddy just brought over my 2 Orange bud moms, man do those plants STINK of Orange/citrus, even in vege... can't wait to get those into the table for my next batch.. I'm feeling good about this current grow, think i'm going to get a decent yield even with flowering so small...from the looks of it, it seems like flowering at 6-7 inches in my table would give me best results. When i do the OB's i'll wait till all plants are atleast 6' to flower.
Hey Dr.G, you got a grow in the works? if so what u got goin on?

I see,I only tried growing autos a few times under 24/0.never got to finish the grows though,because the first time the three I had were males,then the second time the fungus gnats destroyed them from the roots:-(I'd like to give em a whirl again,outdoors this spring:-)But yeah,you will get a good harvest,by the looks of it:-)And I don't really have much of anything going on right now.My roommate wont allow it!Although I'm currently working on a Purple Skunk and White Widow cross grow journal,if you want to check it out:-)I really shine at outdoor cultivation,and last years plants topped out at 8 to 9 feet,Those were the tallest!This is just a little project to keep me from going mad through the winter:-)You van check it out in the grow journals,but don't expect much

Hi guys, its Friday here so that means water change and a Update! so this time i bumped up my nutes to 65% the recommended amount, here's the break down:
89ml of Bloom A+B
45ml Voodoo Juice
45ml Big Bud
45ml Bud Candy
10grams of Piranha
ppm is at 766 in 9.5 gallons of water.
the tent in all its glory!
the Table.
Left side
right side
Mothers, i trimmed off all the fan leaves on two of them but got lazy with the third. I also gave the plants in the table a major trimming, though that was on Monday so its kinda hard to tell now.. 
  
   
The autos...
  
Everything is going great, still have a few white tips but the voodoo juice seems to have cured this prob on the majority of the plants.
Hope you enjoyed! till next Friday!

day 21 of flower....
Another Friday, So another Update! i bumped up my nutes to 85% this week, here's the break down...
122ml each of Sensi Bloom A and B
61ml of Big Bud
61ml of Bud Candy
discontinued voodoo juice and Piranha as they are no longer needed.
PPM is at 980 in 10 Gallons of water.
Full table shot, plants are looking real nice, i trimmed off the Top fan leaves yesterday so more light will reach the smaller flowers.
Right side of table
Left side...
Moms...oh and i forgot to mention that the plants in pots are being fed using technaflora nutes, just the regular bloom formula with no additives. As these plants where much more mature when flowering started they seem to be about 5 days ahead of the table in flower development. Which is to be expected...
 
 
The Autos...honestly i don't think they have grown much at all, they are eating up their feed quick, but i don't see much growth or much of anything really...though i must say they smell awesome!
  
I didn't have enough space available to upload the pics of the third mom and more close up bud shots, so i'll do that over the next few days.
Hope you all enjoyed!

Here's a few pics of the developing flowers...

That sux about your laptop man, and thanks for the observation things are going really nicely. Though the plants really started to smell over the last few days, even with my carbon filter i can notice a slight smell in my room, and when i open my tent woo-oh its getting stinky.

Day 35 of flower..
Another Friday, another update!
I got a little nute burn on some fan leaf tips so i reduced the nute amount back to 90%, discontinued big bud this week, so all thats gone in is Bloom A+B and Bud Candy. I originally was going for a 7 week flower, but since i flowered the plants so small its obviously going to be close to 8 weeks. Though the plants in pots look like they will finish about 4 or 5 days ahead of the table...anywho heres the nute break down...
122ml of Sensi Bloom A and B
60ml of Bud Candy
PPM is at 878 in 9.5 gallons of water PHed to 5.5
Full table shots..
 
Left Side..
Right Side..
Potted Plants..
  
Assorted Flower shots...
     
   
Everything is going well, apart from the slight nute burn last week, i could have changed out the water when i first noticed the nute burn on wed, but since i was changing feed today i decided to be lazy about it.. lol

Hey guys, sorry i have not updated this thread in awhile, but the 420 forum is much more active, so i finished my journal there. But i couldn't leave you guys in the cold without knowing how things turned out. Anyways things ended up excellent for my grow, was there ever any doubt? LOL So after cropping and drying, i ended up with 364.3 grams in total, of that 78 grams where "whispy" buds, that will go into my trimmings bag to make hash out of sometime in the future. I was left with 286.3 grams(10.2oz) of AWESOME buds. I was hopeing for 3/4 of a P and the total(whispy and good bud) was about a oz over what i guessed i'd get so i'm really happy with the results.
heres a few pics.....
all the nugs in a bowl....
bud close ups...
On a Side note, i will be upgrading my equipment to a 36 site aeropoinic system aswell as the full Advanced Nute additives lineup for my next grow. Plus a new air cooled reflector and 1000w digital ballast. I'm not sure if i will post another journal here as it is real slow on this site, which sux cuz i love the layout compared to the 420 forum...but i may so keep an eye out. I still have 7 Orange bud plants in my tent alone with 1 MK Ultra and 1 Fruity chronic Juice... I'll try and post something for them once i start to crop, as they are all in diff phases of flower...anyways, hope everyone enjoyed the ride!
Cheers! and happy growing!
