New to growing

[Guest]

Looks like I have some creative design work ahead of me. Definitely gonna need a bigger tent in the future. Hopefully I can still grow some good bud in this

Why not just paint the closet white and use that for your grow?

[tyler_ hobbyist]

That's a gd idea, but if he's trying to hide the smell and the plants a tent is way better. Yes it can be done but I dnt think he's wanting to cut holes for intake and filters ect. But yes you are right white flat paint on walls works just as well as the shiny mylar material.

The setup looks awesome, u can grow some awesome bud in there, the purple that comes off the light looks like it has Uv and IR lights witch is awesome for increasing thc levels in the plants. The filter and fans look really nice quality. A little hint with the filter. The filters that go on air purifyer the carbon screens they work well if ur filter screen is replaceable. U can get then air furifyer screens on ebay for like 15bucks

That's a good space for 1 nice size auto one thing to look into is maybe the exhale co2 bag. The leaves breath in co2 as we breath air. The optium ppm of co2 is 1200-1500ppm noraml air is 300-400ppm the exhale bag is about 30 bucks and last 4 months straight and raises the ppm by 500 for a 4x4 space so for a 2x2 space I would guess it would raise it to 1000ppm witch would be optium ppm with adding the air ppm with a total of 1300-1400ppm the plants use co2 light nutes and oxygen to grow. In a break down leaves need co2 and light and the roots need nutes and oxygen

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Without adding co2 ur plants will grow just fine they need a minium of 200ppm of co2 and like I said normal air has 300-400. Just adding the optium ppm levels will enhance ur growth/ photosisthis

I'm going to make some different hangers for the light. It has 2 bars inside so I'm going to run 2 supports to one bar and 2 to the other that way I can gain more height. The light is almost directly under a 6" port. I'm going on mount the fan and scrubber outside. Don't think I'm going to have to worry about air flow.

[Guest]

I'm trying to come up with a way to get a good breeze across the plant. To simulate being outside. Don't think I'm going to have room for a small fan.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Ya air flow/temp shouldn't be a problem with those fans, if u do notice a heat issue try to put ur fan up high as hot air raises so intake on the bottom and exahust on the top some leds produce more heat than others. If u need more Relitive Humidity in the tent hang wet/damp cloths in the tent it will raise the rh. If u ever need charts for anything I have lots of them just message me and I'd be happy to send em ur way

[tyler_ hobbyist]

One really good idea if u want more air movent witch is good for the stems to get stronger is those little computer fans u can buy on eBay for like 8bucks another way is to install ur tent fan and run a vent hose up the tent and face it down towards the plants

[tyler_ hobbyist]

From ur growing pot to the top of ur tent how many inchs do u have on the inside?

[Guest]

I haven't picked a pot out yet. Someone said the autos like a wide root base. I was going to get something as big as possible. The tent is 48" overall.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Awesome, ur gunna wanna tie down the branchs like LST training or the plant can grow to about 30inchs roughly also, I personaly dnt like to top plants because I like the natural look of them but with ur space u might wanna top the main stem to make the plant shorter and more bushier

[tyler_ hobbyist]

My NOT toped blueberry auto from soil to top cola is 29 inchs and I'm day 27 of flower. My toped auto from soil to top is 21inchs I only slighly LST train as I dnt have the room to do much I have 6 plants in a 2x6 foot space it's getting kinda cramped lol if u can LST train more u will have awesome huge buds

[tyler_ hobbyist]

With toping, lots of LST trains and defollion(cutting old leaves) u can grow autos to be 12-15 inchs high that produce a lot of buds iv seen a lot of people get great crop of those small plants, I just pefer bigger plants that look more natural lol if u wanna do LST training those curled tent pegs work great to stick on the stems and pull them closer to the soil any kinda hooks will work

I would get Roots Organic soil if you can get that kind where you live. I'm on my second grow and I didn't have to use nutrients for the first month. If your growing autos you will only need to use nutrients during flowering because I believe autos start flowering after 1 month. I use half a tsp per gallon of each tiger bloom and big bloom during flowering do it every other watering. That has worked for me so far good luck bro..

[Guest]

Morning everyone. It's friday! I put my temp Guage in last night to see what the temp would be in the morning. I then ran the light for 10 minutes uses to see what temp change I would get. Nuggs I do have roots organic soil formula 70. I've been talking with tyler_hobbyist and he said fox farm nutes work get with that soil.
