This is a continuation of My 1st Journal. I wanted to start a fresh one for the new year. This is grow #5 for me so I am definitely still learning. My goals for this is to get more consistent results because so far I either get good yields of mediocre bud or small yields of great dope. Anyway here’s what I have going:
Tent 1
36x20x62" with an aglex 2000. I believe it’s 400w with bloom and veg switches on, but I typically only run the veg lights. Currently running 2 raspberry berets and 1 trophy wife from 7east genetics and 2 kwikseeds mixed landrace afghans
The bed is a 25 gallon fabric pot and the soil is 1/3 promix hp, 1/3 lava rock, 1/3 compost. All I really feed is 3 tbsp a week of gaia green power bloom or all purpose.
Tent 2:
30x18x36" with a mars hydro 600 from 2017.
I keep clones in the milk crates to keep them out of the main light, though I do have 20w led strips in the bottom crate. The larger plants are some Maries Wings (Peyote Critical x Salty Watermelon) mothers, and the smaller are Grape pie x Orange goji generously gifted to me by @ShiskaberrySavior .
Here we have 10 Black Market Breeders’ Pole Dancers also gifted by @ShiskaberrySavior. I am considering trying to flower these out in this tent with this light to see if 100w will cut it.
I used to feed once a month but I decided to try it weekly based on some advice
on my old journal. 3 tbsp a week is only 12 a month, which is 1/2 the recommended dose.
Student loans are finally in so I treated myself to some seeds
~20 malana Banana from 7eastgenetics, the ~20 Palestinian Princess were freebies. I also have some f2 peanut butter breath from kropduster on strainly on the way.

Moved my filter and fan outside of the tent and raised the light another 5 inches. I can now run it at full power without raising the canopy temp stupid high. My cheap duct fan does NOT like pushing through the filter (which I expected) so I’ll probably switch everything back but we’ll see.
I also put the Grape Pie x orange gojis in the flower tent so I can sex them.
I may have missed it, but why do you have the fan pushing through the filter instead of pulling? I was under the impression they’re more efficient that way
Edit: meaning the filter is more efficient, not the fan
Definitely is more efficient. Basically I moved the filter, fan, and hose to the outside of the tent for the extra space in the tent but the only way that works is if the fan blows through the filter

Spun the pot around and pulled the plants apart with rope ratchets, tried to supercrop the tall afghan but split the stem as I do every time I try supercropping. Patched it up with micropore tape but it’s gonna need a stake to keep it up.
Some plants have a touch of burn on the tips so I’m holding off on top dressing this week. That said overall they look good.

Finally starting to see some buds and a little frost. The big landrace afghan smells like sandalwood and the smaller frostier one smells like brut.
To the far left is an old revegged mw1 clone that I just put in the flower tent cause I don’t want to keep it anymore.
