This will be my ongoing grow log, until I have to part 2 it.
I’ve been growing for a few years now, nothing huge, but until recently I was still upgrading my room. There are in only a few things I still want to add, but I’ve been rolling with what I’ve got and experiencing decent success, I’d say.
So last year my son moved out and I got to move my, at the time, 1 3x4 tent from the garage to his old room(we still have the guest room so it’s all good should he need to come home). Shortly thereafter, the upgrades started. I wanted a veg area and my 3x4 to be flower only. Cool, bought a 32x32x54 inch tent and my first decent led. Before, it was Amazon cheapies. Had a couple good harvests and was thinking, I can do better with better equipment.
Fast forward to the middle of July, and on a different site. I won a “Medic Grow Ez8” true 1000w grow light! Mind blown, I’d never won anything of decent value before and here they were sending me a(at the time) $1000.00 light! It shows up… and it’s too big for my tent. I squeeze a new 4x4 out of the budget, so now I’m running a 32"² (100w) a 3x4 (~300w) and the new 4x4 with up to a thousand watts. I’m getting concerned about my wiring, call my electrician friend, I’m OK.
We’re going to fast forward again this time to April this year. On that same site there is another giveaway that my leprechaun decided I needed to win. This time it was a Spider Farmer SE1000W (a 1600.00 light!) and I have no where to put it. With a little help from my friends I get the funds together for another tent. This time a 5x5!
So I’m running a 5x5 with the Ez8, a 4x4 with the SE1000W, and the 4x3 with a szhlux 400w(i bought this one lol) needless to say there is very little spare room in the spare room. I need to take a break before I start talking about the plants
On to my babies. I run a near perpetual, no I don’t have it timed perfectly but I haven’t run out of weed in 4 years. As I open room in either of the flower tents I have at least one ready to go.
In the 5x5 under the Ez8 are:
Humbolt’s “Lemongrass” x2 (3-4weeks in flower)
1 “Sweettooth auto” from 5-seeds.com (almost done time unknown)
Tiki Madman’s “Ice Pie” (one week from the flip)
2 Calypso Chem by Heart and Soil
2 MLK4 (a.k.a. MK Ultra) (about 2 weeks from their flip
1 “Widow Bomb” by Bomb Seeds (one week from flip
In the 4x4 are
1 more Calypso Chem
Jinxproof’s “Main Squeeze”
And one I’ve been calling “Cherry-Apple Pielato” pics still to come.
You are doing pretty good so far.
My suggestion is continue with the ‘vertical integration’ and swap out the grey shelving unit for a larger ‘wire rack’.
The longer I use them, the more I like them.
Easy to customize, I have added some plywood panels to mount LED drivers, power bars, AC Infinity T6, LED light strips etc.
I have a friend on another site that won a couple things, I told him he needs to let me borrow the leprechaun. My wife overhears this and a few days later, she hands me an ebay box and says your leprechaun arrived.
Two weeks later, I won the first light.
So yeah, mascot, wee folk, how ever you care to call him, he’s here to help.
I see what you mean, it’s just the top half of a bookshelf who’s bottom half got a physics lesson from a friends dog. It was not strong enough to stop the object in motion.
I could see something like that, definitely more storage.
