Phototrons...SWC/TRON

Just try not to overthink about it you should be fine…I chopped mine at 65 days…I will weigh it before they go into the jars and as far as smoking it no can do, I give up boozing/smoking for Lent every year…it will be curing in jars till 420 day…I think Easter is 4.17.22 might as well wait till 420 day to start boozing/smoking again…
I’m glad to help you with your Phototron and it’s no problem…I also glad you joined Overgrow because IMO it’s way way better than RIU…If anyone else have any Phototrons feel free to fire it up and I/we will help you…

And people if you’re wondering or confused about anything with the Phototron it’s not bs @PhilCuisine is the Tron-Guru and respect for giving up for lent I’m sure that it’ll worth the wait

IMO, if you can grow in a tent you can grow in a Phototron, just ditch the instructions/nutes that came with the Phototrons…A Phototron is just a smaller version of a tent but you can only grow 1-2 plants max and the Phototron comes equipped with its own lighting system and vent holes and it has hard walls and limited height… Whatever medium/nutes you use in tent growing you can use in a Phototron.

Yes it is, very very resilient…check out my main stalk from this VTF grow…I used a zip tie because I didn’t want it to right itself, it was my first time doing this…

Wow I actually thought about it when I was bending the smaller branches and if it’d be to much for the plant …great minds think alike lol but it’s definitely not gonna be bad genetics I traded some White Runtz crosses for some feminized Skywalker OG(by Mephisto) from @Reefer and I have acquired a few more starins mostly fems or auto regs I roughly have 13 strains now instead of the just the black Eyed Katy and Runtz crosses but everything has legitimate genetics and lineage so now I will find out how much I am retaining for the next grow and it’s definitely coming down tomorrow

I’d call that a great yield for a phototron grow with height restrictions but I know that you’re not feeling like it’s a good grow but I’m looking forward in seeing how it smokes

I guess it’s not bad…I usually average close to 3 oz. a plant in my small Phototrons grows…btw, I have a buddy who has a couple of my Phototrons just sitting in his basement collecting dust so he ask me if I want it back, you guys should know what my answer was…

Hmmm :thinking:let me think HELL YES I WILL TAKE THOSE PHOTOTRONS BACK! Not a question at all because I’ve been trying to find a used one for sale and it’s either something broken or they want $300-500! If I spent that much money I’d get a new tent with everything included but I don’t want to use a tent yet…just wish people weren’t trying to get rich on something like this and I got my phototron for $100 and it was fully operational with everything so frustrating and sad that people think they’re useless and letem because I am comfortable with them and how much I enjoy growing with Phototrons so nice and how many Trons do u have :sunglasses:

Well ur set and that’s awesome that ones even new still plus living in Colorado drives the prices up for ANY kinda grow equity and I hate it :unamused: but I just am glad that I was able to get the phototron and it worked so I can only imagine how cool 3-5 Trons would look setup in a grow room.

Took care of my farmer buddies for the summer season…I passed out 40 clones of my Vietnam Thunder Fuck & Jenny Kush for outside grows but I still have these clones in my cloner so I decided to fire up my SWC/TRON…I don’t really grow indoors during summer but wtf I might as well…it should be done by the 2nd. week of August and my outdoor grows will be flowering by then…you can never have enough recreationals…

I’m also using a new oil pan from the dollar tree, the only problem I can see about using this oil pan is always topping it off more frequently during flower mode…

Gonna be rain & cloudy for the next 3 days so I might as well utilize the extra space in my current SWC/TRON grow…

So I started with 5 cuttings and have 2 different setups and I have 3 left one was wilted last week due to me not realizing it was only just touching the water and it only took an hour or so to completely shrivel to nothing and the second one was the thickest cut u sent the other 4 were the same in size and I still have NO idea y it kept getting mushy and couldn’t get it to ever do something (from being so thick ???) so 2 left in my homemade fish tank cloner and I have the other one in a homemade miniature bubbler in a 32oz Gatorade bottle w/top ¼ removed with some pink Styrofoam for the “plug” n a little carbon bubbler for a fish tank basically a tiny air stone and I’m seeing what works best unfortunately my brother/fellow basement dweller wasn’t able to swallow his pride and I am seeing growth on the mini bubbler cut but it’s not root growth it’s photosynthesis growth and doesn’t that indicate it’s gotten to much light and it’s looking happy but not much happening and I am just trying to keep it consistent and let them go other than daily water changes and I’m getting some stem hardening beginning as well as one with a small white root and the other one is getting a few white bumps around the bottom of the stem !!!so they’re rooting and I am so worried, nervous, excited and happy to get some roots showing and at the same time I want nothing more than to get a chance to grow one out in the Phototron especially when it’s such a amazing cut grown by u… I’d also be SUPER bummed and feel like I let u down and wasted 5 cuttings of hard work so finger’s and toe’s crossed that I’m able to get something special from the 3left here’s the 2 in my .8 gallon fish tank cloner

and I know it’s not the best setup but gotta start somewhere but I’m currently trying to keep an eye on them without interfering to much or over thinking so updates to come but still got 3 kicking THANKS @PhilCuisine The Doc

Its trial and error my friend…I figured now that you’ve got 2 P-trons grows under you’re belt it’s now time for you to step it up a notch and try rooting clones through the mail…I’m done with Vietnam Thunder Fuck and now it’s time to move on to another strain…you can do whatever you want with it, I still have plenty of VTF seeds…There’s another guy here that’s gonna grow out the VTF…One other thing, now you know how to ship clones/cuttings through the mail, keep it simple…no need for lights or fancy shipping when you want to ship clones through the mail.

Cheapo aero cloners are the most simplest way to root the cuttings without a dome…As of now I’m working on revegging my Sour O’wreck & DK13 strain for outdoor grows and to pass out cuttings…I’ve never grown out my Sour O’wreck strain but I have grown DK13 years ago…theres a smoke report on the DK13 strain in my Homemade strains thread…good luck with the Vietnam Thunder Fuck bromigo…

My SWC/TRON grow was droopy last night but early this morning I snipped a couple fan leaves and now its perking up again.

Last night before lights went off…

Just took this picture now…

I had to shut down this SWC/TRON grow because I’ve had people working at my house for the past week…
