This grow was 32-35c most days, sometimes up to 40c. The LED driver sits on top of the tent (not inside), and on most days I just leave the tent open, I only close it at night when flowering. A bit later, the 2 autos in the middle (front Amnesia, rear White Widow) got moved outside the tent, and the 2 plants either side (Critical Orange Punch) became a 'Screen of Green'. It all got a bit too big ........... Hand watered once every day with nutrient solution adjusted to PH6 (ish). About 20-30 minutes off work, once a day. fans look too small to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadPrikKhing Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 How do you deal with the odor though when they're in flowering? You're not venting to the outdoors, and you're not handling the odor in any way. At the very least it's going to be extremely strong in your house, even if it doesn't get out to annoy your neighbors. I'm not criticizing, what you're doing is working for you but it seems a little odd to just grow in the house with a tent but leave the tent open. The whole point of a tent is to enclose the grow and thus be able to control your environmental factors. People reading this thread and considering growing indoors with a tent might not realize that leaving it open is not the usual way. The conventional way is to have an exhaust fan and carbon filtration, and be able to vent directly out of the structure (which is going to be very difficult in a condo), and to leave the tent closed at all times except when doing something.

I've not found any of the modern plants make much of a smell. Did grow a White Widow once which was a real stinker ....... but that's the only one. There is a carbon filter and exhaust fan in the top right of the tent running 24/7, but I'm not convinced it does much, apart from helping cool the tent. I just use the tent for light control, when I'm forcing flowering it's open for 11.5hrs/day, then it's closed between 6:30pm and 6am. As for my neighbours ........

King of grass Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hi there ok my opinion I have found using coco you need to make sure in the you have good drainage as if you root say wet to long your plants will get root disease. So I have found in the hotter months about 60 %coco 40% clay balls then in the colder months 50% coco 50%clay balls also coco holds a lot of salts make sure your flush your system with clean water ???? if your using a good clean natural nutrients your plants will be better off than using a salt based nutrient feel free to ask any questions KOG ???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digbeth Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 if you are watering and fertilizing manually, do you reuse the excess water that drips out? compared to other hydroponic system that aerates or recirculate water, would you be wasting more fertilizer in this manual grow method?

Never reuse the liquid that drips through. OK for your garden plants though. Wesco fertiliser is cheap, 120bht lasts 8 plants a year.

Yes there is a lot of controversy around coco use but I'm at my wits end as to why my plants never finish well.I always suspected root issues but don't know how to remedy.I'm now using 3 gal fabric pots, should I go to 5 g in my small tent? I'm giving your method a go and see what happens, its cheap enough to try... PS:I'll probably go with Wesco nutes to start for simplicity sake... What seeds u plant?

Mine came as powders and it says like 50-100 grams per 20L Confused Will have to cut that by 4 I guess especially at the beginning? Nitrogen toxicity is a problem isn't it?

Mr Meeseeks Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 If you are worried about the amount of nutrients get an EC meter. Cheap as chips on Lazada. Feed them 200-250ppm for the first week then up it to 500 for the second week then 700+ for the rest of the veg state. When in flower over 1,000ppm is the norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomster Posted August 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2022 Morning All, Just found this thread. I owned a large grow shop in the the UK from 2003 to 2017, I have a fair bit of knowledge on the products for growing cannabis and how to use them. I'm not great on the chemical analysis side of nutrients as we tended to sell ready made nutrients that just did the job without the end user needing any knowledge of how they worked, but I do have some good knowledge on what is available in Thailand in regards to cannabis specific nutrients. Lights, fans, filters, plant problems etc I can really help people out with any questions. So any questions please let me know, happy to help where I can (PM's are also fine). Cheers, Tom. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
