cardgenius’ 2 in 1 LED Grow Tent

[cardgenius]

Wow, looks like MP has been risen from the grave in the last few weeks. Good to see there’s some action here once again.

Been a busy start to the summer so far with keeping the garden going while getting outside and enjoying nature. Hope everyone out there is staying safe and growing some dank!

Defoliated, lollipopped and took clones of the Jah Kush crosses last week and flipped it to flower last night. First time taking clones and they seem to be doing good so far. I used Rootech and Azos to help with the rooting.

Popped some more beans. 2 PuTangs and some more dispensary seeds called ”The Solution”. It’s sativa dominate hybrid. Also have an order from Dragons Flame Genetics and Katsu Seeds on the way!

I added another SF2000 to the tent and I’m really excited to see how these plants flower with it and the HLG60 supplement I finally received.

You can fine me in the garden or in the mountains.

Nice grow and beautiful mountains.

Super curious as to how the putang grows and smokes for you - I assume Mass Medical? It’s on my wish list

Yeah it’s MMS but this is my first time growing it or any of his stuff so I don’t know exactly what to expect.

Im a fan of his and follow him on IG and from what I’ve seen, it doesnt produce huge yields but it does produce some fire. I cant wait to see cause I’ve heard nothing but good things. I’m setting up a Mother Tent soon and its got a spot in there if it lives up to the hype.

Yeah, he seems to chase effect instead of bag appeal, works for me as I grow for my little pack

I hate that he scrambles his voice for his podcast, but the content is good

Right!?! I love the info but man, it’s extremely hard to listen to. I don’t care what he says, no matter how much I listen I just can’t get used to it.

Its a shame too cause now that he’s having some quality guests on the show, it could really take off and be some thing special.

Flowering is coming along nicely. Currently at day 54 but the pics are from a week ago. Lookin like theyve got at least a couple more weeks to go.

fine looking ****

Day 67 of Flower:
Buds are getting close but need more time as there’s still some clear Trichomes. One plant is looking like it’ll finish before the other so that could cause a problem as I need to dry them in the 3x3 flower tent. Probably end up chopping them at the same time so I can get these next plants into the flower tent.

 

[WeedHopper]

Very nice.

The clones I took of the Jah Kush crosses are starting to take off. Was a rocky start for them as I moved them from the ‘germination station‘ under the 30w Feit LED and into the veg chamber under the 100w HLG100 a bit early and they did not like it. Leaves started to curl and loose their color within just a couple days so I moved them back and let them stay in there for a few more weeks. Took a week for them to recover and show new growth. They're back in the veg chamber now and looking good.

Popped some beans last week. All freebies from my recent seedbank purchases. 3 Crystal Castle (regs) and 2 Silver Sky (fems). I plan to veg and flower these in the new 2x4 I just set up. Hoping to get a keeper pheno or two from these to use as mother plants.

I mixed up 4 different recipes of some Dr. Earth amendments and chicken compost. Used one for each clone when I transplanted them into the 1g pots they’re in now and so far the 2 in the lower corners are loving their mix.

I ended up letting the plants flower for almost 2 more weeks as they really slowed down on finishing. I only saw about 10-15% Amber when I cut them cause the plants in my veg tent are getting too big. They’ve been drying for 9 days and still have a couple more to go before I trim and jar them up for the cure.

I sent back the 2x4 and bought another 3x3. It fits perfectly next to the other 3x3 in my closet and I can use the HLG 100 to veg with and not have to worry about too much light. Plants are already loving the 4K lighting instead of the 3.5K from the Spider Farmer. Next run will have the 2 PuTangs, another Jah Kush cross and a random bagseed. So far, I’m not a fan of these PuTang plants. Smell great but are very finicky. They don’t like to be watered all that often but if you go too long you end up with burnt tips as the roots move through the dry soil. It’s been tough trying to get them dialed in. I’ll be taking clones of both so I can run them again with better results(hopefully).

The seedlings and clones in the 2in1 are doing good. A couple are battling Magnesium deficiency from the recent cold temps here. I moved this tent to the upstairs office and it doesn’t get much heat so I have a small heater coming from Amazon to help out. Just found a male from the Crystal Castle so it got pulled but the other two look like they’re gonna be females. Topped all the plants last week.

About a month ago I decided to toss one of the Jah Kush males I had outside and flower it. I wanted to collect some pollen from it to try and make more seeds when I flower the female here soon. Everything worked out great, got a decent amount of pollen from it before the freeze set in.

Buds are curing in jars and the reset on the flower tent is complete. I lollipopped the plants best I could and took some clones off the bigger, faster growing Putang.

Putangs are bottom left and right. Jah Kush cross top left, Lemon Haze Bagseed top right. Photo is day 7 of flower.

Clones still look good after 7 days. Thinking theyll need another week or two under the humidity dome to get rooted before I can start to open up some vents.

I’m kicking myself for sending back the 2x4 tent as I would have liked to use it as a dedicated tent for drying. I can knock out 10 days of down time by going straight into flower with the next batch of plants, so I’m going to look for a 2x2 or 2x3 tent that I can put up and take down easily when needed for drying. Thanks for looking! ☮

Day 24 in the flower tent. The stretch is over and bud development has kicked into gear. Top dressed the plants a few days ago with Dr. Earth Flower Girl and some Earth Worm Castings. Other than some EWC tea and a shot of Big Bloom here and there, the tent will be on cruise control with just tap water from here on out.

Jah Kush top left. Lemon Haze bagseed top right. Putang bottom left and right.

The Putang on the lower right almost tripled in size through the stretch. It’s stacking quite well so far so I have a feeling it’s going to pull a good yield. Not showing any purple yet so this might be the “green pheno” if I remember right.

The other Putang is looking great. Purple has been coming through since the first pistols popped and has been getting better ever since. This plant did not stretch very much and is on a box raising it up 6+”. Not much stacking so I don’t think it will be a big producer.

Very nice color.

Day 50 of flower and things are doing good. It get cold here at night(20’s) and with the tents being in my basement, the temps have been dropping into the low 60s or even high 50s when the lights would go off at night. So rather than run a heater at night I changed the veg tent to run throughout the night and just vent it back into the room the tents are in to keep some warmth and it’s worked great, temps stay in the low 70’s or high 60’s at night now. Flipped the UVA on and will let it run until the end.
Jah Kush cross

Bagseed looking pretty good.

Putang. Looking like theyll need more time than the other plants. Still shooting out lots of white pistols and all trichomes are still clear.
