If you haven't seen it yet, you must go to Hammy's tent club and look up Hick's tent. Every time I think of it I crack up -- it's a doozie!

 

[HemperFi]

Next question: How much of this GH nutes should I put in 5 gallons of water -- for the first feed?

I'm just curious Hemp, how high is your tent? I'm giving them serious consideration, am marking off distances with tape on the floor so i know how big things actually are and i'm not sure about height. Anyhow ,how tall is yours? i was gonna look back ,but there are like 15+ pages here now.

Hey Solanero...type grow tent in eBay's search and you child get an idea of the sizes tents come in. I have three tents...two 2x4x5's and a 4x4x6.5.

They come in a bunch of different sizes though. Some of the best grow purchases I hve ever made were those tents.

 

[Sol]

Oh, yeah i know, its not that. I was lookin at em all day, i was just wondering, IF his was 79' tall (popular size) could he imagine stickin the same stuff into 63'( typically next size down) OR did he already have 63' and WISHES he had 79'. Get it? Just so i have an idea of what a comfortable height might be, without getting too tall and have wasted space. I dunno, its the way my mind operates.LOL

I just re-read your post , so i'll ask you then, Do you find that , your tallest is 6.5, so is that good for your needs and most ppl or did you ever think ,"i wish i had another foot height?" Sorry to do this on your thread, but i started asking you,but.....ladadada

 

[HemperFi]

Mine is like HL's 4x4x6.5 -- and I love it. But you could grow a pound in a shoebox, so I believe a tent would make you a super star

 

[HemperFi]

no prob -- I'm pleased you are in here. And Hammy's had my back every since I came in here, so feel free

When I used the 2x4x5 tents for flower I wished for a taller tent every friggin day..... But once I got the 4x4x6.5 I hve never needed more height. I love that one....perfect for flower. The 2x4x5 tents are great for vegging though.

When I first got here the great peeps here had my back so it's the least I can do for another fellow grower. That is why the regulars stick around...to help the newer people. We all remember how confusing it was in the beginning.
I bet I am not the only one who feels like that.

 

[Sol]

I think Hemper has me mixed up with someone else,or ..nevermind.

I think i might get one, as my 'family' has grown as of late. I would love it if i could get away with only going up 5 ft. ,but i seem to like BIG veg time ,so i was thinkin 6.5 (78-79') but that might be too tall. I'm lookin right at 5 ft. on the tape measure and that really should be high enough, right??Hmmm i need to think on this one.

 

[HemperFi]

I know what you mean-- I'm trying to resize today's pic offering.

 

[HemperFi]

what's up with that leaf on the AK-47?

 

[HemperFi]

cpl more

Overall pretty healthy looking bro...see one of them had a lil something going on earlier but your new growth looks good so I wldnt panic. I am battling a lil ph deficiency problem myself with a cpl of my kids.

 

[Sol]

Looking good. Boy, it seems they are growing pretty quik ,huh? Cool! Looks like you have the venting in hand now. Really the way it is now, you don't even need that lil bit after the light. Might just get in your way dangling there, and you will want to draw air out from the topmost area, as heat rises. Or strap the loose end to the ceiling and let it suck from there. But overall you got it now. I had to really think about it too. When you look at someone else's set-up it tends to just look like abunch of hoses going everywhere. Till you build one yourself and have to figure out where and why for everything. Blah blah blah
And your babies look great, fun is'nt it?

A CFL, MH, and HPS walk into a bar

The CFL asks the bartender for a soda

The MH orders a rum and coke

and the HPS says, "I'll start with that bottle of Vodka there on the left and work my way right from there."

 

[HemperFi]

Thanks Sol, I'm thinking that these particular plants are in need of a little stretching, so I am giving them 6 hours a day with the light out. I have never given them any nutrients, but on the next watering I will. I just ain't sure how much juice to give them. They will get the GH micro and Gro, but how much in a 5 gal. bucket of lake water --PHed to 6.5

 

[Sol]

Well, if it was me,... i would read the directions or look up info on those nutes and then mix a batch at either 1/4-1/2 strength and start there. If after 4-6? days they are reacting well or poorly and judge accordingly. Is what i would do. Is that ANY help at all?

I woulld think your big guys could take 1/2 and lil ones 1/4???? Wait , they may be too young still.the lil ones i mean

 

[Sol]

I just looked your nutes up and you are gonna get about amillion different answers for your question on how much. Those are the ones ppl use who employ the 'lucas formula' and i have NO exp. with that. Is'nt that part of a three part system? You could google Lucas formula and you'll see what i mean. To each there own but it seems like it making something simple, really hard. Anyway, i'm not sure how you want to handle this. I think listen to someone who has experience using those products. I would hate to steer you in any other direction than up.

 

[HemperFi]

Thanks man -- I do understand what you mean. I will experiment. Start at 1/4 and see what I see and adjust from there. That's what Hammy must do....
