KC36 under 400w cmh in a Grow Tunnel

I just transplanted 2 large (to me anyways) KC36 ladies into their perlite hempy tub and dropped the screen on them. The screen size is 3'10" x 2'. The tub is a rubbermaid under the bed container. They were much taller before I dropped the screen on them.

Food;

For veg, Dutchmaster Advanced Grow A+B with supplemental cal/mag and ph adjusted to around 5.8-6.0 (hard to tell with drops)

For bloom, Dutchmaster Advanced Bloom A+B ,cal/mag and potash+, ph adjusted to 5.8-6.0

This pheno of KC36 is about a 1.75x stretcher, so as soon as the screen is full their are going to 12/12.

This is my first run in the Grow Tunnel, so we'll see how it goes, hope you stick around.

Without further ado;

Its hard to get the full screen in the picture because the room is not deep enough and I don't have a wide angle lens.

They have grown much since my last post, I trimmed all the lower leaves and small branches that weren't going to make it to the screen any time soon.

Another week or so and I think they will be ready for the flip.

I stacked it on top of another container so that they would be closer to the light, and the piece of wood under on side is to level it out some. There aren't too many houses with sound foundations in this city.











The temps have been between 74f and 80f.

:edit; I can't get the pics big, eeerrrrhhhhh, dam

Looking awesome. May I ask if your previous issues that you mentioned in the other thread worked out? I would assume so.

Sam! It looks great man. So fresh & so clean, clean. I love it! What ratio is your mix? And at what frequency is your feed schedule? and.....do you have an idea of what the gallonage (I don't know if that's a word or not) are those containers? I think it's a word, but am unsure. (forgive me....just puffed a fatty and feeling a little silly)

Can you refresh me on those issues, I guess they worked out since I cant remember them.

LOL my bad...I thought you had posted that you had been popped in the last thread and had to shut down.Maybe I'm thinking of another guy with a grow tunnel? Or maybe I need to stop smoking so much pot? :laughing:

stonedar; sure, have at it, glad to have you.

jd4083; your talking about Agent-Smith, he is where I got the idea from for a grow tunnel.

dubwise; the sticker says 41 quarts, but I put about 8 gallons of straight perlite in there and it looked full enough to me. The transplant containers were 1/2 a gallon so, 9 gallons total medium in there.

Hey dubwise, I'll snap some pics tonight when the lights come on, they need to be fed too. They did stretch a little more and there are a few tops within 4" or so of the bulb, but no light bleaching. I can lower the trough 1.5" if need be but I'd rather not if I can get away with it.

The buds are filling in nicely, I'm amazed every time I go up there at how many tops there are.

Cool...glad to hear things are going so well. Can't wait to see the update. I'm about to change my lights on to evening hours...hopefully nothing will go screwy with mine.

just don't let the dark hours get less than 12 hours continuous and you should be fine.

I'll be snapping some pics in a few hours
