2’x2’ led tent grow. Flashbang and Bubble Jack

[Safe Gardener]

Hello ICMAG Community,
I currently have two plants in a 2’x2’x5’ area in a tent under 150 watts of 3500k led light strips. Air flow is taken care of by a small fixed mount oscillating fan and a 4” duct fan blowing through a carbon filter. Temps are a little warm ranging from mid 70’s with the lights off and low/mid 90’s lights on.

The plants are (1) a cross of Nirvana’s Bubblelicious and Blackjack and (2) Hammerheads Flashbang that have been in flower (12/12) since 6/12. The Bubble Jack cross is growing like usual (front left side of pictures) but the Flashbang (back right in pictures) looks a little unhappy. The soil is something that’s been used and recycled a few times so that isn’t helping but the Bubble Jack and another male Black Jack that’s not in the tent both look okay/good while the Flashbang not so much.

Water is from the tap (have a well and treatment system), pH is around 6.3. I use 25-30ml/gallon of Neptunes Harvest Organic Fish Fertilizer 2-4-1 every 3-4 watering's. The watering's I’m not using Neptunes Harvest I add 5-6ml/gallon of Botanicare Cal-Mag plus 2-0-0 and sometimes add 1ml/gallon Superthrive 0.5-0-0.



Here are some pictures. I’m open to any suggestions.

Thanks for showing us your garden friend. It looks like more than just two plants. Keep us posted.

I’ve learned so much from my time lurking in the background here now that my state has gone legal for recreational grows I wanted to share. I’ll try and get some better pictures to show the setup. This is a low stress, no stress SCROG run. I trained the branches to fill in the screen for a while before flipping the lights to flower.

I’ll add some updated pics this weekend.

Pictures from 7/21/23. Only a few weeks to go. I’ll probably go to water only on 7/31.

Pictures from 7/30/23. Day 49 flower. I will be trying a new soil mix for the next round.

I've been using Soilless forever. Currently using Promix HP or Happy Frog. I use RO and mix to a stable 6.4 PH. I've never reused these to much of an unknown risk IMO. Flashbang is easy to grow and doesn't require anything special. As long as the PH and Nutrients are right the plants should grow fine.

It looks like there's not enough food and they're starting to fade. Possibly A PH lockout not letting the plants take up what they need.

Thanks for stopping in.

I’m going to try Promix HP next round with some EWC added to the mix.

Hi guys. Round 2 of the Bubble Jack and Flashbang has started. I didn’t get the promix but did change up my soil game. This time I’m using a mix of Kellogg’s garden soil, an equal part perlite, some Earth Worm Castings and a scoop of blood meal. This picture was taken 9/22 one week before the 12/12 flip.

Day 7 of flower. I’m planning on cleaning up the bottom 12” on Day 15.

Does anyone have thoughts on if I should use a screen to even put the tops?

 

[Safe Gardener]

Day 15 flower. I didn’t get to cleaning up the bottom of the plants yet. Will try and get to it this week.

The light was set to around 50% strength until this weekend when I turned it up to about 75%. In two weeks I’ll turn it up to 100%.

Hi guys and gals, Here are a few pictures from day 21 of 12/12. After these pictures were taken I did a little bit of defoliation and cleaned up the bottom 12” or so of the plants. Roughly 7 weeks to go.

I didn’t get any pictures from week 4 here is day 35 12/12. I’ve run into what I think is a cal mag deficiency. Added some 2 of the last 3 feedings.

 

[Safe Gardener]

Day 42 since the 12/12 flip. I think the cal mag deficiency is getting better. I pulled most of the effected fan leaves.

Day 57. No big changes this week. Straight water from here until day 70.

Damn, you are really dialed in good friend. It won't be long now thanks for posting your garden.

Day 65 of 12/12 going to 70. I took them down at day 60 last round. It will be interesting to see the difference.

I couldn’t help myself and took one bud of each variety and gave them a quick trim. Flashbang on the left and Bubble Jack on the right.

Those look really good friend.
