It is not a true tent. Simply a wooden frame with Mylar around the grow area. It is open on both top and bottom and is in a storage room. Actual size is 2 foot by 4 foot with 10 foot ceilings.

Shit with that kinda height and low foot space, you should think of vertical if you plan on upgrading... stack the bulbs bare with a fan underneath... donut around the light, dial in your environment..Boom just helped ya double yield at least. No need to thank me, I'll be here all week :tiphat:

Not so sure about pot size, you're finishing in solo cups?... I used to ammend my pro mix with some coco.. cuts on cost of promix bales when using cheaper bricked coco... Not so sure about actual transplanting, shouldn't have a problem.. Now if you were going from peat mix to coco, I think you would have overwatering issues in the rootball.. Definitely if you're watering by hand, I would reckon to say, move back to soil or peat mixes, coco is too tedious to keep up the demand the media needs to be handwatering 3x a day... This bumper crop is teaching me that lesson, really whuppin my ass.. 5 gal coco pots... Still need to be watered 2-4x a day.. its exhausting

i like the looks of this stuff and i found a store less than 10 mi from me that sells it for $32 per 3.8 cu ft bale.

i transplanted 2 p98 bubba's so if it goes bad ill report back its a bad idea.....keep the pitch forks on stand by.

I was out of pro-mix when I put my latest cuttings into solo cups......today I just put them into bigger pots with pro-mix. I think they will be fine. I am doing coir for my flowering plants and pro-mix for my mothers I want to keep around.

be careful changing too much too fast bro, new lights and all, I cant see the promix outperforming a good coco. I know its a solid mix but I remember a shit ton of pro mix guys going over to coco and after h3ad posted his modified lucas a bunch more folks did.

There are a number of things you can use to keep slugs and snails away including but not limited to crushed egg shells, food grade diatomaceous earth or wood ash/cinders. These will all keep them away and be beneficial to the soil as they break down.

Take the medium and sprinkle a good amount around the base of each plant and then you just have to monitor what you put down and replenish as necessary.

If you're at the grow site regularly, there are snail/slug traps that you can easily build that will also help eradicate them.

See this is what I'm talking about when I write of the depth of knowledge in indoor growing. Here is a man with a 10 Ghz processor and 128 GBs of RAM for a brain who can remember, process and pass on knowledge that no one else can retain. He's helping out a good friend with his grow and I'm over here babbling shit about slugs and snails....

You'll do fine Cheeb you're a hell of a grower and you'll get it figured out and you always got the Encyclopedia of Indoor Cannabis to consult with if you can't.

Hugh you never cease to amaze me with all the things you know and can remember!

Sometimes I wonder what will happen to this state if we all ever get turned loose in a legal situation. :biggrin:

Set out a few bowls of natty light. just around the bottom of the pot or plant. the snails will go there and drunkenly drown

hugh def got it right, imo in soiless applications coco crushes promix no doubt.. But far as ease of mind when hand waterin, promix is a breeze, almost requires no brain functions, especially after being ammended.. Bring it Cheeba- Come get you some! lol

Slugs, shitty seasons the past 5 years in my area, and people the 3 reasons I went indoor... You guys are much baver than me for being able to take a loss and keep it rollin like its nothin.. I had very few plants go bad on me until the last one, I took losses left and right to rippers and cops... out of 250 plants 15 plots... All but 1 plot being left.. And it wasn't even very good lol
