PoorDad's Tent

[PoorDad]

These 2 auto seeds were put into dirt on 6-29-24. Fat Banana (yellow tag) and Green Gelato (green tag). I veg under dual 42w 5000k strip LEDs. These outgrew the small 1ft x 4ft seedling chamber while I got overwhelmed with some continuing issues related to my cancer. They started curving sideways and got burned by the lights when I neglected the entire operation for 3 days while I was at the hospital. I moved them to a 4x4 tent with a 250w LED and the strip LEDs as well. I really like these 5000k strips... really does a nice job with stalk and leaf development. They will recover. They're autos but it's still early. They've got 6--8 weeks to go.

Breathing room and more light. Still using pH'd water. No food added yet. They'll get hungry soon. The buds are just starting to form.

Curved over and cinged.

Not as badly burned but bent over and not happy after direct contact with the light for what appears a solid day.

These are all photos.
The 2 on the left side are Papa Smurf clones.
Right side single with darker leaves is OG Kush.

Papa Smurf. Plant was topped once and 5 clones were taken from various branches around her. She's been spread out and is filling a 4x4 net mostly all the way full. Not too many gaps. I didn't spend much time training or weaving to fill in gaps. The net is just to hold her up and wasn't intended to be a fully woven SCROG type grow.... which I have done and decided I don't like trimming them out of the net like that.

OG Kush is super thick as far as branches go. I burned her with too many nutes a month ago, as you can see by the cinged leaves 3 or 4 inches from the top. She grew past it and is fine.

OG Kush - I don't like to remove much. If it's green it can usually stay.

This one got too tall in a 4x4 tent so I bent her over and stuck her in a 4x2x7 ft tent. I almost broke her in half but managed to keep about 75% of the stalk connected, even though she spilt wide open. I wrapped the wound in grafting tape and twine for a month. She's fine. There's a knot starting to form. She's flowering now.

There's a 4x2 net in there somewhere.

I don't like removing green stuff. She needs to be cleaned up. There's a few dried and shriveled leaves. It's been a hard morning. It took me 4hrs to move some lights, plants, and water everything. My energy levels are just not there right now. They're all safe for a couple days so my grumpy old ass is gonna take a nap.

It's fine. Everything's fine. Don't look in there. Move along folks.

The high pitched shreek that escaped my mouth when she snapped ...

This is after removing the grafting tape that has been wrapped around it for a month.

Your attention to a well tended garden is obvious, great job and beautiful plants.
I'm glad to be back, watching and learning.
Sorry to hear of your health issues, my wife just came home yesterday from a week long stay at the hospital.
Serious health problems are all consuming.

All the best

There are the autos that got cinged. 24hrs in a 4x4 tent and a little breathing room helped a lot. They've straightened and are standing tall this morning.
