Dustydirt's 250w hps micro tent
Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2013 9:06 am
I decided to create a journal about my little 16"x16"x4' hid tent...I'm growing Blue Dream from the Hso collective, one of the strains I also grew in my clw led journal. This is not a particularly high yielding strain, but has great qualities.
4 ft high was all the room I had in this space, that's why I went with such a small size. 188 watts/sq ft, which is rather intensive compared with the 60 or so in my other setup. probably would have been better to have a larger space to fill, but im just going to work with what i got and try to be super attentive to squeezing as much as i can out of the space. Ventilation is from a inline 200 Cfm fan w/ carbon filter, all external to Maximize interior space.
The clone was vegged slowly for a few weeks until being placed under hid for a few more days of veg and now is entering day 3 of 12/12. It was also topped and is undergoing lst treatment. I also bend the stalks manually to try to influence growth.
The first pic is from a few days ago, the next two were taken last night, one after I did some leaf tucking. I am considering turning it into scrog... Any ideas/opinions in whether that's a good idea at this stage? It looks like its filled about 50-60% of the space so far.
