u/Ser_NSFW · 3 pointsr/GrowTents

I started describing myself in the "Meet your /r/GrowTents mods!" post (quoted below), so I'll build off that :)

> After moving to a legal state in the Summer/Fall of 2015, /u/Ser_NSFW started growing indoors using SpaceBuckets and enjoyed it so much that grow tents were the next logical step. /u/Ser_NSFW has picked up a ton of helpful information and is usually willing to help out individuals via PM with any marijuana/growing related questions. /u/Ser_NSFW created this sub after finding no other grow tent related subreddits.

I'm low-key and usually good-natured, spending most of my days at home/school and hanging out with roomies. I'm a computer science student and recently applied at a local garden supply store to learn more about gardening and available products, as well as to help others figure out what gear will work best for them, so I'm excited to start working in my new home state! I've made a few casual acquaintances but no real friends yet (apart from roomies, I mean), so my time mostly goes to maintaining my plants and doing productive stuff like cooking pot roasts and batches of chili, or knitting. I play the drums and enjoy the outdoors, and trivia is always a riot after a couple beers :)

I really like the idea of growing all-natural marijuana - that is, healthy soil and plain water, with as little extra nutes as possible - so I'm excited for warmer temps that allow outdoor growing! In the meantime, I'm getting an Apollo grow tent (36"x20"x62") and an LEC light with my tax return. You read that right, "LEC" (Light Emitting Ceramic), apparently it's a new light technology that's equally or more powerful than equivalent HPS lights and generates relatively low amounts of heat, reducing or outright eliminating the need for extra vent fans! I'm excited to give it a shot, since my 132W LED panels have proven to be a tad underpowered when used alone. If all goes well, I'll have a 315W LEC light and two 132W LED lights in a single grow tent, if possible!

I've started using a locally-made soil and nutrient line called Nectar For The Gods that has proven extremely worthwhile, it blows Fox Farms out of the water from what I've seen so far. No major pH issues, no nutrient lockouts/deficiencies (except a tiny bit of what appears to be Magnesium deficiency, which I've been countering with regular nutrients successfully), overall I'm very happy after making the switch. I forgot to mention that while a 12 qt bag of Happy Frog soil costs ~$14 on Amazon, I can get a larger bag (maybe 20 qts, not sure) of Nectar For The Gods soil for the same price, maybe a dollar cheaper!

I'm looking forward to becoming a true grow tent user, and I'm eager to learn and share as much info as I can with the rest of you fine folks!

Your list looks fine. These suggestions are based on personal experience:

  • If you have space, consider a larger tent. I bought a 4x4 a couple years ago and have wished I went with 5x5 ever since. Not to grow more plants, but to have more room to work and place things like fans.

  • I used FFOF and the FF trio for my first two grows and then switched to NFTG soil and nutes. The nute line is a little more costly, but I've had much better results since ditching FF. NFTG will send you a free sample kit of their nutes which should get you through a grow or two. Their nutes are fully organic and not salt based like FF

  • I have not been very happy with my 'blurple' marshydro LED. I bought it for my veg tent, but a T5 has worked much better. If I were to go back and buy one light, it would probably be a CMH. (Budget, High End). If you are handy, DIY COB is a great option as well.

    What is the ambient temp where you will be growing? Relative Humidity? An AC unit and/or dehumidifier may be necessary. Better to get them from the start and not run into heat/humidity issues than to purchase them after problems appear.

    If you have a local grow store, I'd stop there before ordering anything. They may have everything you need and are a great source of information as well.

Look into LEC lighting, it puts off less heat and hits plants with UVA and UVB it is supposed to be very close to the suns spectrum I think.
