100% organic DWC tent grow

I got some organic brown ganular sugar from Walmart because it looked like Sucanat and it was 3$. What is the application rate for this? 1tsp/gallon in veg, 2tsp/gallon flower?

I am currently starting my first solo grow and have decided to share my progress, findings and mishaps with everyone to receive input. I am going to grow DWC, vegging under T5s and budding under a 1000W HPS. The entire grow is indoors in grow tents. My current strains: GreenHouse Seeds Trainwreck Feminized (5) Greenhouse Seeds Super Lemon Haze Feminized (5) Barney's Farm Seeds Vanilla Kush (5) Female Seeds Grapefruit (4) Yesterday I soaked all off my seeds in a Rating: 5

Ladies and gentlemen, we have roots. Gotta finish up my DWC and grow tent set-up now.

FYI the 4'' 175cfm oracle fan is LOUD! they are advertised as 'extremely quiet' on the website i purchased them at. Maybe the motor is quiet, but the air rushing out sounds like a hair dryer. I hope my DIY muffler and carbon filter help.

I don't want to be like my friends grow and her little sister asked "why does it sound like you have a vacuum cleaner in your closet?"

I have a fan similar to yours thats i use in my closet. Its not as loud as your friends, but it tends to keep me up at night sometimes.


I just counter it by smoking some of the weed i grew in the closet. Works like a charm:thumbsup:

[shibbysurfrider]

yes it does. luckily I dont have to sleep in the room, but I do not want anyone to notice my grow.

So I freaked out about my seeds stretching too much and I rigged up a temporary lighting setup to prevent them stretching to the heavens! My veg chamber is extremely height limited and i need to keep my babies short.

Here are some pix of my temporary set up and some DIY carbon filter, duct muffler and dwc container pictures in the works.

So All is going well EXCEPT my GreenHouse Seeds Trainwrecks. Out of the 5 seeds, I fear that 2 have died while trying to emerge above the rooter plugs. 1 of the others is a 2.5'' tall stem with the unopened seed on top and the other 2 that are actually showing leaves look sort of retarded. I'm not sure what to do with these. Yield and quality are very important to me. Should I grow these out? Or start one of the other strains I have lined up?

finally got my veg chamber up and running! Temps are a little higher than I want so I'll probably have to put frozen bottles in the rez's. One of my mutant trainwrecks that never sprouted is a confirmed goner...

I will give them a week, and if not, then I'll pop either my Reserva Privada Cole Trains or my DNA Genetics Sharksbreath.

I also put the seedlings in a WEAK nutrient solution consisting of Humboldt Roots, Roots Organics Trinity Catalyst and Advanced Nutrients Mother Earth Super Tea Grow.

Thanks man. Right now I'm working from home so I have plenty of time to tend to my babies. I catch myself watching them grow haha. lights are about 4'' from the tops now and the stretching has definitely stopped. After lasts nights move to the DWC containers and veg cab, they have all perked up.

3 of my remaining 4 Trainwrecks seem to be looking more normal now. Weird, bent leaves seem to be growing out normal.


The vanilla Kush look shorter and I can already tell she is gonna have fat indica leaves.

The Super Lemon Haze seemed to stretch the most but have evened out now. Big variation among these, expected from an F1 pheno. Hopefully I pick the right winners to clone.

The Grapefruit are the unknown in this mix. Never smoked or grown, just a strain that caught my eye. An 8 week, maximum yielding sativa. Its supposedly a pineapple pheno C99 crossed with another tropical sativa. Very happy so far. Seedlings are VERY uniform, like i was growing cloned seedlings.

and now the pix!

I'd suggest being careful with blowing on them right now. I'd give them at least a few weeks before you use a fan on 'em.

[shibbysurfrider]

ok will do. thanks.

what is the reason for this? I understand I don't want a tornado in there, but a little breeze? I figured that the wind helps circulate the air and promote strong stems.
