@DustyJG Just curious, why did you go from a 4x8’ down to a 4x4? What do you prefer about the Secret Jardin to the Gorilla besides price?
2 Likes
The biggest reason for going down to a 4x4 was that my talent increased. Instead of trying to slave over 10-12 plants in a 4x8, I can now get the same yield from a 4x4 using traditional growing methods that I’ve gotten better at applying (LST, topping, super cropping, nutrient application, watering schedule, etc). It comes down to hands-on experience. Yet I’m still learning with every grow.
As for the Secret Jardin to Gorilla comparison, the biggest factor was bang for the buck. A tent is a tent is a tent as long as it has the basics of being mostly light proof, has a floor pan for leaks and spills, and is sturdy enough to hold your overhead equipment. The bonuses with the Secret Jardin model I chose are the venting setup and the included netting. I had to cut in the intake and exhaust vents which worked great for me. I could logically put them where I wanted them to fit my corner grow space. And the netting is designed to fit perfectly. A second net would be helpful and may end up being a future purchase. The Gorilla tents are cookie-cutter. You’re limited to where the door, intake, and exhaust are located. Gorilla touts their windows as a convenience where as I don’t have one on the Secret Jardin. For me, windows are a gimmick and another place to worry about seam failures and light leakage. I’m either in my tent working or it’s sealed up and doing what it’s supposed to be doing. Being able to peak in on the girls wears off quickly after about the third or fourth grow. Doing without a window was a no-brainer for me. Others may think differently. These are my opinions and what works for me right now. I may change my mind down the road.

Great feedback guys, I actually like my windows, but I’m running more than one tent and need to use my time very carefully. A quick peek in helps me determine if anything is needed that day. I’m too fat to bend over and open all the tents for a quick peek.
Just me though…
Cheers,

another pick up from the other day … my plan is to use the rare darkness and Jedi kush and cross them and see what I get … the rare darkness is the mother of scotts og which in y experience has been the strongest ganja I’ve smoked

Looking forward to seeing these runs.
Cheers,

I agree, especially when you are running a three tent rotation grow! Everything is different in each tent, so a quick peek is all I need most times. When I’m doing a solo tent grow like now, I duct tape the zipper around all windows because the only real time I go in there is to water and defoliate

Thanks man yea these are just bag seeds from various 8ths I’ve purchased… the frostier one has blue hues coming into the fan leaves … I can’t get the iPhone to focus the right way to where it shows the blue … the plant with the orange hairs now smells like coffee cake and the other smells like when you leave your clothes in the washer for too long without drying them and they start to smell bad … yea that’s the smell lmao… these floraflex nutrients are kicking ass … super clean and super soluble … but the ph stability of these nutes is insane. I’m used to advanced nutrients ph stability being decent but you couldn’t use another brands products with it or it wouldn’t work well. I use botanicare silica blast , botanicare sweets (carbs) , and overdrive and it stayed at a constant 5.8 and that’s with tap water coming out of my sink at ph of 9 and ppm of 66. Really great nutes … they are also in powered form so you get a huge bang for your buck …
The only thing I can complain about with these two plants as the plants progressed in flower the branches weren’t able to keep themselves up … 95 percent of that is my fault due to begging for 7 weeks and also not anticipating the weight
