hey NRK,
I should have updated the earlier photo showing that homer bucket it was just for testing. The 3 inch tailpipe is per Delta9 for a 7 gal tub. Running about 4 inches of airgap. The major issue I have now is ive never done a scrog. I think its time to top it so I will do that tonight. I have to get white plastic for the walls. You can see an led on the wall, it is a pulse timer. The 240v lighting is controlled by a lutron wifi switch from an app which controls a 2 pole contactor.
Thanks for the complement on the shed. The city where I live is total ghetto but the Planning dept were total assholes getting approval. This shed is built better than half the houses in this town. 2x6 construction 4" slab with 18" footing, rebar 2' on center 4000psi with fiber.

Like i said..nice shed. I grow in my shed also. I have a 2 room area - 3.5ftx2ft veg and 3.5ftx5.5ft flower room. I run 2 in flower with portable scrog (malawi right now). You could build wood frame attachable to wall with screws every 2.5-3inches in frame. Get twine..the white soft type. When grow is done, cut twine and re string. Lots of places have trellis nets for gardening.my portable ones are 2ftx2.5ft attached to bucket.

Don't wait too long.. i did with malawi (1st scrog also) and i had to supercrop..not fun to try fit under screen. Plan for possible 2 level scrog if big stretch in flower. Let it grow, pull it under to next square..keep going until even.. flip..keep pulling under and moving.. malawi colas are about 9-12 inches.. with your lights, you will have massive buds.

Those lights on the timer..red leds..might want cover those in flower..your black/yellow tote seems to be flexing outwards..too much weight? When i make my ppk..i will have 2 plants.. each in those 19liter (5 gal) totes).. right 5 gal underneath plant..
Looks clean in the room..

I was thinking, maybe Ill put a 2x4 frame around the rez to stop the bulging. Thx for the photo. I topped last night. Ive got to get some white plastic. Ouch the electric bill came yesterday. $140 for the month of 1000w. Thats just the light portion. Utility charges around 10 cents/kw hr

No journal but i have tons of pictures.. i am in my shed maybe 30 min a night and hoping to switch to PPK. I just chopped bangi haze. Now i have room for another Malawi again. I will stagger the plants 2 weeks apart to harvest easier. The leaves suffered on malawi (left side). Notice if you don't keep pulling bud down and over 1 square in your scrog, buds get too big and become leaning tower of pisa.. lesson learned.. next malawi will be treated better. My scrog is 2x2.5ft per plant.

Hey all been busy. working 10hr days. For me thats too much, never been a work hound. I didnt get the screen done till today. It probably wont turn out to be a good example. Not sure wtf Im doing. Here are a couple of pics. we are 1 month -2 days in the coco. I have not looked at ph since putting in coco. Frankly havent done a goddamn thing other than cut some leaves. the real test is down the road when its well into flower. Any advice is well received.
