How are you setting up the RO filter?

You gonna use a permeate booster pump? <- runs off the brine pressure to boost output pressure.

Storage tank?

Don't use the stealth brine restrictor unless you want to change membranes often.

I don't even know what you mean lol. I got this system because it was an open box at the store an my buddy basically talked me into buying it. Took 14 hours to fill the system. Ill have to look into it as idk what your talking about but I'm hearing boost output pressure. I'm getting a 55gal drum soon to fill will RO and pretreat with nutes and PH it before i do my water swap.

Even being a first timer i think its safe to say pretty good. Obviously gotta work a little bit on scrog method as a a few tops got away from me and its uneven as hell LMAO.

Looks great. Might add another fan or 2. Secret Jardin makes pole mount fans. The 16w are only $25. Kinda pricey but convenient and my buddy has had 4 running non stop for a year with 0 issues while he's gone thru other cheap clip fans every few months. Be prepared for dealing with high humidity when the lights go off late veg. I plan on building up and adding a second level and second net next time just to help support the tall stems. My net is at 12" and at the end of week 3 some tops are 24" above so also be mindful of veg time. I should've flipped about a week before i did bit i got greedy lol. Id say flip when screen is 65-70% full. I waited til about 80% and my shit got a little wild.
 
Looking good.
Have to agree on the 2nd trellis.
It makes it much easier to weave in branches that are shooting for the ceiling.
I have the same results-veg to the 1st@13", flip and I have a 2nd net 12" above to spread out the canopy.
They will still hit 30"-40" total before harvest.

I purchased a pair of Secret Jardin pole fans, Thanks TimmiT.
As for the trellis, I made it adjustable.
It sits 9in off the pot, Then extends 12in-15in-18in and 21in.
So in theory, if I extend to 21in. Then attach a second trellis at 12-15in off the pot. I would have two levels of support with a 6-9in space in between.
Would that put me in decent shape? Or am I still too low for the top trellis?

In my first run i experienced a 2x stretch. So my scrog was at 12" and by week 4 of flower i had some tops 24" over the scrog. Im new to the method and im sure i could've done better. I flipped late and didnt continue weaving as aggressively once i flipped. So I'd say if you're 9" above pot with scrog prolly be a good guess to put your support net 9"-12" above your scrog. You're set up to be adjustable so if ypu have to go to 16"18" you're ready.

And from what i heard and seen in a couple reviews is if a fan does burn out, clip on desk fans usually have the same setup for mounting to clip, you can change the fan out to one of the cheaper fan and keep reusing the clip forever. So thats pretty cool.

Looks good. How did the harvest go? I'm still collecting before I get started. Hopefully this weekend I will begin germinating seeds.
