So my idea was to have two trays parallel and the adjacent tray would rest upon the end of the two parallel ones, sort of like a U shape.
I only need an extra inch or two - story of my life.

I think the 1.2x1.2 tent would do the job. Im going to try and make it work for now. I just need some rubber hose so I'll be down b&q tomorrow to see if I can find some.

Ive got an oil sucker I can slide down the side of the rockwool to extract the water stuck in there for now.

Someone's coming to view my Honda s2000 today, hopefully they buy it so I can really up my grow game.

My shopping list is new tents, more cmh's and some extraction fans. Was considering going cobs but I can't be diying I need something plug and play.

Yeah I love my cobs but for what your doing I think the CMH is the better option. I love my CMH too. The spectrum is awesome.
£200 for a maxbrite and Philips bulb. cant go wrong.
Hope car sells.

I had the same thought, 2 CMH per tent, 3 flower tents is the eventual plan :)

Nope! Didn't sell. The bloke brought a plonker who knew nothing about cars to give him advice. Walked away from it! Frustrating to say the least.

If you're going to view a car - don't get someone who knows nothing to give you advice!

He pointed to the brake fluid reservoir and said "that's going to need changing" even though I did it in February? Asked me when the shocks were last changed too.. Didn't even bounce te suspension just said "it's a little hard to tell" wow

Put it in the ad for a couple thousand more than you want to sell it for, then tell the customer that you're really desperate to move it and you'll cut the price lol

So, the black dog is mostly amber pistills and receeded, trichomes look cloudy/milky, could this be the fastest flower time ever? Im gonna count the weeks and days to make sure now.. Will update.

Flipped 10th may, 6 weeks and 4 days. So that's 46 days right? Wow. I could chop this at day 50 to 55, that's fast.

Does anyone else get dead leaves and underdeveloped buds behind the screen?

For some reason I thought that as the canopy is only 1-2" thick Id get good penetration - but I havent?

Surely defoliators aren't correct when they say "leaves impede bud growth"?!

image.jpg Accidentally snapped a branch, couldve repaired it but I decided to stick it into a Rockwool cube and see if it revegged or even rooted. It's in a humidity dome, warm room, im hoping that's enough to get it to root.
My last cuttings had the benefit of lovely warm weather heating the window sill.

Considering a heat pad but I hate spending money until I can perfect my grow methods. Starting to feel like a money pit these days.

Good luck with that, the branch is fairly mature so most hormones or going to produce that bud, not roots. I have tried and never got them to take.
Hell dry it, rollitup, and smoke it. bongsmilie

Is this Kings kush any good

Smells incredible, grew really fast and lushious leaves to boot. Mines got an unknown issue that I can't identify nor get rid of. Im tempted to say bad genetics? But more likely temperamental from being tied up.

It's worth a go, most people have said its the best smelling plant ive grown yet.

Update - I decided to chop the black dog. No pics but I will post some of the haul once it's dried abit.

I decided that it had done most of its growth, wasn't going to produce more and I was going to chop it and do some damage control.

Ive got two very eager plants waiting to go in its place. I think of the two tangie will be next, Pineapple Express in place of the KK.

My air layered tangie clone has rooted in the 3" cube! My Pineapple Express clones are still yet to pop roots or grow in any kind of way. More updates coming this week.

High humidity and temperatures here are killing my yields. Wish I could afford an air con unit. Humidities of 85% in flower and as high as 32c in lights on and off and not lower than 24c and 50% humidity. Also had 2 days of not watering and came back from a weekend away with chronically underwatered plants.... My own fault. Need an auto irrigation system in place very soon.

Got a tangie in the flower room now looking huge and bushy, high hopes for her.

Kings Kush starting to hermi so it'll get chopped tomorrow.. It's similar to black dog, small airy buds.. Im putting it down to the heat problems ive had for that. The size isn't great. Ive got tangie and pineapple and were comig up to winter so if I can't get good produce from them I'll go back to autos, seemed to do much better with them.

JD,
Good luck with the humidity. I am worried about that too, 5 weeks tomorrow and the humidity continues to rise. I am going to start my A/C this week.
Can't wait to see that black dog, what do you think caused the KK to hermy on you?

I wish I had an a/c! Without one this grow has gone from being semi viable to almost a complete loss. Fortunately I have some good friends that will take it off me regardless of bag appeal. The smoke is absolutely excellent. A complete couch lock exactly as described by HSO. Me and my gf smoked one at 4pm and we just laid around the apartment all day and then slept at 10pm and woke up completely refreshed! We love it but it's definitely a night cap smoke.
Unfortunately all of the buds are airy and popcorn-like. But I can take some pictures if you like. Could've kept it going for longer too. Ended up with only 57grams dried. Not great for 4 months of growing.

I expect the consistent issues with KK the seemingly unexplainable leaf drooping (potential root rot, although I treated it as such and couldn't figure it out.) and the extremely high temps and humidities probably caused the hermi.

Good think about growing vert is that each bud is easily visible so ive caught it straight away.
