I'm having to shuffle things around as I go I've got to move my current grow into the tent as I need the space it occupies before I can move on I'm also robbing the styrofoam walls for my ceiling it's now hot out so I'm done for now I think this so far is the best strain I've had in awhile both plants are now equal in growth I'm also happy with the tents I bought I'm still light on the nutrients @530ppm. I'll raise it a notch but I'm seeing no need to feed these girls heavy right now IMG_2102.JPGIMG_2103.JPG IMG_2104.JPGIMG_2105.JPG IMG_2106.JPG

hey there:)

would leave a few thoughts bout your setup if you don't mind:)

just looked up the last lady you harvested successfully a few pages back... those dried out ladys... shit happens I guess...

I think your pots are too small, even though it's hydro, you need bigger root mass for one plant,
whats your final-pot size? and on what area are you growing? right now it looks like 3x3 obviously and 2 plants... you still trying to make one pound per plant work after this run? ;)

which light did you use on the last plant you harvested a few pages back?
I think you need to Veg way longer and use your screen right. you gotta train those branches to grow horizontally quite some time, keeping it a flat, branchy surface with like 50-100 shoots, why did you switch back to wire? I personally think wire sucks, when the plant isn't trained to grow into the wire it probably does not matter, but its a real bitch to harvest when the plant grows horizontally into the wires....

one pound per light/plant is not that hard, you just need to fill in your screen till it's 100% full or maybe 80, depends on the stretch, indica maybe 90-100% , then switch, sativa like 60-80 then switch to flower... with one plant you would need probably 2 months of veg till it's filled with branches (from seed and sativa strain) maybe less, depends on how fast she's growing.
I am no pro with led, sorry I did not read all your infos, just a damn huge thread:) but what led are you using? all I know is, if you get a 600 hps you'll get a pound easily, even in a 3x3 tent.... with proper training and one plant.

is that thing on one of the last pictures your exhaust fan? then you really need a new one...
I would consider shifting your day phase into the night if you know what I mean:) if you still have temp problems..
hope this does not sound rude or something:) just want to help out..

I've got 2 strains under the t-5 the left is doubledream from purple city genetics I cloned & the scrawny on is super sour diesel I picked up fron kloneking it is diesel-x-og kush & it's what I really want to develop for the new light/tent setup I'm way behind on finishing the room kinda tearing things out as I go & putting things together behind me the super sour resembles 707 headband I've got high hopes for it IMG_2132.JPG

I think I wrote it a little unclear, cause I mentioned your dried up plants.. but I talked about the 300g plant a few pages back... still you should train those ladies way longer I think. 3 weeks more (horizontal) training/growth before switching would easily double your 300g, just saying:)

That's the advantage of cloning & running the same strain I was expecting a lot more stretch considering it had 75% blue dream you're right about filling the screen before the flip there is a learning curve to these leds when I started this thread I was planning on using 540w. Of led I ended up with 340 including the 6 fans that cool it so about 300 of actual light

that's a problem with single entry rooms/ tents for now I can reach across to bend / train later on I'll have to figure something out

What if you got some small casters and bolted them to a piece of plywood? Then you could roll everything out together and won't lose a lot of vertical space, just have to pick the front up a bit to clear the tent pole and lip.

That's actually a pretty good idea
