It seems to me they have taken well to their new light!

I would most the cut/droopy one or crop it's big fan leaves. Try to get it to focus more on root growth .

It looks like for the tent space he's in it probably has a pretty decent footprint at the distance they're at. Should dissipate heat a little better further in than right at the edge of the sink yeah?

Yeah each COB has 3.5" from the edge with 7" separating each COB. I left them closer for better coverage and even spread while avoiding a central hot spot. Wanted to maximize density without making a death zone for the small space

They should be fine how you have them, keep an eye on the side with the driver for heat issues. If that side is constantly hotter or heat becomes an issue inside the tent you could easily mount the driver outside of the tent without changing much

Nice grow, I looking forward to seeing it all the way through...

Few days after topping, random is recovering well. Is it safe to take these fan leaves off or should I wait?Skywalker looking young

 

[grouch]

I wouldn't take them off yet, plenty of time for that later. It would remove about 25% of your photosynthesis right now. Bend those tops down to get the "manifold" started.

Yeah I was playing with them a little bit ago I'm not comfortable training them just yet. Maybe tomorrow

You don't have to ask the plant's permission, all you need is her forgiveness.

These things, I'm going to get some weights for them or something currently I'm just driving the other end into the soil.

I need to figure out how to do that in Dwc buckets

Drill holes in the top or sides of your buckets. Or just tie the plant down to itself.

If you mounted some 1 inch square fencing to the top of the bucket it would give you a sturdy grid to work with. Cut it what ever size you want and make a hole for the net pot.

Bonjour
It is a good start my friend...There is no other way of growing for me!
You are the boss and the plants should act as you want them to...so yes it is more work during the vegg time but it also shorten the vegg time because we use all the plant instead of let it grow and top it to have a nice canopy!
