I had a 'water incident' over these past few days. I kept coming back to the tent to find water everywhere, not a full blowout and my drainage is pretty good (not good enough, mind, still water on the floor) but I still had an issue. It appeared, to me, that the lower leaves were going under some of the water streams and splashing water outside of the pots - at least I had that happen before - but there was more water this time. I trimmed back some of the lower growth, but the very next evening I return to check on the tent and it's the same again, water everywhere. It's awkward to get myself back there but I trim some more, turn on the water for 5 minutes and it's fine. Next evening - same again, more water.
I put it off another day but I figured that I would have to remove the pot that I believe is at fault and investigate. This meant I had to remove the screen. What a pain in the arse. Anyway, it turns out roots had blocked the drain hole so I pulled out all the other pots, one by one and checked but it was only the first plant that had broken through the barrier separating the medium and the pot/drain holes. It wasn't a complete block, either, so when I test-ran it before I didn't notice the pot slowly filling up. I trimmed the roots, which were lovely and bright white, installed a new barrier/screen and I think we're okay
I took a photo after removing the screen, and one after fitting the screen again [and letting it rest for 8 hours.] So this is at five weeks and a day or so.

After carefully removing the screen, not too much plant damage :thumbsup:
The screen back on and the plants left for eight hours, during their day cycle, to relax and reach back through the screen to make a pretty photo...
