Just got back from holiday w/GF, to the mountains. had a GR8 time.Made a similar catch tray myself recently, yours could probably benefit a couple blocks in the centre near your joins, I can see it sagging in the middle, and with you saying it's making a puddle it's one thing to try. Good luck
Weekly update!
Day 27 from sprout.
A couple of days behind on my post, took a much needed trip to the Ozarks with my GF.
Had a friend plant sit, gave him written instructions on pH'ing and adding ready made gallons of nute mix, talked to him daily and all seemed fine. But he did not recognize that the plants were drinking more and needed more water/nutes. So got home yesterday and they were lite, lite lite, dry, dry dry, not much wilting but some of the lower leaves on the three largest plant had yellowed. Gave them a good soaking about an hour and then hand watered in the nutes solution with Great White to each plant.
He was very pH conscious and monitor it daily and would make sure it was 5.8 +/-, even though it was set to water every other day, that was fine, he is learning. Setting him up with clones from this grow, so taking him under my wing, lending him extra equipment I have and willing to share all the knowledge I have acquired.
Anyway, no harm no foul, maybe set them back a few days. This morning after the heavy drinch I gave them last night they had taken in most of the solution, so I gave them another good watering.

You just need one of these come harvest.Hey gr865 ive just got myself some of that orange netting. When you say tuck and tie, do you tuck the ones that are long and tie the ones that are too short?
I ask because ive just realised that ive weaved all mine through my net and it's going to be a real pain come harvest. Cheers

Please explain, I am not sure what you mean.I think if you put some screen closer to the bag you won't have to do gymnastics with binding those parts.
Thanks detailed as ever! You spoil meI tie the branches to the net and tuck the fans through the net.
Here you see the main stem and the branches tied to the screen

This is basically it, the first branch is secured to the smart pot, then each of the other branches are bound to the screen.
