I am thinking of an 8 plant setup with the vert two up front on their own with stakes and then two on each of the three "walls" with the net. I think it would be better to just use the net as a guide and not necessarily stress the plants weaving them through, any thoughts on this?

Sounds perfect, just use the net to hold them at the safe distance to the lamp.
Looks like Mobo's has got growing so fast his training wheels crumbled to pieces :hump:

Ok I'm exhausted it's been a long day non stop. The stand is built for the tray and the 600 is hung vert in the center over it. I would have 4 feet to the glass of the raptor or 5 feet to the ceiling with the bulb bare. I turned it on let it warm up no issues with the breaker etc. Just gonna slap up some pics. I need to order one fitting online and then the hydro will be ready to go on this side of the tent. Next is to get that done and get the trellis net setup around the sides and the back wall. This bulb is BRIGHT hanging bare let's see what happens. Need to get a fan under it too but I think this will work. Time for a smoke break I need some meds for pain. All this crap with a fractured shoulder is no joke helped my bro cut his grass too that was the trade of for his help running me around to the hardware store and helping me build stuff. I'm happy with how the stand turned out with the res and the lower height vs the veg tent. I don't think I will change the stand design in the veg tent as I don't see height being an issue there. Got the last two plants in veg into the 9" pots, topped off the res in veg and adjusted nutes accordingly, and the closet is rocking with the flood and drain and the clone dome as well with the T5 above. I took 5 cuts off of each of the moms the Peach Puree, Blood Diamond, and the Suzy Q.

Anyways here's a few pics, also the girls in flower have started to bulk up and really push out the frost wow..........

Thanks for checking in

If I had the ceiling height I'd be running the gavita 600/750 fixtures no questions asked .Especially like the controllers they have now for them . And for under $400 for the fixture in most places including the bulb you really can't beat it for something plug and play.

Technically the way im doing it you could get away with a 750 (not a 1k) with 8 ft ceilings but i dont know if your set up has that kind o height

Nope the tents are only 6.5' from the floor to ceiling.

Right on
I would say my light is right at 8 foot and my canopy is right at 4-4.5 ft and if i forget to turn my fan back on after a picture it gets warm real quick lol

But the light controller kicks in and dims it down
Works sick! (Want something like this for an led setup ...

I think i might even lower the height of my plants on the next run . As one or 2 leaves are fraying up (literally only 1 or 2 leaves)
But no foxtailing

I need to give leds a shot for my new room plan

Thanks brother. I'm nicely baked as well lol. I have three Black Plasma a Jawa Pie and one of my Satori x Skywalker that's the one turning purple first girl of the cross . Buds are not as big as I had expected at this stage but the OG lineages usually fatten up late so we will see . But yeah the frost on that girl is nuts. I just sit and stare at them all the time and hope not to fuck them up lol .

Cheers

Today is day 45 of Flower so we are moving along .The bare bulb is hung vert on the other side. Just need a fan to blow up from underneath. Also got the parts to setup the hydro but the girls from veg are not ready yet so no rush really . Need to put the netting up on the empty side and clean the tray good before getting it running but aside from that it's good to go on that side. Then need to build one more stand for when the side currently flowering is done and that side will be setup as hydro as well. Then I will be completely hydro in the garden and I should be able to handle the workload a lot easier . Endurance is an issue so it's not easy for me to keep up on the perpetual but it gets me out of bed and keeps me busy . Just want (and need it ) to be a little less busy and so far it's working.

Did a pump and dump on the res for veg, topped off the F&D, and started the flower tent on water only today .Day 46 of Flower want to do my first full 14 day flush, never tried that before we shall see. Sprayed the veg tent the F&D and the clones with my method 1/Rhizotonic spray .

Thanks for checking in

I dont think youll not like the flush if you like the best "smoking" weed :)

I have no idea where people suddenly started with the whole dont need to flush bs.

I always taper my feed down AND flush


Do a side by side flushed unflushed dry them the same i all but guarantee youll enjoy the flushed weed better ;)

In my opinion anyway

I have been doing organics for a long time so trying flushing out and tapering down was not necessary before just cut hang and dry . I like to try different things and see what works best for me . In my short time growing I have found this best as many so called things set in stone I have found to not be correct. At least not for me .

Most of us in this group do things that are not "normal" so I feel I have found a good home here in this group.
