Hi guys just want to show some pictures of my tent and get some tips for late flower if you see anything I could improve on. I made the classic mistake of packing the tent too full but I have been weaving tying and defoliating a lot so each top gets good light.

Looking great bro
Everything looking on point!!!!
I’m also a scogger and will like a lil more info about your setup.
hey man. I ran 12 plants 3 exodus cheese 3 blue gorilla 3 tangies and 3 fire and ice. In 7 gallon pots Michigan mix. Very light feeding Roots organic during flower so far might feed one or two more times and start flushing. No CO2 started from clones.

Thanks for the compliment! My first time with a screen and I love it so much

You welcomed my friend !!! And have you done any lollipop underneath the canopy ? Is your Humidity in check? I don’t want you to have an mold issue.

I cut everything under the screen. currently running at about 55% humidity. I’m worried about mold too man. I might have to run a dehumidifier once things start thickening up

Just a quick update on the grow and some pictures. Things are bulking up quite a bit. I had to raise the lamps a little, some of the sugar leaf tips were showing signs of heat stress. You can see it in the close up bud picture below. The smell in the room is like a smack in the face. Some tasty strains in this tent for sure.

Beautiful plants. I have 2 cmh lights now, but I'm going to get 1 more for my 3x8 closet. 4 is awesome for a 4x8. All I can say is keep it up man.
I agree that 4 is awesome for a 4x8 but it is a little difficult to keep the temps low. CMH don't run as cool as people led me to believe lol. How high off your canopy do you keep your lights? I find myself constantly adjusting them looking for the sweet spot. 18 inches is what most people have recommended to me but I find it is too close for heat even with two fans aimed at the canopy. It also leaves the edges of the tent too dim.

Ya the heat is all I am worried about if I add another. They don't run cool, that's for sure. I have been keeping em about 19 inches away, but I have heard a lot of people keep em higher for better spread, and I've been tempted to because last grow the plants that were lower looked just as happy as the higher ones. It would also be nice just to have em permanently mounted, but I haven't tried it yet.
