They are worth their weight in gold. Made a PVC irrigation with a hose timer for my front yard veggie garden and it's saved me countless hours.i need irrigation so bad

Started getting the Veg tent set up, it's a 2.5x5x6. I built a table out of some scrap wood I had laying around to make it 2-tiered. The bottom half is 2.5' for clones/seedlings & the top half is 3.5' for mums & veg.
Also got my strips in. 20x 3000K & 20x 4000K. Going to be running 30x strips for a total of 300w on the top half of the tent and 10x strips for a total of 100w on the bottom half.

They have exploded! Drinking about 15G every other day and will soon bump it up to 15G daily. Lights are dimmed about 60% running ~500w.
Going to take clones tomorrow, do some lollipopping, slight defoliation and then throw the SCROG screen in. The plan is to flip them in about a week, we will see how that goes though.
Finally got the RO system hooked up. After an hour of flushing the system, it's bringing my 440 PPM tap water to 30 PPM so I'm pretty stoked. The girls will get their first RO feed tomorrow.

Got the girls lollipopped and put the trellis up. Cranked the lights to max and raised them to ~24". Tomorrow will be the last day of veg and then it is time to flip. Gave the plants a preventive spray of Azamax as well.
Ideally, I'd weave them through the screen for a week or so but it's already too packed in there with 16 3gallons in a 3x7 area. I raised some of the shorter plants to try to get the canopy a bit more even but I'm sure it won't stay that way for long. That's the price you have to pay for pheno hunting multiple strains lol.
Still need to dial in the feed with the RO water.

Thanks! Time for the fun part
Now that the veg tent is setup I can pop the next round of beans and veg them out while these are flowering. Toughest part is deciding what to pop lol.
I’ll probably do a fem run with Eso’s & Useful’s and then do a full Bohdi run after.

Most likely Eso's Welchie (LVTK x Grape Sato), Twinkle Tarts ( Black D.O.G x LVTK), and Useful's Blueberries N Chocolate (Blueberry Hashplant x Chocolate Diesel). All fems.
Then next run thinking Bodhi Strawberry Goji (Goji B x Strawberry Milk) and either Mothers Hashplant (Mothers Milk x 88G13HP) or Womo (Mothers Milk x Wookie).

Yeah I’m excited for the Twinkle tarts, the few grows I’ve seen of it were fire. I’ve never ran any of Eso’s gear but I swooped 7 packs last night for $128 which is crazy. Got a bunch of Useful’s Choc. Diesel crosses which I’m looking forward to as well.

Day 4 of 12/12
I flipped on Monday (10/19). They have exploded while I have been gone. I'm out of town for 4 days a week and have been having someone tend to them while I'm gone. Unfortunately, they don't have a clue about growing but I left somewhat detailed instructions. The problem is this is my first time running LED's and using RO with these nutrients though so I still don't quite have things down which makes it hard when I'm not there to correct any issues.
It looks like they got a bit of burn. Not sure if it's light stress, over fert, windburn, or a combination. It appears to be worse on the plants in the front which are exposed to the fans the most. I cranked the lights to 100% and raised the nutes to 550ppm two days before 12/12 and the plants stretched quite a bit while I was gone. I just turned the fans down, raised the lights to 28" and gave them a light feed of 380ppm so hopefully I see some improvements.
Looky what came in the mail

They are strong little lights and hard to beat for the cost per watt unless you go DIY strips. I have some spare 185w 54v drivers sitting around from that last sale at Arrow so I plan on picking up some more QB 96's soon.

They are doing better with the changes that were made. Went from 1.2 EC to 0.8 EC the last two feeds and I'm seeing an improvement. Going to need to do another defoliation soon they are already getting out of hand a week later. Few pics with lights off to see their natural colors.
DIY cloner is getting its first set of roots. Tap water with a few drops of bloom & PH down, pump running 1min on/7min off.
