A couple of things before I start with the pics and new ideas - still need to plug in my ozone generator, been dragging my feet on that.
Also, generator is getting delivered today, so that should be interesting.
And that's about it for the good news, now time for the sad reality of it all:
I waited too long to flower, and not rotating the plants for the first couple of weeks is going to be disastrous for my yield (oh well, I don't even smoke anymore, so not too killer).
Basically, the 3' of space from light to the start of the plants is too small for what I'm trying to do, but I don't think I could make my tray any lower for next run because of fitting the reservoir and dehumidifier in there, so what I'm planning to do is as follows (putting this in bold for those that skim):
I'm going to do 144 plants in my 4x4 tray for next run, and flower them all at about 4-6".
Yeah, I know that's a big change from before when I was worried about plant counts, but I'm not so worried anymore, and I frankly find it easier to take care of lots of small plants then fewer big plants.
So, while that ballsy assertion sinks in with you guys, here are the pics:
Integra, the following are for you:
Pics of the tent before lights come on.
Pics of some trimmed plants outside of the tent.

Here's the 36 clones in the E&F tray up top - 6 each of BL1, BL2, NYPD1, and NPYD2, along with 12 of the Indica Mama clones.

Same ratio down below, but only three Indica clones.
Some lights on pics.
More pics showing the new configuration - tallest plants on the outside, shortest on the inside - got my fingers crossed this helps me out a little bit, would like to salvage a half pound outta this grow if possible (realized after I trimmed them today that SCROG would've been my best bet to salvage what I could, but oh well) - BTW, staked all the colas, anywhere from 2-4 stakes per plant.
Shots of the trimmed parts of the plants, and also the new location for the Sentinel sensor - was being overgrown by the plants, so had to move it over.
Next steps:
Get this generator delivered and figure out an efficient delivery system for it, still thinking my box idea.
Order another 100 3.5" square pots for my next run.
Get these clones rooted ASAP to take more and more, as I'm obviously gonna need a lot.
Find 2x2 trays to make rotating the 144 plants easier.
Plug in my ozone generator.
And that's all I can think of for now.........as always, comments/questions/ideas are welcome and encouraged.
EDIT: Thanks Zeus, appreciate you stopping by - would also love your thoughts on the 9/sf idea if you wouldn't mind........
