Filled that tent for $99, nice going.
Hard to fit more lights on the side in a 2x4 without losing canopy space.
Even low wattage needs clearance or diffusion.

Look into one of the 240w Quantum boards. Spider Farmer SF2000 is one of the plug and play models. You are in a 2x4, right? That should be enough to fill your tent with 2-3 plants.

Thanks! Yea, I almost vegged them too long lmao. I was worried for a while. I think next time, I'm going to cut veg time by 2 weeks or so.

I have a 4x4 with 2xSF2000s and pulled about a pound from 7 plants my first run. This time, I hope to actually do better with only 6. Fingers crossed!

Damn that's awesome! I'm not sure what my weight will be, but it doesn't seem like it'll be too bad (for using a cheap light) lol.

Beautiful! I wish I would've cut more off my bottoms prior to flowering. Next time I won't be as shy.
I was worried at first but boy I had nothing to worry about. A week after I cut the bottom third off the plant and removed any branches that hadn't hit the trellis net, all 6 of these ladies exploded and filled in the first net completely. Once they start hitting that second net, I'll probably crawl in there and clean them all the way up to the first trellis. They are already getting pretty bushy in there and some bud sites are getting blocked a little.

That's awesome! I've been thinking of the nets also for my next grow, but I do DWC and have to change reservoirs. Not sure if there is a way to have nets w DWC.

Is it a shared reservoir or do you use one of those single pant enclosed DWC systems?
