Flower Tent round two 
Here we have Super Lemon Haze on the left, CSSH mama in the middle, and Holy Grail 69 on the right. Took them out of the cab and out of the screen. LST is the bee's knees my friends. There's close to a dozen tops on each. Day 10 flower for SLH and HG, Day 2 for the CSSH.
I rebuilt the light in the cab and it's running a cool 82 degrees through out now. It was reaching 90 before the rebuild. I doubled the heatsink size and reduced the emitters. I may add the 660s in there later. Right now the cabs running only ~22 watts per sq ft. I feel confident in it's capabailities though. We shall see
In the cab I'll be running 2 CSSH clones lst'd out nice and wide in 3 gal smarties. The Mt.Cooks in there now will be down soon.
Aloha ke akua
Much Love my friends

Yes cool idea...I may stole it from you...lol!...really useful!
Lst is my way of growing...so many tops in so little time!!
Do you twist the main branch to put all the secondary branches on the sides?

It's so perfect for LST. Cheap, reusable, and neat. Green too
I got the idea from someone on the forums here, forgot who!
Yes LST is great! It's really quick and you can shape it however you need. I'm experimenting with super cropping on some of the CSSH clones. It bushes them out really good! I will be LST'ing on top of the supercropping and see how many tops we can get
The main stem was twisted earlier in veg to go where I wanted it in the screen. There's just a couple nodes that were facing down that grew up towards the light, it's really cool looking!

The warnings of all have came true. The kapton failed to keep one of the holders down secure and the connections came loose, resulting in a total fixture shutoff due to a series connection. It was the one problem holder/cob that I had in the initial build. She did not want to stay in her holder...
I wish I got pics up of the reinstall but basically I just
-Removed the old kapton tape and holder
-Gently moved the cob around until the thermal paste let off
-Cleaned the cob back and surface with rubbing alcohol
-ReTIM'ed the cob and placed it on the CPU cooler..Next,
**I TAPED DOWN THE TWO CORNERS OF THE COB THAT DID NOT HAVE CONNECTORS**
This got it pretty secure on it's own. I was then able to
-Secure the holder over the cob, and while keeping it pressed down onto the cooler,
-Firmly tape down the holder with pre cut pieces of kapton
She ain't movin. Nope. Sturdy as nails!
Anyway,
Mt. Cook canna coconut oil chocolate chip cookie just kicked in.... Yeah...
Took some pictures of the tent. Been doin work!
Installed the blumats and 5 gallon automatic reservoir. 10 Gal drain tub underneath to catch any potential floods. Raised the girls a bit and redirected the cold air intake away from directly hitting the plants. The SLH right next to the vent had some dying leaves from being blasted with 60*air all day. Smart! Also top dressed the CSSH with some N guano and EWC, and the other two with a simple mix of organic meals, P guano, and EWC.

I tore her outer skin a little bit a week ago and removed the tape today. Should I keep it covered still?

Hope you're all doing well!

Wow that's real art for sure! You got that twisting down good man.
How big was that plant height/width and how much did it yield?
Mine look like they have a similar amount of nodes

This tent never looked so great
Super Lemon Haze Day 35 Flower (14days 12/12, 21 days 13.5/10.5)
Holy Grail 69 Day 35 Flower (14days 12/12, 21 days 13.5/10.5)
Critical Super Silver Haze Day 27 Flower (7 days 12/12, 20 days 13.5/10.5)
Blumats have been great to me! No problems whatsoever. I dialed them in perfectly the first time.
I really haven't had to do anything in the tent for a while... just fill up the 15 gal blumat resovoir with plain r/o and a little EWC topdress for everyone. The CSSH in the middle is in a smaller pot than the other girls, and I wanted to test some recycled soil without re amending it. The other two got a little kelp/alfalfa sprinkled in. I will most likely continue to mix in small amounts of amendments when reusing soil. I think the small pots are getting eaten up and the battery needs recharging more often than a bigger one would.
I built a new cab and took out one cxb3070 + ap11 cooler from the tent to put in there. The tent still has plenty of PPFD with 3@ 1.4a. Pics to come soon of the new cab, I'm still fine tuning the airflow. Been busy getting everything straightened out for the cup comp!
