I haven't installed the new fans yet, but these fans can be noisy. I had a 12x12 version that was amazing.

Have you tried sealing the fans with epoxy putty? That should minimize the bucket vibrations.

Good luck mate

Plants are looking awesome man. My bucket plant is mostly sativa as well. How much did yours end up stretching? Do you remove the fan leaves?

It stretched a lot, I'm using a two point anchor to keep those tops as low as possible. I'm using 3 spacers now, will probably need a fourth one down the road.

Training example:


Here is Gigabud at about day 45F.


And here is Vintage2k6! New plant, a few days after topping

I will have to try the 2 point anchor. Mine is about to outgrow its 4th spacer and since I used the square cat litter buckets I have no more until my cat does some more pooping...

Howdy fellow growers! Sorry for the lack of updates.

I harvested Gigabud a few weeks ago, got about 20g dry. A little bit of heat stress, the summer down here is brutal.


And here is Vintage 2006! Day 7 of flower after 6 weeks of veg. I'll keep updating with her progress

I have 5 of them going but it's tough for me to schedule the harvests evenly. Sometimes they need an extra week, sometimes they're done early and I don't like to sit around on an empty bucket so I'll do a longer flowring sativa and then 4 months later, that throws off the schedule again and on it goes. I suppose if you were only growing one kind, it would be easier.
