Wow kmog,
I JUST realized you are running all of them inside one bucket lid. Crazy. I'm intrigued. .... I have TONS of lids. And some 2" net pots are just a click away..

No I usually just do full cycle runs. I went this round 12/12 from seed plus a few clones to see if it yields any better than my last run with a 3-4 week veg and 6 plants.
Keep ppm/ec low. I am pretty much always 500-600 ppm, not really ever over that. I've found 3 gallon bucket better than 5s, I have to add water more often, but never gets stagnant or old. Tons of air in the res. That's pretty much it for oddities in my setup. Other than the multi net cup buckets as you've seen lol. I usually start with 6 per bucket and cut down to 2 or three by the time they're flowering. I really cull and eliminate any slow or weak growers. I probably throw out, cull, or stick outside 6-10 plants for every 20 I end up flowering out.

It was a $65 tent off amazon. Was supposed to be a 3x3 but ended up being closer to 33"x33". It works though. Hopefully I can fit a pound in it lol. Pulled 370 last run and added 100ish watts of higher efficiency cobs in there this run. Canopy definitely looks more full but I'm running way lower yielding strains. A few ihg cookies crosses, cannaventures cookie wreck, bodhis bubba X Durban, Kgps sfv X Doc's og, yekke seeds skywalker X golden diesel, and one of my Tahoes. So lots of cookies and low yielding Ogs vs the haze cross and skunk cross I ran last run. The cookie wreck and animal pie definitely look like low yielders despite the amount of canopy space they take up. We'll see, I'll definitely have some dank nugs that's for sure. Frostiest run overall I've done in a while. Everything's putting its bling on for this cycle.

Ive finally caught up and first off, i love the setup and all those plants look great.
I have a question if you dont mind?
Have you ever run HPS in that same space(3x3)? If so, what were the pros and cons for you vs LED?
I ask because i have the same size flower space, but im going to run sog in it with hps in a diy drip system. I appreciate your insight.

I used to run a 600 hps all the time. Less are less heat for me which means less cooling/overall wattage used. I also upped my gpw from some strains to all strains I'm running. So I'm hitting a solid 1.5+ with anything I run which is cool. The plants also seem to be a little bit easier to keep healthy, and use less water.

Thank you. I may have missed it but what are your average temps. My flower room is 33" × 43" and about 9 ft tall and I've had a 600 hps in a 21 sq.ft. closet so im prepping myself for the struggles of heat management. Watching your grow really has me thinking about using Leds after a few runs to compare quality.
