OK decided on this configuration. I will have 44 plants on the 2x4 tray. I will flip this one tomorrow if I get my car back, so I can get supplies. And then have the next 44 ready for another tray in 30 days.
I have a 2x4 hydro tray that I use as a mother tray, It produces about 50 large cuts in 3 weeks.
I'm curious :) If you are flipping this short, are you growing many single colas in perpetual succession. Based on the last plant you posted under your LEDs that was bushy is this something new you are trying?

It took two hours and almost two ounces of denatured alcohol, {when I could have done it on my cat food stove with one ounce in five minutes} but I started a fire in the rain and made a cup of coffee last night at my new stealth camp.

The first shot looks like a birch branch in the forefront of the pic?
If so I love that stuff for starting fires - the oil in the bark is almost like gasoline.

Starting a fire around here in the rain might be a bit more challenging than where you're at - we get a lot of rain (most times) for days on end & it tends to make most tinder (and every other piece of wood) pretty soggy.
I personally like the low tiny spruce branches/tips that have been dead for a year or two and sheltered by the canopy of the tree for starter - they will usually start pretty reliably if you're careful & pay attention.
Once you have a good base you feed from there (slowly).

No birch this far south. I'm in NW Florida. My go to tender is dead Spanish Moss. I keep some, along with fat wood and lint in my truck. But I was hiking, so. . . . . . .

I must ask ... what is a cat food stove?
(I'm thinking either you have pampered kitties, or it's like a dinner bell to the local mountain lions ... )
That and Fancy Feast are generic names for any free standing denatured alcohol stove. That is one that doesn't have to have a separate pot stand. Here is one I was using a few months ago. {I couldn't find a good picture of my current stove}

One day last week I dropped one of the lens out of my glasses. Been using my TV and farm glasses since. This morning I made a speed run to the vision center at Walmart. They got me put back together, and cleaned the hell out of them. Really need new glasses, jut haven't taken the time to set up an appointment.

My favorite thrift store opened this morning for the first time since the hurricane. I ran by there while I was in town. I hit the lottery on hiker gear. Got a North Face rain jacket, two fleeces, top and bottom long underwear {non matching though}, a thick and fuzzy top and bottom sleep set, two nice coats {and three CD's} all for 12 bucks. I had to get to work early today, so I couldn't hit all of my thrift stores, but I did stop at one more. They have been in full hurricane relief mode, and just opened back up as a store last week. But half the store is free stuff, with the back half still a thrift store. Last week I got a Bass Pro Shop camping pillow and a poncho. This time I got a grey disaster blanker, a neck gaiter and a purple pair of those open finger gloves with the magnetic mitten flip cover for my wife. Also found a base layer shirt in the thrift store part. I gave a five dollar donation for all of it. So for 17 bucks, I got at least 200-300 worth of gear.

You can go for years and not get a haul like that.

I hit the local Goodwill at least once a week. There's 2 in town, the RPGW (Rich People Good Will) has a better selection. Eddie Bauer, Cabela, LL Bean. Some almost brand new. SMH, rich folk
