Could be. I've been around awhile here/there/everywhere. I've definitely spent too much time on the boards over the years.

If I had me some heisenbeans I'd enter em in that comp. Saving my next seed run for the banana cookies from heisen and or skunky brewster I've got coming from a friend. Don't think I'll make that deadline though.

Got the new 4x4 setup, The ladies are loving the more space. Light was too small for new space so ordered 2 x 2700k to give a boost to the 4 x 3000k pucks. just waiting on heatsinks to arrive from rapidled. (Leds are vero 29 C's). Current light punches out 440w and will be adding another 200w with these extras added. These girls at at 1 month from flip so prolly day 22-24 of flower. Gonna have lots of room to find some fire. Gotta stop buying seeds......
*the pic was just after watering and I cleaned up the spilled water so nothing was left.
**Also I am genius who bought a wall fan to use in a tent. I have it hung from a light hanger and zip tied to a pole, works pretty shitty as expected, cannot use the rotational mode. Got it on sale for 40 bucks but wasn't a great buy after all.....

Question.
It is an 18 week tournament but someone can start late right?
If someone started a week late they would have 17 weeks to grow.
That might be enough for a fast flowering indica.

I believe this fan is a Seabreeze Blizzard it's a 9 inch Oscillating fan I got at Bed Bath and Beyond for $20.

Wood strip is cedar so it's not going to rot. There's a 1 inch plastic spacer near where the fan thing hooks into the shelf bars to hold the "Hook ends" apart. I can take some better pics and PM you if you'd like.
Finding fans for tents is tricky and so many of them suck/don't oscillate.

Hot damn, that's a really smart idea. This is why I love members sharing their info and setups. I'll swing by HD and grab an 8 footer and build a brace to mount it to.
My fan is 14 or 16" though so a bit heavier so I'll have to build a heavy ass footer or I could use some clamps and screw it to the frame of the tent. Have to be careful of ripping material though.

So I took a 1/2 inch drill bit, might have been 3/4's I drill through the 1 inch side then cut it with a jig saw so it was half circle and would sit on the pole. Then drilled 2 holes above that big enough for 2 zip ties to go through.Edit Make sure you sand down your edges really well
Or it will vibrate and eventually ruin your tent.Do it tight to the top poles or you might get some vibrations if you do it tight to the bottom pole. If you have some neoprene collars lying around a cut piece of one of them works as a good vibration deadener.

Here is a quote from the comp page addressing a similar situation:
It's post #42.
The judging rules have changed, but everything else applies.

Yeah I didnt think zip ties would be strong enough to make it stable. I was going to use pipe clamps to hold it tight to the wood.

I am also trying to avoid anything piney. Would you mind letting me know what he sends you?

This one works extremely well. You can make a smaller version of this, using a smaller tote or even a 5 gallon bucket which I've seen many people do. If you go the five gallon bucket route, and you only need six to eight sights, you should be able to do it for $50-$60.
The pump would be your biggest expense (that is, if you alrady own a drill). The hole saw bit (for drilling the clone collar holes) can be pricey too, so you'll need to shop around for that.
I would definitely make the biggest one that you can afford, that way you'll have the capability of making larger numbers of clones in the future if needed.

You can also make a cheaper version of this without the aeroponic sprayers, and just make it like a dwc. Then, instead of a waterpump you'd only need to use an air pump with a few good air stones to make sure the water is extremely oxygenated. That way, when the roots hit the water they won't drown themselves. They definitely work that way, but not quite as well as the aeroponic sprayer ones. You just have to make sure you have the water level just right so the aerosol bubbles come in contact with the stems/roots. With either one of these cloners, you would only use tap water or RO water, no nutrients or cloning solution.
*** After I posted this I kept reading the thread and saw that a lot of this was sort of covered, so I apologize for any redundancy. Hope it helps someone anyway.

I've had problems with precipitation in foliage pro and protekt.
Followed the directions to dilute with hot water and it helped, but there were still some solids that never dissolved. (this was foliage pro)
Protekt got cloudy and there was white sandy residue in the bottom of the jug. I tossed it and switched to GH liquid silica.

That's one thing I've never done. Is a foliage feeding or spraying of any kind. I did do the neem oil/dish soap one time. And it literally killed 3 females in my tent. The one and only time I've ever sprayed anything on my plants. I've seen other people have fantastic results from foliar sprays. But I'm not one of them lol.

I've had condensates in EVERY product I've tried. Didn't matter to me, I shook it up and used till done.
I use Foliage Pro and Protekt as a feed during veg and first 2 weeks of flower. No spray. Then a drop of Protekt, FP and Bloom with a drop of Mag-Pro last 2 weeks. Then a week water and done.
