I like the angle on that dangle. Like Growmau5 said start a thread once you have it up and running. I find that mildly angled lights combined with top down lighting provides awesome penetration and plays into the geometry of the cupped leaf. Chips are so damn tasty ;P Sincerely, IlovePlants

Day 7 Update: Lefty is starting to bolt, Centery got a top dressing of worm castings and supersoil concentrate, and Righty had tea watered in on top of some neem meal. Everyone is starting to respond to the light change, the tops are getting dense and bristley and the lower growth is showing off...

Couldn't justify pinning them down yet, I'm going to wait a few more days before I tie them down. Lefty is too crowded to tie down at the moment she would over compete, I may do a little defoliation on Lefty tonight to expose some lower growth. She's a bit too tight and she didn't transition...

Day 5 of 12/12: Well here they are in all of their glory! I'm going to tie them down and take a photo shoot tonight, but this is what the girls look like in day 5 of 12/12, the clones have been in soil for ~45 days. They are all extremely happy, although it looks like Centery will need a little...

Protector of the Forest: Check out my visitor, he must think he's outside XD More pictures coming soon!

Today is day five because I was slow finishing getting my tent light tight and my timers adjusted. Instead of weekly I may do 5 day posts. I will most likely start taking pictures daily after day 45 because they will look so good by that time, but I don't want to flood the forum too much. My...

It takes 1 minute to cross the rail, and I have it pausing for 45 seconds on each side. I figured that I would be able to get away with about 12-14 inches once the plants were finished stretching, is that too close? Currently the COBs are 2ft from the canopy and the Spectras are the same...

I decided to add in one more photo session today. Here's the room with the new plant in the center. Second to last photo is of a typical teen clone whose ready to enter her own flowering space, the plant I introduced into the room looked almost the same before I bent her to my will. Last photo...

Last Day of Veg: This is it! I'm going to switch to weekly posts during flowering to get a good look at the progress. She'll get bent down after 3-6 days of flowering and then in about 2 weeks I will put up the net and give each cola the appropriate space. They are both looking great! Lefty...

It's hard to see, but I did use foil tape to tape them down, but the corners need a little TLC. The room itself is wrapped with a 9-12 inch overlap on all sides, plus the window in the room has been sealed off aside from a vent that is redirected downwards and light tight once the timer turns it...

It's a wrap... almost; Righty plant, light on the left side:( sadly I dropped a light on her and now she's a bit injured. I will have to wait a few days extra for healing now :( Lefty plant full light: Whole cabinet without wrap: I took the last picture first, but I'm not doing any more...

New photos coming soon, I have 3 connections that need soldering so I need to make a run to Walmart for a new soldering iron and a staple gun. NEXT TIME: My mobile photon cannon gets a few upgrades, and the room gets wrapped up! See you soon...

Your setup is killing it with those old school pink mix. As you increase your lighting though consider adding in some white light for the sake of your eyes and your plants. Commercial vertical farms still use these pink light mixes to grow leafy greens in abundance, but you won't see these same...

Thank you! Yeah from my understanding light rails are efficiency neutral, but they certainly come in handy when it comes to consistency. This way I feel that I may be able to maximize photosynthesis potential in the chloroplasts without burning them out due to constant exposure. It's all theory...

The day after tomorrow: The plant on the right side of the tent is ecstatic to be in her new home. I'm going to give her about 5 more days of 20/4 before I flip the 4x8 to 12/12. I have some pre and post training shots, I tied a few of the biggest branches down to the pot as they are beyond the...

Birthday of the Mark 1 Mobile Photon Cannon AKA MPC1 4 x CXA3070 5000k at 1.4amps=235watts on a light mover in my 4x8 space. Walls will be going up in the next few days. Using the fan gives the light dual utility as it blows down large leaves exposing lower growth and foliage to light. I know...

I use neem seed meal in my mix, that and I haven't had a real bad outburst in years since I started my compost. My predatory mite family was picked up by accident when I was adding forest litter into my compost to diversify biological agents. At first I freaked out and thought I had spider...

This has always been a great topic and I think the answer lies in; genetics, environment, and soil conditions. From my knowledge, I think that there are some strains you can smoke almost immediately and there are some you should cure longer, from my experience strains with a high leaf to bud...

You found the water melon eh? Yeah I was having lunch at the time of the photo. I noticed it but didn't want to retake the picture. I don't get fungus gnats because I compost in my room, and my compost contains nematodes and soil mites which kill the gnats before they ever hatch once eggs are...
