Everything looks on point. Keep a eye on that reservoir water 65-68 degrees is perfect you wont have to worry about problems in your water.

It can get pretty low in the winter my water got as cold as 58 degrees and did no damage or stress to the plants. Its when the water gets hot that you start to get problems.

ive never thought of doing a scrog what would i need to do just add some type of net to my tent above the plants? Ive noticed the water down to 55 when i change my res but it has never affected them If the cool water dont bother then ill remove the heater. energy savings.

Just make a net or look around for, snow fencing or chicken wire and just keep pushing them under the net till it's full, then flower.

You got time man. I like the tapered growth you have going...any reason? Tapered harvest? (wanting to always be harvesting the one on the right?) Check my grow out for info, pictures, and videos of a DWC SCROG. Good luck.

I honestly didnt do that on purpose and have tried to fix it by angling my light closer to the shorter ones but they are staying short. any advice on how to make that sucker grow to the same height as the rest im open. the rest of the plants seem to look tapered in the photo due to the angle i was standing but they are in fact all mesuring between 12 and 13 inches.

yah a lot of people are using up to 1-2 gallons of frozen water bottles to sit in the res (depending on size). Also there seems to be a large group who have transferred to coolers rather than just regular buckets or the large totes. Either way these people seem to have success and can continue to grow year round in warm climates. Good luck, hope all works out.

If you live in hot climates arent broke or cheap I HIGHLY reccomend the coolers. I use the 5 gallon sport coolers and I live in the desert where Summer temps get over 115 degrees. The coolers keep my water pretty cool. During a res change I add the frozen water bottles 2-3 per cooler and when the water gets about 65 degrees I just take them out and the coolers keep the water at the same temp for a few days to a week. The 5 gallon sport coolers are 25 bucks at home depot or lowe's ...

Here we go i attempted a scrog let me know what you think. also to put things into perspective for me I flower this and keep pushing new growth under the fence till the entire fence is covered then i flower. after that about how much above the fence can i expect the plant to grow? I am working with limited space so thats why i ask. anyhow let me know if i need to fix something or change it up for better results.

It's hard to say what kind of stretch an unknown stain will do.
Depending on your height availability I would move the screen down and start tucking them now.
