Whatever looks like the light wont get to....How much longer you think before you flip.????Those bigger ones are going to cover some of the ones beside them...how come you don't put all the big ones together so you can have even light distribution ????Or are all the roots too hard to separate???

I was planning on moving all of the tall ones to the same side for flower.. the roots are ok for now.. it will be easier to distribute light will all 4 hoods going instead of just 3.

Hell yeah.....be waiting on updates...: P

for sure.. give me a few hours and Ill get some new pics up!!

HAPPY 4TH everyone!!! smoke it up!

looking good man... few comments/suggestions though..
1) your lights look a little funky.. try putting them closer together for a more even spread across the unit.
2) why do you do your ventilation like that? why not cut holes in the sides of the room and have your lighting ventilation independent. this would make your ac, your vent fans, and your co2 burner work way less. i'm sure you know this, but the idea is to intake from the outside and exhaust to the outside in order to not affect the environment inside your room.
3) those vent fans PULL much better than they PUSH. just a heads up.

Hey Purple-- I appreciate the comments for sure man!! The only reason I have my lights like that is because some of the plants were taller than others and growing at different rates because there are many different strains. I had to angle them to evenly distribute the light. I also only have 3 lights and not 4 so that was an issue also.
-With the ventilation: I am actually in the process of venting the lights to the outside!! I wont be able to pull air from outside for it though.. the best I could do is pull it from the other room.. I just recently moves the fan to the other side of the lights so that I could vent outside! Its def making everything wayy hotter!

I should be doing all of this tomorrow.. ill post some pics right after!

UPDATE: sorry its been a few days.. Ive been kind of busy... I am making a couple changes to the room and I still havent flipped the lights... Actually, my pump got turned off for about 20 hrs. and I almost lost the entire crop! Most of the plants came through ok but some are just not the same. I will post more pics later tonight of everything new in the room. I am having an issue and I'm not sure what it is. HELP ME!!

This is happening to a few of the plants.. I dont know if its a burn or a deficiency... Please help me.. The partial yellow greening is mostly on the Sour D clones that I used. The brown spots are on a few different plants.. The pH was around 5.7 and the ppm was 810.. I lowered it to about 490 last night. Some of the stems on some of the leaves are purple!! What causes this? I read a little about it and I get different info from different sources.ANY INFO IS HELPFUL!! THANK YOU ALL!!

damn, thats too bad dude!

Yea I know..

looks like your ph is good. but that what my sativa did when it locked out.. i changed the water and the new growth was good. the ones that looked like yours eventually got reall dry and burnt lookin

for sure.. got florakleen in there now and going to change the res tomorrow.. also going to flip the lights tom night.. 48 hrs of dark then 12/12

what sized net cups are you using. I know the aeroflow holds 3in but in your pics the look bigger than 3in.

I am using the 3 inch cups that they came with. I am NOT using the coco cups that came with them though.. the roots would have been in a big ball lol..

Worrrd lets see hey man sorry i avnt been on in a minute been working on my second room
but anyway ur moms look nice healthy and fat. theyre lovin that t5
same thing happend with me but it wasnt 20hr mine was more around 12hrs or so but yeah i left my pump unplugged ended up going to LA for the day and forgot, but i took care of everything and all my plants survived.
you will need to keep a close eye on your roots for the next week or so make sure no rot or mold has found a nesting place inside your tubes keep an eye on the roots make sure they stay pearly white. adding a silicone bassed addite will make they roots fatten up so they intake more water, increasing overall plant growth
also you can top any of your plants if you decide they are growing too tall too fast. and what i mean by top is pinch off the they very top newest growing shoot so the plant will focus all it growth around the middle and base.
Any questions ive got answers :}
