Haha trying to get back to it after a year of constant fuck ups.
Flipping the 3x3 in 7-10 days too. Then ill use my 2x2 for veg, and get shit back on track to where im flowering 8-10 plants at a time.

 

[Nesta]

Looking good GS!

 

[GoodShit97]

3x3
Everything going to flower in 7-10 days. Minus the 2 solo cups that are still in there

Plus a tray of clones

Did I read that right and you’re going to have 10 plants in your 4x4 in 5 gallon pots? If so, I’d love to see how you set it up and tips for maintaining. I have a 4x4 and found it overwhelming with 5 plants, though I felt like I could’ve fit 6.

Do you have anything to brace the walls from getting sucked in and smooshing the edge buds?

I totally wish that was possible, but ill be doing 4 plants in the 4x4 in 5 gallon pots, and 6 plants in my 3x3 in 1 gallon pots, 1 will stay in a solo cup.

Ah okay! So we’re both doing 4 in there. I’m going to do 2 in 5 gallon grow bags and 2 in 7 gallon to compare and see if it’s worth it going forward.

Im going down to 3 gallon pots, but im in promix. The 5 gallon pots never really seem to fill out with roots for me unless i veg them for 6-8 weeks. So im going solo-1gallon-3gallon.
I should be able to get 5 in my 4x4 that way and they will be just as big of plants as in the 5 gallon pots.
My 1 gallon pots are growing 3 foot plants so i dont see the need for 5 gallon pots anymore.

Heres one in a 1 gallon pot

What’s your yield on 1 vs 3 vs 5? Is it more or less the same?

Ive only ever run 5 gallon pots tbh. This will be my first run in the 1 gallons.
I still have to get 3s but im thinking nursery pots instead of fabric.

Gotcha! I'll be looking forward to the results

I wanna try some of these...I use jiffy peat pellets currently. I'm learning lol. Trying to keep em nice and green with no yellowing. Currently at about 10% success on that lol

I still use jiffy for seeds an sometimes small clones but lately I’ve just used root hormone and stuck them in a red cup with soil.

Use them a lot for the garden still. Start inside and move out later.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Apples & Bananas went into the 4x4 for flower just now.
Cant wait to watch these grow, hopefully i do half as well as @SweetLeafGrow did with them.

Anytime someone says something about space In a tent, I can't help my self but post these.

420 solos with a plat form mid way or 20+ half gallons.

Lol

So ive been trying to figure out why my dehumidifier hasnt been working the best these past few days....
Think i found out why!!

The cold, low pressure cooling fins are a complete sheet of ice inside my dehumidifier. My guess is its been sucking in all the spray from treating these thrips the past weeks, and froze solid. So now i gotta dethaw that.
Shits prolly half an inch thick

fuck man, hopefully it's not fucked up. ice buildup on those condensers can seriously screw em up.

that's a major reason i made sure to buy a unit that has an auto defrost feature. not sure how it works but i've not had problems with ice buildup.... yet.

 

[GoodShit97]

Cant even see the coils. Its a complete sheet of ice. And dirty as fuck. Gonna go hit it with the air hose lol.

So if it does shit the bed, i need a new one and amazon is really "bad" about delivering stuff.... lmfao
I bought this one when Hurricane Irene hit in 2012 so its definitely seen its use.

 

[GoodShit97]

Heres a better shot now that i played surgeon and opened it up.

damn! eleven years of life and still going, that's impressive.

from the looks, it's probably a good thing you opened it up. take the opportunity to clean that thing.

saw your post about the air hose, disregard.

Tomorrow's project, its soaking wet. I took the blow dryer to it lol

make sure you do a real solid job. with how those things work, disturbing the built up dust may be even worse than just leaving it be. it's a massive fire hazard nonetheless.

For sure. Im gonna go at it a few times throughout the day tomorrow. I got in there a scraped all the big nasty shit off just now, so shouldn't be too much of an issue to clean it out tomorrow

and keep close when you run it again for the first few hours. just to make sure any residual shit burns off given that condenser heats up quite hot.

i forget who said it, but they raised a very valid point about dust being a serious safety issue. apparently they had a growmie that had this big box fan, all caked in shit, in their living room. told the people they should clean it given the hazard. they didn't, a house fire ensued, and they ended up going to prison because their grow was in the house, and well, you can't very well hide a grow when the fucking walls burned down around it.

just a cautionary tale. i myself throw fans away primarily because of the dust, and will likely do the same with my dehuey when it gets to a questionable level. that'll hurt, pricey mofo, but fires are no bueno. you go through it once and never want to do it again. kinda like rolling a car.

I will definitely be buying a new one before spring so this one only needs to make it a few more weeks.
