I forget to close the doors to my rooms more often than I remember to shut them. I have found a few nanners in late flower, but never any seeds. after, first sawing the poles down to even fit in the basement, then realizing how these tents are actually put together, I was surprised I even got it together even after shoving, kicking, and eventually stabbing it into position. I see light peeking out of all the zippers and a couple self made holes. maybe I'll finally get a real pollen spewing hermie to knock something up and give me some viable elite clone only producing seeds.

in the air pots are Scott's og, I have enough to fill the whole stacked donut contraption, but in the square pots I have 6 GAK, which is supposed to be OGxAK-47, and for sour bubbles. the GAK look to have very similar structure to the Scott's og, so I may take the 6 plus the mom and run them on the bottom of the d-stack. or I may take a few of the sour bubbles and construct some kind of something that can be easily moved and stacked to pile the sb's on top of each other in the entrance to the stack since I know they will grow slower and stretch much less than the og's. I was going to wait until I could monocrop the sb in my beds, but I don't really want to wait any longer to taste this plant that so many rave about.

so, I went to do some clean up at the other house, and replace a ballast, and a couple bulbs and fill a couple reservoirs,..etc so I do all the easy stuff and when I begin to clean out the underside off the trellis I am checking out what I thought was some kind of deficiency I want even going to worry myself with, when I see them, shit tons of mites. not just a few. something that should have been caught long ago... if I wasnt so lazy. fucking amateur. it's very bad on the dsd. I'm glad I have more than just this room, because these are going to be some snap, crackle, poping as buds. Fuck.:booked:

Your advice is always welcome!!! An inspiration as well sir! I had a couple of questions for you if I can and appreciate your input you have given.

Ok so I decided going to side by side hexagonal 6 plants each for now and finishing my milk crate/pvc trellis idea(pic in my thread that you have commented on)take a look when you can.

Also I see you like the airpots and have done very well with them. What are your thoughts on them and are there any drawbacks?

Why are the airpots inside the milk crates?

Thanks!

the pvc frame thingy looks solid, you've done your homework, I see. the air pots have served me well, I noticed increase yield after switching, but I switched after my first run, so it may have been my skills increase. the only draw back is the price. when I first started using them, the 1.5 gal was priced similar to the smart pots at the local hydro whore. now that I use 3 gal size they are probably twice the cost of similar size smarties. they are built to last though, and can be used indefinitely. the reason the top row are inside the crates is bc I now use bigger pots and there would be too much space between the top and b bottom plants if they say on top of both crates. I could have used just one circle of crates, but the crates were already part of the design and the structure was solid so I just flipped them to accommodate bigger pots.

sa, I hear you, I'm already on preventative measures everywhere else, this one table is kind of late in the game with extensive infestation, but I'm doin what I can. I was just expecting everything everywhere to be perfect, damn it. luckily it's not my only table. thanks for dropping in:)

quick tent update. everything is humming along. if humidity gets higher, I have a 70 pt dehuey I could plug in the room the tent is in. I'm assuming this is how I would deal with it since a dehumidifier would take up a lot of valuable floor space in a tent.

organizing my sour bubble clone army:biggrin:

I'm going to try to fill the beds. I'd like to have 25 or so per side, but if I only have 12-15 per light I will just veg a bit longer. I have wifi ready for the beds when they are empty, but they may get bumped for these.

Wow that is deff a clone army bro!!

Why do you use the double cup?
My educated guess is so you can see the roots without constant light exposure.
If there are other reasons please enlighten me as I too use solo cups for youngins but have never double stacked them.

I may not always post when checking out your upgrades but I sure love them :)
Cheers,
BeL
