I use flip boxes so i do turn down the bulbs until later in flower if both rooms are going at the same pace. Lots and lots of crawling. Ill post photos of this other blue dream room i am not even able to crawl on the floor. not much space anywhere, well see how it yields but it looks good. Green cracks, barely stretched. on a 4.5 foot plant they stretched about a foot. That was a sealed room and had co2, some greasy sparkly sheet.

I think I read u flip them lights every hour and a half. Seems like a lot of stress on the bulbs and balasts. HR tested every 3 hours then went to every 6 hours so just once a cycle. Something to think about for ya.

Ur details on the crawling Ive heard that before. It further solidifies why I prob wont do this style, I fucked my back up lifting up and leaning over caring for spoil pots back in the day. So now ease of training and caring is upmost importance to me. That's a huge advantage I have with my vert donut screens. I simply stand right in front of the canopy, and deleaf, prune, and tie branches to perfection with leaning over at all. It has been a huge help.

Thnks for all the details, hope u kill it with ur setup bro.

yeah a little over 2 grow4flo. first time with this one, it sure is fun!


Not sure what exact crack it is, but i did get it from a friend in humbolt.


And I agree that is too much stress on bulbs and the box, i only use 12/12 on the box and use floros on 24/7 while begging.

Can you show me some photos of the donut? like i said my tresses is my weakest link, I'm up for suggestions.

Look at Ichabod crane's thread, that's where I copied them. He does 6 sites, while u can do 4 site or 5 site donuts as well.

Thanks. Healthy plants. With humity climbing to 70 80% in the day even and no mold. The yellow things are greenhouse lips, like yoyo's for the plants branches. I clip them to the inner trellis on some of the tops because these blue dream nugs grow like a mallet.

Plants look good. One critique i might add, is it looks like the lights are a little bit high. I like to get the the top of the light even with the top of my tallest nug. However, it looks like if it were lower, it might scorch your plants, in which case it might be better off where its at. Just a thought.


You can send the ruined crop over here too. :moon:d9 you funnyguy

Thanks for the tip, ill give it a try. Im still playing with the lights trying to figure out what works best for me. I did raise the lights because a ffew got burned but next time they are getting pruned differently.

Started to rain! thanks to the team of people who helped me errect this thing in two evenings. Sturdy, and has a nice 25x70 piece of greenhouse plastic over the top. Girls are protected from those nasty winds now too. The left side plastic is about a food from the ground.

in the first photo a plant is sick and dying, the lid to the bottom bucket had collapsed and sat in water for a day or so, and never recovered. It perks up at night but even on a could rainy day it is still severely wilted.

it seems pretty chill here. but i was not expecting them to get big.
Theres a pack of dogs that sleep in the yard, and aren't too kind to strangers, at this point I'm not leaving the house very often.
