I think they will grow out of it.Do You still have new growth pushing in the top. I messed my timer up and they ran 24/7 for a week and they didn't like it at all. Soon as back the hrs back they done good
ps whats in them little cups to the left of the big photos is that for the outside herb garden
I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. One remaining female who has grown amazingly since the corrections MAY be showing hermie tendencies
First pic was April 26th
The next 3 were taken on 5/3
Pretty impressive growth I'd say

What changes did you make?
End of week 11 and the ladies grew about two inches this week. Not a lot, but they had the stress of the transplant to deal with.
Next update in a week.
Peace,

So far I have been happy with them. I thought the 9" might give better coverage in a five gallon bucket, but the diameter favors the outside of the bucket. I'm probably going to switch them back to the six inch that I used last grow, although their diameter favors the inside of the bucket.
The mad scientist in me says re-plumb and run a six inch and nine inch in each bucket and alternate feedings with each.
I noticed the risers under them looked short compared to the ones that came with mine. Maybe you just buried them deeper. If you double that height you'll get more splash = greater coverage. Might work great for the 6".
You can drill some holes on an angle to broaden your spray

What are your feed cycles?
Thanks for the ideas. Right now the ladies are being fed in Hempy tradition, every other day, since they were recently transplanted. Once the roots hit the bottom of the bucket/resevoir I will probably begin feeding daily right on through flower.
The hydroton/perlite mix I use does not retain as much moisture/nutrients as the original perlite/vermiculite mix. Once the roots have filled the bucket the ladies seem to really like the daily feedings.[/QUOTE
Somewhere in the archives (~ May 2014/16) I ran a thread where I first tried HH drip. If you're curious, you might find some useful tips. Pretty sure I was feeding multiple times a day. Here's a few pics from that grow, though I do not see the rings/tubing etc, it was auto feed.
I used Air Pots with lava rock, which was fast draining, which allowed for multiple feedings. However the lava broke down. Eventually, I moved on to polished rocks, which I still use
