Hang that screen from some yoyo's, off of your ceiling framework...then you can raise the rack as they stretch, and control the bud weight stress on branches.

About 4.5 feet I think. They are stretching like crazy and still got more left in them.

Looks like you are using two carrots per three gallon bag. I am considering moving to blumats to simplify my irrigation needs. I too use three gallon pots. Your feed is a gravity feed reservoir correct? I have a smaller garden than you, only six pots. So that should work for me. Does your post number 253 still hold as the method for setting up the blumats drip rate? And is there a primer you could recommend for blumat use?

only using one per pot. if there is more than one in a picture its simply a place holder. one is good enough for 3 gal by far.

as far as the post being accurate i would say yes, depending on your ratio of coco and if its cut with perlite or not. the more perlite you have the "wetter" you can/should run them. not soggy and heavy as hell but solidly moist all the way through. been doing a weekly flush to send residual salts down and out. gonna test 4" rockwool cubes and blumats soon.

Excellent work, getting great ideas from this thread!

thanks, after my last failure because of root rot/overwatering in my recirculating hydro system i needed a win. took me a while to figure out what the fuck i was doing wrong and by the time i figured it out it was too far gone. still harvested a few lbs but nothing worth keeping. it all is getting blasted.
