looking good, quality is proper....
imo
with those vert bare bulbs
the plants COULD have gone taller, bulb puts out a 4 ft TALL canopy when flipped vertical. I know u r in small confined space (low low ceilings), but still could veg a tad longer and get more out of your lites & growspace & plants.

growing with vert bare bulbs is great
flowering really enhances yeilds due to increased size of canopy
but in veg it can contort plants and grow them bushier rather than taller... even when i vegged with vert bare bulbs i would pull the plants up above the canopy, and eventually even started vegging under horizontal bulbs until just a week or 2 before the flip into flowering.

bigups whodatis, def glue-ing it up.

Thanks for stopping in guys. Thanks for the tips too avinash. I veg horizontal as long as I can and then throw them down there around the vertical bulb. I tried to get them as tall as I could without them topping out and hitting the subfloor, definitely better this time height wise. This was a better run hands down but there is always certainly room for improvement. I think I'm sticking around this house for awhile yet too so I'm hoping to get at least two glues out in my baby greenhouse for my first outdoor experience (one attempt years back in NC doesn't count). I want to do a side by side comparison with a traditional organic container and one in my tower garden to see how they do. Hell, I'd like to even test them both at the end to see actual lab results but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. We'll see. Dare to dream?

I just chopped all the glues down an hour ago too. Harvesting is bitter sweet....and I hate trimming.

I finally got around to freeing up enough space to move the plants out of my small little closet. I got one of these nice shelving units from a big box store and wrapped it part way with panda plastic and hung up my 4 bulb T8 light in there. So much nicer to have more room vertically to keep vegging them bigger. Picked up this model, I'm sure everybody has seen one at one point or another.



Here's what 2 days can do to hanging plants too

Holy shit are those phonebooks?!

That's what they're good for these days 'eh?

Lookin' great whodat! Though I hope that drying method doesn't turn out to be a major pain in the ass. My fear of doing all my trimming dry is that it'll become less like trimming and more like dissection.

That's the only thing I've ever used those phone books for haha. I've wet trimmed in the past and I think it leads to too quick a dry and the finished buds would be more prone to having that chlorophyll cut grass/hay smell. The crawlspace probably stays around 65% relative humidity down there so I don't have to worry about stuff drying out too quick. I also still have the oscillating fan blowing onto them on the end of the path if that makes sense so they aren't constantly getting fan air. Keeping the fan leaves and everything else on there helps slow down the dry and keeps the nice smell in there. Dry trimming just seems to work out better for me.

Not really. I chopped everything and it was drying slow down in the crawl. I recently took them apart, pulled all the large fan leaves, and have been letting them dry out some more in paper grocery bags before trimming them up. Bonafide trimming should start here soon though, hopefully before the holiday weekend Nahmsayn?

Biggest development is that I have a space to run the 3 glues and 8 bhodi testers I've been vegging outdoors for the first time. I have to ready the plot and plant them soon though. Any suggestions on how best to set up an outdoor plot? I was thinking about digging out a trough of sorts and dumping in a bunch of mixed soil with dry amendments. I could also do a raised bed but would rather keep it as simple as possible. Plus the area is on a hillside so I'm trying to work with the flattest spot and terrace it out accordingly.

I've had great results digging holes outdoors and replacing the soil like you're talking about. Great big plants!

The damn mule deer will be the biggest concern, definitely going to have to put up a decent enclosure.
