    Maybe you thought of it, maybe not.... You could ditch the hooks the carabineers are on and wrap the cord around the ceiling pole then clip the carabineers to the cords. Would get you more height if you need it 2¢

    You can grow a nice size tree in a 3gallon pot.

    Is the big tent still vegging? Thought you flipped...sorry can't keep up with everyone's grow. A lot of you are doing so well. And your still running leds in there? Hmm what made you decide to do different lighting aside from cost? Supercropping can make some dank so get out some tape and ties lol. Idk if switching lights would help or moving them into the big tent. Hps really gives you a lot of light through the whole plant down to the soil especially if it's well groomed.

    The big tent has tons of room to stretch. It’s just the aurora indicas in the little tent. They’ve stretched a chunk already, most I’ve read says 5-9 inches and they’ve hit about 5 I think. I’ll need to super crop or something for height and horizontal room. Shouldn’t have done 5 gallon pots in there.

    Lol I thought you had room for stretch? That's why the mh is good for the first couple weeks after flip. But the stretch can last a good 3-4 weeks into flower so you my have to supercrop. I have 1000 watt so i have 3.2 inches and I'm glad my stretch is over. Thought I was going to have to move them out of the tent. 4.5 inches isn't a whole lot of room for stretch even my indica dominant hybrids made me move the light up.

    Check out my post from 1/21 (Flower day 16 supercrops) Those two are two of the fattest now

    Supercrop!
    The cola I supercropped at day 21 of flower is my best cola now! The ones I took down in the week before that are also larger than the rest. I plan to supercrop as much as I reasonably can at the end of the stretch from now on. Plus, it frees up space!

    Big tent was fed tonight (GSC, WW)week 2 flower FF at 3/4 strength, with cal mag and silica ph’d at 6.3. Everything seems good got the temp better by moving the fans. Today was day 9 of flower for the AI’s and day 6 for the GSC/WW. AI’s need to stop stretching. I’ve got about 4.5 inches of room left to raise the lights and keep 18”. Everything else looks good in there.

    Yep, I ended up adding a second intake fan due to reduced flow.

    Yea I have two intakes that have ducting and two with just an open port and a piece of fabric pot covering it. One with ducting is an active intake. I could get some more ducting a run it to that corner but I’m not sure how well it will work with length and 90s I’d have to put in for it to work well. Anyways I’ll see if just having the fan in that corner fixed the stagnation there.

    I use flexible ducting inside my tent that moves air from intake fans to where I want it.

    I have an active intake at the front left of the tent on the bottom. The exhaust intake is probably 2/3rds if the way up right now. Unfortunately how the tent is designed there’s no real intake in the back left which is the hottest pocket, I didn’t have time before lights out to get real crazy this aM moving fans I think I will put the fan back in that corner to just push that air out.

    Yep, I have two sensors and they are about 4 degrees off when lights are on. I don't know how far off they are when Lights are out because I cannot see one them!
    Air movement around the base of plants helps... Not sure how you could accomplish that... I use my intake fans.

    Moved my hygrometer around the tent some the last few days. As I suspected I had a pretty drastic change in temps, the back where the 2 Wonder Woman are was running 4-7 degrees warmer than the front of the tent. Kind of explains why I felt like the WW2 still looked droopy after I got the tent to cool off. There isn’t much more I can do with passive intakes, wish I had the room to move where the exhaust sucked from but no more room for ducting. I reposition my canopy fan to hopefully just move that air around better. Will see if that helps.
