Lol, that's how I managed to end up with 25 plants instead of 12. When I replaced the thermostat and also learned the hard lesson of monitoring the PH, I had planted 12 new plants that had all germinated. I had thought the 46 I had planted the first time were all dead. I had planned on reusing the Jiffy Peat tablets after checking inside a few to find dead seeds (those were cooked due to bad thermostat) What I did not expect was 13 of them to germinate and ended up with 25 plants total. after a lot of chaos, I had everything almost perfect 4 days ago, and only 4 days later I suddenly have a jungle in a 2x4 tent. I took clippings of my best plants, 11 total just to see if I can clone them. But as far as the jungle goes, I was on the phone with HD for a long time because I need my shed fast. so much buds going to be lost with my autos if I don't get my shed together and swap over to hydroponics soon. 6x20x7 should hold 48, 5 gallon pots easily.

I'm using two 1200w LED light panels in a 2x4 right now. I also have two 1000w panels I plan using once I get more space and been looking at the 2000w panels as well. I was surprised running everything for my tent, that my bill only went up about $55. Word of caution if you haven't bought any yet. Don't buy from Alibaba. I heard they were a lot like EBay, but it turns out there are way to many scammers. Been importing for years so know most of the time when someone is trying to scam me, and I actually almost lost $600. Especially if they tell you to wire money, that's a huge red flag. I only caught on because the scammer made a stupid mistake. He gave me the price I offered, even offered to use PayPal, and actually, it was two mistakes he made. I was about to send payment when they told me to email them the transaction ID. Anyone who asks for that, is trying to work around their system, but that halted me in my tracks, then the second mistake he made. I had written about 14 different companies, and when I went to check my email, the scammer had actually replied to 9 of them telling me he already sent a quote. One quote for 9 companies? I then looked up the name they were using and saw a huge list of people who got scammed by him. GWE also has a list of dependable sellers too.

Nice method, keeps the peat tablet moist but not overwatered. Going to try that next grow. Thanks for the pictures!

It's going to be many months before I get to try it. I started my project back in the beginning of December 2016 thinking I knew everything as I had worked for HD in gardening for almost 10 years and was applying what I knew to growing weed and boy did I crash and burn. It was bad enough to be using the wrong fertilizer, temperature, water & PH levels, but on top of all those mistakes I corrected pretty fast with the help of everyone here and the website packed with helpful information, I had disasters like one thermostat going bad and cooking over $600 in seeds, light panels falling on my seedlings because the manufacture had run out of mounting parts and most likely ran to a hardware store and got cheap parts which snapped and hence dropped not one, bot both light panels on top, then the situation where my son ran into my office right in front of my trying to catch my daughters cat and in the process pushed over the grow tent where I lost 25% of my seedlings. After all that, I had 12 plants and things were almost fine which is when I learned about the PH issue and fixed it. While working on my plants, the tray containing 46 cooked peat tablets got a share of the correct PH water and a week later 13 more seedlings out of the lot sprung up. I checked the remaining peat tablets with a tooth pick and those that I found black seeds, I removed the netting and combined the peat into larger pots with the regular soil to help in containing moisture in the soil. I had 4 peat tablets left that were questionable but gave up on them after two weeks and forgot about them till my daughter pointed out two of the 4 had sprouted. Had the other seeds survived from the peat tablets I combined, I would most likely have had some pots with two plants, and that has not happened. Now I'm up to 27 plants, quarter of them Autos, and no room because shed got delayed and all the fixes put in caused my plants a week ago from going from ok, to jungle book fantastic. It's so bad, I'm taking each one out later today to train them which unfortunately will cause them to share the same space as the other plants and my autos are growing into the lights very fast. I raised the panels 6 inches up to find out a day later the autos grew almost 3 inches taller. And may end up with a lot more from the cuttings I took of my best plants. My GSC is my priority as the THC rating taken from the mother was 26%. My regular plants are growing more slowly, thankfully and I will have space cleared out for them shortly as a few friends wanted their own plants so giving 5 of them away which at the moment don't know if their male or female and the test I read up on takes 3 weeks to do which is taking a cutting, then switching the light to 10 hours I believe. Problem with this method, no room should those plants be female cuttings too lol. Out of the 27 plants I have growing, not counting the cuttings, one of them keeps getting nute burn no matter how much food it has gotten, and has gotten barely any. When I say slight burn, just about half the leafs have curled at the tips, browned a little, and rest of the plant including new foliage is fine.

Those look very nice. Some of my autos look similar and the tops look like their starting a haze.

Damn, those look awesome. Now that's defoliation. Still can't get myself to go that far, but you are showing the way. Thanks for the update!

Just introduced mine to the cutters last night after clearing out a few plants. Rooms still an issue but at least I now have spots to put the test clones. Im beginning to wonder if the select few that have been getting taller faster are males. Which would be bad for me because that would mean the tall ones I traded oft to make room Ill have to replace. I also learned why its good to get multiple growth branches to clone instead of a single leaf clone. From my few fails single leaf cuttings cant seem to survive long enough and wilt and go brown while multi leaf seems able to contain enough nutrients and water to grow roots. Think my weee legs are finally kicking in lol.Nice pics too Green75. Guess Im responding backwards now. Or your plants shrunk >_<.
