I do not see the 30 k in lights, You might consider between cycles boxing off you electronics to protect them and keep some heat out. I will give you even more of an edge on the a/c. Since you want to run 15 in there you might consider putting some plants on the outside wall. this would give you better air circulation less stress. If you think that might work just try it with one plant,train the clones to grow 180* of the plant. that row you could stack your lights. Have fun. JK

Papa my cages are 50 inches tall my water level is controlled by floats, computer and sensors water level alway stays the same I wish I had a pic of my roots from veg the only thing that has changed is in week one my rh was 38% and now it ranges 60% to 70% because I started using misters on my floor

Jk thanks for the advise

 

[Drdre]

Jk I'm running 24 vert lights and 6 over head 3 umbrellas 6 adjust wings to see what yield difference is what do you mean outside wall

 

[Jalisco Kid]

Looks like you have 3 rows of 5 plants each.If you plan on running the same strain or same growth type, I would keep my center row as is. My two Öutside rows rows 1 and 3 I would put against the outside walls. You will soon see those lights on the outside are going to become heat traps, not much circulation. If you take that light and stack it with the one in the neighborhood your plants will be given more usable light. Your center plants will really blow up. my center row I lean a plant one way and the next one the opposite.(towards outer rows) JK

Its not that overgrown,as I find trees do not stretch like an 18"plant will do. I would make sure I have enough floor fans for flower. Trim 12-18" on the branches from the stalk. This will give you an airway up the middle of your plant to improve its health later in flower. I would run some yo-yo's in there to help you place those branches. Now I would be plotting out these positions to max you light/shade for later. Either sulfur burn or spray your plants to help with botritis later. Hope you enjoy your system as you could have easily purchased a worse system. You must sleep better now that you have been detrolled. Suerte JK
I just noticed your lights out pic. If that was my room I would spend about 6 hours positioning my plants/branches,climb up on a ladder for a different prospective. And I would pull down some branches and raise your lights.

Always good info from JK.

And I agree u need to trim them up ASAP. Lollipop each branch.

Good luck.

I do not see any but I would throw a few bug traps in there is not any. JK

 

[Drdre]

what kind of bugs are we talking about here

 

[Smallzz]

maybe something like this? I don't often try to speak for people who know more than me (like Jalisco), but when I do it usually ends up with one foot in my mouth and the other in my ass. :oops:

Looking good!

You can always tie the plants back if they get too close to the lights. And like JK said the ballasts in the room is generating a lot of heat. You should try to put them outside next time.

I make my own traps as the ones you can buy are costly and too flimsy. I go to OD and buy a sheet of there yellow foamboard and then at HD I get a small tub of tanglefoot. I get 24 traps that I mount on bamboo skewers. There are blue traps also for thrips but I never have seen one in my rooms yet.
Hows your grow going? JK

 

[Drdre]

Cap thanks already been using plant twist tie to hold my girls away from lights

Jk my room is looking great I took your advice partially I thinned out my front 5 plants to see my difference
In useable weight

I've heard many people say these tubs are to big but my tubs are completely full of roots I don't see how they could get any smaller
Pics coming soon

Love my root porn. Your last photo is showing more yellow in the leaves, Is this just on the one plant or is your room like that? I did not notice it it the above shots, wondering if something was hitting on that one girl or if she was just settleing into her sunset years. JK

 

[Drdre]

ok here we are half way through week 4 thing are looking good no burnt buds. the last pic I posted was of some leaves yellowing that is caused from these massive roots they grew down the drains and clogged my drains it soaked my Rockwool cube and that plant did not like that so when in doubt check roots out, luckily I caught it be for I had a flood the water was a 1 1/2 from the top of my tub so believe me when I say these tubs could not be any smaller my plants are eating 175 ppms a day its crazy water temp 63 room temp 75 humidity 66%

 

[Drdre]

jk have you seen leaves do this from rockwool cube to wet? it was only plant to do it and it was only one almost over filling

 

[Jalisco Kid]

That's why I have an Overflow and built in screens in my designs. Can you install a screen filter on your outlets? Hopefully it will only get worse. Don't let that harvest get you depressed,it will be over sometime. Lord knows I hate trimming my flowers. Suerte, JK
As for the too much water around your crown just keep an eye out for damage in your pots and crown. Do little pressure test, if it stops being rock hard you might have problems down the road.
