Life catches up to you in the blink of an eye, Iv been neglecting the tent but I’m going In this weekend to raise the light, prune, and top these resilient girls.
Here’s a before

And after they were put into the system

 

[chemistry]

Prospective squishing on the horizon.

 

[Growrx]

Today I cut off the lowest node, which typically doesn’t grow very well, and topped at the 6th node. Tomorrow I’ll be doing some tie downs and a water change before by 4 day vacation

 

[Growrx]

I greatly neglected this run.. and ended up losing all 6 plants. The 5x5 is down for a while.
Did a bit of remodeling to our room and this is my new grow space for now.

 

[chemistry]

I like the corner unit idea, space saving, three medium sized plants out of there easy. Reflectiveness may be up too as its triangular.

Which node would you recommend topping for a smaller tent this size?
Last time I tried using this light in a smaller tent with lst it grew too tall.

Forgot to mention these were autos

 

[chemistry]

I like to top once, in my grow space that normally gives me four foot plants instead of six footers. If I top twice, normally I get three footers. I find its not so much height but width that causes me problems in a small space. Ideally I like to end up with six side shoots , I find that controllable.

 

[chemistry]

Scrogging is another way of having full sized plants, but with out the height restrictions.

Had another look at this tent while browsing, and if it was my tent, I'd knock up a triangle shaped scrog net and grow one plant, only the one bucket to contend with, and shouldn't take long to fill the scrog, you could get away with a small LED light, and save some money on your bills.

 

[Growrx]

Ended up sticking with the 3 bucket system this run, let’s see how things pan out. Like @chemistry said, maybe on the next run just one monster plant.
Do you guys think they are ready to flip? I always struggle with the light getting to the top of the tent.

 

[chemistry]

I'd flip, they will still make treble the plant they are now. Been wondering which way you would go with this tent.

 

[Cashmeh]

Id flip soon too. The stretch during flower can be quite a bit in hydro. Im thinking ill do 2 weeks from now on if I have a system available.

 

[Growrx]

The people have spoken!!
Defoliation, water change, and a flip comin in hot!

Final:

Just switched to 12/12
It’s flower time!

When I ran one of those pumps the fuse went, like you I had it on the floor, and it syphoned out all three of my buckets down to a couple of inches, put you pump higher than your buckets, just in case of a power failure of some sort. Plants will go for it, good strong stems on them.

That device you see is actually an air pump, believe it or now I’m actually not using a pump to circulate the water this time.

 

[Observationist]

Got in the tent today and added some more tie downs and they are looking good, top 4 have been lst’d, bottom left topped, and bottom right no training with defoliation.

I want a box

Where do I get a box like that

Box like what? Are you referring to the wooden box?
