Two movers, moving 12 lights each. The kit we got was too heavy for our liking, so it's a customized version.

Since you're running CO2, have you experimented with higher daytime temps?
What differences have you noticed?

Yeah man, that's the plan..We added the Nematodes today, called Steinernema feltiae , 50 million of them, and sprayed the fabric as well. The next batch of todes are arriving next week. These are the Larvanem kind and will be used possibly in combination with a full strength application of bennies.
We found out that the Bavaria Bassiana fungi is one of their worst enemy's so we also
ordered three liters of Botanigard ES for three applications of 400 liters each or 100iG. This is the heavy strength application according to the a rep of Koppert, (the manufacturer )and will be in the amo box waiting for us in case we need it after the nematodes and tea's!

We have in previous runs. This strain however likes it a bit cooler,we have noticed. Uptake is same

I know the answer is somewhere in this thread but I can't seem to find it. What strain are you running? My area of BC is pretty much GC or PK country.

Time for an update:)
Screens are filling in nicely. This is the busiest time for us trying to manage the canopy, keeping it even by lots of training, pinching, bending and pruning the bottoms gradually.

that canopy is driving me nuts! How do you get in there to change your bulbs once it’s time for 12/12? i won’t be able to sleep sound till you share your secret. FYI i’m stealing your design as well, after i saw the pic of the ocean of buds! you rock big socks!!! BC Farmer your garden is a rubik cube of a setup. do you mission impossible hover over the canopy to switch to HSP? are your screens flush from wall to wall or is there wiggle room? Sensei, any information would be appreciated.

Mission Impossible has crossed our mind for sure :-) The troughs are on heavy duty casters, so we slide them back and forth and while designing we calculated the height so we can sit on our rolling chairs and maintain the canopy underneath. We have room but not much on each side to maximize the spread.

Yeah man, same page. We are confident we will keep controlling the aphids. Girls are doing amzing. Full strength tea coming up, no signs of stresss.

TK, here are the pics as promised. I hope it clarifies the layout somewhat. Feel free to PM and we can go more into detail there.

We shot a few pics of our training. We stand on 5g pails and bend over the canopy in order to see all our squares and make sure each one is filled with a budsite. We have come across lots of roots shooting through the surface of the coco and will have to add more.
Changed the AWings to summer setting and we decided to go the full run with mix spectrum this time. Stretch appears to have slowed drasticly by slowly setting the clock to 12/12, however we also have training almost every day since we started reducing the hours so its a bit early to claim that perhaps.
Here are the pics, we are one week in.
