Yeh Yeh!
My 4x4 came. All the tiny ones are topped for 4 main stems, and the bushes are all tied down everywhere, they should be really prolific in a week or two. So far they look like they are feminised as I suspected.
A chemist friend of mine will be getting me some silver thiosulphate in a couple months so I'll be able to buildup a seed stock as well.

I need to go buy a timer and some ducting and at up the carbon filter this weekend also. And grab a couple cords and get my cords all neatly bundled and squared away. I think after this weekend I'll be done spending money and have everything I'll need.

Got my clip on fans and ducting yesterday, timer and clone light, just need a couple power bars and short extention cords and I'll tidy everything up and take a few cuttings and everything will be finally done!
Veg tent passively vented into flower tent, carbon filter vented out of the tent.

Only problem I could possibly foresee would be humidity reducing filter effectiveness. Temperatures went up a few degrees with both veg and bloom lights on but we'll within tolerances.

Just to be clear, you are saying that your in and out air are not driven by duct fans.
If so, you best check your flow rate, or rather lack thereof.

Correct, no intake fans. I leave the tips of the tent open for circulation.

The carbon filter is coming on every couple hours for half an hour to exchange air, drawing from the veg into the flower and out.

Temps got up to 30C and humidity up to 79%. Adjusted to the filter/fan is running all day, seems to keep it under 30 and around 30-40%. Had some leaf edge browning I think from the heat and fan blowing directly on them.
Did a 1/4 strength feed with 0-10-10 morebloom. Opened a bottom intake and roof port. Raised light up a few inches.

Post some pictures tonight when I take cuttings. I can do 8 and that will bring me to my plant count.

It's an Exhale co2 bag. Mycelium that gives off co2 as it decomposes its food stock, supposed to be good for 600 ppm for 3-5 months, and it just rains down on them.

The light isn't really blocked since I have the two lights in there, it just looks shaded from the one side. Plus I move them around every other day usually.

My temperatures seemed ok today with the filter running during lights on with a few ports opened and the door zipped up completely, I prefer to leave it open a few inches on the top still, since light intrusion isn't really an issue

I think I've already decided how to structure the next batch to maximise my space. I might (assuming they all survive) try half the clones 2-4 stem and half 8-16 or some combination there of.

Assertion time.
When CO2 is released from a compressed tank, the reduction in pressure makes it very cold, which results in it sinking to cover the floor. Given time, it will warm and mix with (dissolve into) the surrounding gasses.
CO2 will not segregate or concentrate on its own.
So putting that Exhale bag out of the way will work just as well as blocking light.

Nicely put.

Hm. My basic understanding is that since the tent is a confined space it just increases the ppm in the tent, and being heavier than air it would 'sink' if it were undisturbed. Since there's fans and ventilation I doubt that sinking and significant build up occurs to any great extent. So my thinking is to have it as near as possible.
I'm not too worried about a fan leaf getting shaded for a day or two, it looks like it's sitting directly on a top in picture but it's really not.
