Well, today things are slightly better than yesterday. All the weaving under I did yesterday is actually helping in that I only have a few spots that are more than 4 to 6 inches above the trellis. I thought perhaps they might unweave themselves or just grow their way out overnight. All in all, a gain of some time before running out of headroom. Here is how it looks this morning.Just cut the trellises.. I'd hate to have to do what you're doing. haha. I'd do everything possible to make it work.
I already went through some humidity issues. Removed the humidifier once I realized it wasn't needed. The RH is currently running about 53% with the light on, 50% with it off. I've worked the exhaust ducting and AC-Infinity controls to use the fan more effectively to control humidity as well as temp. And I have to say that the RH definitely dropped after I clipped, but the air conditioning has been on more lately as well, and that really makes a difference.lookin damn good in there. would definitely recommend doing some defoliation. you're going to run into serious humidity issues sooner than later with how dense everything is in there.
I am keeping a close eye on both. Interestingly, the runoff EC is finally higher than the input for the first time. Ever since I turned the lights down the ec has been climbing in the runoff. I assume less nutrient uptake, partly due to less light, partly die to defoliation.I should caveat this with you must 100% ensure you're on top of your EC and pH.
likely, yeah. that's a good point I didn't touch on too. if you defoliate heavily, dial the lights back and drop the input feed for a few days while they recover. with your plants being so healthy, they shouldn't get terribly stressed out, but it's a good practice to not push em while they get over being chopped up.I am keeping a close eye on both.

looking nice!I’m waiting for day 21 to lollipop and defoliate. Also I love the drain away drain trays. They have a level pedestal and then the rest is slopped to the drain hole so it creates flow marking it so you can use on a flat surface.
first picture is feb 15th and second 2 pictures are from feb 28th. Exploded and filled the screen perfect. Also I flipped on feb 15th
If your netting is buried in the canopy, just string a new one across the top. This last run I wanted to get the colas 8 inches above the net with the light at least 16 inches above that.Just cut the trellises.. I'd hate to have to do what you're doing. haha.

Yes, I have two more nets on order - and a taller grow tent. My plan is to cut away the existing trellis nets so I can move the plants and replace the entire tent. I've already raised the light as high as I can.If your netting is buried in the canopy, just string a new one across the top.

Lol, blew past that, more like 13" tall pillars and now I'm shovivg my light up to the ceiling of my tent.
Glad that's mostly done! Went straightforward except the zippering together of various bits. A real pain to get the zippers started - took me 30 minutes of the whole shebang. Will have to spend more time reweaving the tops into the trellis. I lopped a few weakling branches while the plants were out, but got too tired to do a proper trim. There were a lot of branches hanging because of the weight - those that make it to the trellis will stay, and I'll pinch/break the stems so they grow back stronger.Today my Gorilla Grow 4x4 tent arrived, and I spent about 4 hours taking down the old tent and putting up the new ones. This is the consequence of allowing that 5th week of veg. I'll post pics of the whole thing in another post, but here are some.
I have a rotating fan underneath. I did have another, but I took it out a few days ago when I got an input duct fan. I closed the vent holes at the bottom of the tent, and the whole thing is pressurized. Trying to keep humidity under 55.It's a jungle ya got there! I can't tell but get a fan blowing under the canopy if you dont already.
I swear I'm cutting a bunch every day! Except really hard to get to the far corners. But I'm thinning, thinning, thinning, As I remove leaves, others become more obvious to cut - but I can only lie on one elbow for so long at my age. Next time I'll leave another foot behind the tent so I can get in the back side to trim.It's a jungle ya got there! I can't tell but get a fan blowing under the canopy if you dont already.
