Its true! Some of the goliath buds just dont have the same " je ne sais quoi "You're rack is really nice, and I just have the basics on my rack- no insulation (sadly). However your minions are growing very very well. The little ones sometimes end up being the biggest or the most potent, so I'm glad you aren't giving up on them :) Can't wait 'till the looks from all of them, even though time is a necessity to make sure they grow well. ^_^
Wow..fantastic job all of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A thought for you..I keep plants in extended veg sometimes, and to stop root circling, I made a sort of Air pot by just melting holes in the plastic nursery pots ..I suggest raising the pots a bit to get more air flow underneath. (pieces of bamboo between the bottem of the pot and drip tray work well)
I actually flowered a Reversed female in one..no issues since I wanted "her/him" small.

What did u end up doing for the doors?
I like the adjustability, ease of assembly, time involved.
I'm doing a few inside starter grows at my cooperative friends houses.
We each start a few , then trade.
Voila what a MAAAARRRRVELOUS idea!!
So far blueberry, white banner , cheese/haze, white widow, skunk/haze, and auto COOKIE MONSTER!!!
I also use 3-15 gallon cloth pots for late veg, just before I flip., but these have small footprints and it's very easy to transplant..Unlike cloth pots which are a PIA..even those with the velcro closures. Roots will stick in the cloth, but not on the plastic..that's why I use them..I have 1 gallon cloth pots that I never used and the real SIR POTS are too pricey for me in veg.That's a nice option if you can't get any cloth pots. Good idea.
Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. I'm actually surprised it made it. It took a little bit of a surgical procedure to help it along. I delicately wanted to inspect what was going on so I started to remove the top soil practically grain by grain. I found it stuck and gave it a couple of days. After no results, I gently assisted the top above the soil. After another 2-3 days the starter leaves never opened. They were stuck together. So I grabbed a sharp razor blade and surgically sliced them open ever so carefully. All of this was a last ditch effort before I tossed it. And there it is, chugging along now. I too am glad I didn't give up on it because it's seemed to find life.You're rack is really nice, and I just have the basics on my rack- no insulation (sadly).

In due time. We have a short grow season so we are getting ad many strains going as possible. Some autis for an early harvestWhy don't you guys just take cuttings and clone?
Nifty ideas. I like it. Thank you. DIY is a lot more rewarding than paying out of the pocket.Wow..fantastic job all of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words. The expense is spot on. I planned on the rack being less expensive than buying another tent. In the end, considering what I spent on materials, it was about the same. The only caveat is I have two completely separate chambers with my rack vs. if I bought a tent. That in it's self makes me feel a little better. Also, I get the satisfaction and enjoyment of building it and customizing it as my own. I like your rack. (your grow rack that is) lol. I never understood how you could keep the veg cycle separate from the flower cycle with one opening. But velcro makes sense. I knew you couldn't possibly have light leakage. I didn't think of velcro, that's why I just made two separate chambers. I'll say it again, I really like your rack. hahaVery nice rack setup. I love mine and have a few of them going in other locations. Great way to save space and it keeps everything nice and tidy. I'm getting great yields from mine and ventilation was built for optimal airflow using just one inline fan and carbon scrubber. I dry my harvested plants in there as well for odor control and it's worked very well for that.
Ironically some folks think my grow racks are expensive, yet by the time you do all the work and buy supplies it really isn't that much more. I'm using a commercial grade rack with dual layer vinyl sides that velcro to the rack so each side is easily accessible at anytime.
I've designed several other grow spaces (in the past) and while they were great, they all take up lots of space. By condensing it down to 1/2 the square footage I can have mine in the corner of my home office and don't have to worry about building a special grow space just to grow. Hell my brother is growing in a 2 bedroom apartment and just had an inspection back in December and they didn't even notice it, lol.
I've got several pics in my grow diaries of my setup so I won't post any more here. But kudos on your grow, you're doing a great job.
I've debated painting it. It's still a work in progressUnless you treat the wood with something to keep moisture out..it will warp and rot in time..Just a thought.
Glad to see I’m not the only one to drill holes in my pots!Wow..fantastic job all of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
