those ladies are so nice you could build a treehouse on them haha :) Nothing to worry about they are doing great man! I would maaaaaybe give them just a little more water as soil looks little bit dryish. I mean you can leave it as it is as well, but just what would I do
Dooood.
That looks AMAZING. Assume they will double in height. They are ready to go. My only suggestion to you is that unless you have access to all sides of the tent, invest in the Floraflex irrigation system or something similar. You back will thank you!
Seriously, looks great man. I have a similar setup but not near the patience to let my plants veg as long or as well as yours.
YES. I actually DO have some. I found that until I raised my pots a couple inches, the system didn't drain for SHIT. I ended up having some old plastic shelves that you assemble yourself that I took apart and used the shelf parts as a kinda of "riser" for the plants. Then I used a low profile "LITTLE GIANT" condensate pump. This is the one I have....Any experience with the drainage?

VCCA-20ULS Series Low-Profile Condensate Pump
Little Giant's VCCA-20ULS low-profile condensate pump features a compact design for removing condensation from HVAC equipment where you have limited space.www.littlegiant.com
Basically, If you build a platform to raise your pots, say, 3 inches, you can use one of these condensate pumps to pump your overflow wherever you need.
If you check my profile, I think I have a close up shot of my pump and riser in my grow journal.
They will leak like crazy if you do.I was also thinking of cutting the connectors to the tubes so they are sitting off the ground.
Anything bigger than a VERY narrow 7 gallon and you will be too big for the floraflex anyway. And if you are gonna only do 3 plants in your 4x8 area, you are probably gonna want pots that are bigger than 7 gallon.
If you are only going to have 3 pots in your tent, you should look into airpots. I just put 6 of the 5 gallon version into my 4x4 and the difference in growth between that and the traditional pots is amazing.
I have 6-5 gallon airpots (technically they are just root pruning pots cause I didn't want to pay for name brand) in my 4x4 right now and I am noticing a LOT more growth from those plants than the 30"x60" with 3 running in the old classic black 5 gallon plastic pot. They ARE all different strains so there is that to consider. I have not tried the fabric pots but I have also heard they are similar in concept to the airpots.I was thinking of airpots. If I go 3 plants I will use a 10gal pot.
Right now im using 5 gal fabric pots, suppose to be similar in concept but I heard airpots are much better

Looks like they are working pretty good for you tough right now.
Dude...1 tent turns into 2, turns into 3, turns into 5...Yeah all trial and error just trying stuff out hahaha. I wish I had more room

7 gallon pots of coco? Gonna be some big girls.
2 gallon pot filling out 3x3. (1.66 square foot less than a third of 4x8). It would be filling it betterthan it is, but it only had about 2x1.5 up until three seconds or third week of bloom. They overgrew and I had to buy more tents. So by the time they got here, growth was not optimal. I pruned admit half the growth because it wasn't where I needed.
Anyway, point is this lady would have had no problem filling the space, had that been the plan from the start. Still ~7 weeks to go. It might end up more full than I think anyway.
Coco = cheat mode. You can only water so often in soil or they suffocate. You can water coco 20 times a day and grow a pound in a shot glass(I know, not really. Just hyperbole). Now for my organic soil tent I'm building, I got a 65 gallon cloth pot for the same plant in the same size tent.
Killer A5 Haze from Ace, in case anyone is wondering. And I snapped this as the CMH was just turning on, it's not actually neon green.
I am in the same boat. Really need to figure out that dripper setup. I'm only running my nutes at half strength. Not super dosing.5 gals and I hand feed 1 time daily to runoff. I dont have drippers setup.
