And it has excellent exhaust you can actually see the tent bowing in from the suction heat is definitely leaving that tent and I got two fans going
Lowering the light should help with the stretching and 18" seems like a safe distance.
You're still running dimmed too right?
It sounds like you've got the temperature and exhaust under control now.
Really, the tacoing was more of a heat issue than it was lux issue I think.
What's the watering situation like?
They're big enough now to get a proper drenching every couple days.

I just started doing that here lately I put in a 32 oz Dunkin donut cup of water and I seen that they can still take more so I done two Dunkin' donuts cups 32 oz. I think next time they'll get a whole half a gallon I'll soak the whole damn pot cuz they be drinking a lot I know that cuz I lift them they're heavy and then a day or so later they're really really light again. Yeah I'm thinking the taco one is more of the string really because as you can see in the one picture with Krissi yeah mind it she's got taco and on top of her leaves but what about weighed down at the bottom on the last note Taco there too and all that shit was in the shade so maybe it is genetics with the taco and the heat wasn't that bad in the tent to begin with the hottest it ever got was 83°. That's not all that hot I just didn't have exhaust in there.
Now let me ask you a list I got no intake coming in but I got one of the side vents open it's got like a screen on it and I believe that's sucking air in I'm wondering if that's enough or should I add an intake fan that little small squirrel fan that I have
Also just in case it was like a whirlwind in there and it was the wind making the leaves curl I put the bigger fan on low and I put the smaller fan that clips on the side way up at the top but I have nothing blowing on the ground by the pots should I move a fan down there maybe that was the problem because I've never had problems like this before with intake and outtake no curling no nothing. You see this one note I'm going to show you a picture it looks like the damn Eiffel Tower. Ha this happened because of my stupid ass I thought the light was way too close blah blah blah when it was probably because I didn't have no exhaust in there to begin with and it was like a damn Sierra desert with that the actual high heat cuz like I said the highest it ever got in there was only 83 degrees and technically that's really not that hot. I think in veg growth marijuana with 75 to 80°and humidity's been staying steady at 49% for like the last 2 weeks

Like I said the only reason why I had that light so damn high cuz I didn't want the plants to get hurt and evidently it was too high cuz it made them stretch and yes everything's sitting at low the 220 Watts only at 50% so it's only doing 110 and the 110 watt I have it on top of my small scrog sitting at about 15 inches from the plant I think I might lower it a little more cuz it's looking pretty good underneath there I bent the hell out of it so maybe they're still recovering I know Chrissy's got to be recovering from what happened to her and I think the reason why that bigger plant leaves was drooping this morning because when I lifted it up it felt really light and I gave it some water before I left for work

I just can't figure out this lux shit cuz it tells me 15,000 to 50,000 for vegetative growth but yet it tells you know where to sit it at I mean hell my luck's maximum will go to I think it's 60,000 which is perfect for flowering so they be getting at about 16,000 right now lux that's why I can't wait to get that one light man I get that one light I think I'll be good I don't know hell
If you're seeing the tent cave in a bit, that's a good sign.
it means you're drawing new air in passively through the vents you have as the tent exhausts.
It sounds like you're probably underwatering though. But that's easy to fix.
Water slowly, wait a bit and then water a bit more later on.
Then you ensure the soil is properly saturated.
I veg around 18", and usually run the light dimmed until near the end of veg.
They can handle it full blast though once they're big enough they just don't really need that much light.
In flower they get about 12" away. I kind of just wing it or rely on the manufacturers suggestions.
I've never took readings myself. Can't help much more with that unfortunately.

Shit that's some actually very good advice right there! Yeah and I'm thinking I ain't been giving them nowhere near enough water that could be it as well because less water means they're getting less of their nutrients even though it's got nutrients in the water that I'm giving them it's just not enough.
So next time I water they will get a half a gallon each and I'm going to saturate them real good I'm going to wait till they're all the way dried out and they're really light when I pick them up because I can tell by that when they need water like this morning before I went to work but I didn't give that one that much I just wanted to give her a little something at least I got to make some more nutrients up when I get home nothing else needs watering right now so a couple days they'll get there half a gallon each I'll wait till they're all very light to the pickup then I'll give them a half a half gallon each let the water settle and then give them the rest of the half gallon. But I don't know man 2 gallon pots is half gallon going to be enough for them or should I just say fuck it and go with a gallon or 3/4 of a gallon there's just so much shit man one day at a time I guess I've been on nerves already with work so damn busy people ain't doing a job wants to stand around and lean on the counter why everybody else is working but yet I helped them with their drinks I said dude I said you're a lazy mother fucker I said go on home get out of here you're done for the day and it's everyday with the same guy just because you ain't got nothing to drive through window don't mean that you can't help everybody else out it don't work like that I'm sorry

So regrowth let me ask you I told you how my ventilation is and how my tents bowing in from sucking all the shit out is that hurting it by not having an intake I have a little small square window open with a screen on it for air to come in is that good enough or you think i should add an intake?
When your tent is sucking in like that, it's creating a vacuum effect and pulling in air.
But that also means your exhaust is sucking out a bit more air than it's taking in.
There's some sweet spot with how many vents you can open for extra air,
while maintaining the pull you get from the negative pressure.
You can experiment with that but you shouldn't need an intake fan.
The lady I have now in a 2g drinks about a gallon at a time I think.
Just making some bubble hash atm.

Thanks brother
93,000,000 miles.
Also, not every plant will pray so don't use that as your gauge.Use the photon app as I mentioned. No guessing, no eye balling.
Starts at 15,000 and should be at 50,000 when you flip. It's like saying that kids children are 1-5 feet tall.
That's way to low. Lux should be going up as the plant ages. Photon app FTW.
No, the intake should be below the plants to draw fresh air up through the leaves.
My 2 gallon pots actually get runoff at half a gallon (or two 32oz containers) so that surprises me! Either way, water to runoff no matter how much it takes.
I water to runoff twice, waiting a few hours in between. She's root bound to the point she needs water daily though lol.
But you're right and I do lose quite a bit to the drip tray. Got a little hand pump to make my life easier but still sucks.
Oh I forgot to ask...have you considered supercropping that tall one and anything else that gets out of hand?

But seriously any suggestions and you can download the pic and draw on it if you want to to help give me some ideas I was thinking about just squishing about 2 in of the stem and bending it down level with the other tops
It's so leggy that bending it to the rest of them sounds like a great idea!
Shed, do you have experience making bubble hash?
It's just trim so I figure I'm only doing two runs and already did the one.
When I'm making hash with buds, how many do you figure I should do?

OMG I hate making bubble hash! I did it once (there's a post on it in my thread here) and I will never do it again. If I want to make hash it will be dry ice every time.
To answer your question I did two runs.
