Wow, you could pack a lot of those into a grow tent. Would require strong air circulation, of course, and feeding/watering would be a chore.

That's what I was thinking. Pack them in tight by setting the bottles in a 4ft diameter kiddie pool. That'll take care of one watering problem, spillage
and maybe offer enough stability to work.- Thread starter

I haven't killed them yet, but I noticed some leaf irregularities. Meh, not worried. I'm just thrilled to still have four plants to tend.

Told y'all I had some leaf irregularities. This is plant #1, a Mephisto Sour Crack, on Day 11. Hope it's like growing an ugly tomato.

Thought I would stop by and show off a lil bit.
That is my fortune, my misfortune comes in the form of...
That is my DDA at 12 weeks. The whole main had to go... only took 3 days of ventilation trouble.

It sucks that you got mold. Use it for a learning moment though. Daily checks and immediate response to problems.

Day 15. Finally starting to see some rapid growth.

Bearings went out on my extraction fan. Took 3 days for a replacement to arrive... on the bright side I did learn to not wait til the last minute to do maintenance, and the majority of my seeds were mature. Overall a success. Probably lost 5 grams dry weight and maybe 50 seeds, I will never know because that stuff went straight to the dumpster.
The next DDA (Sensimilla) is just finishing stretch and my stunted SSDC is 5-6 weeks from finish. That girl is stinky
Man.... I got a DDA out in the swampy rains at this exact moment.... gotta get her down.
I find that fans usually give strange sounds as the bearing die. If you can see the blades of the fan, you'll them slow down too.
1,2,3,4,5,6.... yes... I have 6 fans working at this exact moment and I've been doin that for many a moon now... Tead knows him sum fans.

After reviewing her trichs, I took her down. A DDA report from deep in the swamplands.
She grew pretty slowly in the heat and mostly stopped growing for a couple of weeks while the heat was on. I think that time might have coincided with some early bud building time and I kind of just lost out on that core bud development.
Then, as she got older, she started shooting out the foxtail growth. I let her run out a good bit to build out those foxtails figuring that if I couldn't get the thick core buds, I'd enjoy me some foxtails.
Heat's down... I should drop more.

Seems to me my laziness got to me. I was sure that fan had a little more life in it, oh boy was I wrong. The night I ordered my new extraction fan the squeal in my old fan was Audible outside of my apartment. I imagine the downstairs neighbors were loving me. This new one sounds like a white noise machine, I should probably buy an extra one
Hmmmmm.... Old Webster might have that as one of it's definitions for the word 'Wisdom'.

It took me a while, but I have back ups for every piece of equipment. There is great piece of mind in knowing one is prepared for the unexpected.
Plus, shit just wears out. Everything does. You'll need to replace everything at some point... there's just not point not to have spares on hand. One or two days of a burned out bulb is a real issue.
Damn.... gotta order sum bulbs.

I am perpetually in need of more lights. Not that mine don't do the trick. But I had a similar occurrence (to the fan situation) where my lights started dropping one by one. I had to hastily make a large purchase and replace my entire setup. Budget is always a problem in my world...

I solved the light bulb problem. COB led's. I should see 50K hours out of them. 
Carbon filters are my bane. I get one effective season out of them. The second season I'm not answering the door for anyone, and I won't try to use one longer.

Really? I've been using the same one for the past three years. It's possible I just don't smell them, but I don't think that's the case. Of course, I always had some blooming out in the open, making it hard to determine who all was contributing to the smells. Lol!
Hmmmm.... an unexpected expense that I probably should have expected. I'll be saved initially in that I won't have any in flower when I start up, but you have me considering the purchase of a replacement Lucas.
Don't worry... there's about to be a lot of carbon filters in your world.
I'd been wondering how long they might last. I got extra big ones thinking they might last longer.

Soil's much slower than hydro. I imagine this is driving you a little nuts Lucas.
Good to know. Mine's a Can33, purchased to filter my 4x4. Geez.....wish I had someone to leave that tent with. That sucker is heavy!
