What size pots are you using? It could be the angle but they look small compared to plant size. That could be what is holding them back.
Will you be able to fill it...right to the top? Are you's planning on putting all those in , or just four/six?.. It's gonna rock bud. You and C will have lots of fun training them around in there...what a top shelf job Nis...
They are already filled up and I'll get an update done after dinner. Chicken and brats on the grill.Evenin Nis, Canna and friends. Lookin very good Nis, ready to fill it ! Looks like you 'squared off' the inside...
I have an idea for when you have to empty it..fast , effective and cool OK.
Have a great night Nis,..Canna and friends.
Glad about the trough getting a lil deeper . Four plants per....great! Now , all ya's gotta do is to train the shit out of em to really get em big and bushy...to take advantage of all the nice soil. Your gonna have fun with this set up...cheers to ya's. and have an awesome day !
Update
Today was a busy busy day in the veg room. First we cleared out the veg room and swept and mopped the floor and the walls. It's amazing when you spray foliars...it just goes everywhere. Then the big job for the day was to get the 4 blue dream clones and 4 tutankhamon clones put into their troughs. We had them both built but had to add the wire mesh, not chicken wire, on the original one we had built. So we cut the fabric off and made the addition. When we built the 2nd one we picked up more fabric, this time 4' wide this time instead of 3' to make it so more soil could fit in there. Just under 3 kits worth of soil was used today so its roughly 75 or 80 gallons in each trough...and yes I'm going to add a bit more to the top since after watering it sunk in 1" or so.
Training will start tomorrow after they have gotten used to their new homes. The SCrOG will sit 18" above the top of the soil. Each trough will have an independent screen 8' x 2' giving us 32 square feet total of canopy. Once we are 70% full we will be sliding them into the flower room to start putting on some weight. After the transplant they got plain water and the leaf wash. If we still have mites...not anymore as the entire fleet, minus the flower room, got washed as well. Now onto the pictures! Covered the process well I think. Tuts up front and blue dream in the back.
Then we have the next round of mothers growing some clones for us. Hash plant - left and Birds of Paradise (the one that grew under the T5 the entire time).
That's all I have tonight and it's time to rest. Taking the strawberry cheese cake for a test drive tonight.

You know just how to make our day! Thanks for the kind words Doc!
We are hoping this works out for us like we plan. Hoping for 3 or 4 lbs total. That would be 1.3 - 1.9 gpw. That's a tall order but I think it is possible for sure.
Thanks duggs. The dimensions holding the soil are 14"W x 93"L x 15" deep. Plenty of support and a ton of soil. The biggest chore will be watering since each trough would be able to take close to 10 gallons if they get totally dry. Yikes!Good morning Canna and Nis....wow,...all set up and lookin proper guys! Great job . All looks ready to go
Moving them around on wheels is a major plus. Oh I can't wait for them to go into flower.
Thanks doc! I think 4 plants in 80 gallons will do just fine don't ya think? In a few days when they grab a hold of the soil and get their first drench they will explode with growth. Was thinking about setting up the time lapse on them to watch the growth.
The pvc is for the scrog screen. We have not run the string yet since it would just be in the way right now. But we had it on there for picture purposes so we could show what it would look like.
Well this is quite simple since we are using docs kit. We feed the soil and the soil feeds the plants. Everything gets mixed up per gallon of soil rather than per gallon of water. As for the runoff, yes we do get runoff. We put some corrugated plastic under the trough to catch the runoff and sloped it so that it only will drain out one end of the trough.
Well I am not quite sure this is possible but even if they were to do this, they are clones from the same mother so they look the same regardless. Wanted to use clones from the same plant so all of them would have the same structure and we would know how they would grow. The mothers were just harvested last week so we have a good idea on what to expect. The blue dream I think we hit with the cat drench too late so it'll be something to watch out for.
15" is the depth of the trough and we used the best of the best landscaping fabric we could buy. It is strong enough to hold the weight but it allows water to drain and air to go into the roots. We put 1/2" galvanized wire mesh underneath of that to hold the rest of the weight so we don't have any blow outs.
Yeah. But for some reason I never put it together with weed. I never planted different strains in the same container.
Actually still not sure this is possible. I been googling for a few minutes. Still checking around.....
