Good deal there. Never seen a splitter like that, neat. Like to see what it's growing like for your plants.

Got the light swap room rearrange done and running. 
that's the new veg light, and then this one got moved to the added flower space, just finishing setting it up bit operational.
I just gave a foliar so they look a bit wet, should've took a pic first.

looking pretty good looking pretty good here are a couple pictures of my vegetative operation I don't think I'll ever by professional grow lights these household bulbs seem to work perfectly and in my flower my buds feel dense they don't feel all Airy

Nice. Looking healthy. Are those peppers in there too? Don't know enough about a lot of other plants to tell. They all look happy. So are those strip lights running out from center?

Those are the home Depot LED strip light fluorescent tube looking setups that they have for like 10 or $13 with a refractor taking off and put back together

Right on. I just got a few Cree led can lights from a remodel job I'm in the middle of. I'm gonna see what I can make out of them, maybe I'll use them to make a tiny solo cup challenge grow box. I see a lot of those comps and it looks to be quite a fun time of things. Lol.

How far along are they? I don't have any of mine in flower yet. Just recently built a second room for flowering and haven't flipped yet, have to do a bit more light proofing between the rooms so I don't have any leaks. 2 girls ready for it though.
probably have them ready to flip by Monday if I can get motivated to do something. Was a busy week, I'm feeling lazy.
they're super bushy girls. I've got 3 clones of each of them going as well. Here's the first clone in the new soil batch, it's the soil tester before I commit more to the new mix. 
so far so good, should be a mostly water only mix. It's a custom mix I made, needed to double my soil for the additional grow op. So as of now I've about 110 gallons of organic soil ready to go for the upcoming crops. Will be doing some various experiments in 10 gal fabric pots, and two types of sip pots. See what I like best and go from there. It's all fun and games

Damn 10 gallon pots huh those are produced some big plants and I happened to figure something out recently but hey I have not tried it yet then fabric grocery bags at Walmart and other such places that you buy and reuse your own grocery bag kind of deal are definitely I think bigger than 5 gallon and those would do some air pruning I believe

10 gal is really the smallest im going. Have ROLS that needs that size or bigger, organic soil needs a larger volume pot size. Planning to be a water only grow. Some teas etc if it seems to be needing such. One of the sips will be an 18 gal tote with about 4 gallons of that for the water res. So a 14 gal approx. The other sip will be a 10 gal fabric in a 12 gal tote mated together with a hole in the bottom of the fab pot and a 6" mesh pot wick. Should give me some fine ladies. Soil tester clone looks to surpass my other plants quickly, looking like she's loving this new batch. Yay.
you are correct about the fabric shopping bags working. I've seen a few folks on here doing that exactly.

Most of my plants are in 5 gals right now though, transition to the bigger 10 gal pots with the clones. Didn't have enough soil ready prior to last planting.
Well flowers are finally cured. Official harvest weight was 1,075 grams, but I gifted 60 grams to 2 close friends before I did the weigh-in. Nearly 1.3 grams per watt of light, which is a bit better than my grow before at about 1.2 grams per.
I took this pic of a small lower bud with my cell phone just before putting it in my bong, but I'll get out my real camera and post some macro shots of some nice buds tomorrow. The great buds just looked too good to smoke right now! Lol

Nicely done, that's a dang fine harvest. I hope to get a nice tub of dank like that myself here before to long. Thanks for the weigh in, that's awesome. I've just today got my new flower room fully operational. Yay. The Northwood light, that's what I'm calling it, is doing an amazing job for the veg room. It does run with a fair amount more heat than my other light did, but that's actually a good thing for my plants right now. Thanks for starting this thread and having my thesis already being proven before I got started. Lol. So you got some new girls already under the lights?Well flowers are finally cured.

Sadly no new girls yet. I'm changing things for the next time around. I now have a big-ass 46"x18" cloth pot in there now. I put the 4 totes of soil and roots in it without disturbing it much, and made up the balance with a new mix I did. Right now I'm planting an "edible" cover - green bush beans. They should add additional nitrogen to the soil while it "cooks" and the thousands of worms in there eat the roots and stalks of the plants I just harvested. After the beans are eaten by us and the plants die back a bit, I'll be planting annual rye grass just to soak up any excess free nitrogen so it doesn't end up going out my exhaust vent. Rye grass is great for nitrogen utilization because the plants can be only 6 inches tall yet have roots extend down nearly 2 feet! Then for half of this summer while it dies back I'll be exploring some of the most scenic and challenging mountain bike trails in Western Canada, along with canoeing and backcountry camping. So I'll only get around to popping more seeds in there sometime this August when I'm back.

Sounds like a great summer plan, wish I had such plans. I'd forego a planting if I could go off on an adventure such as yourself. Lucky you bro. Lol. Would love to hear about the new grow when you've progressed into it. Be an interesting comparison with that big no till you've got started, anything else change in the plan or just the planting bed? Have fun travels and happy growing.
