Built another 12 strip light for the 4x4.
Absolutely love what I’m seeing from these lights for the money.
Did some more up potting and will do the rest in a week when I’ll post pics again.
Going to try my best to get on a nice 2 week cycle to keep trim jail manageable over time.
Be popping some 3chem f2 and taking clones from my years old moms soonB4FB364E-DA17-4165-8C61-AC433C2F885F.jpegB81D630B-4872-4882-B25A-DA0AF2788FB1.jpegEABED79E-98FF-4D40-9DD8-5CABB11BC3B3.jpeg85B39338-13B8-40E4-8AB2-D38112EEB8EC.jpeg7BA89BC0-CD47-4E07-9C73-89D256058118.jpeg626FAFB2-BB66-4C40-8562-53F0B135245D.jpeg48C5C365-4B0A-485B-93BB-0BDCEBEC3364.jpeg

MAHALO !! Plants look awesome, I know what ya mean in your first post when you said no longer hiding and upped to the tent, I assume ya got your med card and have no worries bout it !

I will go down the rabbit hole of this ic thread you posted. thank you for taking the time to reply I greatly appreciate it!

also that dank Sinatra looks fire !!


Thank you
Vigorous plants have a way of making anyone seem like they know what they are doing.

I’m not 100% but I believe the Andy irons was an old bodhi cross tester.These were given to me by a friend and are actually f2 that I’m hoping I can get some f3 out of.
3 males were separated and put into a tote for a few days and I collected pollen from them and hit lowers on nearly everything in the tent.
Hopefully it took and I’ll have enough seed to send some back to the island.
Should know in about a month and a half

Here’s a link to the pipeline hp used https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?s=2b67668e2b9d3963a2ca600b4cc41520&p=6395525&postcount=5
The guy that sent these out is actually in Maui

Thanks for stopping back in
I’m happy to help and always up to talk mj.

And yes I’m a licensed med patient and have no worries that way. Never really did tho if I’m being honest.

A friend passed along that link on the pipeline hp so I shared hope it clears up details and is entertaining reading.

iPhone did another update with pic tools wanted to see what it looks like.
Day48 more cowbell x lucky charms 7C3891AE-9EA1-4436-BE87-4E80D1148492.png
Sprayed down the 4x4 and 3x3 last night.
had to do another heavy feed today hopefully they take off soon and I’ll post progress pics.
Big tent is in lean mode I had to add a bunch of bamboo stakes and tie plants up.
I’ll post more pics later

Everything looks on point,nice lights you've built there !! How the heck do you get away from barely any support for the girls.I use too run a double skrog net and still have tops layin on their sides.
Thanks but
It’s an optical illusion
I have a fan blowing on them heavy from seedling stage and hope that I get mostly rigid hollow stemmed plants. Typically around 3 ft and week7ish I think support is inevitable
I use bamboo stakes 4’ and lots of pipe cleaners and fishing line to tie things upright.
these plants all have a gangster lean to them except for the dank Sinatra those are to dense to bend.

They look great, and super sugary!! You'll be smokin' good! AN does grow some nice plants, I was just never satisfied with the flavor using it and switched to organic. In all fairness, I didn't have my strains dialed in yet when I was using it. Nice plants though...How much longer do you think? Lights look great too...I'm impressed with you guys that build your own!

Thanks a lot but you are to generous
As a fellow grower told me once sometimes you get lucky and good plants grow themselves. This is prolly one of those cases where I simply stayed out of their way.
I’m hoping they start finishing within the next 2-3weeks but I’m in no rush I want to see just how fat they can get.
Now as for the lights they really aren’t very difficult to assemble and with the parts list and links to order right on ledgardener.com I think nearly anyone can put one together. I’ve been super impressed with what these have grown.
How course I am biased and, have as my friend said thrown A ton of money at improving my garden but these lights are worth every cent imo.
Thanks again for stopping by

That's a lovely looking bunch of plants you've got there. I like the sleekness of those lights as well. They appear to be extremely light weight.

Out of curiosity, how do you get in there to feed? I've never seen an 8x4' tent up close... are there doors situated so you can easily get into each 4x4' half?

Thanks a lot sir
This is my first run in this sized tent and it’s new to me too. I didn’t have enough plants ready to fill it’ to max capacity so I left myself a skinny aisle I can walk in and access everything without moving to much. Because I have another tent literally right beside this one I only have access through the one door but the unit itself actually has 2 zipper doors on one side and one on the other.
It’s probably going to take me a while to get used to it and really get a consistent cycle going but I’m happy with the results so far.
And the lights being in two individual sections prolly weigh about 10lbs each max and never get to hot to touch

Decided that I enjoy the smell and structure of the ricola Andy irons that I want to reveg it so I chopped the main colas last night at day 57.
Still left 3/4 of the plant material so hopefully she bounces back to veg mode quick and I’ll pluck the popcorn as it’s done. If the smoke is as good as it smells I’ll def re run a bunch of cuts from her
