I’m not very good at working with this site about pictures and stuff but here was what my looked like when I did my last year the cages are 4 foot tall I put another net about 2 foot above that and they usually make it to the top! This picture is week almost week 4 of flower
Those are sweet looking plants !!! Sativas can get tall.

I'm only growing 4 plants which makes it easier to do things like move plants outside then back in. I turn the valve off on the lines before taking the plants out so flooding isn't a problem. The sun is still the best light I've found. As the plants get older and bigger I'll have a couple that won't move I'm sure.

Yes nothing better than the sun for sure but be very careful when you do that to watch for bugs. I did the same thing one time and it brought spider mites into my indoor space it was a nightmare getting them out!

Last year I had some outdoors and after 30 years I found out what Bud worms are! Moths get on your plants at night and lay eggs and bunches of Bud worms that looked like inch worms almost destroyed my whole crop! So I decided to stay indoors mostly!

I got some PM last year when I tried growing outside in a pop up greenhouse. I like indoors for a lot of reasons as well. There are always bugs outside but not like those moths. Those things were nasty last year. I hope this year's working out better for you.

When I take the pots out they dry out quite a lot during the day and then boom, back into an overnight soak. What I'm doing started when we had a power outage and the plants needed light. As the grow progresses I'll need to slow down the moving them around which has been easy when the plants are smaller with no buds.

No way man this system with the air dome doubled my yield by second grow! Without the Air dome the system is not really that impressive! The air getting to the root where they are sitting in water makes it eat up nutrients and sends into hyper drive!
Come on get real, an air dome didn't double your yeild, you done something different and you're putting it down to air dome which it 100% wasn't.

Moving the pots out of the rez's during the day has improved growth for my plants. I expect the air domes move more air to roots as well. If you want to pick on the "double" instead of a multi place decimal precision go for it.

From experience more air improves standard autopot use whether it's done by air domes or manually moving the plants.

No I’m not it doubled my yield same nute schedule same nutes same strains! Only difference was the air domes and I got a pretty good size pump that put plenty of air to all of them. I been growing the same everything for the last few crops I’ve had it dialed in for awhile. I veg the same amount of time and flower exactly the same amount of time!

[/QUOT Those don’t look bad man. Did you see the pictures of what those looked like that I showed you in the pictures before when they were done?

I'm not saying you're lying but you are mistaken an air dome won't double your yeild all else being equal.
[/QUOT well I’m telling you that’s exactly what it did I been growing for over 30 years i have a little experience with it and not in some little tent inside a closet you know when mine get done they are usually 6 1/2 foot tall and most plants will average 14-18oz

Go to the welding supply shop and get a big bottle of pure oxygen, hook up a regulator, and it should work on weed like nitrous on my nova?

Totally 2 different things when you have high oxygen it allows the plant to use the nutes in it at a much higher rate 2 totally different things

possum 1 - Your plants look great whether it's air domes or not you got things right. I've been following this thread so I've seen all the pictures you've put up in it. Always impressive.

I hope this years grow is going as well.

That’s what you do at all that won’t do shit for your plants maybe a car but not plants! Here’s what you do go on Amazon and buy a air dome then go and buy you an auto pot xl 6.6 gallon container system you put the air dome on the bottom of the root disc at the bottom of the container then put about 3 inches of clay pellets on top of that then get you some fox farm dirt and let them grow for about 3 weeks in the pots turn on the auto pot and the air dome and let the plants get about 4 ft tall and start flowering for about 10 weeks and you have it! How in the hell is putting nitro on your car going to make your plants grow?
