I will continue this now that I've figured out what I'm going to do. A buddy of going to pick up 3 or 4 of the out of control clones and put them in a field by his house and see if they do anything outdoors. I took one and put it in the 3x3 tent and manhandled the net down onto her and just bent everything down as far as I could. Unfortunately because I had to cut these trees in half a while back, I could only get her bent over so far. She went into the tent on 6/20 and once she was settled in, I flipped her to 12/12 yesterday on 6/22. She is adjusting quite well. I gave her a thorough feeding tonight to some excess runoff. I will be setting her up on a blumat carrot in the am with a 4 gallon reservoir. I will also be cleaning up the ol' undercarriage and stripping her clean under the net.

These ladies are just too much. I took some advice and took clones from them and will be tossing or giving these to a buddy. Buuuttttt wait, there's more!!!!! Since they are headed to a nice big farm or to the firepit, I figured I'd manhandle the shit out of one and shoehorn it into the 3x3 and force the net down on top of it. Because I cut it in half before and they have gotten pretty beefy, I could only get the net down so far. I'm just gonna give her a couple days to adjust and then I'll flip her to 12/12 and clean up the ol' undercarriage. She will continue on the maxi grow for the next 2 weeks or so and then I'll switch her over to the maxibloom.

Sidenote: Hey @Spiderfarmerled did the name of the G300W switch to the G3000 300W? Just curious because I won the G300W on here and now all I see is the G3000 300W and they appear to be the same.
Haha, I knew I had started documenting this move already somewhere. I looked everywhere and couldn't find this post. Gummy must have kicked in early this evening. Anywho, she is off to the races.

Hello, it's the same product. But we have unified naming forms, so now called G3000 300W LED

Eviction day in the 4x4 was last night. These ladies will be moving into a field somewhere. Gonna clean the tent and equipment. Move the fan and filter down low so the light has the ability to go up higher and get it ready for the little sisters of these ladies and a couple Cinderella Purple plants from Brothers Grimm

The out of control clones have left for their new home.

The 4x4 tent has been cleaned and re-organized. It will get its own thread to follow along.

The 3x3 is chugging along, the plant is looking good and happy, the little blumat seems to be working well, and this am I noticed it starting to preflower.

If I could make one suggestion while using blumats....
Make sure you have something lining the bottom that is able to hold the volume of your entire res. I used pond liner. You can also use a flood tray that's plumbed into a drain
In the case of a runaway you won't have to rip down your entire tent and dry it underneath. Also any electronic equipt should be out of the water table area. Plant looks good tho you should get a nice harvest outta her!

The tents do have the bottom liner in them. That said, I hope to be able to swing some actual trays in the next grow or 2. Good point on the electronics. I have always made a big point to keep plugs and power strips up and then I just set the inline and little oscillating fan right on the floor. Oops. I'll get em up off the floor.

The tent liner isn't really waterproof that's why I went with pond liner

Bam!!!! Tractor Supply for the win!!! Rabbit trays are ~$20. I got a 24"×24"×2.5" for the 3x3 tent. If my calculations are correct, it should hold just over 6 gallons in case of a runaway. I run a 4 gallon res. They don't have fancy drain channels, but they are heavy duty and inexpensive. I also picked up a 36"x30"x2.5" tray for my 4x4 tent.

Here's a pic of the 24×24

Day 18 from flip

She is looking good and happy!!!

Reservoir looks and smells good. One thing I noticed by adding the bleach is that it took the pink hue away from the water that the maxibloom adds. So far, it seems to be working really well. If I can get my pH pen to calibrate this afternoon, I'll know if it's staying stable.

Day 21 pm

I got a new pH pen in today. Checked the tank and it was at 4.9. If my old meter was that far off, I'm shocked at how well the plant is doing. Hopefully she does even better now that I can comfortably get the pH in range. So, I dumped the reservoir and mixed up a fresh batch of nutes. Mixed them the same as last time but I had to add 4mL of pH up.

4mL ArmorSi
8mL CalMag
18g MaxiBloom
17 drops of bleach
4mL pH up

727ppm
5.69pH

New pH pen pic for fun
