first pic is of veg room today.
second pic of bloom closet next three pics are of the three big plants in bloom closet
pic 3-5 hindu skunk, ogkgc, and querkle
pic six, the bloom room today, nugs are getting out of hand
i did a one-month-in flush on the ladies in the bloom room. a lot of work. im gonna build a tray that has a drain in it that sits right next to the rooms. lugging those ladies through rooms blows balls, im over it. im gonna try to do a DIY tray, or i might buy one, we'll see.

This one is my favorite
Now I'm sitting here wondering how we could improve. I'm still considering a Scrog, but honestly the trellis and topping worked wonders. Any improvement plans aside from the draining tray on your end?

yeah, i always am put in a good mood after going in my original bloom room. i upgrated her with a 6" inline fan, and phresh carbon filter. the girls in there are twice as dense and happy as last time!
as far as upgrades i wanted a rez, and also possibly c02 in the original bloom room, my baby! well see, if i yield fat this time, i might not change anything, we'll see, i have a good feeling though!

I've definitely seen a huge boost after adding the 650 CFM fan, shows you the value of good air movement. If you don't exchange the air quick enough it quickly gets co2 depleted in your room. So in a sense, good inline fans are a form of supplemental co2 
the humidity/temperate reduction is amazing too. Hope my central air keeps the apt cool enough for the fan to do it's job. Getting crazy warm here tomorrow, suppose to be 78 we shall see. How long's cali been nice and warm?

Looking great bro. So what, you've got a MH bulb in the room and an HPS in the closet? That should make for a good experiment by itself. Wonder what differences it'll make in the buds.
Well, for your drain tables I would just start with a sturdy table to sit your tray(s) on. You could buy a pro-style tray like this like I used to, but they're crazy expensive. Add the cost of the table and you're over $200.00. But it's easy and effective.
Or you can get a sturdy table like I said, and then slap one of these fuckers on the top of it, and pop in a drain valve and hot glue or silicone caulk around it. BAM cheap and done. I have one, you can get these at Wal-Mart for like $16.00 a piece. Less the lid of course for your application.

Just build your table out of 2x4s, it will cost you maybe 15 dollars of lumber. Personally I choose to bite the bullet and pay the 70 for the white botanicare 2x4 tray. It makes a lot more sense then buying the tray and the table they sell for like ~300. The main reason I bought the tray is I know it will last. They use special plasticizers that are photo resistive, roll away tubes for under the bed...not so much...And the other reason is they are STURDY. I know your not doing F&d, but in my situation the tray has to hold 80+ lbs of water and 20lbs of pots/plants. 2c
EDIT: yeah 300 is more for a complete setup. 4x4 bench msrp is 190, but they have a cheaper one for 90. I think 2x4's still a better deal and more customizable.

Damn bro, things must cost a hell of a lot more up there. I got that same tray at my local shop for $50.00 MSRP (before my usual 15% frequent-flier discount hehehe), and the whole shabang in that pic I posted only cost $159.00 (which my local shop would match and then give me 15% off as well)...?
Honestly, those trays are nice but they're way over priced I think. If I had the room to run hydro I'd probably just throw an $8 baby pool on a wooden pallet and be done. lol

the pic DC posted is interesting ive never seen a stand like that for the tray but looks legit especially for lower bak issues. but if ure lookin at doin hydro equip let me know i can get u my discount at GC and they sell drain trays that are black and made of recycled plastic and half the price of a new white one. buuut the downside is it black and can get hot and leave dried up water marks. thats about the most neg point i was told. wat size tray u thinkin of? is the rez for a hydro feed or just to have water on hand in the room?
if u just need water (not sure if u already have this type of setup) but u can always do a double lined 25gal-55gal rubbermaid trash can (not with wheels it can tip) and use that for ur rez. only use anew can tho. IMO.
anyways hope this helps ur ideas

thats awesome brother, because we both have upgrated our exhaust this round, and have both witnessed her positive results! just feeling the branches, an how solid and strong they are, its a great feeling! cali is weird, one day it upper 80's, the last two days the weather man threatened heavy rain storm, it was just cold as hell. 30-40* at night. 40-60* during the day. it'll probably be hot tomorrow. we'll see.I've definitely seen a huge boost after adding the 650 CFM fan, shows you the value of good air movement.

i got a 400w hortilux eye hps in the new bloom closet. thats the new bloom room, (formerly the veg closet). and i got the original 600w regular hps in the original 4x4x6 bloom room. so two rooms, two hps bulbs. one 600, and one 400hortilux hps.Looking great bro.

im excited about the new 400w hps bloom room because i added the 2' 4-bulb t5 ho fixture as side lighting. i currently have the 3- one week vegged plants in front of it, ill post pics tonight!
thanks for the pics, advice, and options on the rezy/flood table. it really helps man! i think im gonna go with the 2"x4" wooden frame, that i can build, (i just got done building the new veg room, it turned out great because i used wood skrews and liquid nails.) and stick one of those walmard rubbermaid totes as the flood table. this can help a lot because i could use the rubbermaid as a nute rezy, and a flood table for flushing! thanks mi amigo!
thanks sg! im definitely gonna go with the 2x4's for a strong, custom, sturdy, diy table. i think im also gonna go with the rubbermaid tote for the rezy, but i can see why you sprang for the 2'x4' botanicare tray, its totally worth it.
thats awesome your shop will match prices, sound like some good deals.
no disrespect to hydro, but that $8 baby pool and pallet quote was hilariuos. i wanna try that now!

thanks for the advice and pics GG. it never gets old looking at your plants man!
the table is for rez nute feeding, by hand. and also for a flood table for flush. im probably gonna use two big rubbermaid totes that dc posted pics of, or i might just need one tote. or i might use the rubbermaid trash can for watering and a clear rubbermaid flate tote for flushing, we'll see. thanks for the advice brother, i just got done drying the WWNL, and did a post drying taste test on her, and i must say, im floating. fat dank rip, and head feeling. but no harshness, or strong head high. just a peaceful, easy feeling. you have to try some.

yeah, the one in plastic container is the fine trim, i ran out of glass jars, i guess that isnt a bad problem, if you ran out of jars, that means you used them all, hell yeah!Ewwwww, herb in plastic containers?! lol

yeah, 3 zips off one plant makes me way happy, especially because the plants this round look way heavier, and even happier. i didnt think it was possible last round, but it really looks better compared to last round!
thanks for the compliments brother, it means a lot!
i am enjoying it, this bud just keeps getting better and better! thanks brother.
peace pipe for sure. nothing like busting the pipe out at a party and making a lot of new friends!

3 factors my man:
1) Plant's growth structure.
2) Pot size.
3) Side lighting.
The 'spindly one' has many side branches and is splitting its bud production up across the entire plant. The fat one has one main cola with basically no side branches, so all growth is focused on that area.
I'd put the one in the big pot with the one cola in the dark corner in the back and throw the other 2 in small pots in front of the side lighting.
