I started off with a 3x3, but then upgraded to the same size you got now. It barely fits into my walk-in closet, but I made it work lol. 5 gallons have worked for me so far, but the bigger the better they say haha.
Just noticed your post says organics. What are those nutes? I just started my first organic run, leaving behind the foxfarm nutes, only moving forward with their soil and now adding worm castings and dr. earth dry amendments. Started the seeds about 12 days ago in solo cups, transplanted them to 1 gallons the other day and they look happy!
To answer both those quotes, ikr the tent almost reaches my ceiling. I had 5 gallons then went to 10 then just put them into 20s on the 31st. These roots are fast growing and just reached the bottom of the 10gal before being switched to the 20. I should be good in the 20 to finish out 8-10 weeks, yeah?
I'm running foxfarms soil next round with HF and Ocean blend and adding all the good additives carefully.

Yup, 8 to 10 weeks. 60 days is usually 8 and a half weeks for me. Then I put them into darkness for 48 hours, but I can't wait much longer than that lol

Foxfarm soil is great, just the nutes are not 100% organic and my plants didnt respond well to them during the first weeks of flower (the leaves to be more specific bc the buds are looking great today on day 50), so I did a bunch of reading and ultimately decided to try the Dr. Earth lineup (as well as RO water and no ph down). I found a post with a feeding schedule from the owner and all, so I'm gonna try that this next run.

I was curious about the 48 hour rule but I'm iffy about that due to overstressing and the long period of light lack but I get it helps the hormone balance change for the plant to trigger flowering faster.
Just woke the ladies up a bit ago, will do some measurements today and record.

Nice. Time for flower and maybe a bit of defoliating, but people's opinions are mixed about that too. Same as with the darkness. Been growing since summer last year and I've always done it so far. I'm honestly not sure if it makes a big difference.

I am absolutely in need of a major defoliating, I'll do it sometime today when I feel like it. These girls are about to start budding anytime now! I've been wondering what my GPW is going to end up being after all said and done this run. The tent could use a cleaning to make it more reflective but these 20gals make that too difficult for me to screw around with.

I clean mine after every cycle really good with rubbing alcohol. I take the light down and whipe that too. Wash the cloth of my carbon filter... the tent is usually empty for a day or two, then the young ones get moved to their new habitat.

Excellent way to keep PM away and any bad bacterias, we surely don't want that now..

Pics captured on the 20th, 14th day of flowering. Everything is going great! Surely makes me want to clap my moist meat flappers everytime I just look at it! Just fed one last night and watered the smaller ones.

Got a new pH pen and a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier keeps it down to about 45-50% which is perfect. As of today the budding process is starting to accelerate. Transplanting the clones that have outgrown the solo cups into pots and those solo cups will be replaced with new clone cuttings.

Today marks day 38 of flowering. Tied the stalks together on the main one. Did a final defoliation a few days ago which I don't necessarily recommend doing this late into flowering unless absolutely necessary and done methodically.
