Forgot to mention, the smaller plant on the left is very sturdy and can hold itself well. Needless to say it's a bit behind and even growing very retarded and unporportional, but still happy I suppose! Haha leaves are green and sparkly as ever
Walmart has a fan like thisimage.jpeg

Great my landlord is on his way to fix the breaker so I can actually use an HID system without it flipping the breaker...problem is he doesn't know I'm growing so I took half the lights out and closed it up. THAT IS WHY STEALTH IS IMPORTANT!! U ask why? Bc it illegal here and I would rather have enough to smoke than have too much and get caught with it lol

Hey, I got some pics for you this afternoon.. Sad news first. I had propped my phone up where my light is to use the flashlight app and my fucking phone fell right on top of the small plant on the left.. I was so heated. I used my straw trick on it and propped it back up I am hoping it can recover. We will see within 24 hrs I'm sure. The right one didn't get touched much. I went to Home Depot and got some clay pebbles, reflective tape, and a small fan. I have my tall lengthy plant getting some serious air now that I have the fan on it, with the box propped open. I think I'll just leave the fan running onto the plant for as long as I have to until I see some strength improvements. My hydro guard is coming in the mail today as well to help with my root rot. I flipped over two net pots, put a tooth pick through the two, and used it as a mid way bar for some support because the fan is a bit overkill at this point. Hoping to see some stem strength soon :(

Ok let me show u something....but know that these plants especially. In vegetation are very very resilient and they will grow back together make sure that the fan isn't too much but just a slight breeze and to keep it cool if you prop it open be sure to not let any of the light escape so try to take some kind of Mylar or some kind of flat white substance to to keep between the opening so you can get a little air in through the bottom and that way it'll go up to the top and hopefully if you got up of PC fan airport at hot air out let me show u...

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg I have the top propped as well to help let hotter air out. See how the box fan is only blowing at the bottom? It pulls it up and then it gets pulled out by on fan up top.

It grew back together so of a casting can reconnect a branch then I know it can keep ur baby in place.

Oh and please tell me u washed the clay pebbles with soap Bc they will cause Algae. Rock wool is good and clay peelers are good I took all mine out uesterday Bc they were being gross. Also make sure your roots can grow freely thru the pebbles Bc sometimes they pinch....I was suggest using the net pots....but hey try it u have no rapid rooters? They are best and u won't need the clay pellets...just go with what u are doing and keep me updated I enjoy seeing new ideas!

And the fan isn't going to be overkill I promise but don't cover leave open all the air is needed...mainly in flower. Just use it lightly and use 2 ml of hudrogaurd per gallon. I think if u squeeze the stem and bend wile squeezing u wil supercrop making the stem very strong. It won't break if u go easy

Also get a nice big airstone it really makes a difference!! More air better bud!!
Stronger plants and stems but it looks great but it def time for light lst on the tall one before it gets too lanky. Keep temps close like 80 to 85 lights on and 77 lights off will make tighter internodes and that means fatter colas. Less room to make little budlets we want colas u might want to veg with some small CFL lights on a power strip and led when u switch to 12 12 idk just a thought in a noob

I actually did buy a pretty big airstone, I think it's a medium size from a hydroponics store near by. And yes I'm using rapid rooters surrounded by clay pebbles, but the pebbles aren't interrupting the root growth because I only set them towards the top of the rapid rooter more so it can't wobble around the net pot, it jams everything nice and tight. Anyways, I have my box propped open like I said and I guess SOME of the light escapes, but not much.. The plants are taking tons of direct lighting from the led I think. I'm only going to have the box open and running the fan for about 4-5 hours a day, then closed and full light spectrum the rest of the 12 hours or so. I'll bend the plant a few times with my fingers when I can to get some extra strength training

I'll post an update here tomorrow night and let you know how the one on the left is doing after the accident. Leaves are looking a bit folded and creased right now :/ but time will tell


P.S I added 2ml of hydro guard to the Rez just now!!!

And yes I washed the pebbles with hot water and soap before I put them in! :)
