Got a good IR shot off my phone when the 730nm lights were on this morning. You can see the BML bar on the right wall. Really highlights the buds. The Blue Ripper and Plemon on the left are stacking up nice for day 33, the Blue Ripper leaners day 67 at the back aren't looking bad either :D

Quick camshot update on each of the runs.

Top-Left, Main Veg Cabinet:
Camera angled downward toward the 3x 3Gal pots. Up-potted one of each of the better looking DIY seeds. They've been FIM'd, super-cropped and tied into shape. Bottom-right is the JTR, you see about 2/3 of the plant in the camshot. I super-cropped 3 branches today so it's looking rough, a week and it'll have bounced back and should shoot up a few more colas. I may go straight to a 7Gal as it's getting quite large, will give it another 1-2 weeks in the 3Gal. Still have the 2x Harlequin clones on the platform behind these, doing well. And 2x DIY seedlings that will likely be culled if I get at least 1 fem from the other 2x DIY seeds.

Top-Right, Clone Cabinet:
6 of the first batch of clones, all taking well, should be good to up-pot into 1gal fabric in 7-10 days. 4x THC Bomb (2 from each pheno), 2x Blue Dream. Behind them are another 4x Blue Dream that I dropped straight into soil, looks like all will root, will pick 4 of the best to do a 3x3 with 4x BD's in 5Gal pots. Have 2x Blue Pyramid clones just about ready for party cups, liking the look of this pheno so far, large, strong plant. Will run a second 4x 5Gal 3x3 with the best of 2x THC Bomb and 2x Blue Pyramid.

Bottom-Left, Flower Room:
1st 3x3 at front is just past 3 weeks, nice bud development, colas are shaping, should start seeing some small bud porn by next weekend. 2nd 3x3 is still stretching at just shy of 2 weeks in. Buds are now developing, should settle down the stretch this week. Will then tie them down and even out the canopy. Looks like they'll end up 8-10" higher than the 3Gal 3x3. All are healthy/strong and praying lights-on.

Bottom-Right, 2x2x4' Tent:
The 4x Harlequin's in 2 gal pots are loving the LED/CFL combo. buds are dense/tight, all levels are developing good size buds. They're at 5 weeks, 3 or so to go, lots of time to fatten up those buds/colas. Very healthy, no defs or sign of stress. Very easy grow so far. Looking like a decent yield from 4x 2gal fabric pots. Pheno #1 smells incredible and will be carrying on for sure.

Ok @GroErr more help. Got to setup my veg room now since have flower room up and running. I have a 30x30x40 space. To small?

What would be best light for this space to assure coverage, growth, with no burn. I think CFLs but wondering about LED would work in such small space. Height being the issue as light size. Thanks again

You'll be fine in there for space in veg, I've even flowered in my small 2x2x4' tent. The ideal light in there imo would be a blurple panel like a Mars or Vipar and they're cheap. One with a veg/bloom switch would give you more flexibility as you can turn diodes on/off depending on season, like run veg only in summer and veg+bloom switches on in winter to adjust your temps. not sure where you'll be running that and native temps in the room the tent will sit.

You could use/try CFL's like 5000/6500k but you may run into heat issues due to your tent height. I have added CFL's in my 2x2x4' tent form time to time to assist in flowering and bring temps up but I have mine in the basement on a cement floor and beside the central air/furnace. And in flowering I like 80F. In veg I prefer between 75-78F so I don't run anything other than the Mars panels.

T5's would be fine too if you have some already but that depends on your room temps, they can throw off a lot of heat, similar to CFL's.

With veg you can use pretty well anything, if you can check temps/RH in the room where it will sit it may be easier to recommend something that will be easy to manage.

The main reason I'd lean towards a blurple LED panel is the height of your tent. They don't take much overhead/space and you can get within inches of those panels without worry of burning your plants. So in a space so limited in height (40" height) those panels would allow you to grow them as tall as 32" before flipping if you wanted to. With anything else your overhead is going to be higher which will reduce the maximum height of your veg plants.

Outdoor Blue Ripper gals at ~8 1/2 weeks outside, side and top view shots showing how spread out they are. Should see some stretching and pre-flowering over the next 2 weeks. Thirsty beatches, drying up those pots every 2 days now :shock: You can see how little rain we've had, grass is taking a beating.

Those really are stacking up well for 33 days.

Cheers JD, with 25-30 days to go there should be a couple of zips in there by the end :) Ever since I setup the negative DIF environment, combined with the 630/660nm at the beginning and 730nm at the end of the light cycle, they've been producing great, really happy with this setup :D

Blue Ripper F2 BR2-4 pheno is ready to go, will be pulling it tonight at Day 71. Took a while to mature the tips of the colas but noticed the pot was still fairly wet last night so it's slowed down uptake. Time to chop, chop :) Great smelling and tasting pheno but not enough punch compared to the 2 keepers and a 10 week finish just doesn't fit into my perpetual cycles.

I solved this problem by creating a separate finishing space, so ladies that aren't done have someplace to go while they ripen.

The 4x 3gal COB girls at Day 36 are stacking up nice. Only one I know will take about 60 days under the COBs is the Blue Ripper but the others are looking like they're maturing at rates close to that. The Blue Ripper and Plemon are still winning the stacking contest but the DOG and Fireballs are catching up, late bloomers but coming on strong at week 5. The fireballs has surprised me how much it's stacked up in the last 2 weeks. The DOG is throwing off some fine/dank smells now when I get close to the buds. That Blue Ripper pheno though is awesome smelling under the COBs, still nothing close to it in terp output.

Yeah I'm at that point where I either have to build something or partition off and area to do that. It's been easier finding extra veg space with tents but for flowering I'll need some odour control and that limits me right now. May get to it this winter and partition off another chunk of the basement ;)

It's also nice for giving you some extra time to get the trimming done.

Pulled the last 3gal Blue Ripper pheno at day 71, nice and ripe, smells great. Nice producer for 3gal, solid buds and great smell, had to lean the colas against the door to keep it from flopping like the cola bottom-left - lol Door is 36" wide and door know is 37" from the floor.

Ya know, a trellis works wonders for stabilizing floppy colas... yet another reason for you to consider a vertical setup.

Cheers, mate! :bigjoint:
