Been trying to think of something to set my plants on so there's airflow underneath but I am having more trouble than I should be with coming up with the right setup...Each plant is in a 7g smart pot (cloth). The setup is an X shape. Individual stands or 1 stand for all 5 would be fine. Something cheap and/or easy to build. Thanks.

Wow interesting set up. I'm surprised you can fit 5 in a 3x3 let alone 7g pots. I'd think theyd get crowded. How talls your tent? How far along are your girls?

Yeah, I wouldn't say its overcrowded but there definitely isn't room for another. The tent is actually 40"x40" so thats another 16 square inches from 3ft, and its 78" tall. They are about 7 weeks into veg under a Mars II 900 LED light hanging roughly 24" above. I feel like their growth has been a bit slow but that is at least partially due to some watering/aerating issues. They were in 3.5g buckets before but I started noticing some phosphorus and calcium issues, which was either from overwatering or lack of venting, so I moved them into 7g smart pots a few days ago.

I've seen other grows with plants twice as tall by 5-6 weeks, but these are rather bushy and started from seeds (3x Amnesia Haze, 1x Pakistan Valley, 1x Berry Bomb), so I'm not really sure how far along they should be relatively speaking. I'll probably do another 2 weeks in veg, let them roots grow into their new home, then start my transition.

That's pure green thumb development of an already green thumb.

Thanks for the positive words guys! My new Vero29 3000k setup is arriving today and I can't wait. The Mars II 900 purple light seems fine for vegging but I am just too excited to get these guys flowering under the proper spectrum.
