Trying to figure out how I could adopt it to work for my 5 gal bucket because it definitely helps a LOT those colas get heavy asf. I'd try and make one work if at all possible. I seen your net hanging on wall in a past pic and was wondering how you would incorporate it. Let me see what you come up with. There is no wrong way if it works for what you need it to imo.

Nice! Definitely helpful to see how you made use of a trellis in the past. Will need to think about it. A PVC frame does seem like a good method..

As for a 5 gal, found this image of someone who had mounted metal wire directly into the lid of the bucket to create a trellis support

I was thinking about something like that only problem is she is 3.5ft. Wide. If you were to have that one from the rip and train to it it might work idk.

ah I see, yeah 3.5' is a bit wide.. i'd consider using a free standing frame made from PVC and just lift that off the ground when you need to remove the bucket lid.

How are your girls doing? Hope all is well Im rooting for ya! Mine started to show pistols yaaaaay count down initiated lol. I've thought about a free standing from the floor and also hanging but once she is all tangled in it there would be no way to get to the rez. so don't think I'll have one this time but will be tinkering so maybe when my seedling gets bigger I have a plan.

Congrats! I'm still waiting to determine sex, should be soon though. Yeah it's def tricky with the 5 gal. LMK how it ends up working out.

Mine are doing well! They were getting super puffy after the latest res change with a higher nute concentration. Decided to add in the trellis, but just have it hooked to the bars within the tent. I figure when it comes time to change the res I can simply un-hook the netting from the bars and lift the lid out.

Is it close to sleepy time in those last pics? They look nice and green just a little saggy but they do that when it's close to lights out is why I asked if not they should be standing up toward the light

hmm you think they looks saggy in both the top and bottom photos? Pretty sure both were taken in the middle of their light-on cycle. Any ideas why that could be? They seem to be eating and drinking pretty well! About a gal and a half every couple days.

PPMs dropped to 616 yesterday, pumped back up to 760 with nutes and slipped back down @ 746 as of today. Next res change I’ll be increasing concentration to around 850.


Outdoor bubble bucket is doing alright. She's def happier outside; not able to handle the nutes that the tent plants need.

The one by itself is standing up pretty good. Is the inside ones the same as outside one I can't recall? It could just be heavy leaves idk im not dissing or saying anything is wrong please don't take it like that. If roots are good and they are eating and drinking then I wouldn't worry. Mine were like that for at least two weeks but thy were stunned and sad. Not eating growing or nothing.

All good man, I wasn't annoyed by the observation, but just curious if I was missing something.

The one outside is supposedly the same strain as the one on the right in the tent photo (Dutch Treat). The ones in the tent seem healthy, they're just super bushy and dense. Been trying to keep them as low as possible since I know I'm going to have to deal with the 5 foot tent height and I will need to keep the light at least 18 inches from the canopy.

Ok good didn't want you to think I was talking shit. The net could be pressing them down now that I look at it more. I'm having some heat issues I can't seem to rectify for some reason. Gonna need some advise from someone who knows about air movement / exchange cause I build a lung room 3.5 deep x 12ish long put a 12000 btu ac in it and I can't get that air to move to rooms. There are all connected but no cool air movement

sounds like you need an exhaust fan. That should force the cool air that you’re pumping in to move through the space.

I have an 400 something cfm pulling on tar end pulling but I think have a vacuum somewhere idk

interesting.. might be the way the room is partitioned then. Something is is causing the air to get stuck.. I know that doesn't help much, but sounds like a layout issue.

I kinda figured it out. I gotta have positive air pressure in the lung room and negative air pressure in the two rooms then the cool air should circulate. Should! Lol

Nice, yeah I imagine airflow gets much more complicated as the grow space increases..

Latest update on my space, plants growing through trellis, about 2 feet from ground including reservoir height.. only have 5’ of height in the tent. When accounting for 18” gap between light source and canopy, I only have ~3.5’ of grow space..

I’m thinking I should probably flip them into flower. Wish I could keep making them bigger but I just don’t think I’ll have the room with this setup.
