These were started on 26 Apr 21 and look to be doing well as they transition to flowering. I’m really constrained height-wise in my tub, so lots of LST to keep the canopy low and even. I’m using shelf brackets to extend the stalks with multiple colas beyond the perimeter of the airpots in which I’m growing.
I’m expecting delivery of a 6 fixture T5 light, that will hang horizontally at the front of the tub opening, pointing in at the plants. The 4 fixture T5 light I have there now will move to the back of the tub enclosure, also pointing inward toward the plants. I have a Marshydro TSL2000 above them (at roughly 20 inches separation) aiming straight downward, and a pair of Phlizon 1200 watt lights at the ends of the TSL 2000, pointed inward at the plants at roughly a 45 degree angle. I don’t think I can squeeze any more photons in there.
I've used the shelf brackets before to widen the canopy and it worked well, but eventually, too many shelf brackets make it impossible to rotate the plants to evenly catch light, hence the lighting scheme. Each part of each plant will get direct light from at least one of the five
View attachment 4910338View attachment 4910339 lights above the tub. Right now, the airpots are sitting on plastic milk crates, and if I get more vertical growth than I can manage, they will move to sit on the bottom of the tub which will give an additional 11 inches of headroom.
this is in a bathroom on the top floor of my house and it is tough to control the temps, so the whole operation is moving to a ground floor bathroom today...I’ll document the assembly and relocation later today.
