The thrips are dead, sprays are up to date and forever and big plants went in bloom. Lights are partially sorted out.

I have been watching buildasoil videos and will watch the whole series. They are answering the questions I have had about many things related to lighting and organics. Very informative for the wake and bake. A living bed...i would love to try it but i think a 30 gallon (24 inch diameter pot) with a slight modification can be moved around on rollers from veg tent to bloom room
Watched this one this morning and one on lighting...Do you hang the lights at the top?
The answer is...well if it takes less time to dick around with light meters and lights and you are growing a lot of plants you hang em high and let the plants sort it out.
IF you want to max out your efficiency you hang the lights at the exact right height (each of them) and run it at less than full power gaining efficiency. Using a light meter and aiming for about 925 umol or 50k lux with most 3k to 3.5k lighting. I will try less stress with better canopy management and see how it goes.
For now i have them as high as i can get them and i can avoid them all with my head. Win win for now. Today i change the veg area and fix my air flow problem, help quarantine EACH tent and mitigate when a bug or problem arises down to the fewest places
I am using the 24 X 24 X 7 inch flood tray (inner dim) on top of a 16 gallon commander tote as a recirculating flood and drain or floraflex (will be adaptable). Nigerian Moon Lander...took me to the moon and an epifany. Man that is going to Work
I am going to build supports from 3/4 PVC for one of the 2 x 4 trays and net it up for support. Spot the balls easier, get the spray to them easier. CLEAN.
And for summer pretty much all the tents are just going to veg for the bloom area.
Its exciting again. My grow room redeemed from the grasp of the lazy man... Grow lights are moving to noon to 11 pm. It gives me a broad range of time to do what needs to be done. I had a 2 hour window before and stress while growing seems paradoxical.
Have a GREAT day. It is a wonderful new month. Monkey Juice in 70 days...
The last 5 seedy bitches are going to get a chance to finish off. I heard Frenchies voice, as if in a dream, OLD G.....Do not betray the dimension of ripeness....
I have decided to make every one of them into hash. Each one a separate run so i can taste them all and see. Rosin is great, Dabs get you baked but HASH...well that is the most wonderful concentrate. And now that i have it on top of the washing machine draining in the laundry sink. Wow is it easy to make hash. Turn the knob see you in 25 minutes....drain, ice....water repeat...ice water repeat...until the hash looks like crap then the blob goes in the leaf compost bags.
so upcoming hashes are
Banana OG X Scwaggys Afgan Skunk hash
Bodhi DLA5 X MAC hash (this turned LEMON, smelled like nasty feet until the flowers popped out nice and then smells just like chitral kush lemons now)
Topanga Wedding Cake hash
Animal Cookies X Blue Dream hash
And then...with any luck we are back to the land of the seed free and i can get pressing some flower rosin...
