Yeah I put it up on some milk crates and wrapped the ratchet hangers on and used them to hoist it up. Took me like a fucking hour, I had to do it a few clicks at a time alternating sides until I could get it on my shoulder. It went a little faster after that.
I needed ropes to assist my ratchets on the way up :rolleyes: . This tent is new to me although it is a gorilla i was very nervous cranking on those ropes and praying everything would hold.

Oof, yeah I can't imagine hoisting up a big one in a tent. I'm glad I spent the extra on the unistrut to hang everything from. I think I'm gonna put some chains up for the filter too for safety sake. The manufacturer says it's 48lbs, but it felt like more than that lmao.

Yea that is asking a lot of the ratchet hanger. Chains make me feel better when i am under it :ROFLMAO: . When i first set up the tent i had the filter offset from the center and was so nervous about the weight i took it back down. This time i wired all four of the center overhead supports together so the weight is more evenly distributed. This is the first tent( heavy duty Gorilla) i have owned and i am not sure i could hang something that heavy from other manufacturers tents.

You can try resting a five lb. weight on the top soil to hold the pots down and prevent them from falling over. I just recently put some 1/2 gallons outside and the higher winds knocked one over before the end of the first day. I threw some 2.5 lb weights on them and they've been fine ever since. Just a thought.

Yeah they got vegged waaaaay too long while I was finishing the room. I think I can save a few of the smaller ones, but the deputys are probably gonna have to go.

You guys think it's worth bucking what's there to make hash? They are at 21days, but there is a good amount of trichs. Just not sure if they would be mature enough to be worth it.

With all the problems I've been having with this cycle, I figure starting fresh might be the best idea. Cut my losses and loose a few weeks, and save myself the headache of dealing with these overgrown monsters lol.

Those trichs won't get ya high . Try and salvage it if u can . There's a lot of potential product there and if u do it right u can enjoy.

I sad fuck it and chopped them. Between the falling over, multiple branches getting burnt by the lights, fungus gnats, and unknown mites in the coco, I figured I would start fresh. I should not have attempted to flower them that big in the first place. I was only on day 21, so it should only put me back 6 weeks or so.

It will give me a chance to get the lights and carbon filter laid out like I want. I have 8 clones vegging right now that should be good to go in 3ish weeks. Debated on popping a few beans to fill out the space, but I don't really have anything I want to run in my collection. Have a few partial packs that were mutant city when I tried before, and some wedding cake and ECSD S1's. Might pop a couple of the ECSD's but I'm not sure yet.

Oh, and I also ordered a 20 pack of 3gal pots. I've found 5gals to be a bit too big, and 2gals to be a bit too small, so 3gals should fit the bill nicely.

Sidenote, fuck amazon. Never had a card compromised after buying anything online, except for twice on THE BIGGEST FUCKING ONLINE RETAILER IN THE WORLD. Also I'm pretty sure they sent me counterfeit shoes too, I bought a pair from the DC website that were the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, and picked up a pair of the exact same shoes off Amazon a year later and they legit hurt to wear.

For what its worth i would have done the same thing :ROFLMAO: . Hard lesson to learn but sometimes its just better to cut your loses and move on so you can have things the way you want them to be.

It's a bummer, but I have enough in the personal stash to get me by. I just could not think of anything to fix the problem other than wrapping a trellis vertically around them, but that wasn't really gonna work that well anyway with staggered harvest times...
