Judging by everyone elses (which is cool to be able to do) you should see much more plumping between now and then
Unfortunately these aren't the comp plants. They fit in that little hole you see in the first picture. Lol These are Garlicane by In House. The pheno i received i would not run again, it just isn't dense. I don't think they'll pump much but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I put a clone straight into flower and it never did get dense. Granted it wasn't that close to the light either so..... 🤷‍♂️

Here are a few of the comp plants. They are swelling some. So at least i have a few more days before pictures are due.

Oh one died when i ate the power cord in the mower and didnt fix it for 48 hours. Root rot set in on both of them. The smaller one took it worse and then i messed with it one too many times. Lesson learned. Had a replacement laying around so still have 2 out there. Seems to be working good except for that one hiccup.

If you look close the dead one is in the background. 20210710_134943.jpg

Yeah i should have known better. I just put some new high lift blades on the old mower and wasn't used to the. Lesson learned there too. Lol. Surprisingly they are doing better than anticipated. I'm probably going to have to dig bigger holes and put them in larger totes, the root ball on the one has just about filled the cat litter bucket. They show no signs of flowing yet.

Your new plants look great! And I have no idea how hard these are to get but if you can find one(I gave 20$ at a yard sale) the 2 door lid fits a cat litter bucket perfectly. Man I wish I would have gotten my outdoor dwc not to leak :LOL:

@Zaphod420 thanks for the good words. Luckily i have a couple large totes laying around just for the occasion. They were used for previous grows, so they're already setup for the most part.

Everything seems to be going smoothly except for that power cord issue. Water temps are staying 70-75. Only problem is rain water. I made a collar to go around the base to shed water away from the bucket plus drilling overflow holes in the bucket helps. Rainwater seems to make my nutrient water stink shortly after it rains.

Those collars are really nice. What material did you make them out of? Depending on how long of a run you need for your power cord have you considered getting a run of direct-burial romex and then just bury it a foot or 2 deep so you can run the mower on scalp? Not really sure on what to make of your stinky rain water issue... My rain water is around 7.0 and like 12ppm have you tested to see what yours is?

A buddy of mine works at a steel coil processing facility. He said some of the coils come wrapped in it. It's a heavy plastic of some sort. Obviously able to keep its shape but bendable.

I'm just going to waterproof the connections between cords and spade these in the ground a couple inches. Nothing too long term at this time. Or just move them when i mow. Depends how lazy i am with it. Lol. These are kinda an experiment to see what i can get away with this year and to see if it's worth doing again. 😉

Put this fan together with some aluminum angle, 1/4" steel plate, and what i would guess is an old mic stand? Not sure. Was here when i moved in.

If anyone wants to be a millionaire and has some investment capitol, here's the product.

An extendable pole or angle that has attachments to secure it to tent poles on each end. 2-3 fans per pole, able to be wired in series, and the height would obvoiusly be adjustable.

Perfect for under the canopy at pot-level, a few for above the canopy, lots of options.

I would buy one.
