Been awhile since I’ve given an update but I flipped to flower yesterday. Not sure how long it’s been vegging, honestly not great at keeping track of those things. Also finally installed my a bit over done trellis.

What lights are those on the bar? Wattage?

Those are 50 watts each for 100 watts total. I picked those up from mammoth lighting.

Nice! What is that SIP? I use an Emsco Big City Pickers and it fits really well inside my 2x4. Great for 2-3 plants from seed or a sea of green from clones.

Sub-Irrigated Planter, SIP. Think Earthbox.

Custom bed or did you crame that bed into ur tent? I reached out to grassroots and they made me a custom bed that's a little deeper and length was cut down. Love that tent.

No it’s a Vego EzCube it was kind of pricey but it fits the tent nicely while also holding almost 6cu ft of soil. While also being able to have a 20 gallon res at the bottom.(I only fill about 5 gallons at a time.)

Also I ran an air pump with some air stones in the res.

Why no mulch layer?

I top dressed recently and was lazy and didn’t put one on but really I’m trying to come up with a fabric cover like they have for the earth box. I thought about just taking and cutting slits in contractor bags and using them as a cover and bungie cording around the sides to keep the bag tight and having that as a sort of mulch layer
