For science I’m seeing what the small half decapitated one does. Us Brits are big on equal opportunities lmao.
Aeropot is working as intended with the tights over. So far so good

Do you think you’ll be able to flower all 4 in that tiny space? Or planning on a cull lol

I’m not sure i can flower the one in that tiny space mate :joy: but I’m gonna have a good crack anyway. I’d rather pull the pots and drop them in Coco and hope in my bloom room than chop and throw 2 females I think.
Don’t think the 4th is gonna do too much

Taking daily feeds and drying in-between now at least so must have some good root stuff going on. DS4 not doing much still but not dead

Looking good so far. Gonna do a res change (lol) today and add a slightly higher PPM feed.

Looking great, I’m rooting for the little runt.

Me too. On close inspection the one leaf that remains seems to be growing. Even if it’s slowly :joy:

I had one like that, and it happened to be the strongest plant when it got started…

Res change done yesterday. 2l scrumpy bottle for the win to mix it in. They appear to have taken well to a slightly higher PPM feed with a half dose of floraboom because well they’re autos and will probably be blooming next week anyway.

Double tap the decapitated one and you will see leaf growing. Interested to see what happens with it tbh :joy:

Still not light proofed the bucket. But I did have to bleach out a load of green sludge the other day. They’re still happy anyway. This was pre topping

This was post topping.

That’s some almost dry early pulled rainbow kush that’s gonna be smoked later on the fan too

Gonna do a “res change” today. Seemed to have responded well to being topped. Still no sign of preflowers but I reckon the stress of topping probably added another week

Cheers, from Denver, CO, USA!

Following your progress. I am VERY interested in the specs and expense spreadsheets concerning your outfit, there. I am in a small studio apartment and looking to do a singular aero run with a true micro enclosure that ACTUALLY runs well.

I have some challenges, however, as I am in an old apartment building and cannot have too much of a draw, so I was thinking of going LED. Anyway, I am really looking forward to watching your run progress! Thanks for sharing!

Side Note - I just posted a thread concerning grow apps (there doesn’t seem to be one in the forum… hrm…), and was curious as to what app you are using there?

Peace :v:

Cheers mate.

As for budget…it was more of a bodge it. Most of the bits I had just lay around from previous project’s. The tent itself is a marketing piece by matrix to display In a hydro shop. Ended up with it for like £2 but I’ve not seen any this small for sale commercially.

That thread shows you how to make the light :wink:
You don’t need Arctic Alpine fans any am3 heatsink/fan combo will do it.

The aero bucket is a bicarbonate of soda bucket with 4 holes drilled in it for 2" net pots. A 14w pump which are like <£9.
I paid about £3 for 100 of the little plastic misting heads.
A sonoff th16 is around £10
A sonoff basic around £5

The 2 other fans circulation/extraction are 12v PC fans. Running on a little 12v driver…both fans to one driver.

Max draw is 85w usual draw 70w

The app I’m using is called growtracker. Worth a look definitely :ok_hand:



We’ve actually got pistils on 1,2 and 3. 4 is still in limbo

How far away are your lights from your plant. I’m at 8 inches away from seedlings. Is this too close? All your photos seem to show your circle light affixed to the top of your tent I’m confused on how how to keep my light now. Thanks.

Yeah mate it’s fixed to the top of the tent. The tent is only 30x30x60cm. I have about 30cm from pot top to light. Can’t really say how far yours would need to be without knowing the output power etc. But mine is as high as I can get it which will be too short soon enough I’m sure lol

Ds3 is already expressing darker traits. Not sure if you can make it out from that pic. (Easier and quicker than uploading separates and it’s probably a smaller file than a single one of those photos)

Day 3 bloom in the tiny tent. Just done a res change and bleached inside…again :joy:
at this rate they’re growing far too quick to just grow out. Probably gonna drill a couple holes in the top of the pots and feed a cable tie too. Gradually pulling the stem away from the centre and down. Try give these babies space and keep em small. Gonna clip the fan leaves today too
