Heys guys ^^
I'm still alive, my new ballast works well :D

Quick feedback about my new setup: I must change it..............
First time growing with the fence between clones and light, and I hate that. I prefer my old technique with the fence on the back, even if I use a lot of straps.

I though make growing plants and arrange them almost like an horizontal scrog would be fine, but it doesn't work very well. Fences and pvc pipes are hiding the light and I don't understand why I didn't though about it on my blueprind and during the diy...

Soooo, I removed the actual setup and have put a fence on the back, and I am thinking about a setup like Dystopia (on RIU), but with 8 clones in such a little place (2.6x2.6x3.2), it's most like a semi-sog and a semi-scrog. I wish I don't add the disadvantage of both techniques...
I don't want to veg too long, and never tried both horizontal and vertical scrog, I think I'll have moisture and light exposure issues.

What about a mini-circular octogon? (like your setup, Goozman, but only one light, 8 plants and coco + blumats... Mmh it seems now a totally different setup ^^). Maybe 4 pots on the bottom and 4 other, higher and staggered to fill the space allowed, or lined up, I don't know yet.
Another option is to reduce number of clones, I just have one strain (warlock: tall, very very branchy, x2 stretch), so it's not a problem to do it (unused strain ie), but in that case, I must veg longer. I don't want to add more clones too (I know, I'm a pain in the ass)

Any advices to make me sleep more serenely (or not)?
