Hey everyone,

I'm exactly 2 weeks into flower. My 4 girls (2 OG Kush and 2 Gold leaf) are really starting to take off. I was good about bending and weaving into the screen during veg and the start of flowering. As you can see by the pictures I'm starting to run out of room, The LED's are about 12" from the tops at the highest points. I don't see any light burn yet but I'm worried that what little room I have left they are going to eat up. Also, I have my carbon filter that is getting in the way of one of my lights...

Does anyone have any recommendation on how to deal with the carbon filter location? How to move it so I can maximize my lights to the top of the tent?

How much more growing "up" does the plant do after its initial 2 week stretch after the switching to 12/12?? I'll post a few pics so you can get an idea.

Here are the girls June 19th at the switch to 12/12

A few different ways to set up filter.
Btw: your plants are being supported by the netting but the squares aren't the proper size for scrogging. 2-3 inch squares are the proper size. You should also have a cloth over the filter to catch the dust and other particles in the air. Stretch depends on the strain.

Very nice looking grow..

You can move your filter out of the tent and put it at the end of the chain. In other words blow into it rather than suck from it. That's what I just did.

I don't do tents, but can recommend weekly foliar kelp spray to keep stretching down. You also need to control day and night temps.

1 is that the fan in the middle and then the filter on the side......if so move fan outside the tent (should of always been) and the filter goes dead center
2 LED light bleaching does not take effect untill with in 4-2 inches of the led light (depends on models) .....the plants with LED react different due to the lower IR then hids and sunlight ....they will get thicker leaves as it gets closer and shorter

My problem is is that I've tapped into my bathroom vent fan which pulls air directly outside to the back of my house.. I go carbon filter to fan to tubing, to ducting where my main bathroom exhaust fan also pulls air out with it... it sounds like a hurricane in my backyard lol
