man this grow looks awesome. I wish I had the space/money/time to make something like this. I can't wait to see where it goes.

Have you considered hanging your lights vertically between the plants KBS style to get more bud from the side branches?
I use a typical 6" airstone. I use them because they keep the sound down. However they dont provide any grow advantage as an open ended line. I have considered hanging lights vertically and its in the cards for the future but I would prefer a larger place to work in. This grow is a screen of green so the growth will be very regulated, just big nugs. Our A/C works well but we cant be running it all the time and vertical lighting would require more work by the A/C because the ambient temps would be atleast 8 degrees higher then they are with aircooling.

We do a pretty massive under growth trimming when going into flowering and 2 weeks into flowering. This keeps nice airflow and focuses growth to the top nugs. This is all personal stuff, I dont sell, and everyone knows the best stuff is the big main colas. I am shooting for around 1/2 gram per watt of really really good stuff, but if this G13 is anything like the last strain I grew, i should be able to beat that.. Our last grow in this room went well, but some specific mistakes were made and affected the outcome to some degree. Those have all been addressed and there should be very little hiccups this time around. The extra space will save much frustration and hopefully less likelihood of contamination.

PS. If I didnt mention it before, I use a 35 watt pump for the buckets and a 12 watt for the 2 reservoirs. This keeps things really bubblin. In my small 4 bucket closet, we use a single 35 watt pump to power the res and all 4 buckets and they really rage it.
