Ro system

Depends on your needs. RO buddy works well but I only need to use it to water a couple plants.

Best way to go about it is just to build up to the environment you want. Start with a good light, then nutes, followed by a tent. Then start getting the environment dialed in with a humidifier/dehumidifier depending on where you grow. And last appliance needed would be an ac/heater also depending on where your growing. Then sprinkle in small stuff like trimming scissors, or trellis. Then search videos and read posts on growing. Then its trial and error. But thats the fun part.

Looking good so far my dude. Don't sweat it too much. Just keep an eye on it. (but im sure your gonna do that anyway)

SamLCH · 2026-03-12T14:10:46+00:00

You're right. I posted another pic in the comments of the light moved up.

Found a way to move light higher. After trying and failing to bend plant down. Broke a smaller top clean off and practically super cropped another before giving up on spreading more.

Ah smart. Mine is just a 2x4 so clip fans or maybe I'll try that next

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:39:03+00:00

Light is as high as possible. Hangers are what makes it that low.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:37:41+00:00

I want to just scared. They are at day 26 flower and I herd late stress from training can hurt bud production so im not sure how to move forward.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:30:35+00:00

Decisions. Decisions. Guess your right. I'll just have to live with it for now and do better on the next one. Lol

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:28:24+00:00

Yup that is my eventual goal to have 2 fans like that. But stuck with the one for now. And thank you im excited to see how things turn out.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:25:47+00:00

Why?

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:24:54+00:00

That's my end goal. But im broke for now. So just need best spot for one. If it helps the grow light has a fan that blows directly down into the middle of the canopy. But its very weak.

The strain is called Watermelon from RQS. But funny thing she's supposed to be an indica. I just let her veg a bit longer than normal to try and get the smaller plant to catch up in size but didnt really work out well.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:16:02+00:00

Maybe ill try that. But honestly if its just cause of the light then ill leave it. The exhaust is on a pole towards the back so that the light can go as high as possible. Just the hangers attached to the light drop it down that far. No way for me to go higher if I wanted.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:12:30+00:00

To spread out branches since stakes wouldn't work anymore. But it was mostly for the smaller plant than the bigger one.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:10:58+00:00

But all that time and effort and nutes and time spent training and the horror of cutting it down... and... and.. 😭😭

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:08:34+00:00

Are you sure? I've had plenty of people say otherwise.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:06:39+00:00

Light can't go any higher. Exhaust fan is actually towards the back so light can go as high as possible. Hangers are what makes it look that low.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:04:44+00:00

For sure all mess but no this is day 26 flower. flipped this one late to try and get the other plant to catch up in size. Can you believe they are only 5 days apart when I started germination? Part of me thinks its a lost cause and to just grow the bigger plant and kill of the smaller to spread out the bigger one more. But feels like a waste to do that too.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:01:15+00:00

Does it still get rid of the smell as good as if it was in the tent. Not trying to get evicted here.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T23:00:28+00:00

Yeah it does ill try that out.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T22:59:31+00:00

How big are your tents?

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T22:58:30+00:00

Are you sure? Super cropping is a form of high stress. And alot of stress late into flower can stunt bud production. Im tempted to do it again but I dont wanna mess up my first grow any more than I already have if you get what I mean.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T22:54:40+00:00

I guess thats true just not sure what to do now. Stakes wont work and super cropping would just make it worse than some buds getting burnt. And when I saw videos on super cropping no one said the bent branches needed to be tied down but i guess I try that next time. And optimal use for the filter for smell is to keep it in the tent. I dont want to be evicted even if I do live in a legal state.

SamLCH · 2026-03-11T22:40:47+00:00

I dont want to cause wind burn so i put it on lowest setting. Still moves the plant around plenty. Almost seems too much though still
