I had to cut a couple of males. Jedi went into flower. And I have this purple plant still finishing off before the Gorilla Glue can go into flower.

I don't know hey, I think it was more fun having a tent big enough that 2 people and the dog with the plants could all fit

A tad bit later, and that’s all

Entering week 9 of the ZxP, I have just chopped the plants and hung them in the tent. I have also flipped the other two tents into flower. The one ZxP tent is suffering what appears to be the same issue as the big tent ZxP did with regards to a nute lockout. The runoff was also again very high pH. I've already flushed and refed fresh nutes and the new growth looks greener than the established growth, so I said yolo and flipped to flower. Organic Tent™ powering on.

I've disassembled every one I've owned at least once during their individual lifetime in attempts to extend their use. I also find that the motor builds up a lot of fine particles along the drive shaft between the motor and the blades, which increases friction on the motor and eventually wearing it out. I had the wire issue once with a fan, and sorted that out with some new wire and some soldering. I then ended up buying into RAM fans and I have found they work as long as you don't use the oscillation function at all...or so I thought! One of them died after maybe 3 months of just stationary work. Luckily all the RAM products come with I think 6 month warranties so I'll just keep getting them replaced until one lasts longer than the warranty

yeah i got one of those ram fans... of all the things that I've bought it's gotta be the biggest disappointment. Made me very wary of ram products.

So they always break, and that's just how they made, don't think you can get them to last, but the people selling them at futurama say you suppose to have them running half the time, because it will wear them out faster if you keep them running the whole time, So I'm waiting for the last 2 I have to give in and them im going back to hanging desk fans. @SkunkPharm says the wire wears itself out because of A the zip tie keeping the cable in place is basically strangulating the cable while oscellating and the cable is almost threaded through the neck of the grip thing and down, if you can unthread it and have it come out of the housing, it will take a lot of stress of the wiring. Maybe give that a go.

I've gone through so many of those clip fans

Chomping at the bit these little one's. I'm still prepping and these decided they happy in the compost/worm castings made by us. Went to a seed swop of a different kind today. Have loads of food to grow between the Mother Herbs in the tyre garden.

I've given the Organic Tent™ some attention today. I've repositioned the two Wedding Cake plants in the middle so that they do not overwhelm the OMG plants surrounding them and also removed more big fan leaves in general. I'd also like to give an initial observation to the four OMG plants I've got going. OMG #1: Super thicc edition. The internodal spacing on this plant is so tight that in the time I have grown an 8-way manifold on the other plants, this one is still stuck on just an initial top, so two main stems. I'm thinking of just keeping this one at two main colas so that it doesn't compete with itself too much and to also keep up in terms of height. This pheno would be really good as a sea-of-green with many small pots and single colas. If this pheno rocks me dead then I'll keep it, otherwise I will be selecting for yield and training ability. OMG #2: Getting warmer. An 8-way manifold was achieved but it's still quite tight. This is as tight as I would want before I feel like the stems would begin heavily competing with each other. I've put a comparison photo next to the one below showing the difference between the OMG #2 and Wedding Cake behind it. OMG #3: The cripple. I broke this one while training and the attempted rescue of the stem failed. I might consider topping this one once again to get two colas, or I might just grow one cola. The internodal spacing on this one is also pretty tight so that's why I might lean towards just the one cola. I would say this one is between #1 and #2. OMG #4: Probably the best one going so far in terms of veg growth and training. This one has the largest internodal spacing of the four OMG, but still tighter when in comparison to the Wedding Cake. If it were judged in terms of it's ability to achieve the 8-way manifold then this would be the one. If it yields quality flower it will be the keeper.
