Bubbleponics - Sour Apple Auto

As you can see I had some growing pains during this grow: 1) With my brand new grow room 2.0 I built, I found out the hard way during this grow that I didn’t do a good enough job preventing light leaks into my reservoir. This caused some slight root rot early on in the grow. 2) I clearly nute-burned the plants against my better judgment. I’d read a number of things about how you need to take it easy with nutes and autoflowers, but I didn’t listen. I had mistaken some signs on the healthy plant that I was having a deficiency and over did it with the nutes. 3) I light burned the plants. I’m not used to this ever being a problem either. The economy LED I was using was just barely powerful enough to get a half-way decent yield off of a photo-period but ended up being too much for the autoflowers running on a 20/4 schedule. 4) I still haven’t quite figured out how to get an even canopy. In this case I had no idea what to expect for the stretch on these plants. I think I would have done a better job with a photo-period honestly. However, now I have somewhat of an idea what to do moving forward with future grows. With two pheno’s growing at different speeds and heights, a light with a small footprint, it was not ideal. All that being said, this was my all time best grow EVARRRR. I’m in love with my new grow room. I spent a lot of time dwelling on the design, and how best to utilize that closet space. It really exceeded my expectations. There were some flaws though that need to be addressed: 1) Light leaks I mentioned above. Basically fixed I just need to keep it that way. 2) My blower was way too loud this time. During my last grow of the Liberty Haze, I had the blower buried in a bunch blankets, and that did a much better job at silencing it. Right now I have the blower surrounded with 2” rigid foam, which provided only the slightest of noise reduction. There is a rockwool like substance used for sound proofing insulation that I should try shoving in the foam box my blower is surrounded by. Additionally, I mounted the blower to the ½” ply I’ve separated the two sides of the closet with. I need use rubber grommets that are attaching the shelf I’ve got the blower attached to. 3) I need to get a backup motorcycle lift in-case this one goes out. There is a spot, especially when lowering where it catches. I’m afraid this behavior will prematurely weaken the bearings (regardless if I lubricate or not). If that happened in the middle of a grow I’d be up shit creek. The yields I got this time are just mind blowing to me, especially with the light I was rocking during this grow. I have to say, best economy light ever that I’ve personally experienced!
