12/16 Day 29 Removed the wall between the two rooms to make a single 4x8. Also built myself a drain table. I used plastic roof material from the big orange store. I sloped it towards the front and plan to add an eaves trough or something along the front to bring it back to a drain bucket. I was thinking it would be pretty easy to convert to a drip feed system down the road if I ever wanted to play with that. It's also off the ground so the roots aren't as cold and I don't have to bend over as much which is maybe the biggest reason I did it... I still have 70" from table to ceiling so it shouldn't be much of a problem. I have ordered another 315W CMH light for in there and will be building a DIY Light Mover. Good times 😁

12/20 Day 33: Tom Sawyer, Rush... Makes me wanna turn it up!!! No water for the ladies again. Wow, I need to do something about the cold nights, some of the ladies are stretching like mad.

12/21 Day 34: OK, OK let's kick this into high gear! I pulled out one of the Northern Lights Autos and now the other one should be about a week left. I started flushing it today. 316g Wet... My ink bird temperature and humidity controllers came today. I installed them but only hooked up the exhaust fan to the cooling for today. I might go look for a little heater later to keep the girls warm tonight. Oh forgot to mention they are listening to some Aerosmith tonight...

12/22 Day 35: Day 35 came and went. They didn't listen to anything last night. I pulled a few fan leaves here and there. They love the room... Temps were much better over night after adding the Temp controller Exhaust Fan and small space heater are on the Temp controller . Nothing hooked up to the Humidity controller yet. My dehumidifier is buried under so many boxes in the storage room!
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Couldn't find anything much local. Most of the stores have put away the gardening supplies. I'm in a small town with a foot of snow on the ground. Most people aren't gardening right now! ;)
@Ripper, I never did see any more of them. I really couldn't identify them as any of the common crop pests so I will chock it up as an abnormality.
Thanks for checking in though! Props.
