It doesn’t look bad for a micro-grow, but I think you’d just get more out of it if the roots had a softer medium to penetrate to.
So are you saying your medium is regular potting soil + 25% peat moss? Because with all respect to different growstyles, I think that’s too dense.
Cannabis in mature grows in somewhat arid, dry conditions. Not too dry, but the soil is not like that of a bog. And I know, I’m basically a bog-man. (Pun on a dubious etymology of Finland, “Suomi”, suomaa = bogland suomalainen = Finnish person).
The point is that while cannabis is a thirsty bitch, it still needs the roots to breathe well. I genuinely think you’d notice an improvement you’d like if you add like 15-30% of perlite/other light airy rock to your mix.
I’ve keen growing about 20 years. Not on this level for the first few, but I’ve had 1x1m and 1.2x1.2m tents for most of my adult life.
I do have pictures going back to the first grow in 2006 or something where I made a panel of fluorescent bulbs myself. Like took a wire from our attic in grandmas house that just had E27 sockets in it, made a square panel with wood paneling, made a hole in the middle, then put the sockets through in a round fashion. It was more than 100w I think. 80w at least, I was pretty proud of it back then.
Anyway I’m in a transitioning phase so my other tent is on the balcony folded. Hopefully it stretches over the frame again, they sometimes seem to shrink when kept poorly. Had a battery check or something so I needed to take down the set for a few weeks.
So now I just have two in veg and three of these small autos to keep me in weed until the next harvest comes in. But I favour the dripfeed hydro, I make them myself. 5l mesh pot on a 50l pot (I can fill in about 30).
It’s pretty much a set and forget. Check everyday, maintain every few days.
But usually I just scrog when I’m not doing these small autos
Old grow where I ran 6 plants in quart containers on day 60 of flowering
