    This is what I do, and will continue doing.
    Hope you find a way that suits your grow.
    Just moving the pots has put my back out

    Alzy. I dont think OW mentioned the fan's, I have not removed them the day before as you suggest, that will be something I try when I fire up my lights again.
    I do leave most sugar leaves on though, they are usually covered with crystals so they make for great hash but also offer some protection to the buds when they curl around them. Its the old balancing act that experience makes easier lol.

    Ouch Babybud! I take it that was to flush out? Thats almost 1/8th of a ton you moved!!! Only 1 answer to it my friend, Go hydro! No heavy pots to move. Drain the water out, you are left with a top heavy plant. Even better, go RDWC and nothing gets moved lol. If flushing (which I dont do), just drain with a pump & refil the buckets with a hose pipe.
    Have a heavy toke on your finest fella. W
    Any suggestions are opinion only. I get some right, I get some wrong but I always try to help.

    How I set up my space?

    DWC or RDWC is my next adventure.
    Got some great whit shark seeds and with the issues im having with PM atm im gonna have to clean out and do some heavy duty cleaning.
    I can't knock soil for ease and simpleness. Plus it's the natures way.
    Unless it can grow in a river or stream.???? Dunno?
    Will be asking for a mentor when I start.

    Yep from a femmed ghs.
    Bit pissed but looking the bright side I've got more light penetration so temp should go up and better circulating.
    Gonna replace my oscillating fan from a 9-12"
    What do you think of Having the 9" on the floor of the canopy or leave it out as i have my intake blowin threw ducting into the middle of the groom?
    Any ideas welcome as I'm still combating the PM issue
