What's the benafit of adding an air stone to my water bucket? That's something I could easily do because I have aquariums so I have lots of extra gear lying around

It adds oxygen to the water which helps the plants.

So the tent got a bit of a remodel today. Took everything out and the plants are no longer sitting on the floor. I had some metal racks lying around so I threw them on some 2x4s. And also added another fan and places it behind my heater. The extra heat blowing around dropped the humidity to a much better level. Also when I water now I wont be adding so much. I'll be water more often and adding almost enough to get run off

Nice idea with the wire racks. Looking very good, your ladies will be very happy and your roots will breathe all the way around the pots

Last update for a while lol. I regret growing 5 plants at a time. I should have just popped 2. Its a little more crowded than I'd like. So after much thought and reading I decided to defoliate. Some of the bud sites were receiving almost no light at all. So I decided to fix that.
Here is a before and after picture.

Live and learn! Too many plants isn’t necessarily a bad problem to have.

They’re about to take off. Any leaf you remove, 2 will grow back in it’s place. But it’s important to let the light into bud sites. Nice work!

Another update here. Everything is moving smoothly. They drink so much now. I have to water everybody twice a day and the soil is completely dry.
Unfortunately one of my plants is proving to be a photoperiod. I was thinking she was just a little behind. But she isn't flowering at all. (Defanitly female as she shows sex)
I plan on continuing to grow autoflowers in this tent so I want to keep my lighting at 18 hours. I plan on gifting her to a friend who is growing photo. It's sad after two months work growing her but better than tossing her out.
Here is a pic of everyone

How many days old? She might just be a slow auto (like my GG ).

On the other hand, from the looks of it you could use the space. What size is that tent?

Ladies are looking good. Bravo!

She is 56 days old. And I'm sad about it but I would love the space. The tent is a 4x4. Also she is the same strain as another plant in there that began to flower over 10 days ago. She shows no signs of starting
