That's some dedication to the craft though, basically I have "the same" setup, except you've got it significantly improved. Mine's a hydro (with a rather poor drip at the moment, I need to get new pipes and remake the thing) and I don't have UV or infrared.

Basically I have the lazy man's version of your setup. :D

Yeah long story short, it’s the cheap version of the fancy system that nasa figured out. NASA figured out ideal water droplet size for nutrient uptake, a perfect system will spray just enough for a water droplet to start forming on the bottom of the root stock and start to drip off (zero waste). That requires city water pressure type pressure, so $150 pump (all this x2 for both tents) and a $180 bladder tank. So this just atomizes the droplets the best it can, HPA vs my Low Pressure Aeroponics.

Yeah I can definitely see the difference from the roots. Very nice.

Took me a while to respond, wanted to really view the photos on my PC instead of just on mobile.

Idk where you live, but I used to dream of growing outside, and I did, but I live so far up North it's just not worth it when I don't have my own yard to grow on. If it was legal and I had my own yard, I'd fucking love to. Or even illegal as now, but had my own yard. I've grown out of the phase where I went around planting guerrilla grows in the nearby fields and whatnot. :D It did sometimes give a small crop of something I'd use for extracts, but yeah.. here in Finland I've managed much better with indoors. Which is a shame. I'd like a fking greenhouse full!

Oh right and yeah, I supercrop mine as well, that's how I fill out my tent. I have a 1x1m tent and I use two plants there in dripfeeds, very very simple hydros, then I start man-handling when about the 5th 6th pair of leaves starts coming to. I don't really top them in the traditional sense, as cutting something away isn't necessary, just break the top node under your fingers gently while bending it. Supercropping, aye. That'll break the apical dominance, resulting in the plant "bushifying". Then I let them grow for a couple of weeks and then trim the lowest and smallest branches from below and put them in 1212.
