Amen,
But our summers here tend to "Rule" . 75 to 85 every day .
Im thinking I will start the auto's on about May 1 . They would go outside June 1 , We are frost free June 1 till August 15 . What are you thinking ?
I have Short Rider Auto after I bought them, I seen Northern light auto became available .

Nothing worse than a stoned moose in the yard. LOL
I'm going for 5 gallon buckets on the roof . I have no neighbors , just worried about friends stopping by and admiring the real garden, then spotting a funny tomato . No need for trouble .
Im doing my best to keep it 24 .

I started with a 'Keep it simple" philosophy, wanting to keep the # of components at a minimum. The more weeks have rolled by, the more difficult that KISS strategy has been to maintain. My understanding of the vermiculite/coco is that it reduces the amount of waterings required, and since I know myself more likely to be a 'kill it with kindness'/over-water type, I thought 100% perlite would be a good way to try the method. Now that I have done more reading on substrates, Im leaning towards giving coco/perlite a go too.
The most difficult component for me to dial-in so far has been the rockwool, keeping it moist enough to not dry, but not too soggy. The humidity can swing 10-15 points the in area, so its difficult to measure a specific quantity, but at this point, watering about 10-11 ML a day directly into the RW cubes, until the roots get long enough to reach the res. Appreciate any words of wisdom on this...
Rockwool can be a bit of a bugger to deal with.
Please post when you find the solution to the rockwool dilemna. I'm sure that I overwater mine.
The budder turned out awesome. I got toasted last night while making it. I took all of the larger leaves and trimmings and froze them for making bubble hash later. All of the bud and the leaves that were covered with trichomes were chopped and went into the mini crock. The little crock was picked up just for making budder. It holds all of the material and butter and has a bit of room to spare.
There were 14 seeds in the plant with 3 sets of nuts. the nuts opened freely and dispersed pollen when I mashed them. Damn, I hope my room isn't completely seeded.
The new plan is to have 4 plants max in the tent. I allowed the tent to get too full. That was all the excuse I needed to be less thorough in my plant checks.
Lesson learned.

Rockwool solution : STG cubes.
My grow is looking a little more delayed. some minor tweaks to my grow, Like prebuffer my coco with superthrive and epsom salt. so when those come in the mail (i use mail for everything cause stores are always so limited in stock).
im still making notes for my grow journal in a txt file to be putting it.
