    Why aren't fabric bags cone shaped.

    Ok, just spitballing here. Before you start filling your pot, put a Pringles can dead center, and layer your soil around it, with some gentle compaction around the can to hold the soil in place. when the pot is filled, gently lift/twist the Pringles can out of the soil, and fill cylindrical...

    I’m kinda flying by the seat of my pants relative to EC…I do adjust ph to around 6.5. I’ll check them out. So far I’m pretty impressed with the stuff, but damn it is a lot of stuff to put in a gallon for one feeding…I just ordered the nutrients my local growmie and I were lacking, so we now...

    Why aren't fabric bags cone shaped.

    Nobody asked, but the square bags are 1 cubic foot. A cylindrical bag, a foot in diameter and a foot tall is .785 cubic foot. The square bag gets ya another .215 cubic feet of volume. I’d figure out the percent increase in volume but I’m stoned as fuck and someone else can figure that out...

    An awesome day, all the way around. Buttoned up for another hour and a half of light, 6 hrs of dark then the lights come back on at 0300. Moving them around is getting to be an autopilot thang…I have the process to set them up and hang all the lights and mylar covered panels down to around 20...

    I got really stoned one day, go figure, and set off to Lowes to find something with which I could pin down the flower bearing branches from the first and second nodes, and get them trained to grow horizontally to the edge of the crates. i started in the garden department and found landscape...

    Why aren't fabric bags cone shaped.

    Nothing - but I like these square ones more than round ones…same material, different shape. More soil volume in the same overall footprint.

    Why aren't fabric bags cone shaped.

    These are pretty cool too - various sizes and the bags have little tabs on them into which you can insert dowels to keep the bags in shape, and provide attachment points for growing plants...

    Why aren't fabric bags cone shaped.

    Yeah, I was amazed I stumbled upon them in my first internet search…they also have a super crate that is bigger than the standard one but I couldn’t find the right size bags for them. No matter, they’d be much heavier and more effort to move around, and the results in the standard one are...

    Why aren't fabric bags cone shaped.

    I got the milk crates from Milk Crates Direct, and the square bags are from Amazon. The bags are 1 cubic foot and fit exactly in the crates. They are so easy to cart around and help the bags keep their shape...

    They will shift around later when the sun starts to set, but will be here until around 1830.

    Plant 4. They are showing slight nitrogen deficiency, but I’ve been clipping the yellowing leaves and it helps with air flow and light penetration. mixed up a gallon of FF Grow Big for nitrogen and a teaspoon of Herculean Harvest bone meal for the calcium. 800 ml a piece, wait half an hour...

    Why aren't fabric bags cone shaped.

    here is A pic of the protective sleeves. I got two from Amazon, and two from HydroBuilder. I like them a lot; less heat, less power consumption, more penetration. It may be confirmation bias, but I think they do a great job, and since I’m running normal T5s in the six light fixture the plants...

    Why aren't fabric bags cone shaped.

    Do you apply as a foliar spray, or in the soil? I put a ton of diatomaceous earth in the last layer of soil in the pots for crawlers, and have them surrounded by citronella (headed out to find more) and mint. Marigolds are claimed to be an effective repellent too, so will add more to the...
