out of the enclosures on a rainy day for trimming of yellowing/damaged leaves. They’ll also switch positions (upstairs vs downstairs) today too. I also borrowed some LED panels to put up on the third floor. More on that later. This is plant 1 from the third floor.

Third floor

Rainy day today so inside they stay, hurray. spun them around 90 degrees to the right for even exposure to the side lighting. They will probably swap positions between the upstairs and downstairs tomorrow, and I’m gonna put the 10,000k bulbs in the pair of two foot T5 fixtures firing in from...

I’ll switch back to a bloom mix for a couple feedings. They did get a bit darker today, and are muchly enjoying a light evening rain…

Two of them are now taller than The tomato cages…coaxed some branches under the lateral parts of the cages, amd gonna let them rest for a while. The tops are the most vivid lime green I’ve ever seen…not sure if that a good or bad thing, time will tell…

Try these…you can find them at Lowes or Home Depot. Easy to bend in half, round wire (so it does not scrape on the branches), and they have a return memory (they want to spring back to original straight shape so ya can pinch the ends together when inserting in the soil and they anchor in...

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...

Small price to pay for privacy, serenity and being one with nature…

damn, you did say it again!

you can say that again brother!

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...
