hey gidget, dam that looks great, can i have some, LoL. could you answer a couple of questions for me? here is a pic of what i'm gonna do when i grow again, those are 6" pots and the hose, drippers, and spikes are for a self watering rig i made, gravity fed, could i grow 2 small plants just in those pots without having to go to bigger pots? also, i cant decide which soil mix to use and do you add other nutes to the water thoughout the grow for each stage, veg/flowering? i went back to see what soil you were using, i beleive its 1 in my pic of soils, i was thinking about using the african violet mix which has a sphagnum and perlite mix, any suggestions on the dirt, LoL. these are the 1's available at either lowes or home depot around here. thanks for all the great pics and any help, blade
