In short it is simply more air for the medium. And that does wonders. Other than that I love the no mess situ.

check out smartpots.com

yo yo yo buddy first off i have to say that CHem D looks sickeningly dank, flip dem bitches!!! as for the new skunks man they look so lush n green id say from the new shoots at the top girls but looking at the branching points too early to tell no sign of bollox or hairs yet buddy

how was the expo?

Thanks Don, I am flipping the Chem very soon, the room needs adjustment before the flip, def in a few days. Really looking forward to blooming the Chems. Been waiting a long time for that.

Today the skunks are on day 1 of 12/12, I really hope I can sort out the males in less than a week. I have already gotten their clones fully rooted. I really don't want to transplant the clones until the males are sorted out. The clones are on Day 10 and desperately need transplant. Unfortunately they will have to stay in the dome until the males are out. It has been difficult to pull the clones out everyday as the roots grow at least ~6 inches daily in the perlite.

Oh yeah the Expose was cool. The main thing lacking was free nute samples. Had that been their, it would have been perfect. Tons of pretty girls, all modeling for different companies. Got a whole lot of amazing posters.

sweet man, the uk expo was pretty naff by all accounts. id love to go to a real show. on the plus side tho im going to see cypress hill in a couple of months which will be i imagine a lot like the expo jhahaha

Cypress Hill...super cool Don!!! I saw them in...guess where....? The Barra's!! Very good show!

Cool guys, I myself have seen CH perform half a dozen times. Haven't been to their show in years.

no heals for any medium to leak.

yeah im super excited ive not seen them before missed them just a couple of times though. i just hope they do the classics and drop a lot of the rock stuff i really hate that. stick to it oldskool raw beats and rap. wonder if therell be smoking in the auditorium hahahaha

What did you just pull that clone out off that it is that wet? I am still can't wait to try your clonning tea.

hey bender, nice grow over there

im going to try the clone tea but without R/O do you think it will still be effective?

and how do you know when to stop watering the smart pots? they dont leak out water telling you when to stop do they?

It was sitting in a dome on a bed of perlite. The perlite was thoroughly drenched in the tea mix before I pulled the clone out. Sorry if the picture was misleading, your observation is on the right track, if the RW cube was this wet it would take much longer to root. But once it is rooted I make sure to have a lot more water in the perlite so the roots could happily grow in the tea.

Man every time I visit a collective and see their clones, they have much thinner roots which are a bit much on the yellowish side. Some nutes I know will def dye the roots, for some reason I am so used to of the milky white roots that are thick and have tons of fuzzy hairs, so when I see roots that aren't white I end up thinking that something is wrong.

Really looking forward for you to try it. LOL I keep posting the recipe over and over yet folks still keep asking what it is, thinking I am trying to keep a secret. I look forward to getting raider's seal of approval on my mix.

Tapwater will not work as good. There is chlorine and chloramine in tap water, and you cannot remove the latter by simply evaporating it. Anyhow even if you filter it, I still always got better results with RO as my tap water is garbage. I use 0-3ppm RO which gives me full control over all the dissolved particles, and that is how I like it, being in full control. Ooops almost forgot to mention why chlorine/chloramines are a problem, the main power of the mix I feel is in the beneficials, I suspect that even roots excelurator is just a concentrated mix of certain bacterias. Chlorine/chloramines will destroy completely or at least hinder the beneficials from doing their magic.

about your smart pot question, I need to know what medium you are talking about, as it would vary greatly. I don't have a set method with coco for watering, I have tried all kinds of things, run off vs no run off @ various rates, and it all seems to work. Your nutes and their dosages can really be some of the main deciding factors in determining how often and how much to water.

There are plenty of other coco gurus on here, jberry being my top one. I am still really new and am very far from having everything dialed in, so don't take my advice too serious. Cloning is much easier to work with because the experiments take less time/space/effort, so I am much closer to my final goal of rooting clones in a single day.

R/O ill hit the guy at the water store up, supposedly theirs is R/O

i just use straight up FFOF (ocean forest) so from what I know it is a bit light weight and wont hold as much water.

im really used to watching for runoff and now im not sure what to look for. am i even looking for run off anymore?

prior to this i learned that I should be checking the ph of the runoff and adjusting to get 6.5 about how much should i be using? not 5 gallons right?

i like that you said it all seems to work, either with runoff or not, that is comforting to hear.

im looking forward to seeing good results from these pots.

thanks

subscribed ill show some bending on a winter outdoor plant sometime soon . tmorrow probably just gotta find the website its from
