@GoodShit97

see that back one near the tent zip line?

thats 61 inches in that solo cup, and the root zone is actually less than what the solo can hold, i took that plant out and rinsed the media off/around the roots and the root zone would fit in youre palm.... crazy...61~ inches top cola from a rootzone that small, balance & scale.

so i think ill be just fine with a few solos worth of media in the gallon grow bags, and i think 5 cups is about 1/2 or less

to scale.

and watering needs.

I think youll kill it with clones, less veg time and the bigger bags.
You did real well with the solos and these bags wont have you watering 3x a day lol

yea this run should be dope AF, ill be on routine & schedule.

im ready to get it started, impatient as fuck on these moms lol.

and wont have to worry about optimizing watering as much or having to like you say, those solos could have even gone a little further if i watered them more

These ones shouldn't be toppled over 7-10x a day either
I had that happening with 3 plants right now but i got em strapped up now.
Top heavy and they pot bottoms are only like 4 inches across lol.

so far lol

but im bout out of THC NIC and DMT, temporarily

hows ur day so far, i got some sleep while she napped

Day was pretty decent, both kids went to school today since the little dudes pink eye is gone.
But next thing i knew the alarm to get them off the bus was going off lol. Apparently i slept for a few hours
I too am running low on thc, but about to harvest 2 plants in ~10 days and i have prolly about a half oz left
Need a bigger space but my wife wont budge on using the laundromat lol.
Says selling the washer and dryer so i can have the laundry room is stupid.
Well i can put them in our bedroom too ya know
She wont budge on that either

right, i need to that one left over done.

well....it odes suck using laundromats, we have not had a washer/dryer since weve started, it fuckin SUCKS

gotta go to my parents to wash or a laundromat...cost us ~40$ once for 4 loads or so

Well i can put them in our bedroom too ya know
She wont budge on that either

partners...

 

[GoodShit97]

gotta go to my parents to wash or a laundromat...cost us ~40$ once for 4 loads or so

Whoa, its a lot cheaper here. Only 3.00-4.50 a load depending on the size washer ya use, then $.25 per 12 minutes of dry time.
It was about 20 bucks a week when we were using the laundromat.
I could put the washer n dryer in my bedroom where the tents are and then have a 6x12 grow room but she wont let me do it. Kinda pisses me off not gonna lie lol.

I would need a 4br or a 3br with a functional basement.
My oldest is not enjoying sharing a room with his little brother anymore so id need a room for each of them plus myself and wife lol.

I just know what the guy has in the house and property and its not even close to 250k
Plus it still needs a well, septic, electrical, plumbing, and a heat source....

Not worth 250k, but i might be wrong idk.

yea itll probably take another 250k to get it finished, idk. lol

I figured prolly about 100k to finish it but thwts still a lot on top of the 240 they are asking.

My father-in-law built next door to this one, 2 years ago. You can see his roof through the trees in the porch picture in that ad lol. And he's only got 145k into it. Thats buying the 1.2 acres of property and building the house but he did it himself with his dad.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/matric-potential

so ive heard of this before, back to it again because now i actually know and see or comprehend it now and what it means/works



The matric potential of rockwool is a crucial parameter for understanding its water holding and drainage behavior, vital for its role in horticulture and hydroponics. Here's a breakdown of the term and its relevance to rockwool:


Matric Potential:

• Represents the energy required to remove water from a porous material like soil or, in this case, rockwool.
• It's a negative value, with lower values indicating stronger water binding and higher values indicating easier water extraction.
• Typically measured in kPa (kilopascals) or cm of water column.

Matric Potential of Rockwool:

• Rockwool has a unique pore structure, with a mix of large and small voids. This translates to a bimodal matric potential curve.
• At low tensions (high negative values), water is tightly bound in small pores, resulting in a steep decrease in matric potential with increasing suction.
• At higher tensions, water becomes easier to extract from larger pores, leading to a plateau or less steep decline in matric potential.

Implications for Horticulture and Hydroponics:

• Understanding the matric potential of rockwool helps growers optimize irrigation strategies.
• Low matric potential ensures adequate water retention for plant growth, while high potential allows excess water to drain freely, preventing waterlogging.
• Different rockwool types and densities have varying matric potential curves, requiring adjustments in watering practices.

Examples:

• Rockwool slabs for vegetables typically have a matric potential of around -10 kPa at saturation and -4 kPa at field capacity (ideal for plant growth).
• Rockwool cubes for seedlings might have a slightly higher matric potential, around -5 kPa at saturation, to facilitate easy rooting and avoid waterlogging.

sorry, but KISS is for actually STUPID people

yall are smart


it is a fucking grow forum, the point is to share knowledge, new methods and techniques, show off what youve learned, no?

and people bring this ignorant shit to the forums, i do not like it or agree with it, take that shit out of here.

its a grow forum
the whole point is to find the best ways to do something, or to constantly improve designs and methods, going deeper in the sciences, and share new ideas and thoughts, communicate.

what works, what doesnt, what works really well, what may work even better, etc.

i am so sick of ignorant ass people

maybe, partly, just me taking things the wrong way

We all have our interests and rabbit holes.

You happy, not bothering anyone, doing your own thing? Fuck’em.

Friends poke fun. Assholes bring opinions and attitude. Ignore the later.

I think your nuts doing so many plants at once. But in a nice way. A way that respects your efforts and learns a few things from your interests and attempts.

So you be you brother. I might shake my head or giggle here and there but I’m in. Never a dull show here.

ill take that as a compliment, haha. i love my plants, brings my RH up too ;p, and as pipecarver mentioned, its like hitting a lot of balls at once, (pracitcing golf), "practice" and learning as fast as i possibly can, high functioning.
