I got my balls washed but I don't know about the ph, I most likely didn't let them sit long enough in 6.5 water after a fk up dropping the water ph to 3.68 so if this grow goes bad its because of my under soaked balls...Its kinda sad having a fail excuse before I start but here we go again.

12 regular Modified Blackberry Moonshine / Cherry pie from DFG in 50/50 VPW30/perlite 6 -3/4 gal pots soil 4 -3/4 gal pots perlite a handful of Azomite and the same with Gypsom. & another handful of Mycos in a large blue tub all mixed together watered then transplant and feed 3/3/3 -1 tsp Epsom salts/gal.

I've these new splitter that can divide a single pot into 4 cells I'm using them to divide pots in half. 3 plants at the back have the bases. The 3 plants up front I'm using clay balls with the air domes and divided the pots in half. The fitting was a bit sloppy so I played with some hose to tighten them in place then shoved small rope up the hose to swell the hose out to fit the sides and although it worked pretty well...fk that too much work...a sloppy fit it is and full steam ahead.

I'm using the red lights for 15 min at lights out and I'm hoping to flip them next week once they start feeding off the bottom

@Pipecarver have you ever carved a duck decoy? Or would want to give it a shot. One that is hollow out that could be used as an urn.

Hey, its nothing I've tried, could be a nice project but I'm not doing any wood work at all now, Summer indoor activities get glum. I've a grey walled tool filled no window dungeon I call home for 8-9 month of the year and just can't get into it. If I took on something like that I'd have to make a few softwood prototypes before I'd attempt anything like that and that would take a while.

Ok and I can appreciate all that. I do know of a guy out in Colorado that does make them. He was on a hunting dog trainer forum I belong to but he got banned for speaking truth. I’m sure I can track him down though through the field trial dog show circuit. Just you came to mind first. These things can take a year or more I know. But my friend ain’t going anywhere. I’m sure my friend won’t mind waiting that long to be floating in a spread again. Knew him over 40 years. This is what he’d want…….

When I get back at it a decoy should be no problem, hollowed out with a nice fitting top though may take a bit of trial and error. I could cut the shape then round it all down into decoy shape. I'd have to youtube it to see how they do it

Sept 1
Gees I've been lax in my posting lately, not much in plant updates, they are all doing well only fed twice so far and they are not feeding out of the autopots yet, top fed only. I was hoping to flip today but I want them feeding off the bottom first. I may have to top them as they are getting too tall already.

1 month old today and I've been using the far reds for 15 min at lights out to see what would happen. They have stretched between nodes with thicker stalk and wider leavesView attachment 71264

Looking nice and healthy!!! Great Job!

Nice looking res but the feed hose out of the top? or is that power? for what...gotta look into it...

 

[OLDCRO]

That would be the feed hose. I like that setup with feed hose higher up dont have all the pressure on the fitting less chance of spill.

 

[OLDCRO]

I think im going to order one. Its Steamrollers Fault this time. The enabler !!!!!!

 

[Rootsruler]

I DIY ed the same thing for around half the price minus the low water level sensor.

I like the AP's but if I expanded into another tent that looks interesting and pretty easy to set up.

If I get the blame you should have checked out Blumats~!

Kind of a set it and forget it.
I use them in my room.

I bought the 4 pack and added 2 more, love them, the only real issue is the humidity with 6 in a 5x5 its not easy to keep the RH down. Winter months are okay but summer its almost impossible to keep it below 60% and in flower that can make it tricky to manage.Air flow air flow air flow.

Maybe a stupid question but how do you know an auto is in veg.
Basically, it isn't flowering yet?

 

[OLDCRO]

I consider it in veg till it starts throwing pistols

Yep, anything under 5 weeks I'd think

I hear you on the humidity. Had a few 70% days too. Only the last week we’ve been able to get 50’s.

Don’t think the Strawberry Lemonade liked it but the other two did great this run.

Sept 5
I flipped them yesterday, in the autopots and again I have the springtail larva in my trays. has to be in the soil, I've bleached and used citric acid to clean with, followed with vinegar then peroxide, then multiple clean water rinses.

Day 1 I got bugs...wtf I've fed them a bath of peroxide and water I'll do it again and again until I see them gone.

I've had my far red lights on for 15 min at lights out for 2 weeks in veg and will continue with them on through flower.

I'll have to keep an eye out for the males in the group but I think I can identify by the biggest tallest plants will tend to be the males, too bad because there looks like a few thick stalk stronger plants

 

[Zen_seeker]

Where are these bugs coming from? Thought you nuked them last run.

 

[Pipecarver]

Where are these bugs coming from? Thought you nuked them last run.

They have to be in the soil I'm using. I did nuke them multiple times, I should & will the next time wash my soil in peroxide before I use any more. I always wet my soil prior to using it, next time I'll use peroxide in my soaking before transplanting. I've been told they are of no real concern as they don't fk with growing roots, they just eat dead organic materials in the soil but they multiply like crazy so I gotta keep them in check. I also have 1 tray overflowing...??? now what?? I'll pull it out today and have a look. it has its own valve I can stop the flow of feed to it and let the rest work as they should.

I'm going to an every day this month gym workout, I'm going to lose this weight if it kills me. I've been going every 2 days since May 30 now 4 days straight I'm going to make it 30 if I can. I know there will be days I can't make it, shit to do but the plan as of now is 30 straight. I've only been dropping 7-8lbs /month and I've 60 more to drop. I feel good, working hard each day and no stiffness in the am so wtf I'm retired. I got me some work to do.

I used to play a lot of hockey and Sept is training month, its always been a good month for me to work out and when I'm working on and finish a set I feel like I've just got back to the bench I need my wind back so I can hop over the boards for the next face off or pull/push/lift my next set of weights...

Hey I'm what I call a crapenter, no square corners in my work. I only use oils on my pipes virgin olive oil, or waxes like Carnauba, White Diamond or Tripoli. I've used a clear coat on some shelves I've made but I'm not the guy to talk about coatings.

also goes up in flames real easy if left on an oily rag in a confined area. spontaneous combustion. When I use it I toss the rag outside and let it sit for days before I toss it in the garbage
