they're pretty thick so this weekend i plan to take them out and clean em all up and then put a trellis over them as i put them back in place... i haven't given them any food yet, they've just been on the fresh soil and an upcan. they've gotten nothing but rain water and a handful of times i added a little rapid start and a little enzymes. they won't get anymore rapid start though, roots should be about done growing.. been keeping the rootzone between 28-34% moisture. air temps are about 75F and rh is around 49%. lights out drop it 68 and 56%.. i'm not doing anything to keep those numbers other than keeping the doors cracked open a couple inches.. until the smell is a problem i'll continue not having to use any power or devices for climate control.. i only get windows twice a year with awesome sweet spots in my basement.. now and again at spring.

can't see the forest through the trees!!! hahaha

Bushy Bushy..........😎
 
They all look very happy!

I'm joining in on the Ecowitt party with you.
I went looking for a weather monitor I can rely on since my Pulse device has been dropping off all the time. While searching, I saw Ecowitt stuff is all on sale for black friday on amazon and their home site.

Found the monitor I need for my tent but also found another cool little moisture probe with a wired monitor but it's still portable

they sure are!!! when i topped them i went a little higher, i topped after node seven. this gave me an extra node to work with for a little more flexibility. i really think i'm going to continue this the next round.

took them out, thinned em, and rearranged a little... i also added a stretchy trellis for something for them to lean on.

i can honestly say man i haven't had a single hink up or issue with the ecowitt.. solid and reliable are the two words that come to mind!!!

only mistake i made so far was mixing up my #6 and my #9 sensor.. i even put a line under the number so i would know.. nope i still messed it up. i thought i was losing it the one night and then just blew it off.. last night when i was rearranging the plants i also switched the sensors so they're in number order and thats when i noticed it!!

are you gonna get the GW1100 to make it wifi too? or just keep it as a local probe with the screen? i like that it can be both!!!

i've learned with this set of containers and the soil blend that exactly 1/2 gallon of water equals 5% on the soil moisture!! this should give me a great baseline to run with!!!
 
might make a little noise this round... been a while since i had some hard chargers...

when i trimmed them i also added three heaping scoops of fresh soil to the top of each container. the timing on top offs has lined up just right this run. i haven't had to feed yet at all. i plan to make some compost tea next week so that will be their first liquid food.

and i also learned that if i run this size and amount again it will take a full 7.5 cubic yards of soil. (five bags of stonington)

You have any experience with that flower finisher by pride lands? If so any really good way to use it?... Pretty powdery almost liquid....

yes sir, i like it.. they're not drinking as much towards the end so i mix it a smaller amount of water and give it to them as a thin slurry. if you van reach the containers you can always scratch it in the top layer dry. mixing it with a little water is ez peezy though..

i start using just after half way.. about four weeks left. i try to feed the once a week with it and get a little stronger as i go but a little goes a long way. that bag should last you quite a few grows.

Right on man...... I gave it to a couple of them last night I split 10 mils dry between two five gallon pots and I'll water them in again tonight , I had to dig back and some old Green Gro videos to find the dosage... And then I had to dig even a little deeper to find out what the milliliter conversion was to a "little bit" "table spoon" per 5gls water..is what was described....

I know there's instructions on the back of the bag.... Is there a little wonky

It's pretty odd to measure the stuff... For my self- watering pots I just put a pinch and a gallon of water and we'll wait and see what happens.... Thanks buddy...

i go a little stronger than that.. i start at 1 teaspoon per gallon and end with two teaspoons per gallon of water. but like i said when they don't drink much i still force it on them. i'll just use less water but each plant will get a full teaspoon at least towards the end. i would always feed just a little higher than recommended with SIP just because the water is constantly used and always watering down the nutes. its organic you'll be fine!!

did they change their label or something? seems straight forward...

i remember a couple years ago when i first bought their bloom nutes and it had no directions for tea. this was back when amazon still had questions and answers, they got back to me in a few hours with the amount.. i never tried contacting them directly but that particular time they were helpful!!

 
You be downplaying this Ecowitt gear, going all low key and shit. ;smoke

All I know is all of them..AC Infinity, Pulse, Vivowonkysun, PINOC, whatever you can come up with aint got shit on Ecowitt.
THIS is the way it's supposed to be!!!
If they get into the control biz, they'll put the others out of business IMO.
Only thing Pulse has going that's better is the spectrometer.
This shit puts AC Infinity AI stuff to shame bro. Not even close.
Moisture probe seems to be the same tech as many other new types using that blade style probe. That blade style is the way to go and far more accurate than those old style with the metal rod.

Happy to see im not the only one who thinks ecowitt is great for ease of use and no more pot lifting.

Will they work with just an iPhone or is a PC needed for any of the setup or feedback?

Also how deep do the probes go? 3”-4” I’m guessing?

I'll say this about the Vivowonkysun controller and it's the best compliment I can come up...It should have never been put to market and those responsible should be fired.
ACI not having a web portal is another that's really missing the market but if you dig deep, not surprising.
To take that next step and actually be commercial grade quality would lose their main buying demographic. I buy it because I have to tolerate it out of need and not because it's the best.
Pulse is truly next level but often needs to be reset at the router or app.

But yeah, I really like this gateway wifi thing.
It's not even the big enchilada deal, just the small USB device and it automatically found the portable moisture probe on it's own. I didn't have to do anything to link them up.

Info it spits out is very accurate and didn't need to be calibrated.
Display looks the same on my monitor or portable screen but yeah I prefer looking at this stuff on my PC.
Pulse can be on PC too and just makes it easier to navigate and read.
My moisture probe is offline because I pulled the battery for now but that probe is gonna come in real handy from using in my tent to outdoors and the veggie garden being able to see and compare rain totals to soil moisture.

Both. The app can work on any device and there's also a web portal to view your data on a PC.

Stoney has the wireless probes so yeah, 3-5" on the surface. I'd be tempted to see how deep I could bury one and it still be able to transmit.
If you attached a pole to the wired version then the wire is 1 meter long so really you could take a reading all the way up to a meter deep if you wanted.

AC Infinity uses the same blade style probe. It's wired and comes with a depth tube to go down up to 20". It will only work with their new AI controller though. I'm currently running that probe at 8" deep

Christmas is coming so maybe. I don’t want wifi if I get a choice. Bluetooth would be great. Not sure if wired is practical.
