I've noticed this as well man, and they seem to have their hands in all kinds of grow stuff and start to see them become more rounded in their products. you know they gotta be doing something right if they have something i want and don't even need!!!
speaking of coke, i tried the oreo coke.. it's good if like washing down cookies with soda, i prefer milk! haha not one of their best colab flavors..
i like that dr pepper strawberry thats been out.
i bet epoxy floors or even a smooth ground concrete would be tough for traction. even my crawler does donuts on a cement floor... there is always the option of modified wheels and tires, careful that can get pricy!!! i bet i have close to $80 in each wheel and tire on my traxxas. brass parts and lead filled, those things weigh a couple pounds each!!! crawlers have different rules, all about low center of gravity.
i like your carpet idea...
something else to keep in mind man, if you do go through the work of building this in your yard you're probably gonna get into different styles of RC, maybe buggies or stadium trucks and then putting a dirt track or sand underneath would be awesome for a few different styles.
i should have taken pics of the sour D.. the tap roots grew short and fat.. the root was puffier than the stem was and shorter than the stem too... odd birds!! all three of em too..
everything else seems to be par for the coarse, one decided to grow right through the middle of the paper towel, not between the layers but right through the middle in one side and out the other!!! i was gentle enough to slide it back out without damage.
two had slight stress when i watered them in i accidentally buried two and had to readjust and spray them off.
i'm kinda concerned about the sour D and the hippo high, i almost went for it and added the ghost train haze in the mix but decided against it. five crazy plants at one time will be enough!! haha
and ya know they still didn't start to eat themselves at all, it keeps making me go back to comment you made about the strength of stonington mix. it's designed to be an all in one and have enough to grow all the way through so maybe i'm adding to much. i want to try and maybe just roll with water till ask for something. it's kinda the reason i added the verm and starter mix in, for one i had them both on hand and wanted to use them up as bot bags were opened already and i wanted to weaken the strength at the same time, so two birds, one stoner..
when i first started growing i took setup advice from somebody i knew and i turned out there was only two things that i could take from his advice one was the only job i have as a grower is to keep the plant from stressing or being unhappy it knows how to do the rest on it;s own. and the second is that the plants only focus in life is to reproduce itself and allow it's dna to spread.
no veg really does seem to turn on all the flower growing triggers at once even triggers like grow stronger to support buds whee the plant is not even thinking about that in veg.
i wonder if this is why no veg doesn't alternate branches. maybe in the plants mind it's like fuck it, it's to late to worry about about doing that now, it's time to worry about reproduction.
now i can't get this song out of my head...
i used to love grease II when i was young.. never really liked any other musical ever but something about that movie always stuck with me..
i'm all eyes and ears on your pruning for sure!! back when you first starting talking about this i was just finishing my mainlines and had thought about growing mainlines with just four legs.
i did very little pruning on this last round and probably should have done more cleaning the lower growth early on. it was really tough to get the back two rows with net in place.. i jumped the gun way to early on the net, i thought the stretch was over and mistimed it by a mile! next time i'll wait for the net till they're leaning and need it, it's why i spent the time making it slide up and down anyway. so it was great to learn a few things from the noveg run that i can carry on to all styles of growing and honestly really enjoyed both the mainlining and the noveg runs and found things in both of them that makes me want to do them both over a few more times, if not forever. i got so sucked into growing with the SIP and my setup that it kinda took some fun out of it and both noveg and mainline really put that fun factor over the top for me. same with the hydro, added such a fun factor that i ended up learning a bunch from.. can't wait to combine hydro and noveg together, and mainline and hydro!!
pretty much leaning towards those erie seeds you sent me for hydro... it's funny how i look at my seed packs now that i have the two site hydro, it's like even number packs are going to hydro and odd number are going soil!! hahaha it's mostly the reason why i bailed on the gassy creme cake, readbeard fucked it all up and sent me four freebies instead of three. i probably would have never thought of the hippo high if there would have only been three in a pack!! haha
