The Psyche Gardens

So next is waiting for the bags to get here, gotta finish this plant/get her out of the way

And get the new plants, grow out some "premium seeds" or hopefully good genetics.

And then I suppose, take cuts/clones from each mom, I planted 1 of each, there's 4.

so each row will be the same strain of however many 1 gallon panda film bags I can cram in a 5x5

sounds like the plan?

see if I stick to it, or if it goes as planned lol.

I am a bit impatient to wait on growing out some "moms" to take clones from though so that's my caveat.
To add

Will probably add a 5th (strain) to the 5x

Takes some cuts from a "pre-98"-bubbakush x granddaddy purple" I have
 
This is gonna be the solo cups on another level, lol fuck

Jungle inbound

Seems I can cram a bunch of these one gallons in the 5x 😎

Slowly trying to set the tent(s) up how I want it, but the power strips I have are working against me

Update pics later

🤦‍♂️

They arrived early 😎

100 panda film 1gal bags for 13.90$
 
well i was in the 5x, in the middle of getting things setup/organized and then BAM, someone tried to kick in my door, so i didnt get too far yet.
 
25$ for that big ass bag of perlite
15$ for the coco bags

The slabs were 10-15$ a piece....I'd need Atleast 5of em...from MR GREEN GROW SUPPLY.

May need another pair of coco bags but this works for now.

The last perlite brand I used was pahroc giant #2, 30$ for about the same size bag .

Some coco as last brand

Wool is so much better though...
This coco is actually slightly different, shouldn't be a problem though , perhaps better.

I do not want the worm castings, but I don't think there's a lot anyways, so oh well, fuck.

Not sure about the leonardite ore or montmorillonite, as I'm not familiar with those

But yucca extract should be beneficial

I basically was lol

My wife and daughter was in bathroom , doing her hair, the trim was broken and fucked/pushed, door wouldn't lock, as soon as she heard the noise she yelled and asked if I was okay, I didn't know wtf happened at first till cat was at door and looked at it.
 
@GoodShit97

yea....i think i can fit more than 25 of these 1gal panda film bags lol...

ima do it too


havent made the time to set it all up since the bs

Need to get the LEDs up & do Cable Management
 
need to get a fookin shop vac for the runoff lol

ohh ill attempt to elevate the tent slightly with some "jenga" Blocks for easier shopvac run off collection lol

bam figured it out lol, if you run low e.c maybe dont have to have as much run off either (?)

we see how this goes soon, not soon enough, need 2 grow out some mothers first i suppose 2 clone from and get the 5x actually running

I keep my kids aluminum tball bat inside my bedroom door.
Its only like 20 inches long but its so light you could take someones head right off with it.
If it came to it i have my .40 in a bedside safe

i wanna get a 1911 .45 soley for protection, to match, incase someone were to approach or break in with a gun also, gotta level the playing field.
 
Fuck.Me


i can fit around 64 of these 1 gallon bags in a 5x, this going to be crazy, you saw how big they can get in solo scale media.....

i need more media
 
Right, i hear you. I need a 46x46 drip tray before i do a wall to wall, but i dont wanna spend the cash on one
Right they are overpriced imo, I'm just gonna use the bottom tent cover as runoff

As much coco as I need I may as well have done the wool slabs I suppose(?)

Lmao


Also, now that I've got one gallon bags, and did the solos C2C, and actually able to see it all for my self, these seem overkill, lol.

Half gallon may have been perfect perhaps


Guess we will see how I/it/they perform this round

Personally id leave 6-8 inches between each bag if i were doing it so the plants can spread a small bit

That would be the way to do it, I honestly may have to, to avoid any possible microclimates with the bags touching, or pockets of unwanted bacterial/fungi growth

But this run will probably have some similar "fuck it" vibes like the 210 solo run, lol.

Just to see the glorious jungle

Some of them nearly grew half the length of a 5x in solos....now im running 1 gals and i was probably right with my first thought to just go with the half gallons instead, which would be more optimized to/at current scale, but went with the Full 1s.....which im thinking may be a little bit too much media, or I dont fill the bags all the way perhaps...
Thoughts are everywhere..

Need to grab some blocks and see if can try to tilt/elevate the tent slight degree so I can catch run off easier once with a shop vac once I finally order one

Can't do much else besides clean up the media spillage and organize, finish getting the LEDs up and cable managed.

Need to preferably get the same brand/mix of coco to keep symmetrical as much as possible.

I can probably fit around 64 +,-


Need around 6 more bags of loose coco.

Bro, those drip tables are so damn handy. I used to do the whole shop vac bs but its just that: bs. Get you a botanicare drip tray and put it onto 4 buckets as the table and it sends all the runoff into a bucket. Game changer for me TOTALLY worth the money. 30D691CE-9BBC-4513-906B-F8F418703E88.jpeg

Yea that's what I'd like to do, get out of the tent, into a room and on tables...

Those 5x botanicare trays $ are nearly extortion to me lol.

But I will need to get one
 
I used 2 S hooks and hung mine horizontal along the ceiling. View attachment 36661
I usually leave it in the tent for the extra heat, but i need the space/it out of the way and I'm going to be pushing closer to 1000 LED watts to have enough PPFD in this 5x for about 70 1gals, I may only fill them slightly above half gallon > 2 be decided.

It is totally extortion, like lots of other products from China. I haven't found a cheaper alternative, however. And yeah bro a room is so much better than the tent, so much room to play with the plants lmao. I got a 3x3 tray for $99. https://shop.fifthseasongardening.c...k-low-tide-3x3-ft?_pos=3&_sid=7bdca8fc5&_ss=r
 
FWIW: You can also use that drip tray in a tent and it works primo.
Yea, that's what I would have done.

Just gonna use the bottom tent cover/tray/tarp, it works just not the best thing.

Need to attempt slight elevation/decline on tent
 
Jesus fuck it just hurts my mind looking at that for $99.99 lol , and I want/need a 4x or 5x....
lmao I feel you. I went half-crazy looking for an alternative cuz I was the same like "the FK if Im gonna pay $100 for a damn plastic tray". A few weeks later Im at the hydro store buying the tray lol. And yeah I was gonna get a 4x4 tray but I figured in a 4x4 tent a 3x3 will let me have the pots but the canopy would be the full 4x4. Now in my room I run like a 6x6 canopy :p

For sure a slight elevation/decline will let you drain that sh!t away. Just make sure to check underneath that tarp cuz I did that before and looked under after a couple runs and I had some black mold looking stuff from the condensation and stuff.
