pink floyd is legendary, i give ya that... but man no way is pink the new black!! see you got black, flat black, gloss black, semi gloss black, and satin black... but no pink.
does it at least glow cool under black light?
so how is the project 421, is it fun? looks fun from here!!!
Nah it wont glow in the dark but you've given me an idea
Tell ya what man...I'm about wiped out, tired AF this week being stretched to the limit of both physical and metal capacities. And I haven't even started about this weather!
Just some random musings here....
There's parts to this that are like learning to grow all over again.
New light I know nothing about.
Strains I've never grown before.
A journey back into hydroponics taking what I've learned in organics and applying them.
This is almost like reverse engineering some reverse engineering. When I grew hydro I pushed it as far into organics as possible. Then made the switch running my organics as if it was hydro. There's things I can take from the organic soil and applying it to water as well.
Now it gets real interesting because I'm gonna start adding liquid crab and lobster meal to the hydro gumbo. Yeah a real deal seafood gumbo along with a little fulvic acid and base line nutes turned into a hydroponic grow solution.
Started to play with spectrum and I'm liking the results
This pic is from Wednesday night.
Things are bigger and growing more aggressively every day and here's what I see.
The hydro plant is a slow and steady grower. Always perky. Always happy. Never wilts or droops, just doing it's thing and it's growth rate has overtaken a runty Frozen Custard planted 4 days before it.
The soil plants are not slow and steady at all. It's more surge, take a day off, surge again. Repeat. This growth pattern is more about being in airpots than the soil.
There's a degree of stress with plants in airpots. But it's good stress.
When roots reach the air and gets pruned, it dies back a little before it branches out. This gives the plant a stressed look for a day. But after the root branches, it's doubled it's food and water uptake ability and therefore goes on a voracious binge of food and water.
This process repeats itself about 3-4x per week. So it's almost like one step back, two leaps forward. Those leaps are where I find my growth rates in soil comparable if not better at times than hydro. It's not the soil...It's the air. Add in that I aerate my water it's like my soil plants get the best of both hydro and soil.
We're out of seedling stage now except for Cant Get Right and things are taking off.
Today is an adjustment day. I'll look at lighting spectrum and increase food to compensate for what these plants are doing.
It's also time to start pruning. More to come later
