Hey brutha, thank you!
The soil mix is just something I stumbled onto for my bonsai trees, they love it. Ran the same for this grow here, turned out well. No scale, but I filled 9 quart jars end the end.

I did not veg very long though, only about 4 weeks. Curious how it will hold up through flower if I veg twice as long, then flower. Might need some extra legs added then for the end.
We shall see the experiment continues…
