I was in the grow store yesterday and saw a gallon or a small bucket (2 gallon)of some shit it had a price tag of 309$ Ridiculous!

You don’t need that crap @Meesh just concentrate on building a great soil and a year or so you’ll be amazed! Don’t get sidetracked by all the glam and glitter! Your doing the right thing already keep up the great work!

I’m gonna do a side by side comparison you guys for experimental purposes. I think it’s worth it for us all to see first hand. Plus it’s good for me to have a project. Good for my depression

I saw a 4x4x7 tent for 250, a rail system for 250, and the combination of any lights at my local hydro shop also go for 250-1750.

Shops rip you off big time

Planted 3 flats of seeds. Mostly flowers. A few herbs and a couple veggies. The greenhouse has been christened! My boyfriend, because he is super cute and loves me to death. Spiffed out my she shed aka greenhouse today as a surprise and put cute battery operated lights in there. I adore that man. He just “gets” me.

@cannabissequoia it sure looks like it was raining in those pics, but it was just the condensation in my she shed. I love me some classic soul though!

I’m not sure how the plants are gonna hold up in the cheapy greenhouse with these winds we are having. It’s completely shored down, but it’s cheap pvc so the wind slightly rocks it. Got home today in what looks like minutes before the seed trays were about to fall off the shelf onto the ground. I don’t care too much about the flower and veggie seeds but I would hate to lose my MJ when I start it on friday. I moved the trays down to the middle shelf, hoping the leverage is better there as it’s closer to the ground, but I’m gonna be a paranoid mofo all night running out to check it. Ugh! Good thing Glen put those cool lights up so I can see when I go out at night as I pulled all the bulbs out of my security lights in the summer when my plants were budding cuz the neighbors kept setting them off and I wanted my plants to get total darkness.

Oh @Meesh I found another golden find, asked for this book as a Christmas gift. I’m already into over 100 pages of this book one like this should be in every organic growers repertoire! Teaches one how to make everything for pennies on the dollar compared to store bought material, there’s probably PDF versions download here but good to have at finger tips ! I’d rate this one right up there with the "teaming " series from lowenfels

@Meesh maybe you could get some stakes or tent pegs & lash 'er down?

It is leveled, staked and completely shored down. The problem is it’s light pvc so the wind vibrates it just enough to slowly but surely move the seed trays millimeter by millimeter. So far, I haven’t lost any, but this damn evening wind persists. It seemed to help with the trays on the middle shelves instead of the top. The grass underneath has grown like 12 inches in a week. Nice and warm in there! lol

Been pulling up the mallow. The cover crop is mostly overperforming it now and it’s desperately tried to pop up in the grass. I see little sprout tendrils of the sweet peas coming up today. Still anxiously awaiting Amazon for my Mammoth P. It is supposed to show today. Few pics of the veggie patch with cover crop




Fungi is as big as my hand

Good sign of soil building going on there! Can’t wait to see what your going have a year or less from now!

Mammoth P showed via Amazon. It’s been expired since April. I should have listened to @MisticHaze about ordering it online. I was trying to get a jump start after the hydro store was out, but even with Amazon prime, xmas caused it to take a week. My hydro store has it back in stock and is holding one for me. I’ll grab it tomorrow so I can get my autos started. Should have just waited as it ended up taking the same amount of time anyway. I’m hoping Amazon has me just throw the expired one away instead of dealing with packing it back up.

EDIT - I was reading the manufacturer date not the expiration date. Mammoth P is fine.
