Badger goes camping with his buddies

Lol, thanks. Those are my comfy pants.

The grill creates an air gap between the reservoir and the soil. The soil wicks up water from the corners. It’s supposed to create crazy fast growth. I believe the air gap is how the soil can stay moist, yet aerated.

@Chronickyle thanks man, that means alot.

Sorry for the color, I don’t have the controller hooked up yet. I can’t wait to see what these ladies are gonna do.

I watered them in with rainwater. Here in a few days I’ll give them some ewc tea, and then start bottom watering after that, I believe.

I found it silly that the same product came with 2 different types of mulch material. The back is the advertised plastic, the front is material. I’m sure the plastic will do a better job of holding moisture in.

What size tent?

It’s the 4x4 gorilla lite. It’s almost like those boxes were made for it.

Have a feeling that this tent is going to blow up!! May need to figure a way to support them, if needed. Easier to set something up now.

lot of truth in that statement

Yes sir. I plan to make a couple trellis nets out of pvc. One to train, and one a bit higher, to support the colas.

Plants in the cp boxes starting slowly. I’m not shocked at all. They had just been up-potted as I wasn’t expecting to use these plants. Plans changed, so a few days worth of roots got ripped off. It is what it is.

This will make me a little less needy.

The RO system is for growing the plants? You harvested it from the bathroom?

No, I bought it. I’ve been getting water from work and found myself short the other weekend. I didn’t like that.

I have limited space, so I use what I can. I’ll have to get set up better, but this is an improvement to relying on someone else. It’s supposed to clean 50 gallons a day, so I should be good for awhile.

I need something like that, I’m getting tired of this “living waters” shit, too many potential living organisms. ICK

All my life is in my soil. Ro water is easier for the plant to adjust the ph in the rhizosphere, as I understand when it is low ppm. Similarly, it doesn’t take much ph down to adjust the same water.

I’m trying to make it as easy as possible on thenokants and microbes. I should have all the nutrients I need in that soil. I’ve spent a pretty penny to ensure that.

rhizosphere? Yah there are no additional ph buffers in pure water. No bugs either. :wink:

My old setup the well water was so bad I had to put a treatment plant in.
Iron curtain
Chlorine injection
Soft water unit
Pre and post filters

So for those that think chlorine or softener salt hurts the plants, naw not one bit.
Nor did I have ph problems

I’ve heard that plants actually need some chlorine. My only beef with it, is that it kills microbes. Since my style relies so heavily on microbes, I try to minimize it.

My main goal is consistency. I want something I can recreate closely for each run.

Apparently I’m getting a little better at cloning. We barely got a clone of this ppp2 last time around. When I cloned off the survivor, it rooted fast.i was shocked that it rooted faster in the peat pod, than in the water.

These orange grove aren’t too happy. They were in tiny pots for too long, and my starter mix isn’t too popular with seedlings. They are in a bit bigger pots with super soil now, they should perk up and take off.

Also @OleReynard you nute don’t you?

Lookin good bro. I finally have the art of cloning down now too. Humidity was my problem… failed so many times i almost gave up LOL.

I’ve had better luck with the peat pucks, than I did with the cubes. My water clone is what has given me real success, but being out of room I put some in the pucks, under a dome. I was shocked at roots in a week. That’s my first time getting roots that fast.
