Hi Doug! great thank you, your input will be much appreciated :slight_smile:

I made it a wiki so I could edit any changes to the space or equipment or, (i hope not) if any of them die. its the only way figured i would be able to do long term edits, as it is a (hopefully) perpetual journal/grow.

off they go :partying_face: killer glue, apex r1 and bruces (on the bottom left).

they will be temporarily sharing this 20/4 space with:

  • GG4 S1 clone (on the back), and

  • I would like to say I started a solo cup challenge with myself, but the truth is I got lazy and never transplanted these autos (red solos on the right) - they are a bit root bound i suppose and its been a challenge to remember to water them so frequently, they have had a thirsty ride :pensive:.

For the 12/12 space

GG4 S1 are still in flower I had to turn down the light a bit (which will affect yield but hopefully not that much… they grew too close, burning and foxtailing) I had to cut a bit of it a few days ago, and tried it dried, and it was really good.

I was until I got mold this summer when I tried. That couple weeks before running air and running air with 2 weeks off rain-100%RH was a bummer.

Sorry to hear that. I’m lucky in the sense that I live in a stable climate, I don’t think I’d be prepared for extreme changes.

Interesting medium. What’s your pH after adding the lime to the peat?

Looking good, I will be following along with interest :+1:

Vermiculite and dolomitic lime raise it to 5.5 - I had to add some perlite because my vermiculite is not as coarse as bugbee’s (so that affects CEC and ph a bit - but for the good of drainage). If I had really coarse vermiculite I would not add perlite.

And I fertigate at 6.

Quick update from cellphone. Transplanted 4 plants - gave them coconut water.

and the solo cups are about 10 days away. Not proud of how the solo cups have been, yet… they’re actually better than how I imagined they would be at this point.

If you ask me what I’m going to do with that big ass plant, I don’t know.
