No where near as well as i would like, initially tried some of the potting mix promix though last two bags were sour with really low pH, The HP promix has been more stable and in a suitable range pH wise though watering and changes are slower than say coco, its just in the small containers im using where that limits how big the plant can get its really showing that its not as apt comparably to say coco for the same volume.

Which thinking about that even if say coco is 30-50% more expensive not that im just looking at it from a cost basis though if you need to use 2-3 times as much media comparably to support same sized plants its still not as cost effective.

Just for comment sake if i was running bigger containers 1gal/4liter + and was hand watering i would be considering buying bails of the HP promix and probably reused them at least once.

Have you been in my grow room recently? That is what Iā€™ve got going. I am adding vmc, gypsum, lime, epsom, greensand(for the worms if they hatch in the soil.), perlite to pm hp in 1/2, 3/4, and 1 gal. and feeding if/when nec. 1 gallon performing best, and the 1.5 gal girls are overfed, so iā€™m dialing in.

Yeah yours have been looking good, just comparison wise my expectation in coco they would be alot larger for the media volume is all depending on watering frequency, its not that it cant grow nice plants just i have a feeling of limitation with the pot size im using, consider that 30-40grams dried from a single plant in 400-450ml of coco is what i was getting when running well, promix ive only start to get somewhere near that when ive been running my larger pots.

Is the Cinderevil c99 x Dark Devil by chance?
Sorry if I missed it, you probably said somewhere back there, just figured it be easier to ask than search. She looks magnificent.
Sorry to hear about your ph probsā€¦ I really like HP, didnā€™t you used to grow in cocoa?

that they would be, have given out a bunch of the 1/4 auto format of them, though this one they will be full autos, so just smashed the named together for these instead of my previous C9D labeling.

And yeah use to run in coco, was trying promix just for availability and somewhat locally sourced reasons, learned some stuff though.

Well well wellā€¦ Iā€™d be lying if I said I was only a little interested in procuring a pack or 2 of the full autos, just let me know how much, and send me an email address and I can etransfer ya some coin :partying_face::partying_face::partying_face::partying_face:

Well just did a run through test on one of the yellowing plants, apparently they are just hungryā€¦

1.5ec 6.25ph in 1.2ec 6.0ph out which is exactly what one would expect if the plants are consuming more than they are being given

Hey Mr. Sparkle! Just got my Lemon Pies in! Thanks again! Whatā€™s the lineage on these? I tried searching in your threads, but only came up with your grows of them.

@ChronicMcBudz Straight F1ā€™s from some Fastbuds - Lemon Pies that i won here on OG from Killabeez seedbank, was a 3 pack that only two made it so unfortunately didnā€™t get to play the selection game with them not that its a bad thing just havenā€™t grown any of these seeds out to completion yet so still to be determined at the end result though the couple i grew out and culled early seemed decent and did have a lemon tone to there smell at least to my senses.

And monday morning update time.

Started spraying one Spotted Lime with STS, the Cinderevil seeds are becoming ripe with some nice and and dark and others still slightly green so it gets this week then its chopped. As for the seedlings they are moving along.
