New round qued up. SIP moms, huge totes and much better understanding of moisture curves

So, i Been away since October, started a Job that’s directly effected by Black Friday e-commerce. So was 6 days midnight schedule.

But im back, got a new flower run going on, built sip bucket’s for Mom’s, popped some new genetics for next round after this.

Well start first with the seeds/lings.
As expected, im working through authentic Genetics entire catalog. What’s going on now is;
5x NL2 x Purest Indica
5x SfV Og x NL5
2x original skunk 1 acrid non sweet

Here they are after 24 hours soak in 1 part 3% h202 and distilled. All the sfv not only split3, but were jutting a clearly visible tap root. The others only swelled and 50% split hull.

After 18 hours in medium of Fox farm light warrior, alot have broke soil.

Here they are after a week of breaking soil. I got My double pot air gap tech working fill swing. Basically 2 pots, clear inside a black, creates a gap between the inner pot and outer pot letting me keep a goid inch of h202 mix with distilled acting like the air gap in SIP’s.

So the first few posts are going to be catch up.

So here the seedling are in Thier intermediate sexing pots, the 2l black pots.

The White pots are 3 csi chem d x Obama kush, and 3 tcb Britney cut, nick named Iris.

The blue sips are my chosen keepers from last run, 2 phenos from lemon g x lemon party, a selection of (on Haze x OG Haze) x nl5, and Iris (shes still in small pot in pic ) the sips in this stage haven’t yet had reservoirs filled (still need to establish Roots)

Heres the seeds even further along, and a nl5 selected mom (shell reside in the 3.6 gallon. Just wanna run it once More, then More nl5 pops later)

The sips in this groups os dsy before reservoir is filled and air stones turned on.

So here the seed teens are a lil further along and the next run in Thier 20 gallon totes (21.7 gallon to be exact). 3 ‘Iris’ cuts, 3 sour d x Obama kush cuts.

This is in bas coots mix, with 20% of a 15lb 3.0 kit added to coots 3.8 bale kit.

The 10 gallon pots will be used as experiment plants. They’re same cuts same soil as totes, but they’ll be given synthetic supplementation at week 3 and week 5-6 of flower with synthetic bloom booster, like big bud, kool blooms, awesome blossom, etc.

Here’s the 5x5 totes and 10 gallon a lil further along with Thier Ecowitt sensors, Each tote has a deep sensor 10"deep and a shallow sensor about 4" deep.

Sip mom’s day after the reservoirs were filled and air pump’s on. They literally grew 8"overnight!

The 5x5 chosen to flower in various days of growth and last few after pruning for 12 12 flip.

Ill go through at day 12 to lightly thin again and defoliate what’s not useful. They’ve been given build a flower, Craft blend, ocean blend, and amino cal top dress in last pics as well.

Flipped to 12 12 last night, This next lights of will be day 1 of flower.

Under medic grow smart 8 plus, ir add-ons at 15 minutes before on, and 15 min after lights off

Rooms is dialed in pretty good ss far as parameters

Wow 20% of a 15lb kit? I used an entire 40lb kit in a 3.8cf bale. :person_shrugging:t6:

Yes but that was on top of the coots kit, which is already a built living soil, Just less diverse. It gives it an extra kick.

But 15lb kit should go to 3.3 cubic feet Total mix. Including castings and compost and drainage (40% peat, 37% drainage {pumice, perlite, rice hulls & 23% compost {castings , oly mountain, Bud’s)

So if you haven’t started using that yet, and only’ added that to peat, your mix will run out of gas pretty quickly as there’s 60% more volume unaccounted for

For building a 3.0 out of a full bale, you need 40lb kit.

Yeah pumice hydroton rice hulls 2 EWCs and some Vitality compost. The bottom layer is sticks covered with leaves a little bokashi sprinkled on the leaves as well as glacial and basalt dust. All mixed in a 3.8 bale and placed in a 3x3 bed

Smelled really sweet so sprinkled frass and neem on top to counter.

Edit. Added biochar to pumice hydroton mix

So its 3.8 cubes final after all the pumice hulls and compost?

If so i stand corrected.

Here’s what i did after talking to Jeremy direct. Also i want to point out my opinion of him has changed big time after binging on his videos, chatting with him,etc. i can’t judge that company by one employee who was uneducated. From what i see Jeremy has his heart in it, and shares information as he learns it and develops it himself.

And bay area3, the sip, Jesus Christ, the growth is insane, wish id had listened about them much sooner :fist_right::fist_left: thank you for really pushing me to sip.

So coots can be slightly “light” vs 3.0. where coots may need additional top dress or soluble feeds like build a Veg or build a bloom. So adding some additional charge in the form of 3.0 charge mix as per conversation with build a soil, will help that mix stay water only if needed regardless of plant size or reasonable age

Also, these Will be getting a lighting “upgrade” as i prefer to have light as high as possible in tent at All time’s due to the amount of accessories running in tent. The side lighting, uis cables going to all 4 circulation fans, to exhaust fans, side lighting, supplemental lighting, and all Thier cords. I like having all my shit tucked right and tight up on the support bars, having the light stay static at its highest point keeps it cleaner.

Ordered a aci ion frame 10 1000w led. So I can Also hook direct to myself controller, the medic grow didn’t work with either of Thier dongles.

So at 1k watts in a 5x5 with 10 power level settings, instead of just 40, 60, 80, 100 , will afford me to keep perfect ppfd at all times

@Bayarealivingsoil the soil in The sips is 2 bag’s of ready made 3.0 and 1 bag of Dominion blend all mixed up.

As I was doing the math I don’t save enough money to justify having to make space to mix 9 cubic feet of soil so I’ve gone to just at this point forward buying ready-made bag little soil product but buying it by the cubic yard.

It’s actually about a hundred bucks cheaper doing it yourself if you buy a cubic yard you got to worry about it cooking or if you’re kind of messed anything up or anything like that guarantee straight out the bag plus when I mix soil I like to mix like a lot more than I need to and I have really nowhere to store it so it’s better just to buy bags of it what I do is I buy a roll of those bags that build a soil uses by a cubic yard and then just bag up a bunch of bags

Progress in the flowering plant we are officially on day one of 1212 due to the UV light staying on.
Also here are the seedling teenagers confirmed without a doubt females three Northern Light 2 x purest indica and one skunk one.

The sfv OG potential females are getting me very mixed signals through some weird primordia on the lower nodes upper nodes are showing female but I got to see what this plan actually does. But things are healthy I’m happy and we’re moving along

The only thing that’s got me slightly worried is the stretch in those Iris cuts as that plant has thai as one of the parents
