You can squeeze in haha. I love doing notill. So easy. My ultimate goal is to have an outdoor grow with big ass hügelkultur beds and a light dep greenhouse with plants directly in the ground.

Experimenting with this double pot method. Planted her into the 2x4 bed in my 8x8 to fill an empty space.
Found an awesome pheno of my samadhi strain, so I’m revegging until i can take snips and then I’ll make one of those the mom.

Makes total sense . I just started adding rice hulls last spring. Nice half inch topdressing seemed to help with gnats in my veg area . The flower soil has tons of soil centipedes/ hypoasis miles they seem to take care of anything that lands on surface.

Damn I want centipedes haha.
She looks happy so far. Not as big as I’d like to start flowering, but I needed to fill the space. No transplant shock with the stacked pot method. I’m digging it. This is a Grape Snow Train x Chakra Mama from seed.
It’s got balls!
Getting good results cloning with these plugs in a seed starter dome.

Looking good bro! Sorry I missed the mapito question it’s really unique but people I REALLY respect have exceptional results and have been trying to get me to try it for some time now, but I’m set on trying a living soil grow first. I’m going to make some soil up this month and start getting everything I need, too bad I’m broke AF atm lol (story of my life since Covid hit) but I will 100% have a living soil tent to experiment with by the end of summer the absolute latest. IMO rapid rooters/dome and a heat mat can’t be beat, and rockwool isn’t far behind if you use clonex with it. Once you get it right once or twice it’s like a piece of cake, literally just works, faithfully. And other than a quick mist here and there it’s set it and forget it as well. I have a shelf setup with three mondi trays with the grodan clone insert, heat mats below set at 77 and a large dome (7” I think ) with vents. And my little 14w FL’s hung overtop on the underside of the shelving unit. It’s a little cut factory and requires next to nothing. I love it

I think you do too haha. Jk. I just got it set up and it’s pretty awesome. For being a relatively small fixture, it has a great footprint. I replaced an hlg 550rspec in my 8x8. Don’t mind the temp and humidity. That gauge is broken and reads that even with lights out. Just haven’t squeezed in there to take it down yet haha.

Looks nice, I look forward to seeing how it works out for you. I just can’t justify the expense when I already have working lights.

Absolutely! No need to switch things up if what you have is working!

I’ve been experimenting with a stacked pot method for about a month now with 1 and 2 gallon pots. I cut the bottom off of a pot and place it inside another of the same size and then fill it up and transplant into it. When that plant is ready to be flowered in my no till beds, all I have to do is move the top inch of soil from the bed, take the inner pot out of the second one and then place it on the bed and push the soil back around it. So far it’s been working great! Now I don’t have to dig down into the beds to make a hole for the transplants, leaving the soil and microbiology intact and undisturbed and the plants don’t suffer any transplant shock. All the sudden they’re like, “oh shit, I have room to spread my roots!”
Also this means I can veg in bigger pots and grow bigger plants before moving to the flower room. I’m pretty stoked on this so far.

Seems like cutting out the bottom isn’t even necessary, the one I have stacked is just a regular pot with holes in the bottom, I didn’t change or customize anything.
The small holes seem to be big enough for the roots.
I have three that started flowering now and still no sign of root limitation.

I should experiment with two clones side by side. One with the bottom cut off and another without.
