Ramping up after 20+ years

Indoor Growing
#1

Hello All,

Glad to be back in this great community! I spent many hours on the old OG and was very disappointed when it was shut down. Came across V2.0 and decided to sign up again and have some fun.

I’ve been lurking for a while now and finally pulled the trigger when I saw the deals on Black Friday. I ended up getting a little carried away but that’s what it’s all about, right?

Quick rundown of new inventory. Please let me know what you think.

  • 2 x Mars Hydro FC3000 Evo ($360)
    (Originally ordered one Spider Farmer SE3000 but then saw two used like new FC3000 for $180 each!)

  • Vivosun 4 x 4 x 7.5 tent with 6" fan and carbon scrubber ($184)

  • 10 pack of 10 Gal fabric pots - may end up with 5 Gal, not sure

  • Several packs of Mota Rebel Genetics
    ( SFV OG BX1, OG SHANDY, JUANA CHUNKY DIESEL, GHOST RIDGE OG, DEEP GHASH $110 Shipped)

Some stuff I already had on hand

  • Perlite, Vermiculite, Peat moss, Municipal compost, assorted nutes, Panda plastic, DI/RO system
    I just recalibrated Oakton PH meter this afternoon.

Will be doing this in a spare 12 x 12 room. Will grow for personal use.

I live in a no no state so this is my only place to openly discuss.

I’m excited!

Sounds like you’re ready for takeoff :rocket: . I don’t use fabric pots because they dry up faster. I’ve seen others more successful at it than myself. Good luck on this journey! :beers:

:fireworks: :fireworks: :fireworks: WELCOME BACK!!! :fireworks: :fireworks: :fireworks:

If you don’t mind, that Room is B-I-G enough for me to wander over to that far right corner to take a seat, observe your Operation, learn some “Old Skool Techniques”, cheer you on. I’m a “Dinosaur” so I might occassionally fall asleep. I extend wishes of continued success, take care, stay safe, and be well…mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I was debating fabric vs plastic pots. Never used them indoors but like them outdoors so I figured I’d try 'em out. Appreciate your input.

Hey hey mind if I scootch in here and peek at your goods?

I love fabric, but I would say 5 gal indoors has been the sweet spot for me. I love 10 gal pots and have 15 gal fabrics too. They are simply amazing with the plants but late flower, they also drink gallons and gallons per day.

Ok, I went down the DIY Octo rabbit hole and I’m hooked. I’ve already ordered 8 “pots” and will be procuring the other items shortly. Always nice to incorporate a little DIY into the grow. Anyone with input on Octopots please chime in. This place is great!

Thanks Grouchy!

Your posts were a major reason for me to choose the Octo route. I really appreciate the time you’ve taken to layout everything in detail. You’re a true inspiration.
