The Spice must grow. Blessed be the Little Maker!

that has got to be the biggest plant in the smallest pot i have seen to date. i bet it’s a b!tch to keep watered.

still looking very healthy. nice job.

Lol,

Nope, suuuper simple. barely an inconvenience. 17gallon tote…holds 11gallons of water when filled to the lip.

Wait for empty [today]. Walk garden hose in and turn it on. go inside and make a jar of nutrients diluted in hot water. Walk outside and pour it in.

Done.

Thats about it.

@OrganicallyChalenged , to be honest that seems a bit complicated and I would absolutely mess it up. my current plants get the same food with little changes in ratios from seedling to harvest. …2-3.5grams of 15-5-15 throughout their lives and they seem to love it. I’m not smart enough to guess proper feed ratio from combinations of different foods.

I personaly dont think you can ruin a grow with osmocote+. I have feed some plants very heavy with osmocote mixed in the medium and didnt have any negative results. I would find whatever fert brand and feeding schedule you like and incorporate it with the osmocote. I basiclly use it as a buffer fert, i dont even factor it in with my feeding schedule. Or you could just use just osmocote+. Lots of options. I feels its the ultimate KISS method of growing.

osmocote+ is pretty close to the ratio you are looking for 19-6-12. You could very easliy get away with water only for veg and adding a PK boost during flower and get really good results.

I dont think you even need the boost. I’m doing fine with same throughout.

i guess i didn’t see/notice the reservoir before. that’ll do!

i let mine get monster sized outdoors this year. they drink a LOT. water at least 2x per day. 3 times on days above 100F.

whatever you’re doing, it looks very healthy.
blessed be the maker.

quick update.

the beast above is drinking roughly 2.66gall/day

The whole greenhouse has this dank heavy smell. up close smells green like wet dirt, vague vanilla. stem rub is camphory not menthol but bright.

One plant tent. This Jack Herer fem is due mid November. Over a gallon a day.

six plant closet.

I think I’ll `rearrange the inside of the closet a bit an get a little more top height… move the fan outside and switch it from blow to suck. May the swartz be with us.

Update

slightly less janky. red panel purely because i like it. so…closet to keep moms/ start seedlings and veg. tent to flower. now to figure our a way to water the closet a bit more passively as watering every 2 days is a hassle…lol.

Ok folks, do not vacc pack your fertilizer. Mine spontaneously liquefied. 25lb of oxidizer has lots of fun stickers but they get expensive in shipping…

Hello the house. life’s been hectic, but not complaining. Il peggio non è mai morto.

speaking of the worst, humidity. I hates it. last couple weeks I’ve had ~37hrs of below 50% RH in the greenhouse. the average has been 80-95%… Yep, mold. I have butchered my beautiful plant. Cut and throw every time I go in. plant is barely sipping, one rez in almost 3 weeks. Dunno if I’m gonna let it run or rip the bandaid. I have trust issues with the flower now. spores everywhere.

The heartbreak is real. I’m greenhousing established autos timed to finish in august only next year.

Since past-Saint had the wherewithal to get cuts, current-saint got working last night. Cuts of cuts taken and bubble cloner is going. Left is lavender Jack and right is zkittlesxbannana og.

Last couple of seeds didn’t come up so maybe it’s the universe hinting. Healthiest of each will be planted. At least thems the plan…

moms in multi-octo. jack herer cut.

Speaking of jack Herer—Week 7 Flower. About 5 weeks to go.

Has completely filled the 3x3.

cones…

Cautiously optimistic about this one. Hoping that the cuts will be ready when she comes down.

Vicarious heartbreak checking in :confounded:
Ive been checking for the update on this one… So sorry to hear it went this way.

Though sounds like past-Saint got your back, and future-Saint got a protocol set :sunglasses::+1:

1st of November. Some things happened. The greenhouse beast and the jack Herer in the tent are written off. Too much mold in one, the other got clogged and crispy. It’s still alive but I am unhappy. Not gonna photo it.

So, on count zero… Lol, no not really. Clones did take. The bucket works wonders. 10 days, roots were very developed.

Planted the 2 most vigorous examples of the 6 cut.

Zkittles x bananna og cut of above is on left. Lavender Jack on right.

The mom’s are fine. Added a jack here cut to the collection.

Some plans to make the gods laugh and some silly spending from me… :joy:
