I’m a geezer, 74, with a perpetual going in our crawlspace. It’s not actually a crawlspace, there’s about 6’ from the dirt floor to the bottom of the first floor joists. So no real crawling, just bending, unless I run into a turd pipe or HVAC duct. Then it’s mostly a lot of moaning.
The space is semi-conditioned, about 1100sq’, crammed with tools (construction and garden, I was a contractor), mechanicals, and probably a few blacksnakes… keeps the rodents down. Pretty much what makes a 'dirty" grow space… great for testing!
It also suits me. Since I’ve retired, I’ve become way less tidy
I’ll get into particulars later, if anyone’s interested, but I know y’all are in it for the pics, so to kick off the new year, here’s a few of my keeper Sunshine Daydream that was chopped today.
She’s the gooiest one yet, the hairs on my arms were sticking together from brushing against her. Went from a sweet berry floral smell, to a super sour, acrid one in the last two weeks.
I’ll be trying to get some female seeds from clones soon, and I’m going to need some help there. I haven’t been successful before.
Happy New Year to all y’all, and hope this year is better than the last one!
Megacrop V.2 one part. RO water. Coco/perlite medium.
I have to add some Soluble Ca in early veg, more in transition to flower. I like CA, I use gypsum when I start seeds, and dust the rootball at every upcan. Mykos at the same time, too.
I only use their P/K in veg for the roots, when I’ve tried it in bloom, it’s not pretty. I’m sure it’s me, but it’s still not pretty.
I have to add a little KSO4 in bloom, or I get crispy margins.
I try not to go over 1.45ec for bloomers, 1.35 for veggers. 0.75 for hazy types.
pH 5.6-6.2. Lower for the veggers, higher for the bloomers. IDK why the difference works, but the gals just look better. I’m not too fussy about a certain pH, kinda let it slide around.
All drain to waste.
I like the MC, I think they use pretty clean inputs, higher quality salts, and they’ve got that geezer with a butt hanging out of his mouth on the bag!
I’ll be interested to see how like that one, ok two part. It took me a bit to get used to the V.2, I liked the V.1!
I’m sure you have away to do your seedlings, but in case you haven’t done them with MC…I’ve found MC really easy by just giving them 1/4 (0.3)ec 5.6 pH when I first put them into cups. I make a gallon at a time, and when that’s done 1/3rd, 1/2, 2/3rds etc… And like I said, always add a bit of Ca, lo!
Ha, small world @GCBudz! Nice to see another familiar face. I went back to check on the barn, might even get 2scoops to stop by… he never was good at closing the door, lol!
