I have a quick little update..
My flower tent should be here on Wednesday, after that I will do all the wiring and get the rest of the room setup. I still have to build a second door wall and pickup a pondliner for the floor.
I have decided to run 20 gallon smart pots, so I need to make some soil to mix with the soil in the current bed. I will be mixing up 14 of the 20 gallon smart pots to run no till. I hope there moveable once there full!
Anyways, a couple photo's. Just a quick pic of satori and then of the wwxstsm. They are on day 42 of flower.

I should have a room update in the next week or two.

wow i truly love your tent. you can do so much in this space!
and that 4-legged bulb stand looks to me like a space robot who just landed on a remote Planet od Bud
keep us updated!
Thanks for the kind words NKOTS!. I had never thought about the lamp holder like that, but it had me laughing after I read it...it's true..lol
Here is just a quick pic of the veg tent. 3 more weeks to go before they get flipped. I will be transplanting them to the no till containers in another week.
Everything is moving along. This weekend the new tent and lighting goes up..lots of work to do!
Peace

I got the gavita's up and running finally! Tent is up too, just need to get a couple parts for the stacked bulbs and pick up my carbon filter. I am waiting until the soil bed is done to hang my fan in the tent.
Tent shot with a gavita/greenpower 600 EL lamp.
I am super happy with my choice of ballast's and lamps for this setup. Just having it up and running over night I noticed that these put off very little heat. With one 600 running in the tent without any ventilation it only peaked 6 degree's above ambient with the door open.
Here are a couple random veg shots.. These plants are at day 80 from seed in soil today.
ww x stsm indica B \/
And a PCK top for shits and giggles.. This is the runt of the group.
Still need to mix up 150 gallons of soil and gather some missing amendments. The work doesn't stop !

Everything is up and running, finally!
Got the gavita's up and running. Soil mixed and into containers.. I decided on the rubbermaids simply because I plan to move in the next year so this is going to make it easiest for transport at that time. I don't really like the idea of them being in plastic but it is my best option right now. I will do a soil builders tally this weekend and post it up to compare to what everyone else is running.
I guess I should mention that these containers are "new" soil. My base was mixed 2 days before transplant and my amendments went in literally a half hour before transplant. I don't know what will happen but I can't do anything but wait!
All the plants are roughly 3 feet tall at this point ( counted holes in fence, they are 2x4), I am using that as my growth gauge. Everything got a nice foliar of aloe and water right before the pictures.
Here is whats on round next.. Have 4 CSG ECSD x SSSDH tester, 1 Mandala Satori 1 WW x STSM indica "B" and 1 IDK farms 91 chemdog x 91 chemdog. I got the IDK farms seeds from a local seed company..so no idea what I will get. So far, it isnt liking the soil even though pure sativa's grow well in it. It is also about a week behind the rest.
Also decided to take 2 random shots today, one of a lamp and the other of the new Gavita's!
I think I am just happy they are up and running.
Peace!

Just waiting for things to get going. Plants aren't happy in the new soil..too hot. They are coping and new growth is back, just takes a couple days longer.
Flowering flip is in 4 days, I am hoping for a decent outcome.
Here is whats up next.. 4 ECSD x SSSDH CSG testers, 1 Satori, 1 WW x STSM.
ECSD are the 4 in the back, Satori on right front, and WW x STSM on left front. All in 20 gallons.

hi GC
this is looking so advanced! i am sure this setup will rock the bud out of your girls
just a Q: what are all these weeds that grow in your pots (i mean the tiny green plants, at the base of the stalks)?
peace out, buddy
What's up NKOTS! Good to see you still hangin around!
I am using a living mulch on the no-till containers. Right now they are covered in white clover, once that hits 6" or so I will cut that near the soil and let it compost into the soil. After that I will start another living mulch..usually alfalfa, white clover, flax or a leafy green such as lettuce.
I like to keep the top layer of soil shaded and as much mositure near the surface as possible. I like to also throw all of my dead leaves onto the surface. I will take all the leaves and debris from the plants after harvest and chop them up and use them as a mulch aswell. Everything but the smokeable buds go back into the soil.
Peace!

awesome thread, im really loving those beds and the way you're feeding the soil, not the plants.
Hey bro kind of sad I didn't see this thread until now! I knew you were running the ECSD x SSSDH like me but I didn't check out your other threads...
I know it is a little late but have you finished design on the bedroom yet?
I see you said you only have 20A of 240V for power... Have you considered two smaller seperate flower rooms on a flip flop? Would work perfect in my opinion. Two 5x5's or 5x6's.. Idk I think it makes sense to maximize your limited power though.
Is the 20A dedicated for lighting or does it include fans and A/C as well?
Either way you are doing a great job and making me consider No-Till for future grows... Recycling the soil can be messy and take up a lot of space/time. If the soil never leaves the pot/bed their is no recycling to be done! Amazing.
How did you make your first bed?
Are you running the Rubbermaid's with drainage holes or no? I'm gonna guess no but just want to be sure.
Peace bro. Great Job.
