Big Soil Little Room, Recycled soil trial

[Dopeboy668]

Wow, this is truly an epic grow. Good luck on the rest of flowering.

how was this weeks progress?

Just caught up on this, your op looks amazing mad props to you FatherEarth.

Everything is stellar. A couple things went awry. One huge issue the drip system was not delivering enough water. seems either grass from the ground cover plantings had grown into some of the holes and stopped water from flowing. I started watering by hand and stuff seemed to really explode. Im soaking the beds every other day and they are nearly dry each watering. Crazy amounts of water. 250 gallons every other day and could probably take more. Been super busy and have a gang of pics to upload. Im overall pretty stoked but not thrilled with the hand watering job as it takes a shitload of time to do. In the future more soaker baskets and less drip line. Each bed will have a separate quick connect for easy mobility. If I use drip lines again it will be with about 5x the line. So maybe 200ft per bed. I used approx 30ft per bed this time and that got me through veg ok but flowering would not have made it...

How big is a bed? And would you mind sharing the ergs of that soil?

 

[FatherEarth]

Beds are 45"x45"x 24" only filled to 18" 200+gallons approx a yard of soil per bed going in.
I'll have to take a reading for the EC numbers...

 

[FatherEarth]

All I know is the light overlap in the center of the room is stacking some ridiculous colas..

So far the earl possible aka shishkaberry is frostier than gg4 by a long shot. Waiting to see the uber trich coverage.. Wish my camera could get a good close up.. It's on but the trichs aren't nearly as huge or sparkly...I'll get some snaps up tonight...

Method Seven Glasses,

Some Glue4 pics

Aea suggests stop sea shield 2 weeks before harvest. I have sprayed it on veggies and then eaten them straight off the vine but I am part idiot. I plan to follow their advise on my mj

if you dont say anything, no-one would have notice about the pics and the glasses!!

lovely, lovely ladys!

and if you wife ask for the sugar, tell her the true, that you dropped over the plants!!

 

[who dat is]

I love seeing updates in here. This is something I aspire to somewhere on down the line. I've always wanted to get a pair of the Method 7s too but never felt like my garden was big enough to justify them. Do they have pro deal on those like they would with snowboard gear? Ha growdeal brodeal

 

[milkyjoe]

I probably missed it...how many plants per bed?

And you ain't kiddin...earl do put some shine on

 

[FatherEarth]

4 plants per bed. Aiming for 3/4 a unit per. Rolled the beds apart to do some canopy work and water the night before. Came in today to find an earl snapped in half! Slacking on getting that trellis up. I dunno why I always tend to fuck that off. I really don't like it but it's much easier to install early in the game. That's the last time I slack on the. Screen.. I attempted to mend the break. EVen though it had dried a bit I shaved back the dry area w a sterile razor added a few drops of some Aea foliar around the edges, (for good luck i guess) and laced it up tight. We'll see if it takes...
Damn glue is drinking so much water she's up to everyday watering. 25 gallons 24 hours later she's almost too dry. daytime peak average temps are 85-87f nighttime lows 69-62 ...Seems like they are taking an awful lot of water... I'll have that EC data for you tonight mj...

 

[milkyjoe]

We're stoners brah. I say the same thing every single time. Especially on a table...put em up day 1 and guide the plants through them. How hard can it be....fuckin I.possible, that's how hard...lol
