OUTDOOR HYDRO!!!!

Interesting this is, I will be following

Was wondering how the Oriental Express was doing? I bet they are getting big by now. How's the strawberries doing also. I was lucky enough to get some out this year also. Not doing to well, but they are doing ok i guess. Had some issues with bugs and a fungi also. Well, take care and hope to see some updated OE pictures soon.

Yeah, how are things going Benis?

Wow, I thought this thread was dead.
Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm moving here in the next few weeks so things are slowing down in the greenhouse a bit. I'm getting rid of a lot of stuff or it'd take me forever to move it all. The Sun Gold tomatoes BLEW UP in the bio-buckets. Big mistake planting them in all 8 buckets; they completely overgrew about half of the greenhouse. Had to cut them down so I'm gonna do peppers with two or three tomatoes when I get to the new place.
Thanks for all the kind words everyone!!!

Well, the graft didn't take
but that's not gonna stop me from trying. Just have to put it on hold until I'm all settled in. Soon as I feel comfortable with the process I plan on ordering a small family of lophos. Wish me luck!

I'm still looking for ID on that little scion. I know it's nothing special but it'd be nice to have a name. It seems like the perfect cactus for practice grafting, produces dozens of littlle scoins that snap right off. Any ideas?

The main man himself! Glad to see you made it to my thread. Definately keeping busy, but nowhere near as busy as you are. The brugmansia is the *other* plant that really got me into growing. They're simply amazing; easy to grow and very rewarding. A got a few new cultivars waiting, one that's suposed to flower continously and anoher that's a quadruple flower.
Here's a 'Supernova' that's currently my largest flower...

I managed to mix up all my seeds again so I'm not sure what's what. I've only got 8 plants from the seed batch but there are some pretty narrow leaf blades in there. I guess I'll figure it out in the end; I was lucky enough to grow a single OE two seasons ago. I'll get some more recent pics soon. As for the strawberries, I think it's all about the variety. Again, lost the tag but there were two that definately out performed the rest. Also, the bio-buckets seemed to be better suited to a deeper rooted plant so I switched them all out for the tomatoes. But not before I got to sample them all

Sup my guerilla brotha, how's things going up north? Hope you haven't suffered any further losses. I ended up getting that WX-10 pump! Left a few ?'s for you about it in Fast Pine's 'Gas Pump' thread.

i always like looking at ur setup.

Wow Lord Benis this is a way cool set man. I have a few ? for about it. First, do you have a heater in there for when temps get super low. Second, doesn't the marijuana want to go straight into flower cause of the lack of light? I absolutly love the little homemade hydro set up that is so simple a economic it's great. Keep sharing the test results my friend.

I have been on this forum for many years and never came across this board. But I have never seen this done before

Love the joining of nature and tech, sun and hydro. We put some house plants in with the others from time to time, it's our house plant vacation retreat, time to get pampered.
