@Cime, your english is good enough enough. I just got hung up on the missing "E". I dont know why it didn't click. May have had something to do with my meds heh.

@HD & Pendleton, I think I have the same exact pots your talking about. Im not sure if I should be disheartened, or take it as a challenge to make them work. Ill transplant some durban poison seedlings tonight in 3 of the containers and see how they do.

yup that's the one.

if you lose the little blue screw, a cable tie works in their place!

Ive got plenty of twist ties around here, so Im covered if I misplace the cap. What was your major grievance with them when you tried them out?

I can't say I wouldn't want to see a massive amount of root tips sticking out of the bottom and sides of fabric bags. Would make for some good photo ops. I haven't transplanted the DP yet. I was too pooped after general maintenance tonight. Ill do it tomorrow evening, and soon we'll get to see how the roots respond.

I got kinda confused when I read nuts. So you use a syringe too? Provides great control and was a better option than anything I ever found

^^ wtf?

Before I go off to bed I wanted to make a quick update.

Ive moved 4 of the Thai who have outgrown their T5 into the flowering room and have already taken cuttings and placed them into rapid rooters on top of a capillary mat(Burpee Seed Starting Kit). It works pretty well so far and allows me to go without a humidity dome. Maybe I should buy another one and try one under the hood and one not?

The two shortest Thai have had cuttings taken from them as well, but they're not going into flowering room just yet. They're still too compact for my liking. Plus my flower room is getting crowded.

One reason is because of ladies like this one..Ive staked her many tops closer together to reduce her wingspan since this photo was taken.

Love this Thai sativa......what an amazing structure. Well Done Dave...

haha wingspan is an apt term for that gal!

I didn't like the airpots because at harvest I found large pockets of hydrophobic soil that the roots had never penetrated. I ran with them for two cycles, once hand watered and once blumat watered and had the same issues both times.

granted, I was a total newb at the time and I'm pretty sure I'd notice earlier now if I was losing 20% of my rootzone , but I have already come to love the fabric pots and prefer them regardless.

I also think that different watering methods and or media could improve those rigid airpots. I always thought they'd be great in a flood table with coco with roots spilling out all over the place, but that's not really my style.

Thanks a bunch Laza Haze. She's quite the looker I agree Just wait till she really begins packing on the buds. That'll be in about 2-3 months hehe. I expect 180-200 days for her. Patience is a virtue I hear..

She was just as wide or wider as she is tall. About 4 feet 4 inches from the top of the soil. Easily 5 feet+ across during the pic. These ladies will really take a garden over, and here I having just placed 4 more in there. What have I done? Lol.

Ill give my best attempts to the airpots and see if I can avoid the same problems you've had, but tbh, Ive had dry pockets using blumats in regular plastic containers before too when improperly dialed in.

I bet somewhere on this site someone probably has used airpots in a flood table. Id love to see pics of the results too. It does seem like a good fit.

Its been about two weeks since I last updated the Thai. They've gotten leggier than Id like, but I expect that from seed plants. The future clones will be more manageable.

First up is TS-B. This is the one that has the alligator like serrations. The only one out of 6 with this distinct look from this group. Id almost like to cross this one to my favorite Durban Poison just to see how the leaves would look.





TS-E is a little droopy during these pics. I have to keep some of the Thai on the outer edges of my footprint, but they'd prefer more light. Once I can get it further under the light the leaves will perk up again.



Check out the 11 bladed fan leaves. They're around 8 or 9 inches long under MH only. If I place my plants under HPS, I find the fan leaves get even larger and longer..I can only imagine how huge they'd get. Not that Id ever place a pure Sativa under HPS again. Way too much stretch whenever Ive done it before.





More plants to come folks!
