Fancy lookin bed bro. Where did you get it?
That's a helluva DIY if you made that.....



:tiphat:

Haha, I didn't make it. dank.Frank was right, it's a geoplanter......basically a large framed smart pot.

the rocks are a great idea!!!!
what is the depth of the soil in the bed?
once u get closer to 10"+, the blumat maxi's work better.
either way, get ready for all sorts of free time, its time saving this way, almost too easy.
the occasional tea every week or 2 is just about all you will have to tinker with.

Thanks Frank! I always like having extra drainage, so I figured 1-2" of rocks would help, the extra silica won't hurt either. I elevated the bed too, it sits on 2" shelfing just to get a little airflow.

The bed was advertised as 36"x36"x10", but when it arrived it's 12" tall.....even better IMO. I have about 10-11" of soil above the rocks. Really liking the blumats and the plants seem happy.

That's a geo planter, Marlo.

I'm liking it a lot so far! Easy to set up, drains well, appears to be durable enough.

On a side note, I'm really liking organics so far.......easy & consisntency so far.




Here is pic w/blumats in and running. I forgot to get a pic before I started super-cropping.

Here is the RDWC scrog. This needs to be flipped in the next couple days. Front right half going diagonally is Legend OG. Back left half is GG#4. Front left between the Glue & Legend is TK s1.......shit is TIGHT in there, :biggrin:

Appreciate the kind words, Lyry!

Cody is dead on, it's just a small fan from Walmart, about $5. It doesn't oscilate.

Thanks Cody!!

Is oscillation necessary?

Do you have more than one in the tent? like 2 under the canopy, and then just exhaust?

Thank you man!

I prefer oscillating fans, but couldn't find one small enough to fit under the canopy. Under the canopy, in my scrogs, I usually use 1-2 of those little fans.......just for minor air movement. Above the canopy I have 1-2 8" oscillating fans and always have the whole tent running on an oversized fan/filter combo. I always like to over-do ventilation and turn it down.

Thanks buddy!

I'm really excited for these RDWC and organic runs......not that I'm not normally excited....:biggrin:. This is one of the largest/densest canopys I've had in good number of runs in RDWC. With the sheer # of Legend tops and the size of the Glue, yield looks promising.....fingers crossed.



what size holes in that scrog net?

They're roughly 1.5"x2".....I forget exactly. IMO for scrog, 1"x1" was too small, 3"x3" was little too large, so somewhere in the middle worked. IMO it's the best combo for a of nice # of tops and even spacing/even canopy.

Thanks Brotha,
I have a 1" but I can cut it up some.
I looked at some at the grow store, and knew 6" was far too big.

I looked on ebay at some soccer goal nets, @ 4".

I'm running a 8x4 flwr tent, with a lightmover 1kw hps, I'll have to scrog the whole thing.

I'd go to home depot or lowes.....check out wire screen. They sell it in rolls, just cut to length.

If it's possible, I'd definitely add another 1K to your 8'x4' for a total of 2K. Even on a light mover, 1K isn't going to be enough to light that big of a space.

Great lookin tents as always BI! When you train the scrog do you weave at all or do you simply just pull back under the screen? Also, do you secure branches with anything (zip ties, etc).

I have a 4x4 of Glue as well, but I use the horticulture trellis and tuck and weave for 14-16 days after flipping cause it stretches so damn much, but HOT DAMN yours is something of beauty!

missed a couple spots this go around.....this is day 14

Keep up the amazing work man! :tiphat:

I think the final plan is to run 1600 true watts of leds. The hps is just there for now, and it helps with winter temps.

I'll go check out lowes tonight. would be nice to get a trellis made up b4 I flip these bitches.
