Are you running any hydroponics right now?
yes I am. I only got moms right now that are getting nursed back to health and debugged.
Let us know if you ever need new mums
Currently I'm getting ready for a bunch of seeds....

You are the man, Lester - thanks so much for your good advice about growing them melons!
"AfterShock" sounds great, BTW.
Unfortunately - I'm screwed, because I can do all of that except for the warm roots.
We think it's a heat wave around here when the temp gets above 70 - Lol.
I hereby pronounce this “the year of the garden”

A fitting title for a bountiful 2021! :friends:
Just use black plastic or a tarp and cut holes for the plant. Lay the soaker hose under the plastic. Keeps the roots a good 10+ degrees warmer and that's enough to make a huge difference with produce. Also keeping even moisture in the soil.
Last season I never wanted to see a garden again. Now in the Winter I am getting that familiar itch and the seed catalogs are rolling in.

All is not lost! You're right, I could do a little experiment this year with black plastic (I see you told me that before, but I had missed it) - that should help the tomatoes ripen faster too! I ran drip lines throughout the beds since installing them - 10-20 minutes of water per 24 hours at a rate of 2.5 gallons per hour - they loved it - first time in a while I didn't have even one tomato crack. Thanks, for the advice.

True - all it takes is keeping the plant healthy for as long as it takes to grow roots and re-veg - that one I predict makes it. At least one of those calyx's will throw a grow tip at some point.

Nice cup of Mexican coffee going, sprinkled some old hash I found in a jar on the bowl and I must say, it works wow. Smooth, tasty, potent. Cured hash and proper coffee is a helluva way to fire up the day!
That little bud, taken off the plant at 7 weeks is shooting roots out the bottom of the pot. Just used voodoo juice only, about 10 days.
Transplanting today and mixing more soil. Need to set up another 4x4 tent and get the 600 hung in there. Can never have too much R&D space.
Still waiting on my Seedsman order. Getting impatient as I have empty space waiting to go. I actually got seeds quicker out of the back of High Times 30 years ago lol
Looking for some GrowSafe. Hammerhead recommends it as a weekly and I havnt used that product as part of my IPM system. Be nice to source some locally, just not sure I feel like going to the shady grow store and harsh my buzz. Interwebs will surely have it.
Time for the morning stroll. Warm outside at 35 with light breeze.

And some amendments came in...yeehaw soil mixing day!
Big bag on bottom is rice hulls. Forgot cover crop so ordered that. Need quite a bit for outdoors too. Should have just gotten a bigger bag. Oh well off we go!

Soil mixing day!
I like to mix 1 cubic foot batches at a time when testing different mixes to ensure a good even mix by hand.
Peat
Ocean Forest
Rice hulls
Perlite
That is the base, mixed thoroughly. Then added the amendments and mixed thoroughly again. I plant directly into the mix.

Hey Les,
Is that all there is to your soil? Do you do any feeding during the cycle? Your plants always look great. Thanks!

I'm testing out some different input ratios currently. I usually use pure blend pro and amended promix. I have been playing around and like the results so I'm going to fine tune a mix.
Right now as a basic potting mix we have :
Peat
Ocean forest
Rice hulls
Perlite
Kelp meal
Crustaetion meal
Neem cake/karanja cake
Oyster flour
Gypsum
Basalt
Glacial rock dust
I will surely have to add some tea or top dress as I get going but it is a start.

I have been mixing soil and transplanting like a demon. Culling some non keepers and getting the MAHA plants transplanted and sexed soon. I will get some pics of those up this afternoon.
So far the soil mix is working great and the plants are a picture of health. Still battling the occasional spot of pm here and there but that will be over as soon as all the plants are pruned and sprayed. Sulphur then GrowSafe two days apart.
Then doing a full cleaning. Go eff yourself PM
This plant was transplanted into the new trial mix first, last week and is looking good at week 3.5 of flower.
