GFCI all resolved. Replaced with a new GFCI outlet and put in a new MH bulb and no issues now. They are plugging away, loving the new tent (in my sig if you want to see the new space) I am so happy with the 2x4 space now from my old 22"x22", such a huge difference having a bit of room to maneuver.

Auto blueberry a couple days from sprouting, still covered in humidity dome:

sure I have a look, did my own "studies" with Organic (Bat guano/molasses) Vs mineral (Lucas formular with GH flora duo)

diffrent was too small for me to see/taste, but I do find it more easy to top dress 2-3 times doing flowering and just water, then mix Micro/bloom nuts to every/every second watering, price wise its at least the double tho so I dunno, up to you and what you like

Cool beans thanks.. ;) I hear that..

Top dress you say. If you don't mind me asking, what do you use to top dress bro :??:

I also like the top dressing method. I will use the Fox farms happy frog 5-8-4, some dolomite lime and some mexican bat guano up top and then a EWC tea every 2-3 waterings.

yea I do the same, use some Bat guano, a few times doing flowering (in Veg I repot, and all grow I use a organic soil)

a nice method I use in early flowering (week 2 or so) is to mix the few table spoons of guano with some fresh soil (a handful or two) and top it with that before watering

next time I do a top dressing (week 4-5 or so) I like to give em a bit of Maerl (oceanic Lime) mixed in with the guano (a small tea spoon)

and I use some molasses (organic black strap) in my water now and then (every 3th time or so)

I also have some liquid guano tea I use if I see a deficiency and of course the Bag of Epsom salt (as most strains I grow and specially under the LEDs love Mg)

I was in the grow store the other day, mainly to get perlite I notice they got a new Plagron product called Bio mix

Yeah all those "meals" are super good to use.. good sources of well needed vitamins/minerals. I just recently foliage feeding with huminc & fulvic acids. Been seeing a nice a good bit of difference.. Do you foliage feed :??:

no not really, maybe as seedlings if I have a low RH (winter time) tho I got a humidifier last year to cope with that problem (less then 25% humidity)

when I do I use some Yucca (a few drops) to break water tension (Wet betty can also be used)

also use it in my medium, actually just had to use some, and some H2O2, dunno if you notice my post from the other day (last week) about a bit of dropping leaf`s ?

came to the conclusion that my soil was getting a bit compact and locked out oxygen, so had to treat it with some thing as I can`t move em to a Bath tub and drench em

btw
a few pics from to day

Hey stew. Things are kinda quiet around here? I'm still bitch'n about the likes only because that's the easiest way to get notified on here. Surprised that they didn't fix it. Anyway, your operation is pushing out some good product and you must be happy with the results.






B166- keeping it in a solo? I know you can grow some real monsters in those cups for the hell of it.








They're looking good jart. Blimburn...first time hearing about that breeder, but I was able to pull up their strains on seedman. Have you grown their stuff before?





Looks good hb. Electrical...GFCI, fun, let me know if you need some help.

Hey guys I've been checking in. Wasn't sure if our site was done. Good to see that it's still alive. I will keep checking in.

Peace enjoy the rest of your week!

I'm still here too. Just caught up on the posts. Thanks for continuing to add good information on here fellas. I'm sure there are others that read up, and move on like I do sometimes.

Thanks for the rep hb. Glad you got the GFI issue figured out.

My grow closet is still empty and unlike Slip, my stock is pretty large. Shooting for next year to crank back up, but that can change as I start watching my reserves go down. Using some right now for alcohol tinctures and I plan on baking with some bud in the coming weeks.

Not much happening on the brewery hb. Really haven't been drinking much lately either, but I will get back to it when I have the time. I've been opening a new division of my company and that's taking all my free time. I enjoy my vape sessions at night, but that's pretty limited too.

Take it easy everybody, check back in soon.

Hey all. Added some friends to may space. Some strawberries and momotaro tomatoes to use the left over light on the side. Hazy OG getting super bushy, Blue Dream filling out after being topped and the Auto Blueberry is a tiny runt after 2 weeks from sprout, probably as expected.

Hey everybody, digging your new threads (RIU upgrade)?

Smoked some Blue OG last night, that's a killer strain with a great fruity flavor that has developed more over the months in storage. The Bovedas hydrpacks are doing a great job maintaining moisture in the bud without fear of mold. Lot of my stock is over a year old now!

Saw my Area51 LED sitting in a box in the attic yesterday...shook my head, what a crime to have great tech like that just sitting there being unproductive. I should rent it out when I'm not using it, lol!

So anyone doing any upgrades to their grow space?

I moved my 75 gal fish tank to the same room as my grow closet. I'm starting to think about ways I can run a pump to provide nutrient-rich fish water to my plants using a hose. It would really make watering that much easier not having to use cups and buckets, especially when I have a scrog, pain in the ass to get back in the corners.

Lot of ways I could go with this, just a water hose attached to a pump seems like the least complicated and prone to failure method.

What do you think?

My buddy just sent me a text yesterday saying the Strawberry Dream is just getting better and better (and I agree) as it has been sitting in the jar. I pulled the boveda packs out of my jars after a couple months but they continue to stay about perfect for RH.


Seriously considering putting a 600w in my 2x4 tent, but I am really on the fence since I'm not sure if I can handle the extra heat. Also not sure how much of a difference it will really make in a 2x4.
