Nope, miracle grow soil mixed with the ground soil. I mixed the soil really good with NFTG one shot. The place I planted use to be a corn field and after used to hold horses. The soil should be ok I would think. I used the cheap miracle grow bc it’s loaded with nitrogen. I went and bought some nutes from ace that are high in nitrogen and low in the P and K. Today the have color back to them but can tell they need something more. I’m thinking about putting some epsom in the next watering but I’ve read it could hurt the beneficial bacteria, Im not sure though. I let the water run all over the plant yesterday when I watered with nutes. It’s been fucking 60 degrees here and cloudy, but they seem kind of happy considering they’re being tossed around the cages in the wind haha

Doing good, working closer to home for now. I have these two mimosa x orange punch’s going and I think I might close it down for a couple months till work slows down and the temps drop again.
Out door is a pain in the ass. Next year I’m just gonna build a fence around them all and not individually. High winds are throwing them against the cage today bad. I starting sticking the branches thru the holes haha

I got 9 woodchucks so far from mine and my neighbors lawns. Those little chucks can ruin a garden really quick and they are destroying all the towns homes and barns that they dig under. I’ve never had this problem in the past it would be a couple here and there but as soon as I take one out 3 more move in. I’m on top of it though no freaking way I’m letting them get near my veggie garden after all that hard work.

I built a hoop house that helps keep the critters out of my weed plants and helps with the crazy wind we have been having but they have their own challenges.

This is my first Barney’s farm I e ever grown and have to say it’s been really easy and such a nice strain to grow. I was looking at the Runtz Muffin they have and wondered if anyone grew it and knows if it’s good?

The wind is my spot has been insane and the weather where I live in NY has been cold at night. It’s been a pleasant summer so far though.

Yes hear north of Binghamton it’s been about the same. It’s been nice and dry so far but the cool nights and now the high humidity with the rains that came through can cause some havoc to the plants in a hurry so hopefully it dries up again real soon.

Salts can affect the aluminum as well. keep an eye on it.
I'd think the only metal that should be in direct contact with feed solutions would be a stainless.

Sweet!Here's my DIY chiller and the CO2 tank I was talking about.
I use a small fountain pump in the tub circulating the nutes up into the cooling tank that is filled with auto anti-freeze then back to the tub. Took a few days of fiddling around to get the temps right but it keeps the nutes between 65 - 68 nicely. Room in the cooler for another roll of 3/8" tubing to run two tubs off it. Pretty sure it would work for something like an 8 pail RDWC as well.

About 15' of tubing in there.

Hot glued some mosquito screen to the fountain pump so roots don't get into it.

I was gifted the cooler and already had the tubing so it cost me $14 for the pump and about $6 for the anti-freeze. Not bad for $20.
Similar set-up...old water cooler... but I run a coil of about 40' of 1/4" plastic drip tubing in the nutes tank with the chilled water in the pumped loop.
