I like that pot setup you had going there, with the smaller pots on top of those huge (ima guess 5 gallon) pots, all filled up with your potting mix and ready to go. I'm medicated out of my mind and I can't really put a finger on why I liked it, it just looked right. Maybe I like the idea of the roots being able to reach down into more soil rather than concrete. I dunno you had some fuckin' feng shui going or something
Err... yeah

You know, thats a good idea... Its too late now cause I already transplanted but if I were to start them in small one gallon smart pots instead of plastic I could just cut an X in the bottom of them and set them on the ten gallon smart pots. That would give the plant another 6 or 8 inches of depth to grow in.I like that pot setup you had going there, with the smaller pots on top of those huge (ima guess 5 gallon) pots, all filled up with your potting mix and ready to go.

Well, thats one change I am gonna make next year. Thanks for the fuckin' feng shui man.
Always a seat man, just remember to pass.
Me too,
Speaking of labors I almost finished the water shed today, got the fan wired and plugged to the thermostat. Still dont have power up but I ran an extention cord to test it. It works good enough. I hooked up the water filter, thats fine but the problem I am having is the float valve in the res.
The dam thing cant handle the pressure. I went and bought a brass one ( OSH $6 ) thinking mine was just low pressure but that leaks too.
The fan at the back of the box is reversable. I can suck hot air out or turn it around and add CO2 to the box and blow in. Outlets will be right along the top beam.
Got this puppy as air tight as I could.
Tomorrow I should have power. I'm uploading a vid of the test.

Sorry if I missed it, which filter is that? Small Boy?
Is that what you use on your water for your cabinet grow? I currently buy my RO water at the local water store and cart it home once a week. I'd like to filter my own water @ home but the RO filters are $200+. This one is half that but I wanted to verify you've used it before first.

Yea its the small boy, good for 3000 gallons. filter replacement is like $25 for both. I got one extra set of filters so I am good for 6000 gallons. It more economical then the tall boy, I think. Anyway yea, My tap PPM is 450 and this brought it down to about 320 ppm. I wouldnt use this in hydro but its sediment and charcoal filter is fine for soil. It will be my pre filter to an R/O when I go hydro in here. Make the R/O filters last three times as long.
Stick around, its gonna be one hell of a ride!
Thanks guys,
Poundage eh? Yea, I suppose so. I have always been more interested in quality then quantity but I guess if things turn out right I will get both. Good thing I am a member of a few co ops, This will be way to much for me and my patients.
The girls took to there new home instantly. The soil Ph is a little under 7.0
I watered them with the filtered water yesterday. This morning they all were reaching for the sky. I used seabird guano instead of bat guano in the mix because it has more nitrogen in it. 10.10.03 I figure by the time they get to bloom I will be adding nutes anyway and the extra nitrogen will keep them green all through the grow. Well, thats the plan anyway. We will see.
Oh yea, I was able to adjust that float valve on the res today so next is to run the PVC. I am thinking two 1 gallon drippers per plant. One on top and the second will drip down through a small length of pvc to the root zone.

Well the idea is to water with a pump on a timer. As the water level drops it fills with new filtered water. Its that simple. I figure I will be out there anyway so I can adjust the ph if nessessary. Once the girls get going I can add nutes to the res and the plants will get that the next watering. Then it gets washed through the folowing watering. I wont need to change the res like I do now. If I need to wash it out I can drain it from the front out a hose and wash it out with regular water out of the red hose bib and let it fill up again.
