    I added Neem/Karanga cake mix, using this recipe--https://growingorganic.com/soil-guide/coots-soil-mix/ I made a little more than 6CF so used 3 1/2 C

    Coots style mix really low in Nitrogen- best amendment?

    Just got back my soil test from a Coots mix blend. I used Malibu dynamic compost and followed the standard amendments. Only diff was that I was missing about half basalt, and Glacial rock dust when i sent out the test. I figured these were slow release additives and wouldn't affect it too much...

    Coots style soil with smaller containers(5G to 7G)

    I've got almost all my parts for my "Earthainer" style build. I will be building 2 30G of these for my 3x4 room. I'm curious as to why you put two wicking baskets in your design. In the Earthtainer build he is very specific about size for this size container. He says if you get any bigger it...

    GSC fan leaf yellowing week 8 of flower

    8 weeks from flip, though she started flowering pretty quickly. Girl Scout cookie- looked way more indica early on. The leaves changed as she flipped to flower

    GSC fan leaf yellowing week 8 of flower

    This plant is pretty healthy. This is my first grow and had some weird nute lock out stuff on my other two plants. She is budding up nicely though still has a good deal of time to do. I am all organic, in a FFOF/HF blend with amendments. She should have plenty of food. Possibly this is just...

    G13..maybe 2 weeks?

    thanks! I will be traveling in 2 1/2 weeks so that may make my decision for me. I'll be gone for a week.

    DIY LED strip suggestions for 3x4 room?

    Probably like a lot of people, I got excited about building a strip system for my flower room using the PLC photo boost, and then had the let down as I was sourcing parts to find that these are seemingly permanently back ordered. They seem like such a great solution and I love the idea of...

    G13..maybe 2 weeks?

    So, I'm coming up on 8 weeks since flip on the G13. This plant had some weird lockout issues, so it hasn't developed as well as my other variety. I just got a loup, and it's pretty cheap, so apologize for quality. This is my first time looking at trichomes, so figured it was worth posting and...

    Thanks! that soil looks good. Like the trenches too. Do you feel that the trenches are important, even with all the stuff in the soil? What are you mixing in to the trenches?

    So, almost commited to this direction for next grow. My soil is ready and I've got the containers picked. I'm gonna stack 2 of those rubbermaid containers, and have 2 units side by side in my flower space. Hoping to have a decent reservoir, so thinking about using 6" PVC for the base. With...

    yes. 2 200W LED's. Currently my tent is 3x3 with a small 1x3 section for clones, early veg. I'm taking that out(making it 3x4 with an added shelf for storage) and planning on doing my veg in a another area

    This is all theoretical at this point. I currently have my plants in 7G airpots. they are a couple of weeks from harvest. I have 4 clones in 3G pots ready to go into flower once these finish. My plan is to transplant them into whatever containers i use, whether they be just the totes with...

    I'm thinking of these https://www.target.com/p/rubbermaid-31gal-roughneck-storage-tote-gray/-/A-79284187#lnk=sametab My only concern is that I'm in a tent, and with them stacked it will be about 20" total. Tent height is 72". That gives me under 3' for total grow height.

    Those are cool! Thanks for sending. How do you run your grow? Single plant per container?

    I'm eyeing the rubbermaind 32G totes, which would fit well in my tent(2 of them). That would hopefully buy me a few days between watering if i go that route. In addition to the supports, how is yours built? DO you use the lid as a bottom for soil? What are you using for your wicking?

    Coots style mix PH and mineral level

    As I'm diving into my soil mix for the next round I'm seeing a lot of folks say to get a general mix going, get a soil test and then amend as needed. My mix is basically made with the general amendments. I have a soil test kit that I'm gonna send off. I ran out of basalt and GRD, so have some...
