Ohhh shit hoop house;) I have been pricing forever flowering auto light dep! I am in love with the 20x48 northern latitude ... May just spring fir it...

But a pipe bender and 40 foot top rail from chain link fence will make a bad ass setup too;)

Yes I am traveling too much . She is not top priority in the day to day but is my TOP priority in my big picture focus... Hope that makes sense...
It brings me joy to hear you learn so much from struggle .. I hope to get there someday... I fight aginst all forms change like a baby;(

Children are Sooo smart when raised in a learning environment ... Too smart.. seen and not heard all that jazz;)

are you kidding? i hate change as much as the next kitty. kicking and screaming i go.
and the learning is only ever in retrospect. i can only hope that when one situation reminds me of another i don't just get reactionary about it. and again, that's all well and good in words, but the kitty behind these words is not nearly so composed. i'm just a doofus groping around in the dark, and the older i get the more that becomes obvious. it's only since hitting my 30s that i'm able to at least bear the universe's cruel jokes with a grim chuckle.

I love T5's now for veg. I am using a six bulb T5 Badboy, and it is working great. I am purchasing a twelve bulb T5 this month for veg within a 4x4 tent. If it wasn't for researching and looking at your results Kitty, I never would have tried nor seen the results for myself.

Thanks.

I love your grow room setup so much kitty do you use xbrite hps bulbs ?
thank you for joining in, i felt that a fresh grow deserved a fresh journal.

a couple of room shots:




a brief synapsis: the girls are og kush from clone:

for our veg, we are running:
2 x 12 bulb t5 badboy
1 x 8 bulb t5 badboy
2 x 1kw mh (we were running 1 mh and 1 hps, but the difference in vegetative growth was noticeable so we recently switched out the hps for another mh)

in flower, we will be running
13 x 1000w hps
and possibly doing some blue spectrum supplement experiments with the t5's (nods to pr0fesseur)

nutes will be
grotek solotek bloom (1 part base nute)
pro-silicate (stress relief + K)
vitamax (b complex)
calmax (cal/mag supp)
.... and a couple other things; we'll talk about them as we come to them

here's the first video update of the current girls :

Oh kitty you just come off very zen;)
I just hit 30 and am just waking up to see who I am! An I love me alot almost too much;)

Any who on to hot button grow topics;) I just found out that superthrive contains my favorite growth stimulant triocontinal as does AN's nirvana and a host of other organic aids ... Alfalfa being the obvious one...can't see to find my link with a full list but a rose growing web site recommends 4T superthrive to 32gal water. As a mantaince dose at the set of buds and two weeks in.... I guess the word is less is more and a drop per gallon every watering is enough....
I used nirvana for years and have dropped it due to consistency issues...
Foliar application seems to encourage" breaking" or stacking as we say...
Anywho just kinda scratching to up my yields without buying more yellow bottles
Want to increase yields and fruit and flower quality? Then look for products containing tricantonal. Triacontanol is a fatty alcohol also known as melissyl alcohol or myricyl alcohol found in plant cuticle waxes, in beeswax, or in alfalfa meal. Triacontanol stimulates faster growth rates in plants by rapidly increasing the number of basal breaks in the plant. It improves plant growth in almost every aspect of the plant, and it helps promote better root growth, increases fruit and flower size, increases quality and yield of fruits and flowers and improves respiration and photosynthetic activity within the plant. Triacontanol is an active ingredient in may flower enhancement products.

Some products that contain triacontanol are Super Thrive, GreenPlanet Nutrient’s Massive and W-8, Canna’s Boost and Bio-Boost, Advanced Nutrient’s Nirvana and Iguana Juice, as well as Down to Earth’s Alfalfa Meal. Alfalfa meal and can be directly amended to your soil or brewed as a tea. If you want to make an alfalfa tea, use two cups of alfalfa meal to 2.5 gallons of water. Steep the alfalfa meal for 2 to 3 days and water in with your nutrients or add it to your other biological and fungal teas. Alfalfa tea and triacontanol in general is more effective used as a foliar spray. While it can be watered in to the root system, you get a lot more miles using it as a foliar application.

Things to consider when using any nutrient — don’t overdo it. You may be thinking, “I want to use as much of this stuff as possible”, but too much of anything is a bad thing. When using products that contain triacontanol, use the recommended dosage and trust that the company knows their product and dosage rate. Step up your gardening game with tricantonal products and see the results!

The nitrogen content is there, but it's very slow to release it all. I wouldn't rely on that as your main N source...

It can't be a lot though cause the triacontanol is what makes them expensive. The article I read said something like a hundred thousand euros per kilo or something [can't find citation]. ST is expensive, but not that much.
