Here bro, maybe this will load better, my pics are huge mb size for some reason, I dunno how to make them smaller when I take a pic so here's a screen shot of the pic
Thanks doc! I'd go with soil if I were you, might as well, don't fix it if it ain't broken!! And you kick ass on soil! Promix is good, but I'm teetering on weather to transplant into promix at the moment too, but I'd much rather a water only. I look at it like this, if it looks like dirt, do it organic. If not, full hydro. But that's just me
I love organic and that's how I used to grow, I've done everything in between, and Hydro is my life indoor, but I started as an outdoor grower, so I miss it and want my mama's back in organics. You can not beat water only seriously. Why make things difficult with promix? Hope I talked you back into soil

the thing with me having a greenhouse and running year round outdoor soil would keep shit constant too. @papapayne was talking about it just the other day.Here bro, maybe this will load better, my pics are huge mb size for some reason, I dunno how to make them smaller when I take a pic so here's a screen shot of the pic

For sure man, if you're going to do a year round green house, then soil is the key 100%. Shit, do raised beds. That's what I'd do, raised beds, no til, pull and plant, keep it rolling smoothly, have a yard of super soil made up for top dressings, easy peasy! If you have a water spicket out by the green house set up some drip rings, automatic garden, you just harvest.

ya, now that I have the space I'm swapping back into soil/compost teas/cover crops true living organics style. once I have rabbits running, geese manure, chicken manure, and my own compost it makes no sense to run coco in my mind. I am missing the taste to from organics.

For sure payne, it's even better when you have your own animals for ferts, that's how our farm was back east. I don't realize any difference in taste though, I mean outdoor usually comes out a bit different than indoor of the same strain, but I've never done outdoor synthetic to compare, only indoor comparison. What I noticed indoor is the veg is slower, but other than that it's the same at the end, and now a slower veg kind of appeals to me lol, I can't seem to keep up anymore

Oh, Payne, to get the same taste as organics with synthetics, drop out all N the last 2 or 3 weeks, keep p, k, ca, and MG at decent levels though, that'll get ya the same smell/taste, it's the N that gets people's synthetic grows to be complained about by the organic growers lol, it's easy to fix though, you want green leaves up top and yellow at the bottom

Little blt bud I sampled last night, finally an indica that makes me pass out! Keeping it all for head stash since I tossed the mama. Good bud though, what a bitch to trim! Ain't nobody got time fo Dat! Lol
Glue at 6 weeks, I'm chopping at 8, I'm starting to think now that the yellowing is an internal disease.i got looking closely and some branches of the same plant are perfectly healthy and green, while being on a massively yellow plant. It's gotta be inside the plant so I'm cutting it short and chopping in 2 weeks and putting in another batch.
The last of the 4x4 tray, 5 Headbanger #1. Letting these go another 10 days then chopping at 10 full weeks.

Either the smart pots not doing its job, or I just grow more root system than a smart pot can handle. They might have to make alpha smart pots for me. #growstrongplants #culltherunts
Good day.
Oh yeah, some buds.
The good news. The ol lady gave me the go ahead to upgrade some things late summer/early fall, so I'll be getting the gear soon and starting the setup to have it ready to flip the switch when needed

Here's a good read. It touches on organic and Hydro.

Next stop, organic passive hydro! That's the only thing I haven't tried, coco and and organic hydro, it could be the icing on the buds, who knows. I think I already have the nutes from some samples I was sent, this will be a fun experiment

Right on, this is only the 2nd time I've used then, but usually I just seen root tips but this root was 4" long with feeder roots growing out the side, it tripped me out lol, first time I've seen a massive root busting through but there's a first for everything
