OK, since I am again being lazy, I am shopping coco coir stuff.

Do you guys buy the bricks? Seems a little pricy. Do you re-use it?

Harris Coconut Coir Pith, 4 Bricks Expand to 9 Gallons of Coir to Promote Healthy Root Growth and Soil - Walmart.com

Buy Harris Coconut Coir Pith, 4 Bricks Expand to 9 Gallons of Coir to Promote Healthy Root Growth and Soil at Walmart.com

So if i downsize to 2 gallon pots, roughly 1 brick per pot. Will cost me about $50 for 8 plants.

Any better brand coco to buy?

OMG I tried it once! You have to buffer it to set the CEC (cation exchange capacity) then you have to add nutrients to a base level and constantly water with no lower than say 250-300 PPM (.25 ec) to maintain your CEC. Plus it itches and feels like I'm stuffing a pot like an Easter Basket, never again.

I use the same Canna Coco @Laughing Grass uses cut about 30-50% with xlg perlite and it's fabulous and not picky.

PS you can reuse it and I have but I use it as top dressing in my outdoor gardens.

... Last year I stopped hiding what we were doing from the neighbors. They can smell it, they know ...

I am pretty fortunate that none of my neighbors seem to care that I smoke. I stand a good distance away from my place ( Mrs. Starecase isn't a fan of the scent ) and I know that the smell of my stuff travels at least three properties away but they don't care. And one of them partakes occasionally.

While Mrs. Starecase is not a fan of that weed smell, she has become a big fan of tinctures/infused booze. I attempted one infusion with 80 proof rum but she only gets the buzz when she adds 2 to 3 tsp. of the rum to the mix.

I don't have enough cured bud right now but when I do, there's 1L bottle of Everclear ready to be infused. 10 grams in one 250 ml. cup of 190 proof stuff otta do it.

I remember you talking a bout dragging the huge bag inside :lol:

You have been killing it with shorter veg times, so maybe I have been going about this wrong with longer ones!! 2 gallons seems so small, but I see it. Actually I have some in 3 gallon bags right now that are quite large in veg, waiting to go outdoors so I can see 2-3 gallons being big enough.

I am all about working smarter, not harder, and electricity is not cheap here!!

I was searching for your grow journal but couldn't find it.

I have to remember this is a whole different game, and I don't need 10 g bags to supply nutes.

The bigger bags did make a difference on yield with soil. I switched from 10 g to 7 g and my yield reduced proportionately. :(

OK, time for a trip to the garden store....I need to do something more today!

I was lazy and didn't finish my journal. :oops:

I did end up with some fantastic smoke from Annie's GG#4... it's the one on the left. I'll start a new journal with the clones once I get the new room fired up next week.

Dutch Passion Critical Orange Punch

These are just over five weeks old. I don't usually bother taking pics of seedlings. Growing in coco/perlite with GH Flora, still feeding them pretty lightly. I have done a little cleaning at the bottom so the carrots aren't crowded and I can see that they're working. I'm planning on...
