nice, that oughta pay off in the long run if he starts commercial growing lol. id say "i get 10% cause i helped you get here".View attachment 2098982my buddy told me [this was about a year ago] if i made him a sweet weed growing setup he would hook me up with whatever he grew. So were on his 6th plant he got done curing today tossed me some buds heres a bit of it
haha, well the thing is also when he started he was very low on money. So i said id put half in on it. I got him 2 power strips, 6 adapters with y-splits, 10 23k 6500k, 10 23k 2700k, 2 desk fans, 2 rolls of gorilla tape and two 1 gallon self watering buckets. My pal said he would help with the soil since i still to this day suck at anything medium related lol. So i guess he feels he owes me lol.nice, that oughta pay off in the long run if he starts commercial growing lol. id say "i get 10% cause i helped you get here".
damn, quite an investment there. i wouldnt dare to do that with one of my friends though, they'd kill any plant theyd touch probably.haha, well the thing is also when he started he was very low on money.

nice, i rooted a clone like that a few years back after a few buds told me it couldnt be done on here. worked out very well the transplant didnt stress it too bad either. you might have to water more often with these though, much like coco coir. just always check the bottom holes, perlite crushes very easily with moisture as well so this could be a good test.View attachment 2100689/////////////////////////////View attachment 2100691seed popped out of the only perlite. theres a tad bit of soil around the roots to help it start but like 98% perlite
good idea, ive also been using the "lift" method because the perlite is super lite weight you can tell when its watered.nice, i rooted a clone like that a few years back after a few buds told me it couldnt be done on here. worked out very well the transplant didnt stress it too bad either. you might have to water more often with these though, much like coco coir. just always check the bottom holes, perlite crushes very easily with moisture as well so this could be a good test.
im growing outside right now and had a bit of a pest problem a few weeks ago, i then planted a marigold next to my plants and added the marigold flowers to my foliar feed, along with some diced garlic. zero problems now, she looks happy everyday even after a heavy water or rain. try it, neem oil and all that fancy shit rarely works for me and arent always good for the plant.FOUND A GODDAMN TINY GREEN BUG OUTSIDE GROW. doubt it was a aphid but i sprayed both my babies with soapy water just in case. now a bit worried
if your drainage is bad a good way to add perlite would be to poke holes and fill them with it, great for root aeration as well. also make more holes on the bottoms of your pots if you have any watering problems, should help the moisture wick out faster.I transplanted the bagseed i think that medium i made once again was junk. I'm using sphagnum moss [since ive seen lots of successful grows with it], compost, perlite and egg shell. Its been a hour since i transplanted her and shes not wilting or shriveling up so i think it was a successful transplant
yes good point, i think the mix is like 30% perlite i just felt i needed to replace the medium because i have the proper lighting, been watering 3-4 days, got airflow, temps are 77-78, no nutes yet. The roots didnt look very expanded they looked deep but not with tons of roots coming out kinda like 3 main ones which means the last soil must of been smothering the roots with water eh? i poked holes down as you suggested so idk i think i just blew it on that last batchif your drainage is bad a good way to add perlite would be to poke holes and fill them with it, great for root aeration as well. also make more holes on the bottoms of your pots if you have any watering problems, should help the moisture wick out faster.
