I'm back to vert... But with a few questions/problems!

i'm pretty darn happy with it. i had a pretty big stoner error with the first full run in the five gallons, had lock-out and deficiency issues that cost a good deal of yield and a notch in quality.
i didn't do any edibles before mixing soil this time. the three that are six weeks into flower have just a whisper of a fade starting.
i use the philosophy bruce lee tought for jeet kune do, take what you find useful and discard what you don't.
or maybe i'm being more like bill gates, taking a bunch of good ideas and incorporating them in a unique way.
but i like bruce lee a lot better.
i found a few great deals over time to save money: 300' roll of air hose, big ass bag of tee's, 40 x 4" air stones for $35. and i'm still adding air pumps. i prefer several smaller ones to one big one for the noise factor.

Half way through flower the ladies are doing well.

Just a few updates.

This marks day 59 of 12/12. I plan on taking these strains to 10 weeks or more depending on what they look like under the scope. Feel free to tell me what you all think. A few branches on the plants broke under their own weight. This is my first try at doing an organic grow (No-till).

Plants look great!

You're all organic no till? What do you have planned for fert/ammendments/teas/etc to get through week 10?

Yes all organic no-till. Well I'm actually done now. I just kept doing my normal organic inputs through the whole grow. Coconut water, aloe, and things of that nature.

nice. eventually i'll be doing no till but i'm not sure if i want to do several 30+ gallon bags or if i want to build a box big enough to hold around 200 gallons of soil.
the simplicity of tending to no till is especially attractive to me because i doubt i'll ever stop making grower is a stoner errors and no till would help minimize them.
but for now i'm liking how the 3 gallon cloth bags fit into a 5 gallon bucket with 6 - 8 inches of stone and perlite at the bottom. leaves enough around bag to air prune roots and i run an air stone under the rocks to give oxygen to the roots that grow through the bags bottom.

just make sure the floor will hold 200 gallons of wet dirt and the whole setup could make a big proble

This grow is going much better than the last one. The multiple sources of light and temperature controls helped.

Just stopped in. Looks really good. Nice job.

Thank you.

Here's my own vertical reflector creation that lets all the heat go straight out. It's 5by9 with three 600s. 2 adjustable wings per side.
