Checked out the links under yer posts...I see whatcha talkin' about...nicceee dudee..you got more goin' on in some of those photos than a bootlegger back in the hills a ken-tuck...lol..damn
you ever re-use that soil? You must go through a lot of it..and those fabric airation pots have to be half the price of the air pots I scored...different though I think...I'll letcha know how I like em'..next grow I plan on getting a few like yours cause I can't afford many more of the ones I have..I did also score 5 -1 liter ones for seedlings the little ones were cheap enough and the dude combined shipping costs
and Jack
Didn't think there'd be much of a difference in strips but OK..when I'm at the Po' in a day or two again I'll pick up the 4 pack I noticed..cheap enough insurance I reckon,,'specially along with Dr. Pye's Beneficial Nematodes.....
thanks

OK...so all my orders came in today...Got home from work and as tired as I was I took my plants outside so I could do a Sledgehammer flush which they needed BAD! I added the Mycorra but the Beneficial Nematodes I don't understand totally...there's like 3-4 different directions for different applications. Seems you have to mix up the entire container?...for 4- 5 gallon pots??
Is it the directions for SOLID MIXTURE"(Prepare before topdressing application or plants and seeding) or the directions that's titled "Suspension" or for "Directions to kill Fire ant colonies". I'm guessing to rule out the fire ant kill.
I'm guessing it's the first one?..where it says add one cup of cold water to the container and let sit for 30 minutes at around 68deg F.
then it says to moisten 5 qts of peat moss, vermiculite or sandy humas with 2 qts of water..then add contents of Scanmaster container and rinse container w/ 1/2 cup of water and mix till distributed evenly
I dunno...anyone do this before? I have 4-5 gallon airpots to do ...seems complicated..unless you've done it before..

you can mix with a gallon of ph'd water and wait 15 min's and pour it in each container about a quart per... just a hand full in the water....then put in fridge will keep long time..use when plant's small and the nematode's will grow and reproduce and keep the soil free of bug's in the soil! or just put a hand full (partial in the top of each pot and water normally!! jack

So I'm in the evening of my 8th night in 12/12.
My four girls are now about 36" tall and over 24" wide each. Almost too big for the width of my room. Perfect really but there's no way for me to get to the back of my room without moving a plant or two which is no biggie being I turn each plant at least every other day a 1/3 turn(ish).
I can't believe how much I've learned over these past 9-10 weeks.
I let them go exactly two months to the day in veg state leaving the lights on 24 hours. Can't say that hurt them but I have a feeling it might have been over-kill. Not sure, but like I said..didn't hurt..mighta been a good thing. Hard to know. Nothing to compare it to..yet.
Been using a small humidifier in the veg state trying to keep the room up to about 65-+ RO on average
The flower stage is harder to deal with. I have my dehumidifier on 24/7 and it never shuts off set at 40% RO.Seems to average on my hydrometer at around 45-50+- % unless I run the dehumidifier on a higher speed which dries things out too fast..ugh The hassle is it dries out my soil pretty fast. I seem to have been watering them every day now. They are in "air-pots" so that has them drying out faster than normal in of themselves but I think these pots are really good...I think. again..nothing to compare it to...yet.
Been following FF nute schedule almost to the T with good results. If anything I lean on the lighter side in how much I use but pretty close to what they call for. I'm using the 3 liquids and the three powder solubles. The powder solubles I should have a long time...being you use so little.
The air temps are now hovering over 85deg unless I keep the door partially which I do during the day and that gets it down to around 80ish.
The cool tube is now about only a foot over the tops of my girls....not bad, huh!? If it gets hotter than 88-90 I'll have to take them off the milk crates they're on and put em on the floor and lower the light a hair...so I'm just over a foot above em again..12"-16"ish..
Water has been 100% rain water I've been collecting in spackle buckets I strain through two layers of vinyl screening I keep next to em'. I don't even think thats necessary but can't hurt. So far it's been awesome so...
The flowering is amazing now!!! I have a gazillion flowers coming up all over the place!! I even came up with the idea of twisting up some wire and bending a reverse hook onto each end to stretch between close branches to push em' apart letting more light in. Great idea...thank you...lol.....I'm using the USHIOs HiLUX GRO bulb (600Watts) $70+- on Amazon...97,000 Lumens!!! Fucking awesome!!Great seller too!Sent out the first bulb stupidly in a bag with one wrap of bubble wrap around it..totally smashed. Contacted him right away and he sent another out in a box the way it should have come in the first place First Class so it was at my door in a few days. I'll keep using him. We had good communication.
What else...Oh yeh...the Beneficial Nematodes I was sent the dude sent out in 95 deg heat...no ice packs..Doubted they were alive. Contacted him and he credited my acct no more questions asked and said I should try it anyway which I did but no way were they alive b/c I have quite a few gnats around my airpots but I'm hanging lots of fly paper which seem to do the trick pretty well. Cheap enough..easy enough. Been hanging them off the light on wire with a heavy washer at the end to hold em' down from the wind from my fan. I'm using wire all over the place...Awesome idea! I hang my hydrometer at the top of my plant height with it from my light hood. the price on Amazon seems to be going up and down on that hydrometer from about $15-$22. Might need to snag a cpl more if I see it go back down to $15ish.
I also think the Mycorr worked pretty well too..I'd always use that...I have plenty left..
Well thats about it for now on my four girls. Next is how to stake the buds up once the heft starts..it's getting kinda crowded in there
'bout 7-8 weeks in veg mode (photos w/lights on)-->
'bout 3 daze into 12/12(photo w/lights off)-->
'bout 8 daze into 12/12 (lights off)-->
plants are about 36" tall now
and super lush
Better not get too much bigger. I figure they still grow for another week or two...heights no biggie but the width???gulp!
MUCHO thanks for everyonez help here. Great community of gardeners!!
