Can't upload pictures; wtf! I'll try again later today.

The soil mix is working well, the ladies are certainly enjoying it. I've super cropped a couple times so far.

I bought some nice stackable totes for storing next rounds soil inside. Drilled holes in it for air. Because I reuse soil, I broke down the old root balls and got as much of the roots out as possible. Mixed in Espoma garden tone and wet it all down with compost tea. I'll let it cook for a month or so.

Plants are doing well. I did accidentally catch one with the vacuum cleaner...

I have to spray down the leaves on the plants every day because the humidity is LOW, so if anyone has an easy recipe for foliar feeding or over all plant health post it!

your plants look pretty good, (maybe a teensy bit light green) one thing I noticed is that you don't seem to have a lot of aeration, if you re-use the soil I would recommend using some biochar as well as volcanic rock (either pumice or the red stuff), also it's really cheap and a super good idea for reusing soil to amend with slow release nutrients, greensand, fish bone meal, neem meal, kelp meal, crab meal, and i'd also add some oyster shell dust and shells to help counter the acidifying effects of the peat in your promix.
looks good though, it took me about three mixes to dial in my organic soil the way I like it, and i'm still tweaking it every now and then.
My "must haves" are my ecoplus pump, neem meal, crab meal, insect meal, kelp meal, a good mychorrizhae (xtreme mycos) and biochar.
Oh, and some mentioned blood meal, personally I advise against that, it's easy to overdue it, messy and stinky. It'll work, but I don't like it

Thanks for the input. The girls are actually pretty dark green. I think the MH throws off the color in the pictures? I'll have to look up biochar. Never used it.

Greasemonkeymann I'm thinking you're right about the biggest plant, Five-O is lighter colored than I like. I've got fish hydrolyslate that I'll water in next time.
