Figured id add a little to whats happening now.
Currently i am feeding strictly rain water and Tiger Bloom, waters pH is at 6.0 still with feeding water as well as the run off.
As far as how the medium is holding up, it is good. Yesterday the photo period plant i had in veg showed signs of male preflowers, it was removed and disposed of. One thing i would like to mention about him was, that he was in a one gallon planter had nine tops and all tops were above 13in. After pulling him out of the planter i was pleased to see that this 2 month old plant was not root bound at all. No circular patters of roots, middle, top, or bottom. The entire medium was consumed buy roots. This shows proper aeration through out the root system. I have always been a firm believer of a healthy root system. If you give them what they need and give them proper aeration they will reward you with healthy foliage and dense buds. I think taking care of the root system is one of the most important roles other than adequate light that are key to a successful grow and yield.
The jems medium is of the same mix, after she is done i will post a pic of her root ball.

The mix that i use is all home made. I use a majority of my own compost and perlite and vermiculite. Combine them and then let them set for about a week before i use. The compost has key ingredients. Trout remains, lettuce, grass, oak leaves, horse and cow manure just to mention a few things that are in there. I also have put about 200 night crawlers in teh compost which just adds to the fertility.

Very nice plant man props. What are your temps in there? The plants look a little heat stressed.

Well-Known Member
not heat stressed at all my friend. Its actually the type of plant, its in her genetic make up. If you look back through the thread i made a post about this and my concerns. Temps are 78 degrees at peak temp. Highest i have ever had in there is 80 and it was because of a fan malfunction....ie no intake plugged in lol

Ok. You know what i'm talking about right? The edges of your leaves pointing up. But you know what you're doing keep it up.

Put a small bowl of vinigar next to your plants. It'll get rid of the gnats in a few days.

this is true, and if you are an outdoor grower and have issues with slugs, do a bowl of beer...keeps them out
