@Tstat how's your first run going?

I was just thinking that I needed to come on here and show you guys what I'm doing, lol. I'll take pics later, but I do have 6 going right now and I just bought 5 more! Three of those will be for veggies and herbs on the deck and the other 2 are heading down for another round. So far so good, I'll post more later this weekend :)

OK, so here are some pics!

This is 4 SIPs, they are SSDD, Space Monkey, and a Lemon Lotus. Been in the flowering room about a week:

These are the other two, they are in the veg room for now. I just transplanted them into the SIPs yesterday. One is a bit yellow, but will certainly look awesome in a day or two:

These are the 4 I planted first in 10 gallon pots. Once they are out I am going to be rotating 8 SIPs in and out every few weeks!

Anyone running The Soil King Big Rootz? If so how much aeration did you add (percentage or parts wise)? I am planning to use GrowStone GS-2 for the aerator in addition to the pumice and perlite already in it. Hopefully the grow stones dont mess with my PH like I have read about in Hydro reviews.


Thanks

Just figured I'd drop a Sunday Funday update! Here are the outside plants. One Bag Of Oranges has joined the veggies:

And...here are the indoor girls. About 3 weeks in and just blowing up:

And finally, these 4 girls will go in soon. I am close to harvest on the four potted plants.


And just a reminder, I came from the deep hydro side of things. I was very skeptical of growing with this method. But if you are thinking of doing it, I'd say they work tremendously. Growth is fast and lush, and the smell is greater than with hydro. I'm looking forward to the finished product :)

@Tstat are you making any amendments or is it just plain water and plain sailing for you?

Multi-strain grows with no maintenance sound so good..

So, I start with Greentree Ultimate potting mix. It’s a nice mix that I get locally. It has everything in it to grow from start to finish., according to the grow store guys. I add some Happy Frog, perlite, bone meal, and lime. I mix it all up good and then add two plants per sip. I then sprinkle GroKashi on top. After a couple of days the GroKashi spreads out and I add a layer of lobster compost on top.

That’s it. I just add water. But keep in mind, I haven’t gone the distance with these yet.
