Let me jump on up in here. I've grown every way imaginable, and been doing soil for the last 2+ years. Quite honestly Im bored. I want to go back to hydro, but its just not in the cards right now space wise, or cost wise. I want to go back to flood table, need a bigger tent, etc. Anyways, this little hempy bucket will at least give me a little variety to hold me over! My starter soil is happy frog, which is light nute-wise. The plan is to keep the soil, and set the height right at the top of the perlite res level. The soil should be void of nutes soon enough and Im going to try these CNS17 samples I got. I havent played out the solution mix with my current water situation yet. I am lazy and the plan is to use a level of nutes that puts the PH where I want it. LOL we'll see how that pans out after some testing.
My test subject. A train wreck X fruity chronic.
My nutes. I also have some other supplements I can throw in as needed.
My perlite. Its a little smaller grain than I'd like but at $20 for 4 cu. ft. of it I'll suffer.
And my 1.5g bucket from dollar tree! I'm probably going to only give the plant a week to adjust before putting it to 12/12
I cracked the bucket like a dumbass trying to drill a hole in it, so Im waiting for the glue to dry on that before I put the plant in. Used a soldering iron after that oops. Also since its just a single plant Im not going to mix a small amount of water each time so Im going to make in advance a gallon or 3 of solution, shes gotta sink or swim!
