Well i ate that third cookie lastnight and passed out lol! Three is too many. i ate a half of one and went to go mow the lawn.. just got finished and am feeling good. Good thing it didnt take me too long lol.
Update on the ladies and they arent doing the best.. the ib's inner growth is growing and looking good still but the bottom leaves are dying so i cut them. The vk's leaves are sort of changing color.. to like a sickly green, not sure whats up with that. I cut her dying bottom leaves as well. Hopefully once i water again they will be doing better.
Also if you want to recharge your boveda packs, put them in a closed container with water and the pack sitting on something NOT touching the water.. i read you arent supposed to get it wet it can ruin it. Mine was completely dry and i left it in there for two days maybe and it was like brand new. Pretty neat little trick, not sure how many times you can or should do this. Maybe for two years which the package states it can keep them fresh inside the pack for that time after opening it.
The ib, i cut those gross looking leaves off they were getting worse.
The vk, droopy and the top leaves look normal while the bottom leaves are that sickly green color.
See the difference?

They were probably just testing in the dirt during lights out sucking up nutes.

Yea we will see what they do i wont feed any extra nutes for now just incase.. except the mammoth-p. Next time they will get plain water though.

That is why I could not grow in dirt. Too much back and forth. Use nutes then plain water only water when it's dry but not too dry. Seems like a lot of work. I feed everyday get a little run off. It's good to go. I do burn through nutes and water.

I feed like once a week haha. idk i like the slow pace of soil but i do want to try coco at some point. Just not right now lol

Play your strengths. Judging by your first run you have firm grasp on soil. I was always worried about overwatering so coco seemed like a good fit.

It works well for you it seems! Ill stick to soil, it would drive me nuts having to water every day lol

It is kind of a chore. And now I'm having to water a bit in the morning as well. Gonna build a top down drip feed system before I flip. That way it will eliminate the time watering.

Yea im sure.. thats a great idea man, cant wait to see it in action!
Not sure what threads youre reading but Boom in the red cup (link in sig) is using an IV drip system. He got the whole rig on the zon for cheap.

I was looking at the exact same thing I believe. Already bought a flexi tank online. At least that way I can mix up more than 40l at a time. I have a pond pump in there keeping it moving but it could easily do a 50gal flexitank. Just not sure how much DIY I have left in me right now. After building the new room and getting it all soaked in I only have about 20 days to build the veg room. So we will see what I have time for. Would save me a ton of time spent watering though. I saw a cheap way to build one from LEDRF.
What is cal mag dose at toasted and sorry what is ur medium again bud

when you get your drip setup, I would love to see it. I need some more ideas..lol
Thanks Agemon, The IV works ok, but I find the dial clogging. it doesn't drip so fast anymore,, lmao. I am gonna experiment with removing that regulator dial, and play with the blue roller thing to regulate the flow,, I think the nute solution is way too high PPM for the dial thing to work correctly..
Just got all caught up, you've done very well with soil why change now lol, I can't wait to see that IB all growed up!

We will have to see what I have time for but always feel like if you are going to do it may as well go all the way. If I get one up and running I sure will let you know. LEDRF on here or growpotcheaply on YouTube has a pretty nice drip feed system set up probably using most of the stuff you already have.

Havent been giving calmag just only once with a feeding a few weeks ago.. the jobes fast start and epsom salt should have all the calmag they need for a bit. Which is whats in the soil along with 60% ocean forest 25% happy frog and 15% perlite.. one and one-half tablespoon per 3 gal pot of even parts of the jobes fast start and epsom salt mixed together. Thanks growchy the ib will be big and bushy i predict.. we will see come stretch time when i flip them lol
Duh I read that back I'm slow not stupid I swear .
I read it a couple times too. I think Toast was toasted when he was toasting the soil info from, was it Grouchy? It actually made more sense when i read it high!
