You best take care of yourself and let the folks with better lungs go out and deal with the smoke! You're way too valuable here (and at home I guess
) to be inhaling that shit.

I gave it a gallon over the course of about 2 minutes, waiting for the water to soak in each time before giving it more. Then I waited about 5 minutes and started with the second gallon. It took about 2/3 of that before I got runoff from the overflow hole:
We'll see.
Thanks for hanging around!

It certainly sounds like that's a LOT of dry soil to start off withMini Wednesday update (it's the update that's mini as Wednesday never changes in size...okay fine:Wednesday mini-update, the one where I top-water the yellowing 5 Killer Cookies on flip day 33. These pics are the "before," and I'll try to get the same angles at the same time of day this weekend for comparison's sake.

Mr Shed.
You must be ripped to shiz from carrying those big girls out and in every day.
Im itching for spring to roll up again.

Hi @InTheShed - hey, as you know I’m a total noob when it comes to this style, not yet in the club. But I was wondering (and if this is totally dumb I apologize, it honestly might be, lol)…is there the slightest chance that in the daily hours the buckets are outside, they get hot? Like maybe hot enough to turn some leaves yellow?Mini Wednesday update (it's the update that's mini as Wednesday never changes in size...okay fine:Wednesday mini-update, the one where I top-water the yellowing 5 Killer Cookies on flip day 33.

Thanks Carmen. The top of the soil was dry so I added another 1/3 gallon to the top in addition to the almost-gallon to the res per usual. We'll see!
Will do Keith! Might want to sub here in the meantime in case he drops a link in it to the next journal when he starts.Please hook me up when he starts his journal.
Thanks Otter! Is that a Boston basketball player? Sounds vaguely familiar.
LOL yeah, totally shredded from four 35lb dead-lifts/day.
Can't wait to see what's gonna be shaking at your new place this spring!
Great minds think alike Jon! I mentioned the hot res when I was talking about this plant in the SWICK thread:
I wrapped the res in that insulating bubble wrap I use for the Oval of Brightness® in the shed to see if that makes any difference. I don't think there are any living roots in the soil but time will tell on that. I'm sure the soil gets hot but the outside of the cloth pots get pretty hot as well so who knows.
Pretty sure I’m going to wrap my new outdoor SIP in silver insulation. Read something unrelated to growing about the temperatures liquids can get to in sealed containers left in the sun - I can’t remember what it was about now. 50c or something and that was in a temperate climate. A lid made out of the container lid as well.
Literally nute burn because it comes into the plant too hot? Guess ai’ll be looking at ingestion temperatures for plants or something shortly.
I suppose ice is an option - I wonder how nutes would take to being run through an ice machine?

I’ll need a pallet truck - that’s not the stupidest idea! I have a spare pallet too.Yeah, you probably should have attached it to the pot before up-potting.
To each his own. Some guys like @bluter use simple tomato cages, Shed an industrial hand truck.

If you're suffering from the Canadian fires, well, I apologize on behalf of my countrymen. Most of us are sick over something happening in our country that's hurting people in another. Mortified. We're doing our best out there, but the times they are a changin'. We're terribly, terribly sorry and extremely grateful for the US crews that have been helping us out. I used to be a smoke-eater for two seasons, it's the real deal. We've always deployed to US trouble spots for support and Americans have always done the same. Our countries comprise a family dynamic in amazing ways. Now, we just need to rebuild our military forces from scratch. Hopefully the Conservatives have the stones to run with that in their next platform. I usually vote Liberal (centre-left) but I'm so concerned about our armed forces that I'd vote Conservative (centre-right) for the first time based on that commitment.
Starting to think seriously about selling out, buying a 60ft. world cruiser sailboat, and fucking off. It's my element and the oceans have extremely low population densities - offering excellent personal security. I know how to look after myself in that world, but this one not so much. The thought of society getting worse greatly troubles me as the state it is in currently is already unsustainable in very real ways, very soon to be painfully felt.
Awesome plants, Shed. SIPs all good still after the one transplant or no?
I feel you RD. I have a friend who has done just that! After Covid she was an emotional wreck. She met a sailor man and now they live on the ocean sailing around Africa mainly, and going ashore when they feel like it, mainly to pubs to sample the local hops sandwiches
and relatively relaxed vibes compared with home.
No it’s Texas fires we are spread out all the way to Quebec. We do not mind helping as I’m old (copd) ,but I was raised to never back down from helping our fellow people no matter where you live .
And thank you for your help when we need it .

Saturday and it's too hot (for me but maybe not for you, or maybe it's even hotter where you are but not too hot for you, or maybe it's cooler but still too hot for you) to do much outside mid-day, so here are some pics of the 5 Killer Cookies.
After wrapping the res in insulation and top feeding (which doesn't seem to be taken up by any roots) this is the plant today vs. Wednesday:
So I removed most of the yellow:
Here is the reference pic after the dead and dying fans were stripped:
I watered it with a new blend that's 172-35-188 with Ca: 104, Mg: 73, and S: 37. I made this with just three ingredients:vinegar, peppers, and salt MC, magnesium nitrate, and Blue Planet Calmag (8-0-0). For reference, PB recommends 131ppm of N, and my last batch was 161ppm N with PB + added nitrogen.
My goal is to see how much nitrogen it will take to get the leaves to change color. We'll see!
I hope your weekend is going well and you're staying cool (or warm for those whose toilet water flows the other way).

As long you're asking, here is Grandpa's Moonshine doing alright on flip day 5, and about a month after replant from SIP to cloth bag:

Not sure if that bubble wrap will make a difference (I can't really measure res temp) but it was probably worth the 5 minutes it took.
I wonder how happy the roots would be with ice water in there!
Thanks RD!
Very nice of you to feel responsible for the smoke down here!
I had a quick look around and DWC seemed like a place to start. Tepid, room temp 24-25c but there wasn’t loads of stuff first pass on “why” dowsnmI wonder how happy the roots would be with ice water in there!
hurt uptake or whatever. I had a look at small fish tank water chillers but seemed a bit much. Especially as I haven't got definitive on how/why its bad to be higher (yet)
Nick
Room temp 25c /77f great temp. Water temp about 23c/73f , I run 23c because I believe my girls grow faster . I’ll PM you for the rest of what I do .
NIce to see your Grandpa's Moonshine made a full recovery!
Been watching your temps Shed and @West Hippie and everyone South! Cooler times are a coming!

Weather is showing Texas two more weeks of 107 . Really doesn’t feel bad rh has been staying at27% . I’m sitting under my pavilion on the river ,well with ceiling fan overhead . I need the fresh air plus there generating hydro electric, must be running both generators cause the river is way up and that makes it feel cooler.
