Jon's Outdoor Winter Photoperiod Grow

I leave a good 1-2" lip all around my pots. Gives me a place for the mulch layer and allows for watering from the top without making a mess. I get feeder roots up top under the mulch but I would think the roots you're talking about are mostly the water roots which would be lower anyway.?

It’s exactly the same as any other pot I ever made just an inch shorter. That’s all. Thank you Shed!

Read the whole post Sensei. Pretty clear about being short coco or I wouldn’t have done it. And I highly doubt you or anyone else has as much coco in their 7s as I have in this pot. It’s plenty packed. I’m not splitting hairs over a fold of an inch.

I wasn’t trying to make you feel bad, Sensei! Just saying it IS a mound in the middle that gets lower on the edges, just like you taught me and just like I know to do. But I was short. So rather than have it look like the whole medium got sucked into the pot, lol, I folded it down on the seam. Leaving me with exactly what I always do, just in a shorter (very very slightly) pot. That’s all. Didn’t mean to come off cross if I did.

I thanked Shed when it was your post, sorry @Azimuth. Shed you have one in the bank. :laugh: Thanks Azi. There’s any number of good reasons to do it. Here’s another. This ALWAYS happens when you fill all the way to the very top as I usually do and have displayed. This won’t happen with that folded pot. Could I avoid this with more patience? Probably. But I have a life. Lol.

Poor man’s light proofing

If that's blue painter's tape then that is rich man's light proofing. That shit's expensive!
 
Jon said:
Poor man’s light proofing before the next res change. @Rexer told me to do this a while ago. Lol.

I like to use spray glue & heavy-duty foil. I can still see the depot thru the tape
 
Platinum Mimosa Cookies XXL Auto
ROOTS
Day 47

I may need a bigger res….

47 days to almost root bound the three gallons of coco up top as well as generate an entire 5-gallon bucket full of roots. Guess I gotta go to Home Depot or the Zon or something. We have anywhere from 30-50 days left yet.

Ha! I see that too @Joe Brewster. Tomorrow I’m covering it all with the thick silver duct tape. Ran out, so I tried the blue. Nope. Not one layer anyway. I don’t have any of the thicker blue. Lol. A layer of duct tape will take care of it. Good eye.
 
Where you gonna put the rest of it?
 
Jon said:
Damnit. Now I have to read your KNF/Jadam thing. :laugh:

I thought the thing at the bottom was the one seed per banana. Lol.

Thanks!

I don’t remember any seeds in the bananas but then again I don’t remember eating any when I lived in Fl. CL🍀
