Thanks Bill284!

It's only 1 night, then back to min 60+ for the next few weeks. Do you think we should just move to California?

Wow, they're looking awesome med!!

Thanks TassieTurtleman!

The plants it!

I had such a nice picture of you in my mind and you done screwed that up!
Now I envision you on your deck, jumping up and down in your underwear!

Gonna take atleast a week to get THAT picture out of my head!

Little do you all know I'm a cat

Still vegging 18/6 @ 15in @ 50%. I had lowered her to 15in to see if the extra energy would increase growth at night? It seems to have slowed her down, so I am lowering to 25% to promote stretch.

Here she is after bending stuff over. I misplaced my wire spool, so I just improvise!

 

[MedScientist]

So, as I sat here smoking a dispensary Doobie, and reviewing my pics, I thought...

Getting rid of the energy suckers would give energy to the competing branches? So I clipped all the fans and connected nodes that were eliminated in this round of the competition!

Lights On, and everyone is standing at attention! I probably should have mentioned Competition earlier!

I see 6 strong Contenders, and 4 potential candidates.

Woohoo!

 

[MedScientist]

Temps only got down to 48F. No Harm done!

Looks like the flowers threw on some extra coverage?

OK, but I don't want to wait until your Jars are empty! Could be Years after this Harvest!

Woohoo!

It sounds SO much better when YOU say it!

Nice cleanup on the clone...way to show it who's boss! And with such pretty plants in that greenhouse I hope the nights stay reasonable for another month for ya.

Here's my buddy Angus!! Maybe they could be friends!! Happy Monday!!

I just it when you visit!

Since Turface looks like Kitty Litter, they can play outside with my 2 Cats. They could take them in the woods and teach them to hunt!

My cats a pot head don't know if she would play much. She eats the water leafs I bring in.

 

[StarkRaven]

Haha sorry medscientist... your whole journal is gonna be pictures of our cats.

WooHoo!

i have been wanting to start a Journal for my summer outdoor tent grow. I have recently posted stuff about my growing style and decided to just cut and past it here, cause i am Lazy!

I plan to talk about their journey to this point, as of today, 7-02-2024, they are 126 days old. Then continue from here, forward!

________________________________

WooHoo!

I have grown in soil, coco, perlite, and all forms of Hydro. It seems there is a learning curve to each form of medium. I am Absolutely convinced that using Turface MVP is by far the Best, cheapest, and easiest medium to use, along with a ph stable, all inclusive nute program like Jacks Hydroponics and Calcium Nitrate made specifically for Cannabis. I run it with H202 added which keeps the roots healthy and kills bugs that try to invade the medium.

Turface does not interact with the nutes, it is just rocks. If you run a recirculating feed system with microfiber wicks, you don't have to worry about overwatering. You can run the same res for every stage of growth. For about $100, you could feed your entire garden for YEARS, and wash the Turface after each harvest and use indefinitely!

I don't run bubblers in the res, the top feed pulls fresh o2 to the root zone with each feeding. Your only job is to reset the res to proper ph and ppm as needed. NO res changes needed!

The only Downside to going this route is EXPLOSIVE GROWTH! So you will need to stay on top of Training and Defoliation.

This year's Outdoor tent, I decided to strip my system and run as a Swick only. It is a bit more work checking each sites res but so far no problems, just top off res by pouring through medium.

You Could achieve this type of Growth with other Hydro Systems, but it would require alot more work!
_________________

Hi, my name is MedScientist, and I have been a closet Swicker for a while now! Although, in the closet, I run a recirculating, top feed system, and use the microfiber wicks to primarily pull the PWT out of the buckets, so I can top feed every couple hours for Explosive growth!

Last year, or so, with recreational laws allowing outdoor grows, I bought a tent and tried soil. To ME, soil just complicates things, and the results were just OK? So this year, I modified by bucket system so each site has its own reservoir, removed the top feed and Master res, lengthened my wicks, and stuck with Turface as my medium, in 1 gal fiber grow bags, in a bucket, in a bucket, in a bucket!

I am still working out some kinks... reducing air gap, adding additional wicks, and manually drawing from the res to top water daily, to keep up with demand!
_____________________

I could have just used the grow bag over a res bucket, like many do, but by putting it in the red bucket, it adds stability, and gives me something to tie to. As my plants tend to get Large.

I added the grow bags, instead of just using the red bucket for medium because... I don't need all the extra medium, and it will give a little flexibility to the root zone space. I usually use 1/2 gallon plastic containers, but the root zone gets pretty tight, restricting flow after 8/9 weeks veg and 8/9 weeks 12/12.

I use a 2 gallon bucket with many holes, inserted into 4 or 5 gallon bucket to separate medium from the Res, Instead of using risers. (the white buckets)

My Simple SWICK for Seeds and Clones...
Not sure how well it would work for soil?

Enjoy the Show!

i see you have a journal with the Turface going sweet this i need to see i'll catch up, did you get the Turface from a store or borrowed on a none returnable basis from a baseball field ? Lol!
