Yeah I made Ukrainian themed gold ingots to raise them up a bit 🤣 Because @InTheShed dared me to!

🤣
 
How many litres of coco peat in boxes in the second photo?

Put a splash of it out of a 5L bag. It arrives not damp but a little moist. Maybe just humidity.

Its really fine. Coco Coir is really lumpy and rougher - you ever see those wood chips around kids playgrounds? Soft to fall on’ish and organic? Coir is like that here. The coco peat has a bit more of the wetter white fruit bit of the coconut it in it. Very silky to the touch.

The supplier seems to have added a sticker and some branding! Suspect business is good. I pay probably 8x what coco coir costs from the nursery 10” yards away for coco coir. But they promise its cooked and clean snd delivery is within 2 days. I have 600 litres total on-hand now

(420L in the photo obvs)


It looks perfectly ground.
It has some perlite too. :thumb:

Yeah edited in a bit more about it in that last post. We basically layer like Bill Method but slightly diff mix - we add in extra perlite
 
Jeez. I sense a repot to solos is if not tonight then def tomorrow.
We're assuming those will be color coordinated as well? :)

This grow they’ll go into clear solos with holes in the side and slits in the bottom surrounded by a red solo with a slit in the bottom. Layered perlite and coco.
Sounds like we'll be disappointed.. :confused:
 
Seriously - I have grey solo cup envy from
@Bill284 - seriously how classy are they?

They just shout - I’ve been doing this for a while, I am technically proficient and look smart while I’m doing it in my new facility.

😅

Me gonna be slumming with red frat party style red solos.

The shame

😅

Seriously?

I mean it was 10 minutes and $5 but I have 60 Blue Solo Cups being delivered on Tuesday.

Why @Azimuth ? 🤣 I want to just humbly grow my ladies. You with your colour coordination tests! See second pair of photos.

First two are blue lights. Sparky a bit annoyed. Turns out the illuminated ones only ones that work with out prwssing and holding but now he can’t make the lights work and I had to show him how to rig a frame to hold the solenoid/actuator which annoyed him. He’s also mad keen for the cold bottle of suds and big blunt that awaits him illuminating my buttons 😆

First two pictures.

Hey. You started it with your fancy blue buttons and then that made up story about how it wasn't a fashion thing but something else. I don't remember what you claimed it was because I recognized instantly that whatever you said wasn't the real reason.

So yeah, you raised the bar and now we are going to hold you to your new standard.

Sorry, but them's the rules.

And we expect pictures as proof of compliance.

:)

So

A)

You’re saying that this is a situation of my own making? My own design as it were?

B)

You’re reserving the right to set the rules from this point in?

Conclusion

I need to raise the bar with photos to prove it?

Agreed?

Now I'm not sure.

Under the "be careful what you wish for" banner I'm now concerned you're going to make the rest of us look like we're slumming it.

I think we'll need to let the rest of the board weigh in before we get too far a field. :oops:

You are rather fond of the color blue aren’t you? lol CL🍀

I will respectfully follow the wishes of the board advisory body and follow any guidance provided by them, with particular attention paid to the advice of the SIP Community for whom Nick & Co have the utmost respect.

And dude! Its all just fun. I may have had a smile on my face when there was talk of bar raising! There is no slumming it, it is all equally rewarding - something inherent in it, that humans just enjoy growing stuff. Doesn’t matter too much more than that. That I can nerd out as a techy with blue lights, no joke. I enjoy that 😅 But the grow and creation stuff the bit I love the most!
 
So I talk about Lazada quite a bit. Its like Off Brand Amazon really. What every little thingummymajig you need it has. Mostly
Made in China and cheap as. The below is what I have on order. Total cost about $50.

40 metres of Netafim irrigation pipe - Netafim make the watering collars and normal irrigation pipe doesn’t quite fit so it will clear up a little leakage.

60 Blue Solo Cups (Its your birthday Azi!)

30 3 Gallon Fabric pots.

$50 seems pretty good pricing to me all delivered in generally 2-3 days. Can pay card or cash on the door. Generally if I’m not absolutely certain its exactly what I want - listing is all in Thai, for example - I pay COD. Repeat customer like with the Coco Peat - pay card. if its not right I just don’t accept it at the door. There are some scams out there with misrepresentation but mostly its awesome.

Meh. Still 21/24.

I shored up a couple of the tall poppies with some judicious rolling of grow medium. A couple of tooth picks.

They got air and light and moisture. The errant three I rolled a little medium away to expose them a bit more - they weren’t uniform tap roots. Maybe these were already just a little slower? No drama. Just stressed about the little babies.

And when the blue solos arrive and will they be in time. That too 😂

 
Meh same/same 21/24.

Others looking in varying degrees of health. Its 21 that’s fine.

But think up pot and light in 24 hours max.

Maybe shift the taller ones up a bit in height.

Not too tall yet.

Hope everything is going well today.
