Looking good in there! Can't wait until my grow area doesn't have to be so stealthy...love the speakers.Repotting day for Amherst Sour Diesel and AK47
I decided to repot the two largest girls, Amherst Sour Diesel and AK47.
AK47, got the first pot, a 10 gal Geopot.
AK47 has yellowing leaves which started after I accidentlly splattered most of the foliar feed for 4 plants on just her in big drops of water.
Maybe she's just hungrier.
I scratched and tore the rootball a bit with my fingers - then sprinkled Roots! on the roots and soil beneath
then backfilling and immersing the pot in Transplant water (15ml per 3 gallons.)
AK47 drank about 3 gallons in 30 minutes.
Amherst Sour Diesel went into a 7 gallon Geopot. I didn't plan for her to get a smaller pot, she just did. She drank about 3.5 gallons.
Buddha's Gift w/ladybug. I am planning to repot her soon, but I need to make some space choices with the non-420 pots
Veg area before
Veg Area after
Here you can see the different heights under the one lamp.
For now, I manage the heights difference by tilting the light. I can't tilt the light effectively when I transplant the next two girls.
I'll need to manage heights another way
Since I am spending most of my time in the veg stall, I also hung a couple of satellite speakers.
In my little world I keep things simple.
The veg tent has a piece of wood (1x6) sitting on top of 2 paint cans. It forms a shelf along the side that I put smaller plants on. It's also right next to some LED side lighting.
The bloom room is simpler... just the old paint cans as plant stands.
Find some simple shelving of some sort and put the plants up higher.
I have plants at various stages. This gives me some challenges when trying to keep an even canopy but I've got a nice even canopy from a touch of jackleg engineering.... it sure doesn't need to be fancy.
note 1x6 along right side... a little left over from a deck construction project.
Hey there Rad - Happy new years... got a good chuckle on the Xmas R-R-R Rum Party... yeah that would have been perfect if the game was the Pirates of the Caribbean version. We actually watched one of those movies I think the first or 2nd one on Xmas day...
Rrrrrr pass me the rum matey.
I think your transplant timing was perfect. It gets difficult to transplant the larger the plant, when the roots are holding all of the soil together it's much easier on the plant and you. Your girls won't even skip a beat.
I saw that you are sprinkling mycos on the root ball.. which version are you using??
I use VAM and Great White.... I read a lot about all the different versions and actually think the Great White works well... I've had plants/clones with the VAM get overwhelmed and die on me... then others do very well.... and read the Great White was over priced blah blah.. Oh maybe you have something from Doc ... ?
I've got a large grouping of seedlings going now.. next transplant I'm going to mark the pots with which Mycos I used and see if I get a pattern emerge.
Anyways... garden looks green and healthy... many wishes for a bountiful harvest and good health to you and yours in the new year!
Cheers matey!
Borderliner Transplant Day
Borderliner had nice green tops,
and yellowing undergrowth.
I cleared leaves below the canopy
Borderliner looks happy now
I vertically cut the the roots on 3 sides, sprinkled a generous amount of Doc Bud Roots!, and watered in the moist soil with 1/2 gal of water and 1ml of Doc Buds transplant.
Tangerine Widow (seed #2) had not yet broken the soil surface - and then I dumped T2's pot when I was positioning Borderliner under the lights in her new 10 gallon pot. Tangerine Widow is having a rough time getting started.
Radogast,
Just out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to have "roots" in a Slavic ancestory, would you?

.... my kinda gardening.
Garden Update
It seems like not much changes in the garden, but I've clicked the lights upwards 3-4 times in the last week, so I know they are growing
When I opened the door to the garden, I had a pretty surprise, a non-420 flower in the center! (It's purple, but the lights are purplish, so it looks pink.)
The older end of the veg area.
AK47 is tallest at about 20". I'm thinking 6" more before she is ready to flower.
Amherst Sour Diesel is second at 18". I'll probably wait for this one before any girl goes into flower.
16" Bubba's Gift is growing oddly shaped, like a young deers antlers, but I think I'm going to stick with the antlers shape.
14" Borderliner is just going to be shorter for awhile. She regrew her lower growth - as did AK47 and Sour Diesel.
One of the two newest seedlings, Ace Mix, looks OK. Is she old enough to get a Brix foliar and food?
Seedling Lily, has lots of curl/clawing. I expect she'll grow out of it.
The Temp and humidity has been very stable. Lights are 18 hours on, 6 off.
I placed another, 3rd Tangerine Widow seed in the same pot tonight. She is a reg seed. I'd like to grow one more plant, so I'll start another Tangerine Widow in water.
