On a less serious note, did you notice the redheads have names : )

Cali & Maggie? The whole town knows their names..

I filled the Cookies res.. Hmm it seems that going all soil has changed my reservoir capacity as I think the water channel was calculated as res as that just gets level with the water.. but now only a bit over 2L went in.. I packed the channel pretty tight with soil so there's not as much water that can flow into there.

The Cookies didn't mind the reservoir fill to the top at all, doesn't bat an eye I've also upped the calmag as she has trouble greening in completely, I started the res last week it probably takes a bit before everything releases enough nutrients.
The Sugar Bomb Punch stays droopy long though, then by the morning she perks up and is straight again and then she droops again before light out. Res is now really empty soil is still wet so I'm not gonna fill yet.

See still lighter tints in the leaves.

They droop in the dark as they are resting so that's not much of a concern. The rest is probably wetter soil than she's used to.

The soil itself will absorb the first watering. Doesn't mean she's drinking it though, it's just charging up the soil bank. I think you're right to not fill it too soon.

The wicking action of this Plagron stuff is pretty wild, well yeah it's mainly cocos & peat, it's slower than the pebbles but the pebbles store a lot and release it slower to the soil, this stuff the soil is wet all the way to the top with the pebbles there was more gradient.. I'm only going to do half res from now on, I know I know you don't go full res anyway.
What I kinda need to do is if packed with soil how much can I fill to retain the proper air gap, as that's all different now.

End day 19 : Now it's several hours before light out and they're both nice and straight.
And the Sugar bomb looks likes she's catching up.
These things are humongous!

I'm calling her Strawberry Cabbage from now on.

Could it be that the medium is part of the succes?
As I did use Royalmix a bunch of grows ago and was pretty pleased with the result back then too. It was with autos and those turned into my biggest autos yet.
from the site Composition: worm humus, guano, aspergillus and bio-osmo live bacteria, various vitamins and microelements. Plagron Royalmix is a mix of the finest types of peat. Contains various types of fibre and perlite which results in a lightness and oxygen level. And gnats!! but yeah I'm willing to put that down to store conditions. And I'm Gnatfree at the moment, nothing buzzing around anymore.

That supercharged with the myco and the power of SIP seems to work well. Probably because this is basically a full hydro grow as it's peat cocos & perlite which is all pretty inert stuff but with slow feeding bio nutrient.. I dunno wtf this is.
But I do fear that the pot and slow bio nutes are not up to task to feed fast enough for this?

@Chuckeye my pots are 11,8"x11,8" so kinda like a bucket not as high a gallon less maybe because they taper down, there's a 30cm record mat that should be the size of a Lowes bucket.. I don't think I'm crazy for thinking these are pretty gigantic for their age? cause I'm pretty astounded at what I'm witnessing this grow. This is some primeval jungle shit.
I checked with the previous journal in fabric bag though, that thing was a mere twig at this stage.. yet turned into a mighty plant.. I'm crying that they are in 4g sips as I feel I need to get more light and more space involved to do this justice.

End day 19 :.
These things are humongous!

Nice healthy growth and comparable to a 5 gallon SIP with ProMix HP and MC

I saw the same accelerated growth going from fabric bags to SIP's and a slight increase in yield !

Could it be that the medium is part of the succes?

I'd say you have to give the medium (with no pebbles) some credit but most of it goes to the SIP's !

But I do fear that the pot and slow bio nutes are not up to task to feed fast enough for this?

Plagron Royalmix Only contains nutrients for up to six weeks of growth.

They also say Royalmix produces the highest yields when used with Plagron Alga Grow, Alga Bloom and the additives from Plagron.

So you will need to feed !

As to water, mid flower onwards my girls were drinking a full reservoir per day but the medium was still moist almost to the top ! You may have to top off your reservoir more often....

Having said that, I did notice that I could go a number of days on an empty reservoir before seeing any droop !

@Chuckeye my pots are 11,8"x11,8" so kinda like a bucket not as high a gallon less maybe because they taper down, there's a 30cm record mat that should be the size of a Lowes bucket..

When I went from three, four and then five gallon fabric bags the only real difference I could see was watering frequency. With your volume being less than a 5 gallon SIP you may see the same thing.

I don't think I'm crazy for thinking these are pretty gigantic for their age? cause I'm pretty astounded at what I'm witnessing this grow. This is some primeval jungle shit.

I checked with the previous journal in fabric bag though, that thing was a mere twig at this stage.. yet turned into a mighty plant..

I noticed the same thing but my yields went up roughly 25% in SIP's !

I'm crying that they are in 4g sips as I feel I need to get more light and more space involved to do this justice.

Which Evo 3 model are you using ? I think the smallest one is rated at just under 600 par which is plenty of light for a successful grow !

Are you measuring lux/par at plant top height ?

What are your plans for training ? I can allow a 2 x 2 footprint per plant.

A Large Tall Bushy plant may look impressive but ends up taking a Lot of time trimming all those relatively small buds.

Been there, done that

Limit your tops to 12 - 16 and be done in half an hour

I now prefer a few minutes every day training in exchange for less time trimming

Cheers

It's the EVO 3-100 I need another one of these and put them in a 100x100cm tent then I got a grow area with 0,88% homogeneity no wild differences and no cold corners and over 1000ppf and I could grow 4 plants like I do now in the smaller sips or one big mothasucka.
I don't have 2 feet in this tent more like 1,6' she's a 50x100cm
I do measure par, they're just shy of 400
Ever since I got the Sanlight plants have been growing a whole lot bigger that's for sure.

Nutrients I'll probably top dress some biocanna flores, without the pebbles I'm willing to give it a try again in the SIP, there's some extra pellets in there with a longer lifespan so she should hold out a bit longer I'm just going to up the calmag for now and see what happens.

I still say they're humongous, it's so much surface area for this age. She's got a 16,5" wing span across and those big fingers are 2,5" wide It's straight outta the Jurassic, no Devonian I tells ya.

Yeah training is a good question..
I was thinking cutting & cloning the bottom two layers, growing them back on top and then supercropping the main.
I could also just bend them and spread the net, or do a small quad. I never know until I start doing something.

Beautiful evening around here.

Damn SIPs!

 

[Fenderbender]

Last day week 3
Tomorrow I'm gonna manipulate.. I think supercropping might be a bit difficult with the short internodes, not much space to work or grab on too, and the material is either too floppy or too thick already.
So I'm just gonna top and guide all the branches to a space and flower I'd be at 12 or 14 per plant depending where I cut the top.., If I hurry up I might get to three flavours in jars.. both of these have fast phenos 6,5-7 weeks and 8-9 week ones.

Enormous!

 

[Fenderbender]

Night before cut

Cut Top and bottom layer of branches

I used the Great White as cloning powder or well it kinda is? no?

 

[Fenderbender]

Is an 18w Blurple LED enough to keep them alive and root?
Trippy

Day 23 just gonna recover and tuck a couple of days

I kinda hate to like the Plagron Royalmix, but damn, I'm thinking I could pick up a small bottle of their Alga Bloom and Green Sensation to try out for this grow.

 

[Azimuth]

Lol. No. Great white is a blend of microbes and rooting powders are hormones.

But that doesn't mean it couldn't work. Maybe...

Well with the how to use there's the

Great White can be used in all stages and all growing types. Use weekly for best results.

Seeds: Lightly dust with Great White.
Cuttings: Dip cutting into rooting gel/solution then lightly dip directly into Great White powder. Mix into pre-soak/fertilizer solution at a rate of 1 tsp or 3.3 grams per 2 gallons 7.5 litres of water.
Transplanting: Lightly dust planting hole and place plant directly on top.
Soil, Coco and Topfeeding: Apply at a rate of 1 tsp (3.3 grams per 2 gallons (9 litres) of water.
Hydroponics: Mix into reservoir with regular feeding at a rate of 1 tsp (3.3 grams) per 10 gallons (38 litres) of water.*

 

[Azimuth]

I guess maybe their thinking is once the roots have formed from the "Dip the cutting into rooting gel/solution" step the microbes will be close at hand.

But getting a cutting to root is a hormone thing, not a microbe thing.

But definitely good stuff. I use it when I up pot.

It's a double dip! but yeah I don't have the rooting gel.
What's the hormones necessary in the rooting process?
as root associated microbes do synthesise low amounts of phytohormones.

 

[Azimuth]

I don't use any rooting hormones when I clone (link in my sig) but there are natural aids as well. Both aloe and willow have less concentrated amounts of the hormones so some growers use them, and other alternatives are honey and cinnamon.

Yeah but they still say first dip rooting gel and then myco powder, so I guess it's more of a cloning powder aid.
Although I'm sure it will help like this, isn't all the plant material pretty morphable? like stem cells it can be triggered to become this or that or such..
