You can still top dress and work in some powered dolomite lime.

I was thinking that as well. I went to one place that specializes in growing stuff and they looked at me like I had sprouted extra limbs...

Where do you get it??

Day 35

I ran into a bit of a ventilation issue that I spent the morning fixing...just found that in my haste to get started I jury rigged the attachment on the fan intake and exhaust..fixed it and it works better. Whaddya know about that??

Not much else...

Pics!!

The Bush....I can totally see this one taking over the box. It would be hostile too!

The newbie still growing. I'll never add soil to a hempy bucket again...dumb!! (for me anyway!)

Group shot....

She's straining for the roof of the box...gawd bless her!

Questions, comments, flames?? It's all welcome!

So I'm driving along I 80 west coming home from Auburn and I notice a new hydro store in my area.

I grow biz....the largest hydro store in Northern California. Just minutes from my house in comparison to going elsewhere...awesome!!

I stop by and the guy behind the counter tells me that the easiest thing to grow in is coco and perlite mixed....screw up proof!

He also turned me onto Plant Warrior pots...anyone hear of them??

Yeah...he's referring to Hempy Pots. It's the most basic/easiest form of hydro. I'm using straight perlite in my hempys, some use 75% perlite & 25% vermiculite, and some mix with coco. I think IrishBoy uses perlite & coco and IMO he's one of the best growers here on 420 (although, he'll never say that!) and he's always willing to help, so I wouldn't hesitate to ask his advice.

There's also a good thread on it. Basically, you put an approximate 1" hole about 2" from the bottom of the bucket. Then water until you see run-off from the hole in a steady stream. The distance from the bottom of the bucket to the hole forms a res. Once the roots hit the res, the plants take off like in hydro. Water/feed again when the bucket feels light (every couple of days, or so). Use hydro nutes and PH between hydro & soil (about 6.0).

I've got a hempy bucket in this grow right now...he is using the Plant Warrior pots and the coco/perlite mix..no passive reservoir in the bottom as he's using the Plant Warrior pots...it's more like a soil grow..

Thanks!!

Actually, looking at the pots, I don't think it's hempy, but similar principle only without the res. With hempys, when you water, it's supposed to draw in oxygen. It looks like those pots are designed to draw in oxygen from the bottom of the pots instead of the tops and don't form a res with a pool of nutes. Just my take.

I think you're right...I was going to go air pots for my next grow but I like the look of these..

Coco/perlite...might be the ticket!!

My favorite pots are more related to baskets than anything else. I have noticed that I have the best luck with the baskets that fit onto buckets, probably because they drain so good, even in soil.

Day 36

Things are going along swimmingly. I'm planning on a flush tomorrow morning. I don't know how much water to flush with however..any thoughts there?

I'm planning on switching to 12/12 on March 1 regardless of where the newbie is. If it doesn't make it...that's cool. I'm hoping to get at least over an ounce from this grow.

Next grow I will be far more demanding yield wise. Not sure at this point if I should go with 3 or 4 plants. I see some box mods coming..creating more floor space and if I pull that off..then 4 for sure.

Pics!

Dorothy coming into her own...

The newbie stretching up toward the screen..

Baby le Bush attempting a hostile box takeover...crazy lil bush!!

I hope this will be good smoke...can't wait to flip it over to 12/12.
