Sticky's Almost Perpetual Grow

Sticky, do you load all 3 in at the same time? It might be better to space them apart by 3 weeks so you have 1 finishing, one midway and the other just starting and still small. I have 3 rooms, and space them out that way so to harvest about every 3 weeks. It lessens the work load for me.

@Agemon, I use airpots too. They work great and I'd bet even better for you soil growers to aide in getting O2 at your roots. I'd go a step further and bet that you can water more often as the major concern from keeping the media too wet is drowning the roots, but IMO, the airpots nix most of that liability.

How do you like those air pots? Im like that with the flower girls too, I don't like to cram them into the tent, gotta let them breathe! And that Soul Diesel looks awesome!

thanks bud I love the air pots but I still like the cloth with the milk crate and those have another 2 gal of soil over these airpots I got this brand was a bargain about half the price of the original one they have another they call a seven its the same diameter of these but 4 in taller I may end up going with those after I do another grow in these ill see im really happy with that diesel its practically training itself its very healthy and happy hope to keep it that way before it goes in the ground!

hey sky I only have room for two tents what I did with last winters grow was to start some plants and then when there read to go into flower I took cuts of everything then I turn the heat up to about 80 then set the humidifier to 70%r/h and the cuts do well like that then those will be my second grow of the same plants then I can zero in on them it works pretty well!
 
Sticky, I didn't mean get more tents, I meant to space the plants apart going into a tent 3 weeks apart, so they don't all fill out at the same time. So like add one, 3 weeks later add another, 3 weeks later add another, 3 weeks later harvest the first then add another.

lol I use it for foot soak to bob so do you just leave the soil in the pot and then put in your additives don't you need to use a good size pot for that no till I have looked into that im also wondering how you keep the gnats out of that rich soil?

I run 7.5 gal = 1 cu ft containers.

Gnats cant fly very well - I use fans. I haven't seen a gnat since last fall in my compost bin. lol

That and I IPM weekly with Spinosad. Mainly for mites tho.


I AUTO water from the btm of the pot so my soil at the top is usually pretty dry. Gnats like it wet.

TS looks mighty fine.

You take the best pics sticky.

Any of you guys tried diatomaceous Earth for gnats?

yes I have and as long as its dry it works but its a real pain when its time to water ive tried the other stuff to I cant think of it rite now I pretty much manage them with airflow and try not to keep the top few in of the pot dry and they stay out!
