A poem from Weas.... luvin it. I'll respond with fun photos.
So, the garden has/is changed significantly. The larger chunks of perlite was my downfall. The big chunks don't have the ability to hold enough water to last for more than one day and I'm unable to do dailys.... so it's been a bit rough in Tead's garden lately.
No worries tho. I shifted to peat and perl (80% / 20%). The mix is great and I'm seeing better results than when I was using the smaller perlite. Added bonus.... I'm only using 1/2 the nutes I was previously using.
But let's look at pretty pictures... it's mo funner.
This is a perl/osmo UltraDog. I slid back to my old growing routine as a check to make sure something crazy wasn't going on. I was happy with the results. This is one of the best 6L perl/osmo UD's I've seen. Plus... it brings back memories of growing in the shed. She's real near clipping and crazy smelly.... I defol'd her and stank for hours.
This is a 3-fer. I had 3 Blue Dream clones that were way too old to still be clones. I also had some new grow bags and new medium to test. The two events combined into a 5gal grow bag with 3 Blue Dreams in it. I know... crazy, but it was my first and I was just trying things out. It's a crazy test grow.
Damn.... shoulda defol'd that before the picture. Meh!
Luvin grow bags and luvin the peat/perl. Why did I not do this sooner? I always meant to, but never got around to testing peat.
I've got a bunch of plants in 5gal hempy buckets, but the bags are way mo bettah. Doin bags from here on out.
