The Gee Spot - You Finally Found It

Totes are the shiz. I have 6 and I cycle my soil through the totes. I have four with soil and two with odds and ends.

When I finish a grow I turn the root ball into a tote and bash it and manipulate it by hand to get the soil out of the roots. I add my amendments and then I turn the soil with the broken up roots in it. I keep it moist all the way through the cooking period. What is the shortest time that I can leave each tote for before reusing the soil? Bear in mind I am using 100 % recycled soil.

And.... happy Saturday Gee man and Co :)

Oh I saw the brown ? Does that slight brown mean she slimed ? You think they savable w a rinse n quick dry down in sun?

It may be possible to rinse them off, but they were just extras I let go in the cloner to see how long they would last. Once they are compromised they never seem to grow as well.

I have 2 mothers for this strain so I can always cut more. I started with 16 cuttings, chose the 2 best rooters, then culled one of the best rooters after uppotting and kept the other with the 2 mothers. 3 is all I have room for. One of them, or pissibly a new cutting, will be flowered out with the 3 Durbans. I want to see both MS and DP in a Gaia mix.

Lol you make me want to go buy a vape!🤣.

No I haven't tried it yet. It smells really sharp in a good way. Not quite pine and not quite lemon but really strongly not quite pine and not quite lemon. Very fresh almost.

Yesterday was day 3 hanging and last night it was starting to dry but not enough to snap small stems, so I tubbed it this morning and now 8 hours later the tub humidity is 81% RH. I'll let it sweat overnight and rehang it tomorrow morning.

I'm venting it every couple hours right now. It's coming nicely.🥰

I’ve never heard of this drying process. Pouring coffee…

Hey Gee, did you see my question? Sometimes my turnaround is as quick as the three or so weeks it takes to grow a seedling big enough to transplant. I haven't run into problems yet so I am assuming that is long enough for the roots to sufficiently decompose. What do you say?

You live in a pretty warm area of the world so it could easily compost that quickly. It must be nice lol. If the roots are gone then that carbon is definitely ready to go again.

Looking good!

That last seedling has fatter rounder leaves but she's the one that may be the sativa pheno, is that leaf shape more typical of a heavier sativa pheno? I ask because my strawberry cough is throwing rounder fat leaves but it's supposed to be a sativa dominant strain.

It's the serrations. They are jaggier and shaggier. It's hard to tell from those pics. I'll get better pictures today.
