Whole new front end arrived today, control arms, drag link, tie rod and ends, ball joints the whole shebang! Ordered Monday, delivered before lunch today. Looks like another long night of thrashing. Hope y'all are keeping it green.
 
It's all about being outside while you can here. I hate the winter. And rust! Wrenched all night got two control arms, including the axle side bushing, and all the steering. Kids are about to get up and I have to be on a job site in 3 hours. Woohoo.
 
Shitty trip, heeps still busted. Blessing of the Jeeps was great as always though.

Looking great turns! I can say I tried an air post on this round and was pleased. I did hear of you house then it's super important not to lift them by the handles. Either roll them around or put them on a flat surface and carry that. Apparently if you lift them but the fabric you rip out all the tiny roots that establish themselves.

I use coco in mine but 3 gal was WAY too small.

That pork looks amazing buddy. I did carne asada last night

That is a super helpful tip......thanks @TheMadDabber
 
Yup the fabric pots don't get moved much, rotated every now and then and to water. I like to keep them in saucers for that reason. The fabric pots on the other side with the autos sit over top of perlite drainbeds that Im trying to get to fill up with feeder roots, those don't get moved ever. I'm really hoping when it's done they pull the whole basin out! Wishful thinking but it would be awesome. I screwed up building the root system in those, didn't have any bennys for the first almost 4 weeks after planting. Just a lil GWS and what's in the pro mix.
The air pot/oxy pot whatever is different, it's hard sided so that one I move all over the place. I'm starting to like it more, especially if I just ignore the medium coming out, which has almost stopped now. I definitely need an automated irrigation system if I were to try bigger plants in them.
 
Yeah I think an auto waters my next goal. Wanna try dwc, but with the power outages here I'm gonna stick with a gravity Fed DTW.

I hear ya on that. Cannabis irrigation supply is a site sponsor that I'll probably source my parts through when I finally automate. Something I could use a small cheap DC water pump on a lawn mower battery to get through for a few days till powers back.
Looking at the whole Hi-brix crops argument and weighing the cost of switching to full hydro I can't justify shifting away from pro-mix in the pursuit of 5star buds.
I really really like the whole sub irrigated planter thing. Some of the Alaska grow bucket hybrid/spin-offs look really promising. Hopefully this setup in the autos gives me some feedback. I'd like to circulate the water underneath the fabric pots, sort of a constant supply of fresh water below the fertilized container. Weekly top drenches to replenish nutes, soil would ideally hold even moisture for prolonged periods of time. Just not sure if they will drown themselves in it.
 
You looked into the octo pot? Is that what it's called? It's a Sip with airstone....

But I was gee had a nice little SIP set up with 2 5 gallon buckets inside one another. He cut holes in the top one and dropped a netted pot in. Drilled some 1/4 holes also, then just pipe a PVC from the bottom res up above the top lip of the tip bucket. Drop in air stone. Fill with dirt, then water down the PVC to fill the res. The soil will wick up the oxygenated h20 in a bottom feed type fashion and once the roots hit the little aquifer, boom!

One never tried it. But once my Vermi compost is done and I have some solid LOS, I'm gonna try. Cause why not?!

Yea I saw a couple like that, they used an undercurrent setup with a remote rez.

Ok we're 3 days apart (mine are older) but its interesting to see the difference in growth. I got a lanky pheno and 2 short squatty ones.

I'll probably start feeding them with the next watering.
