Hello grow gang.
It's Flip + 3 for the Anxiety group and it appears that the @ViparSpectra KS5000 is beginning to pull them up!

An interesting aside: Yesterday I went to my grow shop to purchase the last piece (hopefully) of the Roots Organics (RO) dry nutrients suite that I'd like to use, "Terp Tea Bloom." They didn't have the 3lb bag on the shelf. I asked the grow shop guy (GSG) about it and he said they'd been having problems getting timely delivery of the RO products since they'd been bought out by a big company (Hydrofarm).
He asked me why I didn't get the 9lb bag, which they did have, pointing out that the 9lb bag was a better deal. I responded that I was concerned about exceeding the shelf life of the larger bag do to my low-volume grow op. The GSG seemed surprised by my response and said, I'd have at least a few years to use it up. He then went and quickly looked at the manufactured dates on the 9lb bags they had available. Those dates were August 2021.
The RO nutrient bags say the product should be used within 2 years of the manufacture date that appears on the bag. He was livid! He said they just took delivery of those bags about a month ago and they expire only 6 months from now. He then muttered some fairly indecent profane words about Hydrofarm and Hawthorne (another big company that owns lots of grow supply brands).
I was somewhat tickled that my visit had led to him getting so pissed off!
I ended up ordering the product from the Zon, and I can hardly wait to see what manufacture date is on the bag when I get it. If it's a recent date then that means the Zon is getting the fresh stuff while the smaller grow shops are getting shipped the older stuff. Wouldn't that be a shame.
Look up Hawthorne Grow Supply and Hydrofarm. I'll bet you'll be surprised by all the brands they control!

Meanwhile, in the 2x2 The "Mad" Crescendo (right) was beginning to exhibit a slight bit of displeasure due to being too close to the @ViparSpectra XS1000. So I raised the light about 4 inches and stuck a few more books under her shorter tentmate, the Gush Mints clone.
As always, thanks for stopping by!
PEACE.
