@SmithsJunk - YOU DA REAL GREEN ACRES
Thanks for the vote of confidence and encouragement. It'll be fun and the best part is seeing all the different styles and how people react to the issues that come up. If a "perfect" run happens then I'd love to see that as well! I keep upgrading my gear so the environment keeps changing for the grow areas I'm working with. The change is for the better though cuz I'm working towards rooms instead of tents in the garage which will solve problems immediately and maintain them for the long run. All in phases as time and money permits.
I plan on doing a cannabis growers show on YouTube.
Awesome man!! Link back to your journal when you do!

after that scientific discourse I thought your thread was lacking a little bit of religion and blasphemy.
Jewels got you covered. ☮
Time, $, opportunity.

In this case, he is looking at time. I am trying to figure out your dig/riddle. Would that be a diddle?

Like, it's almost the 11th hour? Forgive me for my ignorance, the depth of my metaphorical background usually stops at onomatopoeia ?

Tents are for camping.
Smith is a numbers guy, implying that your movement towards dedicated rooms is due to Divine Revelations should tickle his funny bone.
I love my grow rooms. I was ribbing you, that it took you a minute to figure it out.
Remember, gardeners themselves, occupy a disproportionate amount of available space.
These folks living in 2000 square foot houses- trying to run a show in 16 square feet?
Time to re-evaluate some priorities.
Despicably selfish if you ask me.
You got big shoulders @spyralout , I was able to build a joke (at your expense) upon them.

11th hour, I guess I was in the ballpark lol. Rooms were the original intent. When we were looking at houses to buy, that was on the top of the list (literally). The tents just got us up and running indoors quickly, then it just built off of that from there. Now back to the original plan. Sometimes you can see the goal, but it doesn't always (sometimes rarely) goes from point A to point B in a straight line.

Trail of money in between.

Actually I'm a minister, though I haven't been in formal ministry for a couple decades. To me, theology and science aren't mutually exclusive.

That was a pretty friggin funny meme.

I 'was' a numbers guy. I kinda forgot though. I spent over 20 years playing normal but Wolfram reminded me I could do this sh*t. I never liked math for math's sake, but it was exciting when I could solve complex real world problems with it.

Soil & foliar fed the girls this morning. All of them are healthy and taking off. The Key Lime Pie are about average but the Venom got f^ckin booster rockets on. 3 days ago used a concentrated nute solution w/saponin whetting agent for foliar and dry soil penetration. Today, hydrolyzed fish for foliar and soil. Will start doing daily foliar with fish and saponin.

(FYI for noobs, saponin breaks the surface tension of water. It will help penetrate water resistant dry soil. It will cause greater absorption during foliar feeding because water doesn't bead and run off but instead creates an even coating. Saponin is often used to make pesticides more effective since water based pesticides will bead and get caught between the hair trichs and smaller pests will escape by staying lower on the plant surface or hiding in crevices. It will help to reach fungus gnats mixed with apple cider vinegar or other components in a soil drench. If you can't afford saponin, then regular (not - anti biotic or scented) Dawn dish soap also works with a few drops in a 5 gal bucket of water based solution.)

Left row and front 4x 200gal are Venom.

I am curious about your water supply.
Jealous, as my tapwater need near estirification to get the plants to drink it.

Also, I have alterior motives. I see that back wall of your greenhouse, and my brain automatically puts a fish pond in the frame. ?

Well water. I'm in the Nor Cali Sierra upper foothills (about 2k'). Our soil is red clay, granite, limestone, and various volcanic deposits. All of which leaches into our well for some extremly hard, mineral rich, water. My soil pH runs from the mid 7's to low 8's.

Yes, yes, I love aquaculture. My dream is to use aquaponics to feed my girls in a closed system. I want to use crawdads though. I love me some crawfish, so good in a Cajun spread. The greenhouse isn't mine and I'm not ready to propose any more projects till after this 1st harvest.

...however, I will eventually build a system beside my trailer consisting of several 400-500gal tanks that will feed my mini greenhouse. Auquaculture is expensive to get started if done right. I need to get tanks, build aeration racks, setup a recirculation system, build recovery tables, setup medium for water plant root filtration, etc... I know crawdads so I can successfully set up a breeding environment that will prevent most cannibalisation. I want to build catfish tanks as well. They're lungfish so aeration doesnt have to be ridiculous.

If you check a lot of the universities in the southern US that are ag heavy will have published papers and other knowledge bases re: aquaculture, especially Texas and Alabama. I'm from the Sacto delta so fish are second nature to me. We are the West coast version of swamp people. I got on very well with the river people along the Missouri.
