Sporty's Den of Iniquity

[Kold Kasiz]

Love the full tent, they are super happy. Its not too late and i would probably try to get a trellis in there. Just be easy and start at the tallest corner tucking them in the net slowly lowering it. Should be a nice harvest no matter what you choose.

So many issues with Coco this year made me think pretty hard about going back to soil. This time though I'm mixing my own and adding the dry ammendments prior and during the grow. Last time it was FF soil & Megacrop. Not sure it's going to be a full switch, but it does

My results so far have been way better than I expected. Plants are lush and coming along real nice. I am just over 1/2way through this soil grow and no issues so far.



Strains here in the 20" x 36" tent, left rear - Cambodian Crasher - Kropduster, left front - Ancient Berries - Copa Genetics, Center - Future 1 - Blimburn, right front - Wedding Crasher - Kropduster, right rear - Pure Mich F4 @FreakGenetics

Shame I had to supercrop the Cambodian Crasher but it was full on into the lights (see pic below). There is no stopping this thang even 4 to 5 weeks in flower. Looking forward to running @kropduster Cambodian Crasher & his Wedding Crasher in Coco in the big tent as I have cuts.

This is the current recipe that I'm using:

Promix BX, or Organic Pro Mix 50% (I use the Pro-mix Organic from Walmart)
Worm Castings 25%
Perlite 25%

Dry Amendments.
2Tbs / gal @ ratios listed below
Dr. Earth 463
Dr. Earth 394

70/30 Veg/Early Flower
50/50 Mid Flower
30/70 Late

Azomite
1 Tbs (gal (rec 1~2 tbs)

Humic
1 Teas / gal

Lime (garden)
1 Tbs / gal (rec. 1-2 tbs

Gyspum
1 Teas / gal

Epsom
1/2 Teas / gal



Only amending with the Dr. Earth during grow plus Recharge 1x/week.

I'm beginning to wonder as I get later on in flower what you guys are using for adding some bulk and finishing for your soil plants if any?? Interested to hear....

Thanks for lookin

Thanks Mr. Kasiz

I will add some trellis tonight when I get up in there, I was hesitant but things are a GO now and plants are set so thanks for nudge just what I needed.

4 x 4 Plants




Week 3 Flower now, just defoliated but didn't go too hard, RH is much more manageable again. I could have gone harder but felt this was about right.

Before



After



Finally upgraded to a bigger Rez (12gal) so I can keep ahead better, the 5 gal bucket was fine for the smaller tent I was using but not even close to workable even with 2 plants in soil not on the Auto feed. Going to work on a DIY rez level indicator as my bamboo skewer with attached fishing bobber isn't really doin it. Current feed is 2.3ec at 4 events per lights on cycle.



2 x 3 Tent with soil plants continues to do well, the Future1 in middle is on week 3, the rest, Pure Michigan f4 in rear, Cambodian Crasher front & Ancient Berries on right are in week 7. As these finish I will move plants from the closet in that I have decided to set to 12/12 so I can get thru this glut of plants that accumulated while I was having issues.



Closet Plants
L to R, front to back
Tye Dye - Capt Red Beard
Sour Diesel - NASC Freebie
Purp. Banana Cake - Briscoe's
Walking Corpse - Eso's
Mac Dragon - Dragons Flame Genetics

Moved that small Wedding Crasher (bottom of ^pic) to closet to finish and give a little more room in the 2 x 3 tent. There was a bit of fallout though called lack of space lol. I bumped all these out of the Closet to a couple small tables in my room and have put up a blackout curtain so I can at least close my eyes and still not see LED light through my eyelids lol.




Going to be a busy December but we gotta get there first!...hell ya...at least it's a busy I like! With this many strains to smoke I should be good...............for a minute!

ty for stoppin by!

It works, but when we picked it up in Hammond and flew across Lake Ponchatrain at 2000 agl, I was hoping like hell wasn't stuck!
You might look at the replacement kit for ideas?
Mine just looks like a cork on a wire!

No cork on a wire but...scrounging around we found some different size straws.

I used the larger straw as the guide. I inserted a couple smaller straws into each other for length, then glued together. Attached the bobber and we're off and running. Just need to put the water level marks on next time I drain and fill the res.

Here's a short vid

I thought about the tube, straw would work good?
Poor service?, couldn’t watch the vid.

This is absolutely fantastic. I ain't gonna lie, I was just scrolling looking for pics and saw that bobber and couldn't resist. I had to know what was happening and I'm so happy I watched. Nice Work!!

2 x 3 Tent update

Pure Michigan F4, Anc. Berries, Cambodian Crasher are in week 9. Future1 in middle is week 5. Future1 in both soil & coco have been difficult and so easy to burn whether it's been organic or not.

Closet Setup late week 3 Flower

All were runty or just didn't want to grow but I've never tried any of these strains yet so we put em to flower.

Threw this gal in the mix as well


I'll keep shuffling them around and eventually get caught up a bit.

Four by

Late week 5, the late October heat kicked our ass as you can see. EC was up n down n all over. I did not have my feed dialed in and did not adjust fast enough. The 1 gal fab pots didn't help either. Add too much ppfd and here we are.
Got to be better.



Dirty Blonde


Washing Machine


Gelato Monster


Rosetta Stoned


The Cube X Romulan


Pure Michigan F4
Her pH is off at 6.9/7.0 so she's struggling but drinking. I did a flush but with the compacted soil it's so slow there was almost no change.


Future1


Thanks for stoppin by!
