That is a lot of great information. Thank you.

Real shame about the LA Confidential.
Heard the same thing from Unc , on a different LA cross; he told me not to even bother growing it.
I really hope to find a good one.
I am growing out Cannaventure -La Affie right now , that is the closest I have ever got.

I find it quite intriguing that you can go that long between waterings. I have never made a mix that heavy before. I certainly see the appeal.

No problem ?
I've smoked great LA con (at least that's what the guy called it lol) but never searched for it myself after that exp. I'm sure there are breeders out there who have done waaaayyyyyy better with it than cali connection did.

I think it's due to the chunky pieces of peat moss, they stay wet longer than peat that's been ground down into just tiny fibres. Generally give em about 2-2.5 gallons of drink. Right now being in 1 gallons I have to water about every 3-4 days & I despise the schedule lol. Clones in solos are hit n miss, I always just lift em up & see how they feel.

Liking the cinder block wall. Does that help with temps? Or is it pretty much neutral?

Yeah my spots exterior walls are all cinder block in what's called a "walk out basement". Like a normal basement below your house except imagine some one moved all the dirt from behind one of the walls & made doors there so you could "walk out" to the lower portion of my yard. The block is all sealed with DRYLOK latex paint.

Being down there def helps with temps. Its cooler in summer & it traps the heat in winter. It's generally nicer down there than it is in my house lol.

I like the way you are doing the transplants into the 7 gal containers. I have to wonder if there is any hobbies out there that has as many variables as this one has. Must be more than a thousand ways to get from point A to point B o_O. Witch also makes it difficult for new growers to comprehend . Just out of curiosity how long are you vegging in the i gallon pots? Also do you do anything to the root ball before lowering in the new pot? Nice work!

That little trick with an old one gallon to give you the right size hole is PURE GOLD lol, makes trans so much easier on both of us. Plants barely notice it so I dont gotta worry about shock & it only takes me 5 seconds to drop it in the hole from outta the one gallon... Growing is kinda like life, choose your path & deal with the consequences good or bad it's all on you... except power failures thats not your fault... unless you dont pay the bill lol.

Learning can be a bitch too, I found someone I could trust who was producing good product & basically just said, "let's do a grow at my house & I'll split it with you if you teach me how to do everything like you do, then you can sell it all to your homies & just tax me a lil as payment for your time" and that worked out for a while because he needed more grow space & product & I was killing it... up until he got greedy & expected 25% of all my harvests even tho I started doing everything without his help... moral of the story is learn your basic shit to get you started & handling things on your own from one person (no conflicting info from multiple sources) & once you have a few grows under your belt you'll feel more comfortable about making minor or major changes to suit your grows needs for you.

I think I got into the one gallons early feb. So maybe 2 months. The last few weeks I've been waiting on clones to show sex, if I knew what all I had I would have been in bigger pots much sooner. I just drop em in & put a lil dirt over the top.

It's been a week since we moved to the 7s... On transplant day all I do is hydrate the new ss#4 & drop the girls in. My thought behind this has always been the semi dry 1gal rootball is gonna search for a drink & spread fast af through the new fresh wet media taking in as much as it can & getting that rootball spread out... it works pretty good ? almost time for flower, just gonna bush out a bit more once the roots fill these pots. Might only have to do one veg feed.

Def gonna flip next week. One veg feed & these ladies are growing @ waaaaarrrrp speeeeeeeeeed now. I try & take my pics at the same angle & use the cinderblocks as my growth tracker. That tall one in the middle-back is a bmcp & you can see how much its grown in a few days. The single lemon garlic og has bushed out like crazy now too.
