Tomorrow is 28 days for the buckets and litter boxes and 56 days for seed plants. At least one more week on the seed plants probably more like 2 1/2.

Yesterday I only looked at BR5 pH and ppm stable almost all of the "extra" feed was taken up, some likely by capillary action to the clay media as the container was pretty heavy. It may be necessary to decrease the max water height when recircing to prevent algae. I need to top up the buckets for now as I can already see some green. Will do a peroxide dunk too when I refill today.

Peroxide dunked (30ml 34% in 4 gal ~2%) BR3 & 5, Honey Sundae wasn't kratky'd, has a form that shades the bucket and has been getting the darker corners of the garden because she is a little light sensitive so she dosen't have any algae to speak of.

Mods for the next bucket - no silicone, easy replace pump, max water level dropped 1.5".

This one will be home for another Honey Sundae.

Hope everyone is enjoying this day (as they would any other day) but in particular if there are those that celebrate or use these dates to gather and be with family that they do so comfortably and safely. I will call my father at some point, we have done some catching with other family 'bout all I can tolerate, this zoom for the holidays really fits my style. Can get the socializing in between naps and gardening, without any houseguest! Never been one to enjoy interacting with the public....lets be honest people in general.

Recirculating Kratky Rev 4.0?

Was short on media, had to take up some volume. This may actually be a kratky now is two different sets of roots develop (air set and water set), but I anticipate using a venturi so not sure what will happen. Will try to get this into the room and warmed up for transplant later today.

New for 2021 2x4 veg tent.

It is nicer than the 3x3 secret jardin it is replacing but still has a fair share of light leaks that need patching. The gear storage pouch that is sewn on basically made swiss chees out of the wall and the corner seams aren't 100, the insulated top seems worst. The lower zipper is also problematic in that they seem to rely on the tub insert which isnt quite tall enough to block light from the zipper. The windows also leak like crazy but I expected that, the light goes through the clear pvc reflects off the mylar on the flap and bounces out through the velcro. The flap shouldn't be reflective and ......not sure what I was expecting other than better. Least it won't have bedsheets hanging over it like the old one.

The 3x3 got moved inside for veggies and such, gonna try to keep the berries year round. Tempted to order seed from baker creek, I isually do bare root, but starting from seed is appealing from a disease standpoint.

BR5 is going to be run at least a couple more times, it did not impress by looks or smell on the first run but the smoke was better than the others. It's getting a fair run this time. Even when I bork a plant its not too hard to tell which is better by smoke.

What are terps like here? #3 doesn't look like anything to shake a stick at either.

She is a beauty
Thank you sir. Your inputs were incorporated, though I may still have the pumped water level too high, it perhaps should be closer to the static level. I had to silicone the pvc and drill a couple more holes in it to avoid having to throttle the pump. Should be able to set up a smaller version that is 2 x 3.5 gallon buckets instead of a 3.5 nested in a 5.

5/8 Neville's Haze cracked after 48hr
8/8 MdR cracked and the one that slipped its shell will have a rough time as I beat the hell out of it getting it out of the ice cube tray.

Accidentally cut at the wrong node, she'll be fine.

If I didn't pollinate this fuzzball it probably coulda filled a bowl.
