Or are you going cut bags and to transplant into larger beds below? And how is your undercanopy going to work with movable beds? Netting? Any?

 

[Chefdave]

Sorry just saw in your previous post you are going to let grow into lower beds.

I got to say BH you definitely do a very professional job. That’s a lot of work. I’ve never heard of any of those strains before or the people who make them. I see your feet. I used to have a little tags stinky feet. Always thought it was funny. Me and some guys back home that’s what we called weed stinky feet. If you really think about it, they do kind of smell the same if you got rotten toes.
I was joking about the toes thing. I was somewhere in the mountains. This guy had a smell. I knew right away what it was. Something you can never forget. Ask him was there something wrong with his feet. He said yeah how did you know? I said I could smell it. He said yeah I had one to fall off a couple years ago. I had one that fell off about two weeks ago. He asked me do you think I need to go to the doctor? This is no lie. Just a crazy story.

No time to talk lol

Small lil update Got the 8x mammoth under xanopy leds installed and also the 2x vivasun under canopy (front rows). Plan is save some cash up and compare this round to zone not treated with under canopy vs zones that are and if positive im def buying another 6-8 kit . turned the mammoth only just to see em on . Oh yeah

plants for only a few days in their pot u can sre their recovery and many new leafs and growth

I know you said you were busy, not expecting a reply right away. I have been looking at some of those. I felt like they were a little bit on the pricey side, but I haven’t seen that brand. I believe it was something else or it could’ve been the same brand. Good stuff, man.

okay 7 days ish since last pictures. man they are growing nice and very soon taking cuttings of all pheno's and starting with tallest and by time im done with tall i should have shorter ones ready. if not ill wait for them


GR2/ VEG STAGE :
HVAC both set to 81f cooling on, 2 of 2 (24k btu ) + Quest set to 70% rh ( only 1x quest on ) + CO2 set to 850 ppm + PPFD Lowest dim setting, letting them get closer to led's but turned on 2x more 330 watt Timber's and moved the 4x8 further to wall. this made a full space after moving the SOG to 4x8 and it made it so i can have another line of city pickers. i assembled the city pickers 4x and added coco and up-potted 3-4x clones per city picker. 1x of city pickers has clone moms in kaya pot above. waiting on the last 8x of under canopy led's ( making total 18x UC led's) but i installed the current 8x and tested . I also have 2x 330 watt timbers near first lines that guratee's 100% zone of ppfd. right now those two are still at ceiling . soon enough ill have em lowered and running ( plants seem to have enough right now).

plants are filling in perfectly and i couldn't be happier exp being the seedlings were very pissy cause i left in tray for along time. just shows they needed the new home to live in and good environment . cuttings soon and the seedlings for OD will be moved OD shade zone than transplanted.



new city pickers since i got room organized better so 1x+ more line



looking amazing, was gonnea place pots deeper in city picker bed but roots 100% in none the less. good test

Moved all seedlings (BP + PMP) (oldest, not newly transplanted "part 2") to shade zone outdoors & plan was letting all reg's play outdoors. the younger seedlings plan is in 3-7 days goes to od in shade.



---------------------
Kaya 1-Gallon Top Dress : mature veg stage
Per 1-gallon Kaya pot =

Insect Frass — 1 tsp
Why / mode of action:

• Chitin triggers plant immune signaling (jasmonic response)
• Feeds beneficial bacteria and fungi
• Mild N + micronutrient support

What it does for you:

• Keeps growth “active and defensive”
• Helps prevent stall in high-moisture SIP conditions

Terp Tea Grow — 1 tsp
Why / mode of action:

• Organic nitrogen + microbial food base
• Drives vegetative shoot growth
• Rapidly mineralized via microbial activity

What it does for you:

• Primary “push” input for veg speed
• Supports constant shoot production for cloning

Crab Meal — 1 tsp
Why / mode of action:

• Slow calcium release (cell structure + growth stability)
• Chitin source (pest + pathogen resistance signaling)
• Long-term microbial food

What it does for you:

• Strengthens stems and branching structure
• Stabilizes fast veg growth from Terp Tea inputs

DIY " ROOTS ORGANIC Elemental" Mineral Blend / cal mag— 1 tsp
Why / mode of action:

• Micronutrient + trace mineral correction (Fe, Mn, Zn, etc.)
• Buffers coco depletion over time
• Improves enzymatic plant function

What it does for you:

• Prevents hidden deficiencies in fast-growing coco systems
• Keeps growth “clean” under heavy input cycling

MicroLife Humic Plus — 1 Tbsp
Why / mode of action:

• Humic + fulvic acids increase nutrient uptake efficiency
• Improves cation exchange capacity in coco (important)
• Buffers moisture swings (critical in your daily dry-down cycle)

What it does for you:

• Makes everything else more available
• Helps stabilize rapid wet/dry cycles from SIP + daily irrigation

Worm Castings — ½ cup (optional but highly recommended)

Why / mode of action:

• Microbial inoculation + enzyme-rich biology
• Slow nutrient release
• Moisture buffering in coco matrix

What it does for you:

• Extends feeding window between top dresses
• Smooths out “hot/cold” nutrient swing

Application Method (important for your system)

• Apply evenly across surface of 1-gallon Kaya
• Lightly scratch into top 0.5–1 inch (don’t disturb main root mass)
• Water in thoroughly with your normal drench
• Follow with SIP refill (City Picker reservoir full)

Reapplication Timing (your system, not label)
Since you are:

• using SIP (City Picker)
• watering frequently
• running compost teas

Best interval:

• Every 14–21 days (veg / mother phase)

Push mode (only if growth is maxed and demand is high):

• every 14 days

Maintenance mode (stable growth, no deficiencies):

• every 18–21 days

55-GALLON LIQUID TEA (BIOLOGICALLY BALANCED) Weekly:
BASE WATER

• 55 gal RO / dechlorinated water
• Strong aeration
• Target water temp: 65–72°F

BREW PHASE (12–24 HOURS)
These go in during the brew
RAW NPK Silica
✔ Rate: ¼ cup per 55 gal
MOA:

• Strengthens cell walls
• Improves stress tolerance

• Buffers coco depletion over time
• Improves enzymatic plant function

• Prevents hidden deficiencies in fast-growing coco systems
• Keeps growth “clean” under heavy input cycling

RAW NPK Kelp
Corrected Rate: ⅛–¼ cup per 55 gal (not ¼ cup if you’re also using Terp Tea Grow)
MOA:

• Cytokinins & auxins (root branching)
• Stress mitigation
• Feeds microbes indirectly
  Too much = hormonal overstimulation

RAW NPK Full-Up (Fulvic Acid)
✔ Rate: ¼ cup per 55 gal
MOA:

• Chelates micronutrients
• Improves nutrient uptake
• Enhances microbial transport
  Excellent choice here

RAW NPK Humic Acid

• 18–24 hrs = more fungal balance
  ✔ Do not exceed 24 hrs for max micfobes , can be used if proper aeration 7-10 days

POST-BREW / JUST BEFORE USE
These are NOT brewed — add after aeration stops or right before drenching

Continuµm
✔ Rate: 25–60 mL per 55 gal
MOA:

• Broad-spectrum microbial insurance
• Stabilizes biology across rez refills
• Reduces competition stress
  Use lower end if also using Bio-Force later

MicroLife Liquid BTi
✔ Rate: 25–60 mL per 55 gal
MOA:

• Targets fungus gnat larvae
• No effect on bacteria or fungi
• Preventative IPM layer
  Excellent inclusion

^^^ if knockout needed 5-10ml per gal ^^

OG BioWar Root Pack
Corrected Rate: ½–1 cup per 55 gal (MAX)
MOA

• Trichoderma root colonization
• Pathogen suppression
• Enzyme production
  1 cup is already heavy — no need to exceed

OG BioWar Nute Pack
Corrected Rate: ½–1 cup per 55 gal
MOA:

• Nutrient solubilization
• Mineralization of organic inputs
• Supports uptake of Terp Tea Grow
  Again — higher ≠ better here

+
Regalia @1-5ml per gal ( every 14-21 days drench)
MOA:

• Regalia stimulates the plant to produce its own protective compounds like phytoalexins, pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, and enzymes that strengthen cell walls.
• SAR/ISR

FINAL pH

• Adjust AFTER brew, BEFORE application / adding biologicals
• Target: 5.8–6.3
• Don’t chase exact numbers — stability > precision
