    First SIP grow observations and thoughts. With no till soil

    So I decided to try a couple of DIY SIPs this cycle. I put 4 clones into the 2 containers and filled them with a Coot's style mix that I spoke about in some different threads. I was interested in trying the SIPs with the no-till approach. I just harvested a decent harvest of GSC and had some...

    I’ve got a second GSC that seemed to have some time left. She has a ton of white hairs still and the calyxes haven’t swollen as much as her sister, but high I just took down. When I looked at her tonight through a loupe I was surprised to see that most of my the trichomes were cloudy and quite...

    Coots style mix really low in Nitrogen- best amendment?

    Just got back my soil test from a Coots mix blend. I used Malibu dynamic compost and followed the standard amendments. Only diff was that I was missing about half basalt, and Glacial rock dust when i sent out the test. I figured these were slow release additives and wouldn't affect it too much...

    GSC fan leaf yellowing week 8 of flower

    This plant is pretty healthy. This is my first grow and had some weird nute lock out stuff on my other two plants. She is budding up nicely though still has a good deal of time to do. I am all organic, in a FFOF/HF blend with amendments. She should have plenty of food. Possibly this is just...

    DIY LED strip suggestions for 3x4 room?

    Probably like a lot of people, I got excited about building a strip system for my flower room using the PLC photo boost, and then had the let down as I was sourcing parts to find that these are seemingly permanently back ordered. They seem like such a great solution and I love the idea of...

    G13..maybe 2 weeks?

    So, I'm coming up on 8 weeks since flip on the G13. This plant had some weird lockout issues, so it hasn't developed as well as my other variety. I just got a loup, and it's pretty cheap, so apologize for quality. This is my first time looking at trichomes, so figured it was worth posting and...

    Coots style mix PH and mineral level

    As I'm diving into my soil mix for the next round I'm seeing a lot of folks say to get a general mix going, get a soil test and then amend as needed.

    option for "pumice" in coots mix?

    Hello, I was out today getting all of my materials to take my first stab at Coot's style soil mix. I was sourcing everything locally in the Seattle area, and was having a hard time finding pumice, so was settling on getting perlite instead. I stopped at Home Depot and they had some of this...

    Coots style soil with smaller containers(5G to 7G)

    As I make the jump from amended bag soil to something a bit more homemade, I am getting excited about putting together a Coots style mix. In the requisite reading up on usage and stuff I found a few people saying that the mix didn't perform as well in smaller containers. I am in a 3x3 tent, so...
