In noticing you like to feed every 2.5 to 3 days what timer have you found that gives that flexibility?
On average, I would feed once per day. Sometimes twice every 3 days. But this is the 1st time i started watering more often. Partially because they're drinking more but also because I'm experimenting to see how watering more often works. I'm watering soon after lights come on and then 2 or 3 hours before they go out.

My first gropito run was requesting every 3 days and as much as 4 but 110 timers are all fixated on weekdays or times in a given day witch makes the math wonky for off the shelf units. Those abilities seemed only available in 300ish dollar units... not that doing manually is beneath me it just seems like i missed something; i will admit i googled the shit out of it but nothing convenient came out of the either.

Day 65 (12/12 from seed)


Things going okay. Not great but not too bad. Started having some minor health issues - browning on the edges of the leaves on the upper 1/3rd of the plants. Not all of them, but many of them. It's a bit of a guessing game, but I ended up calling this is a K deficiency. I've been so terribly paranoid about giving too much K based on the last few rounds that I've gone very conservative. It's been 3 days since I first noticed the issue and increased K. The problem is not getting worse so I feel reasonably confident I was right. I should have began slowly increasing K on or around day 50.

At any rate, I have a surprisingly large number of plants that I can give an A Grade. Let's hope they finish strong and review well. There was one that I absolutely loved but over the last 3 or 4 days it started to foxtail. Not just at the very top, but also shooting out sideways from the main top. This sucks because she got disqualified from possible selection.

Crusing right along. Added another new ingredient - Calcium Sulfate, a.k.a Gypsum. I've reached a point where dropping Nitrogen means Calcium Nitrate does not provide enough Calcium. Not too much chatter tonight...I'm beginning to take pictures of each plant and carefully naming them for future use. I'll be doing this at least weekly until they finish. Some of them could finish up as early as 3 weeks from now but most will likely be in the 4 to 5 more week category. A few group shots and then some individuals.

Amazing! Your plants are exceptionally beautiful and your book keeping is so professionally done. You have it all together. Very impressive. Do you grow for yourself or are you reporting to someone who expects these reports to be done like this and you get a salary? Just curious . Have a nice day.

Thank you! It was a lot of work to get these rooms built out but I'm really happy with how they turned out. If you're curious, I documented the build pretty well...it's starts in the middle of page 12.

Mmm that sounds good. Do you run feminized ? If so what seed company do you recommend.
I've been making my own fem seeds but if you are looking for some spots to buy seeds, there are a lot to choose from. I like to use https://www.jbcseeds.com/ when possible but it all depends on what I'm looking for. I've also done a lot of business with https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/ but paying can be a hassle. And fairly long wait times. I'm sure there are plenty of other good options but these are the two I've dealt with and can vouch for them.

Thank you for the kinds words...I appreciate it.
And if anyone has any questions, I love sharing so ask away. I've taken tons of knowledge from all of you and would love to be able to return it. And it can be difficult as there is so much bad information out there. It can be really hard sometimes.

Hows that rubber sealed drain table holding up? Blue Max is it?

Yes, Blue Max. It's holding up well but I would never use it again. It never loses it's tackiness which is a terrible problem to have. It led me to having to use garage tiles so the containers could sit on those instead of directly on the table. The problem with that is the table is filthy and very difficult to clean. After this round I'm going to see if I can pull the tiles off without ripping the blue max coating off. At that point I'll have some decisions to make. Either redo the water proofing with a different product - probably a liquid rubber of some sort. Or just clean it really well and stick with it for now. We'll see.

You may be able to topcoat it with a coating that will cure out like an enamel or two part epoxy, 1 part garage floor paint maybe i dont know about compatibility without reading up on Blue Max but it would give you that hard coat thats not sticky...maybe.

Yeah...that's exactly what I need. And something that doesn't go on too thick. My walls are only 1 inch high.

Day 79 (12/12 from seed)


I estimate that in another week or so I'll start to have a decent idea as to when each of these might finish. I think a few might be done in 2 weeks. Quite a few more in 3 weeks. And a few will need 4 more weeks. But we'll see. I've noticed my carbon filters are less effective as the humidity rises and it's starting to stink outside of the flower room which is not good. All in all, going pretty well. The Chem 9 chosen for the male is really showing in these crosses. Large colas and purple calyxes.
