My old trimmer lady just sent me a picture of her new dog and it’s something I’ve never seen before. I’m waiting to hear back with the breed actually is.

:tumbleweed:mornin campers...another day at the frog factory...today we'll need to move 2 pallets of soil onto the porch,and load the one that got sold yesterday...and it's still friggin hot,fall can't get here soon enough for me...
looking forward to fall,almost time to get the living soil run going...it would be a big investment to convert even half the main flower room to soil beds,but that means less pot washing and less medium to haul...
best get moving,plants to water before i head to work...

:watchplant:alrighty,one more garden task to go until later in flower...sticking cuttings...just got new scissors for that,and a fresh bottle of bleach...
got the keepers from last free cooling season's pheno hunt up-potted so they can finally get run again...just in time to start more seeds...not so many this time...maybe 2 packs...and getting the 3x3 tent cleared out for the living soil run...
and got the cooler media swapped out...pretty gross,plugged with calcium build up and algae,i already see it's bringing the temp in the room down pretty quickly...

it's like most of the new silly polyhybrids dessert strains,tasty,reasonably potent...but no better or worse than any other modern hybrid...got that bag appeal for sure...


so i've been doing some research or just spec checking really,and it looks like i can fit a 3x3 soil bed in the 3x3 tent so instead of one big plant i'm gonna go for 4 smaller plants,and a variety of strains to really give the whole living soil thing a good test

That 3x3 bed in a 3x3 tent is going to suck unless you have access to the back of the tent. If the back flap is zippered, giving room for you to work, it's not an issue.

It can be a real bitch to be on your knees trying to defoliate or even inspect the further plants, or worse, bending over and doing it.

I wish you the best with the LOS grow. BAS 3.0 of mine in 15gals hasn't needed to be reamended even after 3 runs. I do topdress with basic organic amendments, which I'm sure helps with any soil depletion. Spending on a soil test will be in order soon.

i'm tall, a 3 foot tent ain't no thing but a hyper chicken wing
