Don't they sell pro-mix in those huge two-to-a-pallete bales? 15cy or something?

 

[planty]

I dunno? why would I want that ? 6 bales at each pot makes it easy to fill each individual pot! those huge ones need fork lifts to move...

 

[diggity]

Nice, I bet the hoop house supplies were pretty inexpensive?

 

[nomaad]

i am always going for less plastic waste.

you don't have a forklift? what kinda amateur are you?

 

[nomaad]

did u ever post your full soil mix, amendments and all?

 

[planty]

No I didn't share that information.

Wasting plastic is the least of my worries bro. To give you an idea about the way I think...I like to burn diesel to make power...

 

[planty]

Got my heater hung. Fucking blizzard this morning kept them from dropping the tank. They're coming tomorrow at 930 to give me fuel and my tank and run the hard line and what not. Yaya

[planty]

Heaters plumbed, lights are on, plants are out snow is melted. Time to destroy

did u ever post your full soil mix, amendments and all?

yea dude for real post that shit or at least pm it to me... got 120 bales of promix hp and i need to know what you guys are mixing.. hook a brother up...

 

[nomaad]

what light cycles u running in the GH.

 

[planty]

I have tha lights coming on at 230am and off at 10am to extend my day length to 17 hours. On Jun 21 I have a 15.5 hour day...Don't want to knock too much time off come summer

 

[theJointedOne]

looking nice bro,

im hoping no more storms or at most a little rain

 

[planty]

It's supposed to be shitty till mid week then open up for a killer 2010 season.

 

[nomaad]

I am doing 24 hours of light right now... I am just creating a buffer for when I flip it to something like your light cycles... it was opposite in the veg room.

 

[planty]

Can you explain your last post bro? if your light cycle is 17 hours now why change it? you just have to do more work to step it back down...maybe I'm just not understanding what you mean by a buffer by turning the lights on with no light cycle...Didn't you experience flowering when plants from a 24/0 veg room got put on an out door light cycle last year? are you planning to step the lights back down again?

 

[nomaad]

of course. i need to have my lights on in the early AM rather than the late PM like it was in the veg room. so I am giving them a few days of 24 before I make the change.

 

[localhero]

so running a 24 hour photoperiod helps in restarting your cycle at a new time? i just change my timer during lights off, its veg anyway, walking in with a flashlight shouldnt mess with their dark cycle. its not like breaking the night cycle during flowering.

 

[planty]

Gotcha. I put my veg on the same schedule as what I needed out door...

localhero - Putting em on 24 hours for a week or whatever then putting a new light cycle on em will avoid them possibly getting shocked by the lights being off for like 16 hours or something odd ball. Good idea nomaad!

ive never had an issue with putting out plants from 20-4 mid-late may.........ever.
