Quote Bw: A few weeks veg'd clones is not the same as seedlings... They should be able to handle some nutes... But if thats the case you can always layer your mix, hot dirt on the bottom of the tubes and the top you can put a mix without too much nutes! Unquote.
^ This !
So what about already dumping most of the nute enriched bulk that's ment for use in the lower part of the tube already now?...
Then finnishing it off with a final half meter of home cooked dirt+unamended top layer right before transplanting time ?
I mean, you don't have to have those tubs out there already, just some premixed bags of dirt under a tree in the sun that noone will notice. Then wetten the bags right were they are ofcourse. Like poke some holes from under for drain and then completely saturate them.
It 'll spread the work load more evenly too.

yes, that's right. water level went up and down with the seasons of course. when I was there in summer (best heads I EVER saw!) I couldn't feel it floating but they told me it did in winter when they did most of their work.
but as far as choppers are concerned there's no need to make the garden a regular shape which might stand out from Nature's chaos. one could be quite 'free form' about the shape of the garden.
and no watering! what a boon!
Yeh , sure that thing will be perfectly fine.
Mines has got an Ec + PPM function but I never used the PPM reader ever.
Dipping it in my goatmilk chocolate right now, so lets see what it says, lol
It says: Ec 6.70 Ms equals 3.35 PPM. So the way this PPM setting has been calibrated means that it's half the value of the Ec option. Easy.
If it was up to me I'd beg or borrow that $300 so I could use coir bricks instead of peat; you can carry 5 x 5kg bricks in a big pack and minimize the amount of trips you need to make.
Carrying that much peat moss through the bush will eventually make a trail to your spot, not to mention the extra trips out there in your truck to drop the soil off could raise suspicion along the way...
All the hard work is for naught if someone catches on to what you're up to and rips you off.

That's a good point clunk. It would be a lot easier to haul bricks out for sure, so I may consider doing that.
The only thing that worries me us a large bulk order of bricks being delivered to my address, and all the extra shipping that will cost to do so. So itd be more like +$500 instead of 300...
Unless I get them from my local hydro store who FUCKS you up the ass with pricing. I hate those guys, I wish I lived near a reliable and honest shop sometimes. No... all the time. They have a van outside the shop with tinted windows always recording customers so you have to park on the side of the building which is a hike just to get there.
My guess is they were too sloppy with their grows, got busted, and agreed to help them bust the big growers in the area. This also raises a concern about me carrying a bulk order out there door. Fuck those guys.
I'm not sure what part of the world you live in, but Rona/Home Depot those type of hardware stores are carrying coir bricks these days - hell, I think wal-mart even has them sometimes.
