Happy 4/20! New array 500 arrived today! Very stoked!!!

The timing! 🥰

54 Days in Veg!! Probably could go a little longer but I’m ready to get this show on the road. I’m chomping at the bit to see how these babies turn out. My Girl Meadow, the Chesapeake bay retriever looks like she got in the stash but I promise she’s strait laced.

As a Marylander, I’m about 2-3 weeks out from getting my outdoor girls going. I’m putting a couple in the ground this year and want to see how big we can get em!!

I’m so stoked spring is here man. I hope everyone is enjoying their grow! Love yall!

Running a 27 gallon sip using clackasmas coots soil mix, just flipped to 12/12. This is the first season with this soil, this is also my second grow so I don’t really know how to diagnose deficiency. I have plenty of amendments left so I can top dress

Debilitated about 2lbs of fan leaves and small branches took me 2 hours lol. They starting to stink!

Outdoor bed yearly maintenance

What does everyone do for seasonal upkeep on their beds?

I looked through the wiki and couldn't find much.

4x8 raised fabric bed going into third year and ground bed heading into year 2.

Planning on soil testing and more compost.

What about cover crop and mulch layer? Ive heard some guys flip it and bury it under a few inches of soil and then replant? Rake it and replant? Cover with compost and just leave it and replant?

Id be grateful to hear what everyone's seasonal upkeep ritual looks like. Im still kinda new and seeking guidance.

Thanks!!

Good Afternoon Y’all!

It’s almost time to flip! I’m very happy with these 2 plants. Left is white widow, on the right is Hindu Kush. As predicted, the kush is more short & stout. I have the canopy’s almost even. All I gotta do now is thin out the riff raff and take some clones and I’ll be flippin in 2 days or so.

I’m very excited to see how these girls turn out. I’m expecting some big buds & a decent yield for 2 plants but only time will tell!

It’s funny, I remember when I first started posting my living soil bed & cover crops I was getting a lot of flack. People saying my cover crop was too much. “Why would you plant clover in your garden” 😂😂 Well look at em now!

Peep the mycelial growth on the cherry wood near the stalks. It’s going crazy.

Anyways! Thanks for reading. I wish everyone luck in their grows! ♥️

I’ve got a 2x4 tent(6 inch exhaust) I use for veg and 5x5(8 inch exhaust) for flower. I am looking to streamline my exhaust setup using the existing dryer vent in my basement, windows are not an option. The goal is to maintain negative pressure in both tents as smell is a concern.

Option 1 - Run the configuration using 6 inch ducting from 2x4 into the top side port of the 5x5 and connect it to a 8x8x6 wye splitter after the fan inside the 5x5. Then attach a 8 to 6 inch reducer and have the duct work run out of the top port into a duct silencer, followed by backdraft damper and then into another reducer so I can link to a 4x4x4 inch wye that’s attached at the top of the dryer exhaust pipe going out of the home.

Option 2 - Run 6inch duct from 2x4 (longer run) that will attach to a 6x6x6 wye outside the 5x5 tent. Inside the 5x5 I would have an 8 inch to 6 inch reducer after the filter-fan and then run ducting through the top port into the branch of the wye. Then the run would continue same as in option 1 out of the house.

My guess is that these configurations would be more efficient since both fans would be pushing their respective tent air out. I’ve seen other folks put the wye before the fan in their bigger tent to pull air out of the smaller tent but I assumed that would be less efficient since the 8 inch exhaust fan would work at a higher speed to compensate for the duct run from the 2x4.

Lastly, I have a 8 inch noise reduction clamp(kids room is directly above) and ACI recommends putting it between the filter and fan, do any of you guys have other recommendations with the different setups?

My first run I exhausted the 2x4 directly into the lung room but I battled serious humidity in my flower tent due to this and it was over the winter so I am trying to get a better setup going forward. Thank you in advance for any inputs

I'd like to start growing using organics but filling 6 20 gal fabric pots is expensive and I'm wondering if I can use this top soil in a mix of 1/3 soil 1/3 airation 1/3 worm casting

Hey everyone, first time doing a proper living-soil mix for autos and I want to double-check everything before I order.

Goal: ~90+ litres of lightly charged Build-a-Soil 3.0 style mix for 3 Mephisto autos in a Tray2Grow + 47 L reservoir (lots of leftover for future amendments). Everything is sourced in BE/NL where possible for best prices. Webpages can be translated by right-clicking.
If everything looks good this might help other growers in Belgium and The Netherlands. Is the quality of the ingredients solid? Any swaps or red flags?

Have a notill earthbox and planted green onions. These critters seem to love them. I have earthworms I introduce & don't really have an IPM solution right now. Used to grow cannabis & switched it up to some veggies.

own seed, trial grow.

I present :

Artemis I, under my Grease of the dark Side Work.

own soil blend, Buckwheat chop & drop & a wild nasturtium seems to made itself a home.
