Since there is a lot going on, I will break it up into two posts. First I will get the non-perpetual stuff out of the way.
First up is my Blue Dream. I am letting this go to flower since I took 3 successful healthy clones. 1 Gal smart pot, pro-mix bx and BPN 2 part. Following the schedule. Right now it is in the transition phase
Next up is a Hashplant Haze in a GiGapot. Not sure the size of the waste can, but I would say around 10L. I think the mesh is a little large in this, but it is holding together. Just have to make sure there is no wash out during watering. Also, GiGapots outdoor dry freaking fast so if you go this route be prepared to water twice a day on the hottest driest days. Another thing is I wouldn't use coco if you go with a GiGapot outdoors. That would dry way too fast. I'm bowing out of the GiGapot and going to stick with my Smart(er) Pot since I want to do Coco outdoors.
This girl is a transplant from my RDWC. She was the odd girl out on the last move up. She had 24" roots and no way they were coming out of the 3" net pot, so into the GiGapot with pro-mix bx it went, nettie and all. No room indoors for it at the moment, so it's an outdoor now. And it's thriving! Letting it go to flower too. I just fed it 12/12/2ml/gallon of BPN 2 part plus bloom booster, the 'crazy growth'.
Here is my survivor Grapefruit, she's bulking up! An Animal got to it and another Hashplant Haze last night, took a little stem off each with buds. Not bad, but still sucks. The HPH bud wasn't worth saving, but the Grapefruit is trimmed and drying now. Bastard animals. I keeeeeell you! (Achmed the dead terrorist)
Now we have the 3 Blue Dream clones I took. These are in 1/2 gallon smart(er) pots with coco. I am trying out a new lighting regime. I'm doing Gas Lantern Routine, but out in the Sun for as many hours as I can get per day (right now I do 7am to 6:45pm) then bring them in under 4 100w equivalent CFL's to finish the 12hr period and for the 1 hour in the middle of the night. I know this is not for everyone, but I could see someone like QueenTokeLove with a balcony garden making this work. I really want to make it so I can utilize all the full sun hours possible and only supplement with electric lighting. I think the plants might do a little better with the Sun light, especially hydro in coco. Ultimately I am working on a purpose built greenhouse with automated covers so I don't have to move plants around. The cover retracts at 7am (full Sun through out the year) and on a monthly schedule for the evening covering. From November through the beginning of March (went we do the daylight 'savings' thing) they will get supplemental lighting for 3 hours from 4pm until 7pm. Anyhow, just something I'm trying. Obviously the plants love the sun. No better lighting. And it's free!
This tray has 4 HPH in 1/2 gallon smart(er) pots of Pro-mix bx and one Grapefruit cutting in a 1 gallon Smart Pot with Pro-mix as well. These are on my Sun/GLR routine too.
And last we have 2 HPH in 1/2gal smarter pots of coco. Also on Sun/GLR
A pic of the Sun/GLR family.
And a couple pics of my mini hoop house. $50ish total. 2x3's, 1x2's, screws, wire, 3/4" PVC (make sure it's schedule 40, trust me) and cheap cover (6mil painters plastic). I will invest in a 4 year 92% film, but I just wanted to put something on until then.
What do you all think??
Later this evening I will update the perpetual. Stay tuned!!!
