Thanks Deev. She kicked into high gear this week and is really trying to fill that tent!
Thanks SO, she's exploding right now. Her roots are firmly established in the SIP and she is really loving her @Remo Nutrients
When you say you mixed the nutes 12 days ago, is that in water? Like you just keep an air stone in a bucket? Just wondering if you did anything special, myself being in dwc I guess it would be fine going into soil but generally my res changes weekly.Date: 2/10/23 - Day# 42

Weekly Temperatures
Temperatures outside have been all over the place. Luckily the basement stays pretty consistent. It could be a few degrees warmer, but the VPD is staying right at 1.1-1.2 and Emmy is loving it.
She's drinking over 1.5L/day now and shows no signs of slowing down. Out of the 5 gallons of @Remo I mixed up 12 days ago, I only have two liters left. It kept very well and was still 6.3pH this morning. I'll be mixing up the next batch this weekend.
I'm letting the res go dry every couple of weeks to keep it from getting stagnant. This morning it was empty, only two days after filling it. I'll fill it every day now until the next dry-back.
I removed most of the inside CarHooks this morning. I'll let her go for the next day or two and see what needs to be adjusted. She has a beautiful flat-top right now and I'd love to keep it that way.
She really needs to be cleaned up around the bottom. I've been plucking a few leaves here and there, but she's growing a lot faster than I'm plucking! As soon as she's done stretching I'll get in there and clean her up good.
Her flowers are building nicely and starting to get frosty. When I opened the tent today I smelled her for the first time, mostly mango
For now I'm just keeping the res full and the @VIVOSUN AeroLight 13-14" away from the canopy. Let's see how big this lady can get!

Yes, I mix the nutrients up as directed for 5 gallons and keep them bubbling in a 5g bucket with an air stone. Since there are no plants in there to eat anything and no light, they stay pretty stable for the entire time. And I don't have to mix nutrients every day for the SIP
You mix in concentrated form and then fill up the bucket before you use them?Yes, I mix the nutrients up as directed for 5 gallons and keep them bubbling in a 5g bucket with an air stone.

I put 5g of water in the bucket with the airstones first (the airstones help mix everything too). Then I add the nutrients for 5g as directed by Remo, one at a time. Here's the bucket right before I started adding the nutes.
Thanks So, I saw that on your journal. It's one of the reasons I wanted to use the Remo this grow. Bring on the Mango flavor bomb!
to get that with the ties off!Damn, I mix 4 gallons at a time, pour them in 1 gallon milk containers, and leave them in the outdoor chem shed until I need them. Sometimes that's 3-4 days and some sit around for a week or more. I do give them a shake before I use them though!
Thanks Shed. We'll see how long it stays that way with the ties offFrickin' tabletop flat in there.
I have the extra airpump running anyways, usually in the big 20gal water tank to keep it moving and aerated. It's probably overkill, but why not?
Thanks Trala, I really needed that yesterday. You're the bestIf Emmy Green was human:-
I hope everything is okay. If you ever need to talk/vent/whinge, just head to The Tent. It’s like fucking the Dr Phil Show in there at times.Thanks Trala, I really needed that yesterday. You're the best
This raises my heart rate! I knew they were going to make a winner with this concept!Oh, and if that's not enough, Vivosun also sent me a prototype of their new AeroLight 200W LED. I can't wait to play around with this thing! Time for a new tent!

Thanks RSR, I can't wait to start showing off this stuff. I'm just about maxed out on power in my basement, but I had an electrician by this morning to quote a 60a sub-panel down there
Thanks Trala. I'm not sure you'd want anything to do with the crazy in my head, though
Sometimes I just need to remember to breathe... and taking time with my plants usually helps.
Me too! I can't believe it's been sitting in my office for a week
I have big plans for it, though, I just need to get some infrastructure work done first.
