Today was the first day the clones got Mega Crop. I have a feeling this is going to be a lot easier to dial in. Started at 3 grams/gallon.
I’m having trouble getting pro mix hp. There is the off chance I will have to go to a neighbouring city to get some. Waiting for one place to get back to me first. If that doesn’t pan out it’s DWC.

Hope you find what you need.

Is this the promix hp you speak of?Welcome to my new journal!
Growing Dr. Seeds:
Gorilla Glue #4 x 1
Bruce Banner #3 x 1
Blue Dream x 1
Also growing old seeds from a friend:
Columbian gold x 5
These old seeds may not germinate. That’s why there is 5 of them. I have around 100 of these seeds hope we can get one to pop.
Still using Technaflora nutrients. They worked well for me on the first grow. I follow the recipe for success exact for the seedling and transplanting stages. For the veg and flower stage I divide the recipe by 3 and feed every time instead of feed water water at full strength. I found this to be more consistent through some tests in my first grow.
The medium is pro mix hp. This soiless medium is much easier to use than my original soiless medium since it brings the ph into range within reason so I will not be checking it for the most part.
I received the following after making a purchase from Dr. Seeds. Each container had 5 seeds and had really cool artwork:
The containers were packed with care and the seeds came inside a little vial:
Each strain of seed has been put in its own shot glass where they will remain for around 20 hours at which time they will go into the paper towel:
I learned so much from my first grow and I hope I can effectively apply that knowledge to this grow while continuing to learn so much more.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my journal and all are welcome along on my journey.

Yup that’s the one.
HP is good stuff, but if someone can get only their hands on ProMix BX, you can add more perlite and mykos and it's close to HP. The difference would be the water-retaining vermiculite in the BX.

The store lied to me they only had bx. Not to worried though because it still has lots of perlite, problem is the vermiculite but whatever I learned enough not to overwater now. It shouldn’t matter.
Tossed in a DWC bucket just because.
Found these bugs on my aloe Vera. Not sure what they are but those just got sprayed down with iso too.

Not sure what those are. They look like a type of silverfish.
Post that pic here and see if anyone knows.
Friend Or Foe? Predators Of Eden
Growing outdoors is all about balance... My outdoor garden of Eden has pests of all kinds. They’ll be there to some degree no matter what i do, within organic parameters :). Eden has it all though, so there are also plenty of predators. I love entering the macro world of these tiny critters...

The plants are loving their transplant and the new feed. Wow they look sharp this morning.
I decided to go with 2 gallon pots. So I went right from the solo cups to the 2 gallons. The two bonsai mothers are in 1 gallon fabric pots.
The clone that went into the DWC doesn’t look as good but hey I did smash all the soil off it’s roots and plunge it in water. Would you be happy?

Seemed like the PPM was climbing a bit in the DWC bucket so I topped it up with ph’d water. Ph:5.85 PPM:650.
I've never seen anyone go from soil to hydro like that so I'll be watching closely to see if I can give clones away to a new grower who wants to do DWC.

I watched a video of a guy doing it. Looked like it should work no problem.I've never seen anyone go from soil to hydro like that so I'll be watching closely to see if I can give clones away to a new grower who wants to do DWC.
I have seen several videos of going both ways....giggity....but going from hydro to soil seemed way easier

Yeh it wasn’t a big deal going the other way. Especially from a small amount of soil.
I have no idea why I watched the videos, as I do not grow hydro at all, but it was very interesting to watch and learn.

Doesn’t hurt to know more. I love learning. It’s the reason I picked up the bucket in the first place. Cheap way to test out hydro.
Do not get me wrong, I guarantee I will be delving into it someday in the near future, just not this season. Perhaps I may give it a shot over winter. Biggest difference, actually checking and adjusting the ph. Never done that yet, as our water is actually pretty damn good.
