2024 ONE GALLON CHALLENGE DISCUSSION TOPIC

[Newty]

I have used similar style multi layered dryer before, once! My buddy let me get in on one of the levels. I would absolutely get one! : ) I really didn’t like my last dry and cure with the totes! It’s on the list : )

So you are thinking that supplemental lighting was helping just not placed in time? Thats something to get down earlier next time for sure, really curious about those end result : )

I know shit shrinks down after it dries a bit but thats a good looking haul in the hanger drier!

I definitely think the lighting at the bottom of the tent was helping, should of purchased and set them up before flower.
They are only 45 watts so change is going to take longer to see. Even though you would see change faster, I wouldn't want another 400 watts under there, heat would be to hard to manage lol.

Every 2 levels of the drying rack is 1 plant.
The top 2 levels is the smallest plant, which is the one that was foxtailing.
The middle 2 levels is the middle plant as far as size goes.
The bottom 2 levels is the biggest plant.

The last 3 levels of the rack are stuffed pretty good.

I could even them out but I like to weigh, package, and mark each plant separately so if there's differences in final product then I can pinpoint it down to the plant it was and look back in my notes and see if I did anything different such as nutes, training, or if it was just bigger or smaller then the rest or what have you.

Promix HP - M for the win!

First time using it and I have to say I'm loving everything about it so far, even though I swear by Fox Farm....the consistency, texture, etc of the Pro-Mix is far superior IMO.

The Pro-Mix HP I'm using, I won in a contest on another site. Now they might have me hooked which means I'll have to pay for it and the shipping

Goodbye to the days of buying Fox Farm local for $20 a bag and buy 4 get 1 free

I know, right?!?!?!
The first photo of there's in the submission thread today, almost looks fake because of how nice the picture and plant looks!

@Zer0Tolerance
Great Job, can't wait to see the next update

Here is what I have atm for pest control, I might have some other stuff outside as well.
Being that I have a bunch of plants outside as well as in, its almost inevitable that I will get some of those pests inside, either through me or the dog. But aphids will always be here had them when I grew hops as well. Only had mites once around 5 years ago, no pics but if I remember I think they looked like 2 spotted ones.

I can hit them with the soap.

Again I am not sure what those green worm type things are? Type of larva or infant caterpillar? And is that tiny white translucent thing a type of mite?
I have no problems spraying just not quite sure what they are, besides the aphids that is.View attachment 2256031

Again thanks all for the insight, if need be I can get out the dslr, not sure if that would be better though.
Should I spray first then up pot?

Here is what I use. Guaranteed not to kill you.

The further I got away from fox farms the more I relies how mediocre it is.

I buy the 3.8 cu ft bales locally for $38 I was using fox farms lucky dog (peat) same size bales, $63 at the same place. Choice was a no brainer and once I tried it, I don’t use anything else, I do add a bit more perlite (sometimes)

But I love the plant growth rates in peat

Next step would be coco and emitters but that’s moving more twords hydro imo

$38 for 3.8 cu ft?! Damn that's awesome. Online they're like $60 and $20 shipping.
Hell the 2.8 cu ft are $30 with $20 shipping.

I'm not really interested in trying coco, just seems like higher maintenance compared to other options, might just go with hydro at that point.
I was considering trying a simple DIY DWC though, maybe after the 1 gallon challenge is over.
The 3x2 I purchased for the 1 gallon challenge is going to end up being a tent I try new things and take bigger risks in, pretty much an anything goes tent or should I say "Anything Grows" tent

we know its a fluke! Seen your grows and what you got going : ) I wonder if setting it outside was the kiss of death though?

Thank you for saying that. It's a blow to my growing juju.

Love it. I would like to see some guys play with pit moss. The man made peat moss.

So....I ended up starting to feed my contender on accident, so I'll wait for the dryback to transplant and post pictures.....

Everyones plants look great!!

Even the ones that need to drop another seed.....there is still time....I think....I'm not the judge, jury, nor executioner.....well, I guess to my plants I am!?....

So sad it's turned out that way. Darla was just not up to it.
Next time for sure!

Yes this is truth. I don't like giving up on plants, shoot i rescue death door plants but autos are so different than regs they throw up the middle finger at you so i felt like doing the same to this plant. LOL i'm putting it in my little hippy greenhouse just leaving it. Hope i don't feel the need to check on it.

Yep I get that. I don't either. I had a couple of clones that got neglected and one of them I was certain was dead. No green to be seen. Stuck them in some old soil, gave them both a shot of Secret Sauce and I'll be damned if the stem of the "dead" one didn't start to green up and then a sliver of a leaf. The other actually has new growth. And now I definitely can't give up on them. Lol Could it be an affliction?
