Looks like everything is running great! That light sounds pretty dope.

It’s doing great or the price, great for for the 4x4 tent so far Frostette is loving it, it’s my 6th run I believe with her from clone and she’s really impressively clean not one leaf has been removed minus her lower defol, nothing added different than the 4x8 kahuna run side completely identical to date for amendments great combo all around for sure!

Everything looks really dialed. it just looks like LED weed tho. Nothing superior to Metal halide/HPS

 

[Phil.D.]

Yeah, I believe it comes with the cover. I've been watching alot of BAS videos. They are very informative.

I'm going to try without cover crop this first time. I'm slowly upgrading things and starting to feel like a real grower

I grow exclusively with earth boxes with water only organic soil. You are going to love them. The plants love them too.

does bigger pot equal bigger plants? is it the genetics? these ladies are massive.

im jealous

Yes bigger pots will make bigger plants, plants base their growth off their root zone space,, like trees plants are extremely in tune to their environments above and below, and around, Crown Shyness is a great example of trees being aware of their sourrounding environment

If they detect expansive root zone area they’ll continue to expand, a well rooted plant cut back then allowed to veg with a hige root ball till new growth then flip would likely produce larger colas as it would have large availability to nutrients to plant size

These 2 plants are the same age clones taken from the mother at the same time, one was kept in a 1 gallon, other was put into a 30 gallon

And since I’m here how about the color on the kahuna 3, kahuna 2 for color comparison

That purp on 3 coming in DARK

you are so wise. thank you.

 

[donkanaille94]

are there still worms in there? that was you, if i remember correctly

 

[Mikedin]

you are so wise. thank you.

Wise… not so much, lots of money spent trying various methods just for fun… yes

Trial and error, seeing how they respond to different pot sizes

I’ve ran 1 gals, 3 gals, 5gals, 5gallon buckets, 12 gallon pots, these 30’s, doing everything from full synthetic runs, split synthetic / organic, full organic runs, then this full living soil run, I’m always curious to see what’ll work or what’s a waste of time or space etc, I’ve found these large plants are the most efficient and simple to run

Even at 30 gallons these girls drink damn near 2 gallons each a day now, could probably take 2.5 I’ve held top soil moisture percentage at 27-37% and lower soil moisture at 45-60% through this run

In the 3x3 I’m experimenting with lower moisture percentages also with a kahuna 2 but in one of the 12 gallon pots, same soil as the 30’s
