lol when i took all these girls out of the aero veggers all the roots were tangles and mashed together. So i went and pretty much cut any roots that i couldnt spread apart. That was about 10 days ago. Then i went and took and flower site/leaf that wasn't going to be "ideal". I would say i pruned about 50% of the root mass and 40% of all flower/leaf sites. also went and lolly popped what i could.

I definitely put them through some major stress. I ended up replacing 1 of the soil bed plants that just wasn't recovering fast enough. I should have let them soil bed plants veg for another 10 days before inducing the flip. stupid mistake. I also decided to throw the 3 biggest girls into flower today and give the new plants a bit more space to veg. Those 3 girls had already recovered and were looking good.

But now i'm starting to clear out my aero cloners and get them ready for soil. Soon I won't be even cloning in aero anymore. going to rockwool cubes and domes. Definitely lots of change going on in my op but its for the best. Had to turn off the CO2 in the soil bed rooms as well as the heat was just a bit too much. hoping to get the that mini split ordered in next week or so.

Bro, your trying a new method, dealin with climate conditons all at the same time. Shit gonna happen, that whats make us better growers, being able to handle shit when it arrises. Im kinda glad ur takin the plunge into beds and A's feeding regimin, ill be watchion close to see what hiccups you come across and learn from what you find out in ur transition.
I think even after my swithc though, ill still be using my ezcloner, just use caregiverkens advice with no additives just plain water. Shit just roots with a kill success rate

Thanks Ken, In the end we become better growers and really that's what i'm shooting for -- To really take my growing skills to another level -- Just sucks having to live through the lessons lol

I almost have everything to run Aliens Feed Recipe. Will have the last pieces, fossilized guano and sea green, on monday and will start feeding all the girls. Been feeding a light foliar and Teas every couple days. Just trying to take it easy on all the girls till they adjust to the new medium.

I really like my aero cloner but want to try something different. I like not having pumps and crap all over the place lol took out most of my hydro equipment today and man i have a lot of space! lol already thinking about getting another rotation in lol

So all the new girls are getting adjusted to soil. Still about a month away from getting my rotation re-established but have very high hopes for the soil girls.

SOIL1

Here's a shot of the the (2) Krakens I threw into soil. They are growing real nicely. tomorrow will be there first feed day. Been hitting them with AACT's while they been adjusting. Growth has started and both Krakens are starting to beef up.

I also went and installed (1) large adjust-a-wing(aaw). will have the other up by early next week. Will have all my Alien feed ingredients on monday and will start on the full regime then.

I'm excited for you & the soil dirk. Everything's looking happy! Hope you're doing well.
 
#307
are you gonna go feed feed tea? otherwise watch out for lock out........its a heavy program, not all plants like his regimen IME....but the ones that do, do!

seagreen is good, but it doesnt prevent lockout like drip clean, so u need to use teas or water between feedings!

everything looks good!

thanks for the advice Kushluvr, right now i'm pretty much doing 1/2 of aliens feed program. was thinking of doing feed, water/tea, feed, water/tea. Going to just take it very easy and work my way slowly lol. Been upping the teas for the girls every 3 days or so. Almost have my tea brewer going 24/7 lol Will do some Soil amending in the next batch's as well.

here's a shot of the soil beds. These girls are finally starting to adjust and grow. Already improved my soil mix so this is going to be a real nice test run.

I decided to replace one of the plants that just was looking like crap. however this girl is doing very well.
