I recycle too. The soil gets better with every grow they say. My first bag from last june is in the 5x5 pots. The whole organic soil process is a little bit of a educated guesstimation.

If Im reading this right. Youre saying since the manifolds slowed things down the feed demand should of been lower and since the widows are more developed they shouldnt have got n tox?

No I think the feed rate as posted is 25% high. The 3 gallon widows got the same feed rate as the other plants in 5 gallon. If this correction goes well through flower I believe I will have a nice organic schedule to use.

The entire last page is one of the main reasons I gave up on soil. I realized I would have to purchase soil, good soil several times a year and reusing may not be an option.

In coco I can easily reuse. I know everything that is in it, nute wise and this is another biggy, I can't over water it.

All I see year after year is growers fighting with their soil, except fkin @Mikedin he's a fkin wizard

but he's the exception. Everyone else, and I was right there with y'all for many years, is still trying to figure out what's missing or why is there too much of this or that and causing whatever behavior you're seeing.

I wish I would have switched long before I actually did

Im growing my plants in Growace Aircubes, some dwc buckets and a few in 10 gallon pro mix....we'll see which one comes out on top.

Update
Watered rear widow. This was a 3 day turn around so watered fully to 2.2 liters and wet slight in pan.
Balanced lights. 45 and 35k but one rear BBMR plants is more like 30 and without a replot of the lights and placement that best I can do.
GX plant is closing in on front widow hight. If they were on same buckets they would be even.
All plants using water properly. If it takes the mainlines 6 days to clear I will back them off.

JIMKSI64 · Apr 12, 2026

So the GXGSC decides that flowering hormones are cool and stretched 2 inches from 7am to 4pm.
Placed on 5 gallon bucket and plant is now higher then front widow.
Is it me or does it look like I put 8 seeds in one pot.
This is what I have been waiting on.

Looking good!

It is so funny. I have switched my loyalty from the mainlines to the widows and now back so many times I have whiplash.

JIMKSI64 · Apr 14, 2026

Update.
Watered front Widow and GXGSC. The GX is using water like mad. Widows too.
BBMR not so much.
Broke a mainline stem on the BKMR ( going to change the short as there are blue berry moon rocks so BKMR it is)

Vid. Got some 8 week old fans need culling

JIMKSI64 · Apr 15, 2026

Update
Water check everybody good.
Preflower show in tent. All mainlines showing.

JIMKSI64 · Apr 16, 2026

Update
Watered rear widow with 2.2 liters ro water amended with cal-mag at 3ml gallon main dose. Rear widow at 48k.
Front widow at 37k
Boosted rear back mainline 5 inches for 28k. Middle at 31k. Front at 37k.
Rear was close for water. Will check at 11 am.
Will check light issue for rear main as it went up 5k.

JIMKSI64 · Apr 17, 2026

Update
Document.
Last top dress per notes. The widows need fed next service
March 27 #1
March28 #2
BBMR #2 done March 29 due now
BBMR #1 March 19 due now
Gxgsc done April 7

2 ways to handle flower. Classic way is to use 444 then 2 weeks move to bloom
Another way is go to bloom 3 9 4 and use the pot o gold amendment 1 1 1 as the water add. The widows loves the 6 of the first amendments and bloom boasts it to 9 ( P)
Widows are very close in time and looks but not size.
Going to split the feed on widows and see cause that's how we roll
O and everybody gets magic fairy dust.

I think the difference in lower vrs upper has indicated the nutrition over has caught up. Now it will take 10 days after top dress to recharge soil.
Widows have had some rust spots on older fans more than 15 inches under in low light. Already on cal-mag due to lights hitting 75% of target max. Not sure if front one will tolerate 48K right now but next watering I am going to bump lights on all plants until I get a sign and back off.
So many different heights and such.

Was gonna ask if you had any yellowing of the fan leaves yet. Just spots is good, right?

JIMKSI64 · Apr 18, 2026

Update
Left one lower old fan on rear Widow as yellow monitor. Culled everything below 14 inches. Have a nice bowl of sprouts with tiny puff balls in middle of plant.

Dropped hold downs and used kenex as lift points to stabilize plants as they grow.

Condensed footprint and moved 150 lights up to even with 400 watt panel. All lights at 66% top of widow 50k lux. Top of front widow 42k lux. Mainline f to b 36 33 30 k lux.
Widows topped dress with 3/4 feed rate bloom with cal-mag at 3 ml gallon rate and magic fairy dust and liquid gold 1 1 1 at 50% feed rate. Liquids adjusted to 6.2 pH.
Mainlines BKMR both topped dressed 4 4 4 veg at 75% feed rate. Watered appropriately for plant size. I still do not have roots everywhere and growth to empty the pot in less than a week so 1.5 items to water.
GXGSC ok for now.
No mainlines have original node fan leafs. All of em are way down low and 13 inches down from canopy top.

First sugar

Tomorrow morning I expect the leaner to be vertical. Did not make it back downstairs before lights out.

JIMKSI64 · Apr 19, 2026

Night time specs ( humidity test )
Outside 67 degrees and rainy.
Tent daytime 79 at 1.2 vdp
Night time 72 and 1.2 vdp 51%
Moved up vdp and with 90% humidity outside I can hit 45% in tent duct speed 5 .
Based on this 75/68 and 1
4 vdp at night should be doable.
With both dehuys running the power is over 3500 watts just for those 2 items.
But at night the only thing running is a duct fan and sweep fans.
With 4 pots watered this was a pretty high load test.

JIMKSI64 · Apr 19, 2026

Update
Watered GXGSC and once again a little behind. I swear this thing can go through the last liter in 10 hours.

Everyone else doing well.
Love the front Widow she gunna do well.

BKMR getting upright and ready to stretch. Did you hear me! Ready. To. Stretch

JIMKSI64 · Apr 21, 2026

Update
Moved large panel rearwards to balance the mainlines. Finally seeing some stretch vertical in these. All are raised up so that means perhaps one day and I can just drop them on the floor and crank this tent up!
Panel at 68%
Window rear 52k widow front 45k front BKMR 35k GXGSC middle 40k rear BKMR 35k
Popping and stretching
Widows showing some nitrogen fade but I have leaves to feed them and 3 days after top dress. The widows got the water add which is like a tea and when I used this last run it showed improvement quicker than the dry amendments.
