2024 ONE GALLON CHALLENGE DISCUSSION TOPIC

[Newty]

Has anyone used or heard of Lambert LM-AP growing medium?

Just found 2 never used 3.8 cu ft bales in a storage shed at work and they said I could have it if I want it.

just looks like peat, so I see it being OK to add perlite and worm-casting and go. unless you just wanted to use to build clackamus coot living soil with that base. but maybe other with more experience can chime in.
looking at their site then add several things that are beneficial to it depending on the and I see several types of lm-ap that have looks different coarseness options available

I just used a bale of that brand for my new outdoor beds I know mine is 100% peat unamended

Is it pre amended or just pure peat?

It's the LM-111 version

Pics below is what I found on their website.
When I make it back over to the shed, I'll see if there's any additional details on the bales.

Looks like it’s a ready to roll growing medium. Just pick which route you wanna go; organic or synthetic and make any adjustments required for your desired path. If you’re using bottled nutrients then you could use right out of the bag. If you’re running organics just mix in 1/3 volume earthworm castings and some amendments and call it a day. I like how they already mixed in the dolimite and calcium limestone to adjust for ph and calcium needs.

That’s what I would do.

Yep 100% perfect for an organic run, looks about on par with Promix BX, the one I bought is their bare bones nothing added version but I’d run either one, I add my own wetting agent and have gypsum and bone meal I add to my mixes but that’s already got em, I’d amend as I normally would with my promix BX and go for it!

Life has been getting in the way of growing.

Flower tent is fully SCRoG’d out, combined with the fact that it is on opposite time of veg tent, makes it a lil harder to dig plant out for pix.

Sheis still doing well, should have a post up for Thursday update day.

What wetting agent do you like?

Sorry forgot to post last week.
I feel like I just defoliated a few days ago.
She has stopped the stretch and seems happy . Feeding the AN Connoisseur Bloom and all the other stuff at half strength on week 3 or so of flower, see chart. My wife says it smells like cat pee, we don't have a cat. Not sure if this is good or bad View attachment 2298291View attachment 2298290View attachment 2298289

What strain are you growing?
I'm being lazy and don't want to look through all the pages of submission posts lol.

Is it a Haze or a cross of Haze or Super Silver Haze?
I've grown a few Haze strains that smelled like cat piss.
Super Silver Haze has a pheno and the actual name of that pheno strain is "Cat Piss".

I did a Bruce banner that had a slight cat piss smell. i thought there was a cat in my basement because it smelled different inside my grow tent. i have a inline exhaust fan.

Received my seeds, heater, and plant stakes today!

Haven't tinkered with the heater yet so I'll report back on that.

Plant Stakes I thought were a decent price, 25 of them for $23.99 before discounts.
Tips are sharp, don't trip with one of these in your hand
They are light weight but strong and sturdy, put a decent amount of pressure on them to see if they would bend easy and they didn't even budge!
The end opposite of the tips have cross cut outs that you can run string/wire through and use for training/scrog, neat feature I think!

The Sweet Seeds Cream Caramel I will be starting in a couple weeks to run in my 8x4, we will see what the 27 rewards this strain received is all about!
I've not grown any of Sweet Seeds offerings and is part of the reason I purchased, along with it being 90% Indica and a family tree of pretty famous Indica strains.
2 same strain freebies included in the breeder pack.

Freebies I received were 3 Durban Poison and 2 Bruce Banner, choice of Fem Photos or Autos.
I chose Autos because I don't like to do mix strain tents (except in my 3x2) and my Auto tent holds 3 plants so choosing Autos gave me a full run in my Auto tent of the Durban Poison.
The Bruce Banner I'll grow in the 3x2 at some point.

I also received another 2 freebies, strain was unknown until they arrived, ended up being Triks Autos strain.
I'll run those in my 3x2 at some point.

I’m glass half full’n this shit here Newty!

Dude that heater is badass! It’s starting to cool down here so the light switch may get a am/pm switch also, to keep it warmer at night. Looking forward to your review : ) the stakes look nice too!

 

[RootFarmer]

I did the am/pm switch right before flip because it's getting chilly at night.

I really dig the heater. I have seen people using portable oil heaters and other stuff. I bought one for my house one day when my heat pump for my house stopped working. I moved the oil heater I bought around it heated well and smelled like an armpit. I turned it off for safety reasons. I woke up a few hours later. The heater was cold and the power cord was hot! The reviews I eventually read had some guy with a burnt outlet. The instructions I had also had unplug when not in use. All the fire hazards make me happy to see ac affinity releasing that heater.

Nope! Just her cocoon.

I’m looking hard at the AC Teraform 7 for next summer.

I’m looking hard at the AC Teraform 7 for next summer.

It’s a heater and air conditioner. That thing is quite appealing and although it’s expensive, the cost isn’t much more than standard home appliance portable ac.
