None taken bud, thats why I say seeing is believing, to be fair my clones were 4 to 6 inch out of the cloner, spent a week in my starter room and the last 3 weeks in my grow room to get to 4 feet.No disrespect but it's hard to comprehend. That's 4 weeks from this. Maybe we count veg different?
I can definitely use some tips on the soil. I think I know where I went wrong and I do feel they are very behind. I think your absolutely right about the grower experience in the media.I put my plants in my room just after the first of this month, I don't know the exact date , but we're only on the 22nd, I can take a pic of my plants and show their size but I can prove the date they went in. next round
Oh no I don't need pics man. Word is good enough I'm just trying to comprehend. So wanted to ask if we were kinda counting veg the same.None taken bud, thats why I say seeing is believing,

I'm not one to discount anything... But I'm sure curious as to the tips you can dropit's obvious I can use the help. Prob screwed in the 3 gal though but I accept it
Appreciate the tips. Probably not doing soil again but it has been a learning experience. I knowingly and unknowingly made some pretty impactful mistakes. I think coco will suit me well and if not I can always go back to what I know. I do still want to learn as much about soil on this grow as possible. So throw it at me.. I may question things but it's only so I can have it make sense to me. I have always been the kid who was asking why.I don't think its anyone or any 2 things that I do differently, not to say I didn't learn a few trick from the commercial end or from guys i learned from over the last 25 plus years and honestly yes there is a lot of underground stuff so to say you don't see floating around these boards. but trust me my first year or so in soil wasn't all roses, Here is kinda my run down, before I keep a mother plant they are all stress tested to know exactly what I got, I only keep the best ones, I take clones from the best of those, by the time my clones have 3 or 4 inches of roots there still in great shape, no yellowing or anything, so when they go in soil there is no lag in them to recover.thats where I think it all starts, no matter what one grows in, I spent a lot of time changing my nute formula to work best with my sunshine and my room/ light intensity etc, I have my feeding down to know exactly how much to feed, I never feed to get run off, only to very lightly dampen the bottom of the pot if that, yes there is a reason my lol, hand water every time so I have control over it, not every plant needs the same amount. in soil important to feed at lights on, if I feed twice, again in the afternoon its only enough to finish out the day and get me till morning . thats kind of what I do . but again it little things to like not rootbounding them before there in the final pot, ideally they only get potted once.
You were warned but I get it, had to try. Btw, soil sucks. I'm cutting bucket lids this weekend, no more fooling around.I shoulda actually named the thread Aqua Man whines for an entire dirt grow lol
Ok we are done... Gah transplanting sucks for the back when you don't have a proper table or something to work with.
Hmmm , come to think of it , yea Aqua , soil is like the Mahi, just fight that sucka, you'll be rewarded in the endOmg I thought you were going to tell him the point of the story is that soil is a worthy opponent.
I'm in love and that's a nice fish also... Lol kidding. Sorry went next door for a while.
I know it's fround upon to fish for sport and mounting but a blue marlin is something I would love to havePoint of the story , Aqua , if you get a chance to hit some saltwater , go for the 25 pound Mahi , it's a more fun fight , there are tons of them out there and it tastes really really good , marlin fishing ain't that much fun !
Yeah brother... I know you understand well. It ain't much in terms of work but it's enough in those positions that I sure feel it.Looks great!
And i sure understand the back trouble. I use a 40 gallon tote with the soil mix now on top of another bin to lift it ao I can stand straight and turn the lid sideways to use as a table and fill right there.
The difference from that and with the soil bin on the floor is huge for back pain.
Yea , I'm with ya , I can tell you some spots you can go get one , st Thomas and Puerto Rico being two hotspots , still , I might choose the halibut trip over a blue marlin if I could only do one .....always wanted to get a big ole halibut , haven't done that yet ....I know it's fround upon to fish for sport and mounting but a blue marlin is something I would love to have

We all whine man , doesnt change a thing about the accomplishment in the end. I personally care about learning more than anything else when it comes to growing anything.Thanks this is a learning experience for me. I may whine but in the end I will appreciate the experience.
