Thank you man. I may be getting this third cycle started soon but it'll be with different media. I spread my 25g in my backyard and I planted 3 aloes into the ground with it. Our winters are generally relatively mild. Snows a few times here or there though so im thinking of I do a layer of mulch to insulate them when it gets a little chillier and seeing if they make it.
Also I don't have them even ordered yet but I'll be running
blumats just so I don't have the watering issue, a long with a quality moisture meter.
This last run was sort of me wanting to expand and grow more cannabis. This run will be dialing things in. Soil in particular is going to be my focus. It should've been my focus from the start but just a small reminder to anyone reading; this thread quite literally shows the first thing I've ever grow, so my learning curve was overwhelming. I'm learning and continuously going to share my mistakes with you guys to potentially help someone.
