I've actually made several contacts, so I could do this. I've talked to the manufactures, and looked at their machine capabilities.Thats all well above my pay grade lol
These are my "intermediate pots" they are after the peat pots, and before the cloth ones, they simply allow the plant to be "transplanted" without taking it out of anything, reducing overall trauma, while keeping appropriate bag size thought the life cycle.
I purchase them by the hundreds for little of nothing. There called "tree seedling bags" on ebay. I get the largest ones, 20x10 cm I believe, but I got some smaller ones here also, just to try them out (pictured around the med bottle).
Just got the new lode of them today, as I ran out of the original 200 I purchased, so I got 200 more, I think I paid $9 or just 5 cents per bag.
I even considered going to alibaba and making a huge order of "custom bags" of slightly thicker material, larger and selling them on ebay as "sets" I bet I could make money.
Just remember that white widow will double in height and width.Dumbass Blueberry auto thinks it's time to flower... anyone disagree?? I don't think I'll buy anymore autoflower seeds, they seem to be fragile as hell.

White Widow of course continues to keep my spirits up.

I can't quite get her desired PPM locked down, it fluctuates a bit, but right around 900 seems to be where she is happy right now.
So, how do I decide when to flip the lights to 12/12 and put her into flower mode?
She's on week 5 of veg right now, if we count from when she sprouted her first tiny leaves.
I had intended to switch to 12/12 when Blueberry started flowering, but that was back when I thought Blueberry was going to grow into a real plant.
I still need to move her to the new big res, and I should do that before I switch to flower. I think I'll shoot for getting her moved tomorrow or the next day and give her a few days to settle in new water before changing the lights.Just remember that white widow will double in height and width.
Sounds like a solid planI still need to move her to the new big res, and I should do that before I switch to flower. I think I'll shoot for getting her moved tomorrow or the next day and give her a few days to settle in new water before changing the lights.
Nice... How much Southern Ag did you add?Tada.

37 gallon res filled to around 25 gallons (estimate). Fresh Southern AG anti-fungal, plus Growth Science Nutrients A/B/SS. I almost threw out Blueberry, but figured it likely doesn't hurt anything to let her be and see if she produces a gram. Haha.
I pre-mixed a 20oz bottle and marked it 1-2ml per gallon. I added a little over 40ml of pre-mix.Nice... How much Southern Ag did you add?
Nice should take a pic of roots today then in a weekI pre-mixed a 20oz bottle and marked it 1-2ml per gallon. I added a little over 40ml of pre-mix.
P.S. - also painted the underside of the lid BLACK since it passes a lot of light unmodified.
Yup, reference pictures for the roots while there healthy going into flower, will be good to have for comparison later on. Maybe get a shot with the lights on and the lights off even, with flash, so you can get the "true" color representation.Nice should take a pic of roots today then in a week
Imo and I may get some flack from some growers is that 75f is fine. I won't go into the whole ins and outs unless someone wants to. There is a slightly less dissolved oxygen at the temp but it's absolutely doable. The issue is you need to make sure you are either running a sterile system like hydrogen peroxide or a live system like hydrogaurd. This will prevent root infections from occurring and no matter what temp you run one of the 2 is a must. I run my hydro system at 72f. The other important factor is to make sure you have good gas exchange. If you want a cheap way without a chiller put your system on a basement concrete floor and use a small aquarium heater like $30 to maintain your temps. Much cheaper than a chiller.
I forgot to share the best change I made to my grow op this round... Stilts!!!

This puts the buckets at chest level, will make maintenance so much easier.
Note the orange strap anchoring it to the wall via good lag bolts into studs.

Also, @Aqua Man , I moved my lights down to get 5K on the sproutlings. ☀
I had to do some basic engineering on the weight load vs that little ass table when upgrading the res size, but I'm only at 2/3rds load. I'll watch it for sagging and brace it if necessary.OMG chest level. genius. I would I could put my big ass tent up high like that. I hate bending down to put cords through holes.
