I can’t believe this is even allowed

I pay $16.99/bag locally at the store for the same size bags, these sellers should be banned from Amazon price gouging like that

$45 for a 1.5cu/ft bag that’s ridiculous

Its the shipping. I have yet to find a place that doesnt charge freight shipping to ship soil, and all amazon does is bury that shipping cost in the item cost. Thats just my opinion, i could be wrong though, but when i think of it that way, it makes sense to me.

A 3.8 cu ft bale of promix is $50 locally, but to get that same bale shipped in its $207 after freight shipping.... absolutely absurd

Yep lucky dog 3.8 cu ft bales of peat moss $55 locally

Having some fun with the larger cement shoes new chutes from topping bit of a high mainline , little theory I’m working on lol

Well even though they where top dressed lightly a few days ago, I up potted today with near full amendment mix, I was light before anyways so let’s see what they can do! Up potted to 3 gal containers, 9tbs Gaia Green 4-4-4 / 3tbs azomite / 2tbs gypsum /2 tbs epsom/ some myco added to mix and roots dusted as well when transplanting, they where ready

Cleaned and sterilized humidifier for the 4x4, swept in the 4x8 and moved the other tomato plant outside as well as one of the pepper plants they live on the back deck now,

About 2/3 of the garden is planted, couldn’t wait any longer the seedlings had reached their limit in their germ try after 40 days

4 Frostette clones still look the same as th e day I cut them, no roots out the bottom but no droops, nothing so good signs

 

[Mikedin]

Garden is partially in, strawberries are goin nuts, added another 10x10 bed, gunna put celery, leuttice and a single zucchini plant, 2 still gave us too much last year, still have 8 loaves of zucchini bread in the freezer

2 more varieties of tomatoes are just about 2 weeks out from going out started them late, that’ll fill the last 20 tomato slots then back row will be sugar snap peas and cucumbers gotta get the net up for them still it’s coming

 

[Mikedin]

First table layer is full, gunna let her stretch a bit then re-tuck in a week then they’ll be ready for their top dress with a light defol and with 50/50 2-8-4 / 4-4-4 plus azomite, / epsom / gypsum and flip to 12/12 we’ll see where she stretches to and set a top table height

Frostette is a beast, @Trustfall how tall does she get when untrained?

The KKSC is a a nice little bush, compact as hell, wanna see how she stretches after flip

 

[Mikedin]

Evening everyone, got home from work and was just checking out the girls took some pics, everyone’s looking happy today

Trying to figure out the next portion using a 2nd net, I’ve only used one up to this point so a new adventure begins, almost time to change neuts and flip!

 

[Trustfall]

What up buddy everything looks tighty and ready to rock. Flip time soon?

 

[Harpua88]

Yes.....and nice vegetables. It's going to take us a while to work and turn that much soil but we're getting there. Yes, when do you plan on flipping? See, you started over a month after I did and you're still ahead of where I am. I knew things would go slow for me.

You're lookin' good.....looking forward to seeing the flowering.

 

[SchwiftyGrower]

Hard work paying going to pay off strong brother!! Keep it up!

Yeah we’re close! Around the 19th is top dress time for flower, gotta do a good go over of the tent and check for light leaks, possibly another light defol and time to go , honestly she’s hard to contain under that net haha, I have to tuck chutes under every day can’t wait till I flip and can let her do her thing

Thank you! flip Is coming up like I said to trust, so it’s almost time for fun! She just grew like a beast and I’m probably under feeding by 30ish % until I’m used to how the plants react to a feeding I’m planning to up the epsom/gypsum to 4tbs each and azomite to 3tbs

Hard work paying going to pay off strong brother!! Keep it up!

Thanks buddy! I know I can’t get low nighttime temps but I may have a trick up my sleeve for the last 2 weeks of flower to try and get that deep purple/black you had, what was your light/dark temps through the end of flower?

 

[SchwiftyGrower]

what was your light/dark temps through the end of flower?

Day - 70
Night - 60

Brrrrrr

 

[Mikedin]

Day - 70
Night - 60

Brrrrrr

How many weeks did you hold those temps? Last 2? Last 3? Might have a way to set something up if it’s doable and not for all of flower lol

 

[SchwiftyGrower]

Last 3 weeks is when the drastic drop happened and kept it around 65/60 the last few days to prepare for drying

 

[Mikedin]

Did a defol on the KKSC, just letting Frostette stretch out a bit her stems are gettin thick now
