Mikedin’s garden center, Let’s grow!

Haha yeah I’ll change stuff up here and there I want a nice full top so I’ll get her up under that first net nice and give her another topping or 2 lol, then see what she does

Should be fun might design some funky offset options with multi levels lol

I want to make little trays screwed onto Tees. And attach to the top of my +. Then I can put my lettuce or other small plants in.

They die under the canopy in SCROG.

Yeah I’m using the wire racks in the 4x8 for lettucegunna start some fresh, next is to work on shelving I the 4x8 I’m gunna flower in the 4x4 under the FD 6500

The racks can be adjusted by the inch but they’ll stay in the 4x8

The 4 x 8's have water channels so you don't really need to lift the cloth pots off the floor to get aeriation.

I'd like to see an adjustable plant stand that you can move up or down by spinning the plate to adjust height.

Something like this:

Oh boy, another project

What this is?

Getting close to flower or are you gonna pot that girl
Up again?

She’s gunna get up potted to a 5 gallon bucket right now in fact I was just talking to a few people before I got to it and then my scrog table nets came in lol

This will be the final up-pot but using the veg Gaia blend from @Shaded_One method and strawberry fields, I’ll let her veg out under the new 2x4 scrog table I made yesterday and once it’s full I’ll top dress with the 2/8/4 wait a week and flip


Table build is up above from yesterday I’ll post pics once I have the nets on

Won’t help. It’s a 3x3 in SCROG. My shelf will connect to the top of my SCROG leg. Which is a + not a tee. This will let me put it in one of four positions at whatever hight I cut the 3/4 pvc to.

Like a pole light shelf from the 70’s.

Ah, I was talking about this crap.

It cuts as it’s just plastic stretched into a net shape. Not a braided rope.

Two on left are thick bendable rather than snap. Right one is more plastic and snaps under stress.

I heat the middle and twist so they go past the locking hasp. That way they can’t get pulled open.

Ahh I got ya, heading over to that project now just got Frostette into a 5 gallon bucket lol

Made and then ran these buckets last time, they did awesome roots where bound right into the screen I put at the bottom, they use the whole bucket lol, I left the top a bit low, gotta plan for top feeding at least a few times

Myco in the new soil mix as well as all roots dusted with myco

 

[Zen_Seeker]

Nice!

Did a lot of the same but asked G$ For nute advice. He and GNick are helping me get around deficiencies, feeding and identifying them early.

At least until I piss them off enough.

Might have to add you to the list.

No plans to hydro but like your style of DIY.

Haha yeah there always down to help, I’m more of a tinker-er lol but I’ll help where I can, Scrog is done, i used zip ties for now, but she’s pretty tight so it’s nice

Frostette is up potted, scrog is ready, I’ll have to rearrange the veggie treys and and few other things so I can get the 4x4 freed up for her, and I’ll have to figure out RH, no humidifier in the 4x4, maybe I’ll throw one of the tomato plants in there and a pepper plant to add extra transpiration but we’re in progress!

 

[Mikedin]

Now that I’m thinking about it I wish I bought the 20 gallon nursery pot when I was looking at it, next plant that goes under the net will be in a 20gallon pot and only dedicated to the 2x4 net, wanna see total weight on both after complete,

Only reason I didn’t use zip ties is I want to be able to remove the table without trying to cut or undo things. The shower rings I can do with one hand and by touch rather than sight. Then leave the net in place and remove frame.

Looks great. Nice and tight. You could probably hang it like CG does. She just uses the legs temporarily. I have to little space with the light dominant.

Oh I hear ya haha if I was doing a big 4x4 or 4x8 this would not be the way to go, but since I’ll be able to reach the full canopy easily being only 2 feet deep it should be OK I’m also trying to *KINDA* be OCD and try to evenly space the buds, couple side shoots getting close to even with her top so I’ll top those ones soon, then then next ones to reach the top, I’ll do that for the next 2 weeks then spread her under the scrog and see where we’re at as far as spread of the first screen, then everything that comes through the first screen I want to top after the first or 2nd node, it’s kinda a wait and see how she fills in but I’d like the 2nd net to be at 6-8” from the first if possible

Yooo mike!! Been absent but catching back up. Frostette is looking great man and man you’re going to love the smell!! Can’t wait to see how all our variations

Haha yeah for sure she stinks already! I can only imagine the heaven your tent smells like I Just got her in this 5 gallon pot and will get her scrogged out once she picks up from transition, been a few hours but no droop or anything, got her on time lapse so we’ll see how she reacts to the transplant . but I have plans in the future for hopefully 2 of her clones have a build started above for a cloner but also have some parts coming for another idea lol

Not for this run I have an idea how I want her to look when I’m done, she grows like crazy so we’ll see what she does!

I’ll take 4 of these but for 4x8 size please

 

[Mikedin]

I’ll take 4 of these but for 4x8 size please

including 2 runs to the store I built that in about 3 ish hours while doing some other stuff at the same time lol, only change I’d make of building 4x8 would be to add an additional leg and support to the riser in the middle of each 8’ side so you don’t get droop and I’d probably add a cross bar to both levels so you don’t get a lot of draw in on the pipes when you’re tightening up the net, the nets I got where 5’x30’ with 3.5” squares for 8.99/pack so

You could probably skip the cross bars if you upped pipe diameter to 1-1/4” pipe and it’s easier to find funky fittings in 1-1/4” than anything else these are soid for a 2x4 and I would say the same for 4x4 using the 3/4” but those 8’ lengths I’d prefer larger diameter pipe, it would still probably be the cheapest and sturdiest option, as well as the most adjustable option you could find
