What i miss is the slow times during seedling and young veg where i dont have to do anything for a week at a time. This way half the garden needs attention every day.
But right now i am smoking a bong with 2 different crosses in it and kief with even more plants resin in it sprinkled on top.
Time to get quite high.
Looks like some fire. Keep up the good workSome pics from tonight.

That is a bonus of growing everything at the same stage. For 80% of the grow I only REALLY need to go in there every 4 days or so to water. Even longer at the beginning.
My thing is finding strains that finish roughly at the same time so I dont have to monocrop. So boring smoking one strain only. 2 isnt bad, but I'm working on getting 3-4 varieties in there again.
I completely agree, I have been fighting a small gnat problem. I had to make up a new batch of soil the other day, I cooked the crap out of it until the inside temp was 185- 200. So far so good with that batch, after cooking I mixed in a bunch of de into it. And i sprinkle some on top of the soil after each wateringI meant to update about the gnats.
Tomorrow is 2 weeks of treatment. Although i only began saturating the pots about 10 days ago with the infused mosquito dunk (BTi) water.
And in conjunction with the yellow sticky cards hung at the bottom of the plants right over the soil I had only 2 little annoying flyers visible last night during work in there.
Maybe 20 or 30 total gnats caught this week.
Last few weeks more than a few flyers emerged from the top of the pot and drain holes and were increasing in numbers each watering.
I will continue treatment and use the yellow sticky cards regularly from now on for control.
I understand it takes 30 days to be sure all gnats and eggs and larvae are gone.
I will use up the rest of the soil and keep treating till its gone and i see no gnats. Then buy soil at a trusted inside climate controlled source where i have had no problems.
Learned my lesson. How the bags of soil are stored is even more important than what brand of mix we use.
I did that at first with all easy to grow 8 week flowering strains. Timing on the perpetual worked out well too but i got on the search for the old school high and ended up with sour diesel and thai crosses. Now the timing is all over the place. Lol.

Thats a good way to handle it if you are going to fertilize regularly but i think there is great benefit to organic style soil that is live when you plant in it.
I add microbes , bennies, etc after sterilizing it. I basically make up a super soil, sterilize it and re add the microbes , bunnies, etc. I also mix mykos in with the soil after sterilizing it to start off the microbes until I plant in it.Wholeheartedly agree. I plan to inoculate my sterilized soil with a strong dose of AACT and extra worm castings for the bennies. Not living soil exactly, but the next best thing.
Can you drop some knowledge with your plant training? Your plants just look amazing. I plan to do the same with clones.
Damn. You trimmed that quick
6-10 oz. still sounds like a lot to me considering I probably trim @ 1/2 oz. an hr. And my trimming still sucks apparently. My buddy was making fun of it. I'd swear when it's time to trim, time slows down and I move like pond water.I have had a lot of practice. :)
I took tons of breaks. I can do 2oz an hour on average. But this is one benefit of the staggared perpetual harvests. Never more than 6-10 oz at a time.
