Intake fans and speed controllers installed. The 8000btu window a/c is in this room. The veg tent and flower room share the cool air in summer.

I guess after 5 years of perpetual growing and more than 35 years smoking herb and in the industries black market its time i start my own thread.

I grow a small but productive medical garden with mrs. Mmg and i allowed up to 24 plants. We both have realized health benefits from weed and have strived for top quality in the garden over yield or money.

Greed is the killer when farming in my opinion. Patience and details are key.

For now i just want to post some pics from last night when i entered the flower room at lights on.

I just love it when things are going well (of course) and had to take pics of the garden waking up.

Each plant is from a feminized seed and is a different strain/cross/pheno staggared about 10 days apart on average for a continued variety of flowers.

I did this also to remain in plant count with a higher output and space management per month while keeping to the rediculous 2.5 oz per patient rule of weed on hand allowed.

The house has appeared to be in full compliance the whole time.

With rec now legal i may monocrop in a new 4x8 tent and actually take some time off. I have gardened every day for 4 years in a row.

I have health issues from birth that prematurely ended my sales management carreer and now work more often. Lol.

Sorry. I will shut up now and post pics.

Presently these are all CH9 seeds. I have tried many different seeds and we tend to like ch9 best. Almost 100% germination after hundreds of plants and fantastic old school effects combined with strong medical effects. And bred from some of the best genetics ever available in my opinion.

I will still mix in other genetics as I go.

Hope that was a good intro. I will try to update often and all other growers are welcome. Except for trolls. Lol.

@707finisher here is the other gsc plant flowering. She stays stressed too but is in the out of date promix and it is holding nutes a bit much. Not draining right anymore even with the extra perlite.

I've kinda noticed that as I recycle my soils, I'm constantly getting more root like material as it goes along, I remove the bulk of it, but the fine roots always remain. I kinda figure they've got good mojo in them, so why not. Except over multiple grows, it eventually changes the composition of the soil mixture and has too much of what I consider a peat type quality to it. The soil loses some of it's cohesion. Usually I just dilute it by mixing in more fresh soil. Mostly been using FoxFarm Frog, or Ocean when the other is not available.

The sad part is, I've got all that soil up in the mountains, and I haven't used any of it yet. (although, I did a small grow up there last year) I got a feeling that soil up there is better than anything I've used to date. 12 acres of pristine old growth rain forest with a glacier fed spring running in the center of it, and several other seasonal springs. (a seasonal one in the video running under that tree) Several species of mushrooms get really prolific during certain times of the year. The underside of the canopy is filled with fiddle back ferns and literally ton's of lichens hanging from the trees and underbrush, some chunks of earth (when dug up) are filled with mycococonaze in certain spots, sometimes a foot or so thick and extending out in all directions.

7 acres of the land directly north of me quite literally "fell' off the mountain during the winter rains, it got super saturated back in 2014 when it rained for 2 weeks straight, after people clear cut the forest in those spots. (This happened 2 days before notorious Oso landslide in Washington State. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Oso_mudslide) Essentially, it's a clay base, made from ground up glacial rocks covered with decomposition of the fauna. They are in essence very fragile, massive ancient glacial clay cauldron's, or bowls. (acre sized) filled with debris of the last 10,000 years. Some spots are about 8-10 feet of this peat like material, other spots like in the video, the clay is only a few feet down. When it rains, the forest floor soaks up whatever makes it though the tree canopy, and it's got little underground springs running everywhere down the slopes, where the underlying clay meets the top layers of soil. We get 73 inches of rain, and it rains almost 200 days a year, with about 160 days of sunshine.

The soil is very much alive in this place. I think the pics were taken in the early spring. I'm thinking early March, after the snow melt, so the dead materials are from the previous year. Sorry about rambling, but I'm truly amazed at the circle of life, in the soil of this area. It's a true micro-climate worthy of study, and an extremely delicate balance of varying climate conditions.

Check the motor brushes on the old fans, cheap to replace, just depends on how hard they are to extract and replace.

Looking good dude! What do you mean by out of date pro mix? I swear I got a bad bag. I usually grab bails and it was 2 of the sealed smaller bags of Pro Mix HP. It was very dry and the plants haven't been right since I put them in it.

Pro mix recommends using their mix in a year from packaging. Mine is over 14 months.

For organic type soils 6 months.

congratulations on graduating your first step to Perpetual grow:-):-) 5 years are your infant years! And I must say one thing, if anybody that is cultivating indoors doesn't have a Perpetual grow , then there's something severely wrong with them... Or they're just not interested ! I mean there is Not many reasons not to have a Perpetual grow I guess a few of them might be it is not become legal in any way shape or form in your state! Meaning that you're taking a high chance on your freedom no matter if you grow for 8 weeks or 20 years! I guess another reason would be that you are a card-carrying all Supreme lightweight and don't need or have any reason at all to have a Perpetual grow! But if you do have a Perpetual grow you also should have a perpetual hash Farm as well! By the way Supreme light weights are not allowed to even be in the same room with hash they should not even even look at it in a picture very. But anybody that would waste such delicious trichomes by not making hash or, edibles or / dab / wax or any of the other Mini types of extracts to make things brownies / cookies/ gummy bears which all fall into edible category !. Waste not want not anybody who does is committing a taboo and the hipster will come after you when you least expect it so beware the hipster it lurks in places you would never except and when it strikes there'll be nothing left of you but a pile of Smokey Ash! But again congratulations on graduating from your infancy of a Perpetual grow:-) :-) LOL

View attachment 1100292 Black Gold, Texas Tea worm castings is what they be some of the best Munchies for Your Girls just the right amount of everything within them it doesn't matter how much you put because the nitrogen that is worm castings will never burn your plants but you can't cultivate directly in them because they're too dense and won't hold air your plants will suffocate so you must mix them:-) :-) Mother Nature's perfect food 4 Mary Jane and many other things but we all deal with other things or at least other things are not a priority...
