I am having very similar results with the new soil and that is to say really good. Transplanting up through veg every 2-3 weeks lets me use my well water only through veg and most of transition.
I love not mixing perlite but I honestly would prefer a longer dry cycle.
I dont think sunlight supply stores will carry fox farm anymore.
So depending on local properly stored supply (this batch was not and has gnats) I may go back to pro mix hp. But i like the water only veg cycle or drive farther to a store i know has a great selection inside their clean store.
i haven't finished ur thread yet so i don't know if u have switched ur mediu. considering i use the old paring knife and twism yet. based on what u said about watering I'd say go with pro mix BX and add perlite if u want/need.
while i have ur attention what height are you flipping at on avg. and what height to they finish at on avg. strain dependant i know. my up pot style will also go from cup to small cose to gallon than to 2/3 gallon finished pot. difference is my medium will be coco and i brought some stoned for aeration if needed and i have perlite on hand too. i have a height issue with a low ceiling basement so a gorilla shorty 4' x 4' won out. they make a additional extension that makes it regular tent height with their included extension. so i don't want nothing past 3 ft. using 1 600 digital hps = old school not dimmable.
i've always used promix bx except for a small trial w/coco that had me switch and 2 hempy's to see if i could do it well enough. I LIKE THAT THE REALITY IS U LEARNED THE PLANTS YOU RAN WELL AND THE DIAL IN WAS SIMPLY PROGRESSIVE as were ur results kudos. i'm delighted that you let folks know what they have been ignoring for years and many still will. you don't need a bunch of additives and shit. it's just like those who crench if u say miracle grow ferts 15-30-15 lol. Yet, i saw my mentors and others use it with outstanding results over and over again. I've moved on but not by much. the ferts i'll be using in my soil for moms etc. are alaska grow and Vermi Bloom (not sure about links so) google will pull it up fast.
a friendly dry fert it's not expensive I've used green light root stimulator with great results in the past but i can't find it now. my bottle is 10 yrs old and brought 3 palm trees back to life after a few days time 4 tops. new growth down the stem where the leaves were all stripped. i've never seen that happen but i've never had that issue before. turns out it was a p/k issue and i probably ran out of ferts in my cups. checked the roots and they looked white and cool and i was elated it wasn't broad mites for a second attack on my comeback.
i don't pst here much i just lur alot but ur thread and results i haven't seen since planet ganja/overgrow days. definitely inspiring . i've got a little moto gear. looked at ch-9 but never pulled the trigger probably won't other fish need to be hooked. thx for all this wonderful porn. oh you cup holes. a lot of extra scir work make your holes 1/2 the size and u'll get plenty of drainage . i use old school pairing knife and twist cut holes around the inside and one in the middle never fails. i've been using espoma organic this go round and used miracle grow moisture control last time. i like epsoma products though cause they work and are low cost for normal gardeners not pumped up for pot growers.
