Hey Sporty, I have a 4x4 from Viparspectra & it has stood up to two years of zipper pulls, my 2x4 is an L.A. Gardens tent, cheaper but it works for now.Cheers SS

Howdy fellow growers of the Herb, hope things are good & your plants are kickin a$$.

If you are here for the pretty sorry to disappoint.

There was some up potting of plants to the 4by that happened on the weekend. The "best" (using that term loosely) 12 out of the 17 DFG beans that popped are now in 1 gal fabs. Things are coming around, we just need a few days to get some roots under them.

The amount of roots when up potting was minimal to say the least, it's no wonder things were going so poorly. Not sure, not dwelling on it, moving on. This is what happens when you try to make things happen faster than Ma Nature has in mind lol. They look better & have new growth already in just a day, we'll have them hummin along here after a few days. Still all to be sexed after flipping, looks like a cpl weeks out for that right now.

Current info is on the whiteboard pic. I'll be handwatering for at least this week, maybe next.

Here is an idea I had, when I open the tent there is no need to swing it all the way back and hook it to the attached loop. This does not work when you want to have the sides open as well to work.. Nothing special but to take weight off of the zipper here I put in a little metal ring when I can attach and take the stress off the door and not cover up sides.

Closet Re-Do number One thousand, four hundred & nineteen. This is a current running joke how many times I have to change the closet around to suit the plants lol. Here is the current situation. Things have changed.

Autoflower Regs I believe are Photos. I have effed with them quite a bit and they are still not flowering even after 7 weeks so we have a new plan. Switching closet to 12/12 today and will finish em out this way. I did mention a scrog setup last week and here it is in the early stages made from quality material here aound the house.It's actually from a ladderball yard game and boy howdy, its just the right size and with some "Sporty rigging" we're scrogging the Twenty20 Avenue of Giants cut late in the grow at 4 weeks flower. Looks like this type of setup may work nicely in here. We will adapt as we progress.

Autos are Green Headband & 2 Sour Lemon

Seedlings are just that. 5 DFG's that prob should hit the bin.

Other strains popped last week are:

2 Cambodian Crasher
2 Wedding Crasher
1 The Cube x Romulan
1 Ancient Chocolate
2 Blue Cookies
2 Headbanger x Goji OG

All of the these are Photo REGS and maybe some fire. We'll see over time, eventually the Fems will get grown out with my str8 Fem grows.

Hoping my November is better than October was for me!

Getting to the bottom of current growing probs.

It has taken a few runs to catch up to me (2 to 3 runs) but my used coco is acting like soil. Thus all my seedling issues and now transplant issues are due to reusing the coco before the organic stuff (old roots) has had a chance to breakdown.

Here is a video I did a bit ago...thoughts???

To be clear...I do soak & rinse the coco, actually strain (pasta strainer size holes) out the peat (fine crap), rebuffer for 24 hours, drain, fluff, store in tote.
That said though when I reuse with some organic matter left it appears to be causing major water retention. I mean this shit is still way heavy after 3 days even.
Quite a mess trying to save some dough.

New folk to this journal have gotta think I can't even grow grass or just coming for the laughs lol.

So it gonna be all new coco from here on out. It's already alot of work to reuse, I'm not adding anymore time to the process.

Man, this is like DeJavu, as I just had this problem after 4 runs. The 5th run got heavy and would not drain properly. I got Cana Coco & new 3gal. material bags for my 6th run currently in veg. Sorry you had this problem too. SS

I think I remember you mentioning reusing coco as well but nothing clicked about it for me until last night when I was picking up pots and feeling weights, things were going fine until they weren't lol

Thanks, I'm sorry too, gotta get back on track with things here promptly I still have 11 plants just potted up a week & a half a go in the stuff to deal with...

It's remarkable how new bags & media can help a grow but it can be expensive sometimes, a learning curve for sure Cheers SS

Yes indeed I could go for a six pack of those and a quart of coffee right about now....We get a 10 pack of what they call Tim Bits same but with a bunch of flavors, sprinkles, chocolate, cake, honey and such, bad habit on the drive home from the city
