The Indoorfarmer is up to his crazy ways!

Then I took one plant and opened the side screw of the air pot to get her out;

Then I inoculated the roots with mycorrhizae and put her in and gently packed some soil around;

and voila, this is how I do it.

Now that all of them are in their new vegging home and a new light. I guess we just relax and enjoy the view…and here they are;

will keep you guys updated on the grow.
Peace!

This is the ppfd chart I use to grow;

Thanks! Love the step by step updates...I'm leaning towards doing some more experimentation with the air pots again!

The Grower’s Choice ROI 680 is currently sitting at 24 inches above the canopy and at 40% intensity.
The leaf temps are at 24.5c;

And I lowered the ppfd for now to lower stress of transplant and new light;

when I will see that they are good I will raise the intensity up gradually day by day.

Welcome and thanks! I always appreciate having people hanging out for the grow.

Hey guys! So for today’s update, not much going on in the grow room today just making sure they look happy and make sure the parameters are in check. So temps now are 25c in day and 60-65%RH and still 22c with 55-60% RH. It’s winter here so it’s really dry in the house like 25%RH so no issues atm with high humidity in tent.

Light has been lowered to 18 inches above canopy and still at 40% intensity. I want around 500 ppfd at this point and I will adjust with how my plant will stretch. Ppfd reading above canopy with Photone;

this is the highest reading dead center.
Now for the rise in temperature, no need to adjust humidity as we are still in the vpd chart recommendations. Here are today’s leaf temp;

Everything is looking good, and no watering until I feel the container is light enough. Here they are today;

They are growing good after the topping we should see better growth from now on.

Also, got some more goodie’s for the grow. Got me some Power SI and some KBS Nature’s pride flower finisher.

Thanks guys that’s it for today and will update soon!
Cheers from Canada!

Hey guys little update for today. So the mintz did not like the higher intensity so I brought it up to 24 inches away from canopy. And here they are now;

pots seems lighter so that a good thing also brought the RH down to 55-60% just to help also with the drying of the pots since the roots are not established and it’s a small plant in a bigger pot. Might adjust after we will see.
temps are 24-25c. The clip dans are blowing wind around on top of light creating a good air flow. That will be todays big update so have a great weekend guys!

How has the grow been going ? been thinking about switching to Gaia green organics

How are the airpots treating you?

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

Just little update. Did not have much time to post guys due to work and needed to do more hours since everything is just so dam expensive now X) Just about to flip tonight, here they were before trim;

And now!

I see you up potted to fabric pots did you add a 50/50 of the 444 and 284 1.5 tablespoons per gallon of each ?

 

[sunwestgenetics]

Crops are grown inside, under lights, one on top of the other. The advantages are numerous: higher productivity in a much smaller area; shorter growing times; lower water use; fresh produce grown much closer to where it's eaten; and, AeroFarm executives say, improved food taste.

Indeed I did :)

When I transplanted in the 7 gal I went with a 50/50 ratio of the 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 and wc at 25% of media.
Also, used mycorrhizae at transplant.

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

So 7 gal at 3 tbsp per gal=21 tbps / by 2= 10.5 (so I added 10.5 tbps of each 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 for the 50% ratio) for my mix of each pot if that makes sense :)

How are the airpots treating you?

I will go full fabric next time. I will keep the propagation air pot to start but will go to fabric after. The issue I had was when in 2gal at the initial transplant you water the plant and not the pot so it was hard not having dry spots or water running out the sides. I also could not water from the bottom to get the roots to grow down because they are raised by a good 2 inch off the ground by default. With fabric I can fill the saucer with my watering and the pot will drink up. They are amazing for hydro we’re you need to flood all the time but for soil organic where it’s the opposite that you don’t want run off this is not ideal.

 

[Theindoorfarmer]

All is going good. Watering every other day with power si bloom and RO water. The stretch is on and we are filling up the canopy nicely. Will stop tucking around day 8 of flower.
