Think the density came from more often watering/ fertilizing?
Could be, I'm not sure. They were side by side.. 2 gallon pots both fabric and plastic watered with nearly the same frequency. The fabric pots only got dryer a tiny bit before the plastic ones when I watered but not by much. They both got water every 2-3 days in bloom.
I honestly only went back to plastic because half the plants in fabric didnt do so hot. The ones that came out good were better than the plastic pots, but some of them always seemed deficient and the buds came out small. The next crop I came down with root aphids almost straight away and in hindsight I think I probably had a small infestation of RA's in the few bad fabrics, and I mistook the fliers for FG's. I've been meaning to try them again since, but i always forget to grab them at the hydro store lol. It's a ferry ride away so I usually stock up on supplies once or twice a year.

Haha naw its 14-17 per tray on drip. Just dedicated myself to get off of wool and keep my tables clean so running fabrics vs the 7 million 6in hydro pots I have collected over the years and have to clean after each run and also like to leak perlite and coco out of the holes and clog my drains. Got 2 gals for moms. Never ran fabrics so should be fun.
Coco and fabric are a match made in heaven man. My buddy grows 16 1gals per tray and just kills it. I've seriously considered doing it again but with the amount of power outages I get I prefer handwatereing bigger pots infrequently. Less to babysit. But no doubt small fabric pots of coco can blow my production numbers out of the water done right.

Weekly update, We are chugging right along... Clones seem to have taken to their new home without a hiccup and are growing quickly. Got the light down lower and pushed them closer together, with any luck now they should really start to take off.

They look poised for action.

I too am a Ford man today but had to share on how I felt in the 70-80's about the POS they were making. They messed up the Mustang. Bastards!

I managed car dealers for my carreer. Here are some facts for ya.
Ford has the highest number of fatal recalls. They covered up exploding pintos for years. Then the old model square f150’s made for decades also had bad fuel lines that could start a fire. Most never made it back to the dealer for recalls. And of course the cheap spec tires on explorers that killed a bunch of people had the same name as the quality version goodyear. The factory in illinois was closed down for making it for them. Making them against spec only for ford.
Great company!

They're all about the almighty dollar. BTW, my first car was a pinto, paid $200 and took it in to have that issue repaired. Drove that pos into the ground. All their cars, as well as GM back then were crap. To go from the 69 Cobra Jet to the 74 Mustang a group of engineers should have been taken out and shot!I managed car dealers for my carreer.

Weekly update time, one day early because why not. They are just loving their big fabric pots, absolutely no issues going from rooted clone straight into these things. But I do need to exercise patience and had to feed correctly right off the bat because they have only needed water every 4-5 days so far. But the lack of feedings isnt slowing them down one bit. Last water was with a bit of calcium carbonate only, First water was about 1.2ec botanicare pbp and a blob of silica.
I gave them a thorough pruning tonight and topped them again, so looks like I might have to break out the netting for this flower run rather than using stakes, as there is gonna be a lot of tops.. Shooting for around 16 tops per plant.
Running 1200w overnight while they recover from pruning then I'll blast them all week with 2kMH, and probably flip next weekend if they keep growing like this..
Pics are 6 days apart, 17 days from rooted clone.. Not bad progress. The violator kush are the 8 plants on the right and they are growing like stink.

Picked up some new calcium to try at work on the golf greens, Calcium Silicate. Anyone used this before? I'm real curious to try it on my plants next water feeding.

Yeah my fert rep is always on the cutting edge of new products and recommended this stuff. It's got stabilized silica tech which makes the Si more available at a wider range of ph. And the Si makes Ca absorbtion way more efficient apparently. He recommends applications once every 2 weeks. For turf that is lol.
I'm gonna go with 100-150ppm and see how it does.

whoa.. check out this hot mess. Part of my fertilizer order was liquid 15-7-10 that we apply to the greens with a boom sprayer.
Went to fill the sprayer tank and noticed it was chunky, ended up dumping the whole 5 gallon jug out on the ground and look what came out of it!! Yikes... Its never done this on me before. Calcium phosphate anyone?

I have seen sediment like that in the bottom of the bucket when using fox farm trio.
Is there a market for calcium phosphate? We could farm it from our mixing buckets and sell it on ebay?
