Grow Mediums Kindsoil Official Test Team Grow Battle

>> Brim' --excellent looking brood there my friend! -- these are under the P300? ... yeah, the small amount of crystals for adjustment is surprising to me too,... has you soil pH been behaving after you add the pH'ed water?

Yep, all is good in the hood! No onset of deficiencies(knock on wood) Yeah, I went below 6.5 a few times with the crystals and had to put a ml or 2 of silica to bring it back up, but everything so far is spot on in my tent. I also went with 3 lbs of Kindsoil in my 3 gallon grow bags, so we will see how full on flower looks! I know their website said to use 1-1.5lbs Kindsoil for autos, but they got all 3 lbs. for a 3 gallon container. Cheating? maybe, but I was not included in the test, just to oversee the test thread, but we now know autos can handle the regular proportions for photos! We will see how she finishes up! No tip curl or leaf deformaties. I have been right in range on feeds(6.46-6.5) every time and they are liking it, so I'm not going to change anything. Plants are praying, so life is good!
Yes on the P300! What a beaster led. Not a very wide footprint, but I have both plants huddled underneath it, over to one side of a 2' x 4' tent. I haven't pushed a Accurate 8 into the soil yet and dont feel I really need to, if things are going great without a hitch. I have about 5 more inches before the panel is at the top of the tent, so I'll be firing up the bloom switch a bit after I run out of room and hopefully it will help stop vertical growth. We shall see.

It's been a while since I updated.. I'll give a quick rundown..

I planted two G13 clones in 5 gal airpots with 2.5 lbs of kind soil topped with Coco loco. I think I planted too deep, like right into the KS. Anyway they vegged a while but my wife fed em a pile of nutes. So im disqualified from the KS BOM unless somebody wants to vote for a male Jem because the two autos I planted in the KS happened to be male. Anyways the KS and the nutes kept the G13's going for almost 3months. The wind kept knocking them over and they were starting to show some deficiency's. I didn't think they'd make it till harvest so I chose to transplant. Thanks may have missed a pic or two... It was hot and there were a few bowls involved. this is what I did. I dug a hole... Apparently bigger than I needed, I used recycled soil some from the Jem males and some other mixed up about 12gals worth in the bottom of the hole

Then I mixed up some promix bx and some oyster shell.

Like I said.. the wind kept knocking them over

I watered in one gallon of water mixed with some Great white and put the plants in topped with the fresh promix. Watered in another 2 gals of great white. I waited a couple hours and watered again with nutes

After all was said and done they looked like this

After the second watering I got this view from where the water bottle was

Sorry I botched the test but the girls are still going..

man nice looking though bro. Waira ,maaan talk about oddball, I grow this way all the time as we know. my only dislike you could say is that my drying loses arent usually this big. with 6+ ounces wet I would normally get just a bit less than 3 or so ounces. so thats weird indeed,I got dry in my half gallon jar LESS than 2 ounces. I think it was 54 grams if i recall right. less than 2 though. wierd eh?!LOL BUT thats my only bummer about the whole thing, but the smoke is smooth,,,tastey and all of that, Mark was correct thus far,that the tastes and smoke was and IS on point indeed! thanks again Mark!

and some EARLY EARLY meds forming and so on,the grapey graperson is really doing better than last time i grew her,just lovely. I hope the structure will pan out for me too,but we'll se.all of them are looking good and got a very mild dose of a mostly water tea on the fantasmo as well as the SCH.just water to the grape though. just meds popping everywhere on this gal here,LOL KEWL!!

and some lower crisping of the leaves ,heavy feeding going on here, almost no splotching on the leaves n so on,looks really great in color across the board.

Here's an update on my test so far. Have chopped one of the girls, she could have gone a bit longer but was wanting to try some new smoke And it's wonderful too, even without a cure!

These are all Blackberry Stone's @briman creation.

Ran into a few problems with this first one. She still rode it out:

After a few days dry:
