The plant pics are taken with some pretty serious macro gear. It is hard to get images like that with less specialized hardware. I do like playing with it when I have time, especially when I have some nice plants to photo. :pighug:
If I was still in the performance scene, I'd have top of the line photo and vid equipment. If I wasn't in ShadowLand, I'd have a YT channel or something like it. I'd have all the little 'toys'! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
Has anyone tried growing without perlite in autopots or bottom fed systems?

I keep hearing how its bad and not advised but not seeing tests on it so...

Lets call this the test but i honestly just forgot to mix in perlite because i was cold in the garage mixing up the batch haha just peatmoss and garden lime.

Almost a month since i transplanted this clone and everytime i see her i ask myself about perlite so here i am asking again here :crying:

So u can do less perlite but its more for aeration rather then drainage in a bottom feed situation! It helps keep soil from getting super compacted and choking out roots later in life! :d5:

Sounds like we need a ranch in Oklahoma! ;) :d5::crying:

If nothing else we can supplement it by raising and selling cows to @Frank the Dank for his beef dishes! :headbang:

Til they become a steak dinner we train them to guard the outdoor canna plants! :eyebrows:

Ya know, to expand on what you said, I really don't think that much applies to growing in Earthboxes, especially in a living media.
Just a random thought.
