Yes I just use a rapid rooter cut down though. I feel they are a little to restrictive and I want the little roots to freely penetrate. So I guess it's more like a small cradle.

For the soil I do wet it. Sticking anything in dry is bad news lol. Just messing but Since I can't see the roots there really isn't a way to see if they hit dry soil so I prevent that by pre watering.

As far as watering goes I kinda go by feel of the pots weight. First few weeks there isn't need to water daily but by flower it's necessary.

Feeding and past recommendations of 25% or 50% people have always said I think was most likely geared towards autos being smaller in general. Im doing an A&b 2 part nute system at 100% strength and adding in all the extras like the bulking formula that's 0-10-10 at 1tsp per gallon every other day and not seeing any burn shows these things can take it. But they are huge. I have seen some here that would fit in a microwave and surely I wouldn't add much at all.
Awesome on the reply brother! Much appreciated!.
So when you soak the pot for transplant to you soak until run off then plant and pack dirt in. At that point do you water again lightly or just let it be? And for your presoak what and at what doses are you using? Like base at 1/4 strength or like root simulator only? Do you PH your first feed? Sorry about all the questions but my soil is just like yours and I'm amazed at all the girls I've seen of yours to be honest....I appreciate your help bro!
 
Man don't be sorry! I fill the pot with the mix and water with ph'd water and a little root stimulater. Sometimes I add a little more soil as it compresses. Then I cut the rapid rooter down in size and water that. Squeeze out the extra and pop in a seed and stick that right into the pot. No soaking seeds or paper towel. Have had 100% germination with the least steps and least stress. Usually by day 2 most have popped and on their way. It goes pretty fast this way.

Nice info!! I like it! Sounds like you just wet the pot with like a liter or so? Not drenched until run off right?
 
It's a little tough coordinating the dates. I am ahead of myself but decided to do the journal anyways. The plants are farther along than these updates.

Moby is in the middle. Looks to be a star!
 
When I grew the photo version of the moby it had these really nice round nuggets easy to trim, wet they were kind of like golf balls. Nice and dense.
I'm not sure what's happened my last run, things were great 11 plants pulled 66 solid oz. But I ended up with 1.5 lbs of fluffy that's only good for extracts and tons of nice trim but the buds themselves were alot more airy them I would like. The 5 gallon bucket of fluff made my cry!

My AC was acting up during a heat wave and I had a high of 95 in my room. I think that stressed them out because after that they didn't move. I also had the new light I wasn't prepared for. It's intense and I wasn't used to it so I did burn the tops a bit too. I really hope the next Dinafem runs are much better than the past 2 I had done.
 
Another update Day 35 from sprout. I really wish I had taken out the co2 bag for photo purposes. Well for all purposes. They are nearly useless, some people say they make a difference but I hung mine in front of my co2 monitor and pushed out all the air. It didn't change a thing. This run I have my co2 bottles pumping 1500ppm. At this stage they are drying 5 and 7 gallon air pots in 2 days and feeding everytime they are dry. 1200ppm worth of nutes. Girls are praying and very happy.

I don't know how I missed this journal till now, got my priorities straight and am properly subbed now. :pop: :vibe::pop: I am totally impressed with my 450 just with the monochromes on, the veg. growth rate versus MH is very noticeable. I'm starting on a new room in a pole building today. First step is to run a couple 110 circuits 120' underground. How many circuits/amps do you have run to your room?
