okay boys and girls.
commence the grow game.
yesterday the tent gave way to two little tiny babies.
I'd post pictures, buuuut....they all look the same at this age so, I'm just not gonna
I did however, wanna mention the medium, pH and so forth, just so I don't forget because MS + mass pot consumption = an especially shitty memory lol.
So the medium is a mixture of things lol I got one of them big ole rubbermade (maybe its rubbermaid...idk lol) bins to mix up the soil in. Plus I figure keeping any extra soil I have in a bin with a locking lid was better than leaving half empty bags of soil layin' around lol. I just sorta...dumped all the soils in and mixed up real nice like lol. The mix is comprised of the following :

Once i had it all mixed up and put into the designated 3gal smart pots, the first thing I did was check the pH of the water I was about to put in them, which was an even 7. Then i checked the pH of what came out, and it was between 6.4 & 6.5 and I was happy with that. So as long as I keep checking the pH and adjusting when needed, I
shouldn't come across any pH issues...fingers crossed lol I'll tell ya what though...Anasazi has the right idea with this pH perfect nutrient business lol
