damn, totally forgot I wrote that post the other day. Got some Brenda in the cloner right now about to be tossed into buckets, as well as Mi5's. They'll be under a 600w HPS for the life of their grow, 'cause that's what I have available right now. Built my own tent and with the 600 going temps stay at 74 degrees alllll dayyyyy looong. Outside the tent it's about 48 degrees.... that's where the air pump is gonna sit.

So, I'll start putting up pics and all soon. What the soup is gonna be....

Starting out at .7EC of Clonex and .1EC of Rapid Start and a dash or ORMUS for those trace elements. Plan is to run this mix for 10-14 days (one changeout) and then switch over to a 1.0-ish EC of my Jack's soup and some Rapid Start and ORMUS. My mix of Jack's runs about 2.87-1-4.12 and 1.2-2.3 Mg-Ca. I may bump my ratio during veg to around 3.3-1-4, but likely will be just fine with how I run it currently.

For a PK boost I'll use up some stuff I get for free like Crystal Burst (0-16-16) or Bloombastic or Hydroplex... my wonderful hydro shop gives me crap tons of "samples".

My air is an 80lpm pump that'll be servicing 6 buckets of 3.5gal of solution each.

There's a ton of shit going on in my life right now that I'm having major problems dealing with, so I'm gonna try and dig into this journal as an escape from it all. And, you'll get to see fun pics. weeeeee

I'll post up some tonight after I get everything set up.

In my veg area I started using compost tea in my top feed system today. I used some roots excelurator and within hours there was this crazy slime all over the roots. I know it's supposed to coat the roots and all, but crap, I don't want that stuff hanging around. Put in 2 gallons of compost tea to 8 gallons of water and 40ml of Dynagrow Bloom to get them roots blastin'.
