Day 15

Oh, and what's this? New goings-on...

 

[Vegasbear87]

So here's what happened today:

First some organization for Tent #3. That's 16ga plastic coated fencing cut and zip tied over the top of the frame. Hanging points? We got em.

No more awkward trying to find a way to plug the lights in and run five cords out of the tent.

Here is the Grassroots 3x3 Living Soil Bed. These are made to fit inside a 3x3 tray. Filled with 8 bags of Coast of Maine Stonington Blend (12 cu ft).

Found a better place to put the fans and filters, and will be doing the same for Tent #1 and Tent #2 when they aren't in active use.

The soil bed is sitting in a 3x3 tray filled with 4 cu ft of perlite, drenched up to an inch to two inches under the bottom of the bed. Ideally, this will wick upwards and keep the bed watered. We shall see!

I need to fabricate or cobble together a sight gauge for filling the bed so the water level doesn't get too high and actively soak the soil bed. Thinking maybe a 2" PVC cleanout connected to some 2" PVC pipe, with a either nylon hose or window screen wrapped around it to let water in but keep perlite out.

Are you going to adjust the cobs independently or do they remain fixed? What do you do for air circulation, I may have missed it.

I can adjust them independently if the plants start to stretch too much. I'll likely lower them this week.

Have a fan up now blowing and a 400cfm fan to filter in pull configuration outside the tent.

Day 18

Little ones are finally looking healthy. I'll up nutrients and feed a little tonight.

Four Barney's Farm Pineapple Express went into the new soil bed last night after a 36hr soak.

I prepped the bed with a tea and kashi starter. Waiting on groundcover seeds and some barley straw to ship from Build a Soil.

This came today from Extractcraft. I'm pretty excited.

Day 1

56hrs post planting and they're off to the races. Incredible how fast they're going already. Don't mind the newspaper, introducing a couple hundred worms to their new home.
