Howdy y’all 
Week 2 update
@Jean-O
My Blueberry Cheezecake is coming along nicely !!
It’s day #15 if my hillbilly math is correct
She’s been transplanted into a GroBucket system since the evening of the 22nd. Happy Frog and Organic Pro-mix in a 1:1 ratio.
Here’s some photos of that process and the BBC as well as some other JeanO’s I have in the tent now
Sifting out the soil mixture.
I really like the feel of this sifted soil.
Un-Sifted soil about 2/3rds up
Sifted soil to finish it off.
Didn’t have a solo cup to make the insert hole so used a ceramic pot in the greenhouse then moved it inside the tent to climatize around 12 hours
Climatizing the soil before transplant, camera view
A little root action from the BBC. Added Great White to the hole and rootball before transplant.
BBC top view
RBF with a little more root action showing.

The little albino-ish Hellhound didn’t make it and laid over on the 23rd. I had put it in a 3gal fabric pot early to try and not disturb any roots but it slowly just faded away.
Here’s a Hellhound XXL I started to make sure I could get one viable plant of this strain. Tonight- Day 1
My competition plant looking pretty tonight-day 15
RBF is a beauty also. Tonight -Day 15
This WTF went in a little earlier than normal for me, which was on day 4 and there were no roots visible but since I was already in the mood I just dropped it also.
Here it is tonight on day 6
All were offset in the bucket to hopefully be able to spread some out with some LST and make it easier to get to the watering pipe.
I’ll move the new Hellhound XXL to a GroBucket on day 12.
I’m trying to come up with a cover of sorts for the buckets, kind of like the Earth Box covers. Been trying to come up with something like those that have elastic but I’ll probably just use some panda film and a Rubber band to hold it down. Torn between that and just planting cover crop and adding sanitized straw as a mulch.
Decisions, decisions !!!
Catch y’all next week
Just realized I didn’t add….
Let’s get it on Suki !!! LOL not a problem from my point of view !!

What's the diameter of the pots? Wonder if something like a plastic shower cap would work?Howdy y’all

11 7/8” , I’ve been watching numerous videos on how to build your own earth boxes (SIP) and these GroBuckets appear to be just another version of that. Was curious how they’d do if I treated them like the earth boxes with the cover and slow release fertilizer “trench” at the top. I’ve been kicking it around some lol.
I think dollar tree sells opaque shower caps that may fit that. I'll have to see if there's still one under my kids sink. If so I'll get a measurement for ya!
I have no problem suki always has killer grows and tons of experience.
Germination Code
No soaks for me, straight into the muck they go! Don't have the original packaging for the Straw Dog anymore cause I was trying to save space before I got a bigger box lol.
And the other two just for fun lol

I'd be happy to have Suki join the grow off!
Definitely happy in the Earthbox! Two days ago did the first top dress and put the covers on, and have a mycelium explosion. Rootwise apparently works very well!
