Looks yummy, I may have to give RedRoc a try soon, need to expand beyond Mephisto a bit. So far it's been mostly Meph, with 1 Fastbuds, 1 Vision Seeds and currently one GYO.
My beans are finally, finally soaking. Decided to do 2 Pink Panama, 2 Mango Smile, 1 GYO Herer, and 3 Meph freebies.
Methodology has also changed. Was going to run 4 DTW coco + 4 DIY SIPs. While I was getting some parts and stuff from my new favorite kinda-local hydro shop, I noticed they were an autopot dealer. Been half watching those since I started and since it was there, and at a discount, and without shipping -- I went for it. The beauty of this is I ripped a bunch of crap out of my tent. No need to deal with drainage, no trays, no vacuuming -- just pots on styrofoam.
Going to run 4 hydro, sterile, cocoa in the autopot fabric pots -- strict bottom feeding on these. No bennies, no top feeding.
Then I got 4 of the 7 gallon plastic pots, which I plan on running organic/dirt. No cover crops, no cover, no mulch, no worms. Going to try to use the natural top layer dryness as a gnat preventative. Since I'll only top water weekly or bi-weekly, I think that traditional top dressing with dry amendments probably is not ideal. It'll sit there, uncovered until fully watered in. So I'll do weekly or bi-weekly AACT+botanical teas. Give that a shot. Worst case scenario, I kill some plants. Woohoo...
Into the Rapid Rooters tonight. Lez go!
