That’s awesome, good to see how it’s going 3 years on and looking really good. Hopefully I can keep mine as healthy as yours.
Peace and love

Day 13 of flower, coming up to the end of week 2. Saw some slight light stress going up to 70%(700w) so raised it a few inches to allow them to stretch out fully. One of the Cookie Caskets has started to purple up already, she will probably be a dark one. The Ethos CJxEG3 were smelly in veg but really stinky now already which is a good sign!
Yep that Cookie Casket is gonna have some very beautiful buds, I love it when the purple comes in that early. Looking dope as always brother.
Peace and love

Looking forward to seeing your flowers
Start of day 15 flower, still stacking nicely. Plenty of nutrition left in the soil so probably won’t need to top dress until day 21. Runtz are starting to get frosty already
Absolutely beautiful! Nice consistent canopy! ![]()
What’s the setup?
Thanks ![]()
16 5.5gal air pots, 3 year old reamended ‘living soil’. 1000w Mars FC-E1000 at 70%
To train I just top at 6th or 7th node, remove the bottom 2 branches. LST and defoliate to keep the 10-12 tops even and let them grow naturally. I tend to only grow indica doms so they usually stay within a few inches of each other. I like to be able to move the plants so prefer stakes to trellis supports
Very cool. ![]()
I used bamboo stakes when I did flood trays, not to move them, just stability.
Any automation? Enviro-controllers/sensors? Irrigation?
Not really I’m oldschool. Hand water, I have an electric hose wand thing to water the back ones. Also have a strip of wicking cloth that drops into the tray below the pots so I can fill each tray with ~3L and bottom water.
Only things that are automated is an SMScom hybrid stepping fan controller that runs the 8" extraction fan slow to keep stable temp, and a dehumidifier I sometimes need to run in the lung room. Currently sitting ~60% RH so would be if in late flower

I’m old school with automated irrigation. Run exhaust 24x7 in flower. Picked up a black Friday deal on a Spider Farmer GGS tent setup to use for veg and autos, ended up bypassing control functions and just using sensors for insight.
I’m kind of a control freak like that. ![]()
Yeah the fan stays on 24/7, controller undervolts it so runs slow to hold a set temp, and the dehu turns itself on and off when needed so don’t have much use for an AI controller, would be cool to see CO2 PPMS.
Looking great bubba
im invited for smoke test right
lol ![]()
Fantastic, what a sight to behold. Someone call the fire brigade that tent is on fire.
Peace and love

Day 24 of flower. A few are starting to lighten up a bit so will top dress over the next couple of days which should be enough to see them to finish.
Might I inquire about what you use to top dress them?
For flower I just top dress with P,K Cal and Micro sources then cover in worm castings. Gypsum, kelp meal, insect frass, Calcium Phosphate, Potassium Sulphate and Polyhalite.
The little N in the worm castings and insect frass is enough for flower.
