Thanks. Not bad atall eh. They've been getting some nice days out in the sun here and there. Got maybe 3 weeks and they can get in the big tent. Give them some real light and we'll see them really take off.

They look great

Little update. About 3 days ago. Watered in their new pots a second time. Their first watering of straight water. About to top sometime this week. They're growing an inch or so daily. Update on Saturday when I get home and top them. They like their new pots. The cups were getting too small real fast. 5 weeks old today.

Looks great, happy healthy starts and growing.

Here's some top and side views of the girls in their new homes. Temporary homes I should say. Tomorrow June 12 will be 1 month since they were put into paper towels. They are 3 weeks from sprout today. Coming along nicely if I do say so myself. Each one got 500ml of pHed water at 6.5 Today and then Saturday they will get 500ml of pHed water with full strength nutes as before. Calmag as well as some molasses. Each plant is under 3 25 watt CFLs. Will be putting a small led board in tomorrow as I ran out of time today and the lights went out as I finished watering.

Got them switched over. No damage atall to the roots. They were filling up the solo cup quickly and I have a month or so to wait before the tent is free, couldn't fit 4 10 gallon bags into my little box. Not by a long shot.

Same here it's a fun way to pass the time. I love me a good mixin of some quality soil lol. They keep me busy. I like the promix. Really makes a difference at the roots, growth as well as uptake of nutes and water. I like the tubs. I have those 2 and I have a 200 gallon tub outside for my big batches. It's nice to have the room to give er a good mix. I like to work it in. Break up all the little balls get it as good as I can to keep the girls happy

Hi there your busy busy all the time. I have 2 tubs like yours I mix my outdoor mix different so 1 keep it separated from indoor. All your mix is very similar to mine for indoor, I never have used mycronize? I love mixing my soils filling pots something about it makes me feel good.

Well I went the town over for 4 buck n a quarter pots so it's transplant day. Some pics of the pots I got. The way I got them and the way I got them ready to grow dope in. Made a new soil mix,60%root farm hydro mix. 30% promix HP. And 10% Peat moss. Cut 60 mix to 40 perlite. Waiting for a battery to charge so I can finish drilling my last 2 pots and I will make a post shortly as I physically transplant the girls to their middle home.

Update June 10.

June 8s heavy feeding seems to have stopped the yellowing in its tracks. They got fed today, 125% strength general hydroponics. The more I think about my "soil" the more I realize I'm growing in hydro since my mix only has about 10 to 20 percent soil, 50 coco, and 30 percent spagnum moss. Which is cut 50\50 with perlite. Will be keeping up with the feeding and maybe a watering every 4th or 5th feeding. Every second day they're dry. I'm looking for a middle man pot between solo and 10 gallon. Something that can fit into their box while I finish the ones in the tent. Nothing available in my town pot wise so I'm having to improvise, open to suggestions. Something easy to transplant from when the time comes.

Well here's the harvest of 6 plants. Minus a quarter pounder of shake and popcorn. No final weight yet but it was fairly successful around a pound plus of good bud.

[Jordann]

Well I'm back from a couple weeks of bush Nd mud and biking, lots of drinking and smoking. It's June 9 just an update, one plant has been hungry. I'm up to full strength feeding for the lot with a little boost for the hungry one. Getting ready to move them out of their solo cups but still waiting on my 10 gallon bags to come in. Have been coming to town to water and get more beer and open jars.

It seems to have calmed down for the night. 85 and 95 with the humidity. Trying to dry buds. Feeling like I'm working backwards here. Even with the dehumidifier I just can't win. Fans on them to keep the mould away so far. They were dryer on the plant 😣

We had power out 3hrs yesterday moved my autos outdoors for the day it's hot 85f here. I only have 3 autos flowering but 9 others with different finish times for perpetual grows with the out door photos.

Got another 5 gallons of perlite. I keep running our hardware store out of perlite and they keep getting these dinky bags should have just about 40 gallons of soil. Some around 30% perlite already and a bag or promix which is about 15 percent perlite already. One bucket of promix and compost with some cactus black soil. And the bigger bucket in back about 50 coco and 50 my soil mix plus the perlite. Will make a big batch mix and use once well mixed together in my 100 gallon tub then spread to the 10 gallon bags with an inch of clear stone at the bottom. Severe thunderstorms today with rotation and rolling blackouts, have to keep resetting my timers when it comes back on. Satellite TV no reception. Then sun then another round. Promix with mycorrhizae is worth its weight in gold. Living fungus helps roots grow and uptake nutes. Wouldn't grow straight in it I like my mix to round things of to a soil pH or 6 to 6.5. Will update in a few days or when my fabric pots come in. Finally going to take everyone's advice and try these miracle grow bags. If anyone sees miracle grow fertilizer in my pictures I assure you it's unopened and will be spreading it on the lawn where it belongs. Bye for now.🙃 Lightning just struck my neighbours lawn and I have no power again. Been a hell of a day.
