Sucks about your supply issues. I use Amazon too much, but just found a hydro store near my new house (a few cities over) that I haven't had time to check out yet.

I have no interest in anything other than soil, just my preference, and I am leaning towards 3 gallon pots max in the future, just because they are so easy to deal with. Less water/nutes to deal with, a flush doesn't require an hour of watering and 6-10 gallons, a full pot weighs less than 20lbs,etc.

That, and I now have room to grow plenty if needed. With the 5 gallon pots, 2 plants crowded the small closet. Your 4x4's are perfectly sized for 4 plants in 5 gallons. My 3x3 will fit them, but the plants are never happy so the 3 gallon and more plants, is easier. If this thing with the 4-cylinder manifolds works, I could have 8 plants going comfortably all the time. At lights on this evening I am switching the plants over and switching the rooms. The smaller veg room just makes sense. I re-rigged my lights to gain another foot so it should be good unless I get a giraffe.

Ya I use amazon lots aswell

I've bought 3 bags of ffof so far , all for 17.99

Hydro show says he can get it brought in but at this time it's for 60.00 a bag

Amazon wants 80.00 shipped

So coco it is. I must say, I like the idea of watering and feeding everyday, the results seem to speak for themselves, guys are doing well in coco it seems.

I have nothing but good things to say about ffof and my soil grows, but I can't pay 60.00 a bag just for soil, that's absurd lol

I did the "prime" thing just for the free shipping. Not sure how Trudeau has that working for the great white north.

It's cool because it sells weed related items to places where it's otherwise hard to find, or expensive like you are talking about. For example, there might be several places that all sell FFOF on amazon. The prices may all be different, but some may be "prime" eligible and have their stuff strategically placed for 2-day shipping. Others that don't do that might charge less but you have to wait a week. It's worth it in the end, especially if you are rural.

It is really good for if you need some BS disposable piece of equipment like an oscillating fan or a humidifier. You can get stuff really cheap, and know that f it doesn't work you can return it, but if it doesn't last long you didn't spend much.

Day 55

I can't help myself. I'm a picture whore


My staking game needs serious work lol, shes more lopsided this morning than she was yesterday, needless to say, i didnt do a very god job with the support

@Renfro idea of string across upper bars and tying them up might be my best option.

I will be having a trellis or tomatoe cages on the next run

If i had my time back i would have left my ties on until harvest. It helps the plant keep from closing in on itself.

I am going to do a @Dyna-Gro nute plant with their sample-pack for the contest. And when I mentioned this in the contest page the guy (or girl?) said they would toss me an extra sample-size bottle of a nute (I forget which one it was) that I would be most likely to run out of if I needed it.

Did you already get your sample pack?
