this run has re-taught me SEVERAL things that seem like I remember honestly getting to this point before at the end of my growing before I moved in 2017, re realizing why I switched from Subcools(RIP) Super Soil as much as it taught me, to a more coots-style mix with barley straw mulch, cover crop, compost teas, IPM, etc.
Too bad I had to move or I'd be at ~8 or so cycles in those no-till pots I had run a TGA tester in it was Super Silver Haze x Querkle. The smoke and quality was unreal. That run was finished in January 2017.
now, back to this run and what I learned...
Patience, me being so excited to start again I didn't think things through as far as super soil vs no-till and was like well I've done super soil in the past with very good results and I can always do next run no-till, especially having all ingredients for super soil locally and some of no-till stuff I'd need to order and wait to receive..
Keep my plants from being rootbound ever next time by planting in solo cups then transplant to their final container, or just seed in final container if possible..
to preventing Cal-Mag issues with using distilled/RO water from seed, De-chlorinate water to preserve soil microbiology but RO/distilled is not necessary for living soil...
ALWAYS plant more seed than I need by one or two plants to compensate for runts/males, a seed or two not popping, etc...
Sex plants before flip unless you want to be unpleasantly surprised when growing regular seed and not cuts or fems, although I have never ran fems and may not in the future...
Less is more, Keep it simple, and be patient. Very key concepts I seem to forget from time to time...
