Same here. I might have scared him off with my cautious attitude. I was really throwing him through the ropes to make sure it was cool. I DID talk to Jeff at UVL and he confirmed that he had indeed supplied some of these bulbs to a fellow named Chris D, which correlates. So I don't think it was actually a shady situation, but I really wish he would have been a seasoned user so it was easy to trust him up front. And then he disappeared when he said he was supposed to contact me Monday so I don't know what to think. Fuck it though, I've got an email into Jeff to see if he has more of them.
Fed my ladies today for the first time since that big flush... took a full 5 days to dry out enough to rewater... and they grew SOOOO much in those 5 days... can't wait to see how they react to their first re-feeding.
And my "babies" are ready for transplant to their new airpots... just barely showing signs of N deficiency. Growth slowed way down over the last few days, so I knew something was up... I thought maybe they were just exceeding their container's size, but I thought the air pots were supposed to be so great because they could grow bigger and just air prune... I didn't even see roots coming out the sides yet, but I SUSPECT that has something to do with how hard it is to water the soil at the sides of the damn air pots in the first place. I'm NOT that happy with air pots overall. We'll see how they handle the new ones... this might be my last round with them though, because smart pots have not done me wrong and these are a pain in my ass: I took them into the bathroom to water in the shower today, just to make sure every square inch got hit with water before I tried to transplant. Water pouring out all over of course, but that's the only way to get water to the soil at the sides! I dunno, not my favorite design.
Just rambling about these here because i haven't started a log for these ones yet, heh. Anyway, I'm transplanting them to the bigger 3 gallon air pots later today, then they will go for the next 2'ish weeks to grow out roots in there... then they go into flowering, if the timing works out the way I'm predicting. This should work out nicely as it will mean that the FFOF will still be supplying nutes for roughly the first 4 weeks of flowering. Hoping I can hold off on nutes all together until then, but I might give them some very light doses of flower nutes to encourage bud development.
Time to go for a little run and enjoy some of this nice weather we've been getting... quick Q guys... should I wait a day or two before transplant or is it cool to transplant in a few hours? (seeing as I just gave them a thorough watering, that is why I ask)
