Yea, I try to be a good guy, a man of my word, and I definitely go to bat for my friends, most of the time to the point my own determent. Once the trust is gone though, and the boundaries are crossed, I rarely give a chance to rebuild it.

Whew, day 2 of harvest today. Got anothe day of chopping and such to do. It is a lot more of a pain in the ass to chop them with the trellis' thats for sure.
Gonna get the rest down tomorrow, and then finish taking the scrog frame down, get the garage all cleaned, and then get the next cycle of plants moved over. I am upgrading into larger hard tub pots. Got soil cooking, amended the previous soil with kelp meal, worm castings, rabbit manure, oyster shell, mycos and bennies, bone and blood meal, neem seed meal, and seabird guano.
onward!

That sounds like a bunch of shit.
Good shit.
...HEAVY shit.
You make me thankful I pump my medium through a garden hose.
Not hating at all, much respect for the craft. I'm just always thinking about how to reduce the workload, improve productivity...

Well I definitely am, lol
I was musing on the hard labor involved with using soil based media.
You see, when I need to replace the nutrients and media for the plants, I quite literally attach a hose and simply pump it out. 15 minutes later the rack is empty, I add fresh water and nutrients and I'm finished, other than pH and EC checks and adjustments. I only do it manually to keep a personal tab on the girls, it can and is often done automatically.
That said, there's no denying that soil grown plants have their own profile. I'm not attempting to debate the merits of approach vs the other. I'm just wondering out loud about whether and how it might be easier to handle large volumes of soil...
Cuz that's who I am and what I do; I see something like this and start wondering. Never know where it might lead!

Yea, I have envisioned large raised beds on rollers as ideal. I definitely get it what you mean though. Soil definitely is a bear worth of labor at times. once you have soil base built up though, I can re amend it with manure and cover crops and save a ton of money, and be more sustainable.
I do sometimes day dream about the simplicity of a DTW flood table with coco though. I have ran coco, and its definitely effective. just prefer soil

I keep wondering if the third way of aquaponics might provide some answers. Just brainstorming, cuz it's fun!

No tills are pretty fkn maintenance free. I plant cover crop usually end of flower, yank bud up when its done, mulch under cover crop, replnt new baby....water only (except water plus aloe or water plus coconut water or water plus molasses)...its promix, compost, castings, lava rock, plenty decaying plant matter....

yea, that sounds like the ticket. I don't have the time quite yet right now to build it before I flip, as I am aiming to have the next crop flipping by march 21st. Gives me a week to get the garage clean as fuck, the ac back up in the window, going to panda film the whole garage, and then go time.
But, I defintely think by the next cycle, thats what I need to be running!

yea the prime moonshine smells amazing. LOUD mangos, fruit, juicy and so damn frosty. One of the best plants in the cycle.
