A few pics before the journal

Sweet man, you'll be set in no time! Agreed with the recirc system too, I'm getting over the hand feeding as well, have moved to a dripper system but cant work out how to stop the pump draining my res every time it feeds, came out to 7L of water in my trays this morning it's because the res is up higher than the drippers, just cant work out how to stop it. May have to drill a hole further down and keep the res on the floor!!

You need do gave a fitting with a little pin hole in it at the top of the res (make sure the hole is facing the res so it doesn't shoot water on the floor). I think I know what your talking about, it's siphoning out due to the pressure even after the pump shuts off? A little hole in a hole fitting, preferably a elbow, with a tiny hole in it will release the pressure and atop the siphon effect

Here's a pic of the next batch of girls (fingers crossed for all girls from the testers!) @bigworm6969 thanks a lot for hooking me up with the testers all under a Platinum P300 LED light.
So we have 2 black cherry creme seedlings at the front, along with 1 blue kimbo, 1 qrazy elephant and 1 blue og seedlings as well. In the pots we have 2 platinum d at the front, a blue lime pie to the left, then sinmints and nightmare cookies at the back!!

Cheers bro, I ended up using 2 aquarium check valves on the pipe going into the cupboard, it just needed some air, as you said! Been testing it the last few days and it's worked...WOO HOO

Hell yeah man, very excited about the new gear, was going to pop my In House gear and gorilla grip but they can wait one more round going organic this time and holy crap, these girls are looking great. Been brewing some compost tea so will be feeding them today!! If my organic soil mix works, I'll be going organic from here on I think

Good luck with the test subjects mate. They sound pretty darn good. What's in your soil mix?

 

[Chipper Pig]

Well here's the bb X shiva. I am pretty happy with how she going!!

Thanks buddy, so far they are looking mighty fine! I have to go away for a week so I've set up a dripper system today, here's hoping it works ha ha.
My soil mix is home made compost (leaves, grass, azomite, composted cow manure, blood and bone and lucerne -cooked for about 6mths), some kelp meal, more blood and bone, more azomite, perlite and guano. I then brew up once a week, a compost tea with compost, worm castings, composted cow manure, kelp extract, molasses, worm wee and occaisonally some ground lucerne seems to work well, my veges get the same and they have taken off this year!!

Well here's the bb X shiva. I am pretty happy with how she going!!

Holy shit mate, she's definitely going to yield well, I'm guessing a lb, maybe more...she had some thick stems!! Massive props mate, she's going awesome

 

[Chipper Pig]

Cheers mate shes a beauty. It's the first one I've grown in the ground. Had a few in pots before, but never had the room to plant into the ground.

Sounds like you know what your up to with soil mix! It will grow anything you throw in it I reckon.

Keep doing what you're doing mate, your girl is going great guns and will reward you for your troubles. To be honest, I prefer outdoor buds to indoor, they just taste better!
Yeah man, I've researched a lot to get that mix, the only thing I forgot was dolomite lime, I add that as well just to balance out the pH. It's all locally sourced ingredients too

Awesome bro! Glad you got it working and hell yeah bro! Organic kicks ass! I can't wait to be back in a house I can accommodate soil again, I really want to do no til beds I started as a outdoor organic grower years back and miss it! Can't wait to see yours, you'll love it

Cheers man, definitely feeling better about going away now, nothing worse than worry about the girls while not being able to sort em out! This organic soil is working real well too, cost bugger all and I KNOW it will taste good, surprised it took me this long to go back to it lol. Organic veges are the best too, even my magnolias get compost tea and eat it up. I'd imagine you'd kill the organics as well man

Update for day 43 of flower.
They got a flush today and will get another one tomorrow.
Nutes used this week:
Coco A and B - 3mL/L
Silica 1mL/L
Swell 2.5mL/L

All the girls are starting to stack up which is nice. The BLP has the most amazing berry smell and the nightmare cookies has a sweet smell I can't quite put my finger on. The Plat D's I have 2 different phenos, one looks to be cookie dom and the other seems to be BP dom which is great.

Hey mate, I have a quick question about my outdoor girl. The pistil on her are getting tinge of purple through them. Is this because it's lacking something or just a trait of a cool plant? I can't fault how it's growing, tight nodes that roll along way down each branch!

If your stems are purpling could be needing a bit of calmag, but you're fine. Looks healthy. Pistils nothing to worry about
