Thank you! I hope they smoke as nice as they look...
Yup, this was a water-only grow with recycled/amended soil. All I did was add plain tap water to the reservoir when it was empty, and watch grass grow

Forgot to post earlier. Plants came down a few weeks ago. They dried a bit faster than I would have liked, but still came out really well. Processed all my trim into infused coconut oil using the Magical Butter machine.
Living soil in sips is gonna be my new setup moving forward. Easiest cleanest grow I've ever done.
This is Lemon Tree Kush from Archive in Portland. It was grown in Build A Soil 3.0 with craft blend additives and ewc tea.

Nice! Yup SIPs are the way to go, I can't imagine a more simple method
Those buds look great and that coconut oil looks like it should be fun...

Thanks. The oil is pretty dankalicious. I already made some cookie bars. They were the real deal. I have 2 cups that I didn't decarb properly, so I ran it back through with some properly decarbed buds. Gonna make a lemon pound cake with that.

For sure , this winter was my first time re using soil and just amending it, definitely going to do more of that going forward with the price of bagged soils going up, I'm also thinking about starting from seeds next time instead of clones , I can't find old strains anymore in local clones because everyone keeps crossing strains around me and making up new names

Anyone willing to educate me on why autos flower for so long? I see people saying they have 100+ days in flower. Am I misreading this, or do auto's go for 14+ weeks in flower?

Oh yeah, I feel like the recycled soil just gets better each round...
Are you planning on using your growbox outside this summer?

Finished a SIP grow. Sativa-heavy Useful genes, went about 14 weeks. Learned the value of cleaning the wicking rocks and balancing the ROLS after each run.

So I did exactly that! (Cleaned the rocks and balanced the soil.) Started some AKBB genes. Roots are just hitting the reservoir, and training is done for a flip this weekend.

What'd you do to balance the soil?

Bought a Rapidtest kit, balancing with compost, bone meal, and langbeinite. For micros, I rely on that langbeinite, also gypsum, native dirt, tap water, and dead bugs.
edit: I also use an innoculated, fortified 4-4-4 to round it all out (Jobe's). Considering using their 3-9-4 for some of these P-loving sativas I run.

Dang that's a good idea. I've just been adding a few cups of KiS all-purpose and tomato-tone to mine between runs. I think it might have been a bit too rich this round, got some burned tips and signs of excess nitrogen. I'm either gonna go light on the fertilizer for the next round or just add more compost and perlite....
