Wow...what can i say...whatever you are doing keep doing it cuz things are looking great. Looks like everything is becoming dialed in...environment, soil, lights, etc.. That lettuce looks amazing. The penetration on those lights is far better than i thought. Man, i love those LEDs. I've been dealing with some real stress lately but am about to commence the Mini-Beast Turbo 10000 hopefully today. I will keep you posted.

Both, GGJ-
I cut the giant leaves for BLT'S and fresh salads then mulch in the little clippings and trimmings for the macro beasties..
I also leave a handful of leaves intact on the romaine stem too, and it rejuvenates itself constantly
2 healthy Romaines per pot and We laughing..
No cost, Pesticide-free organic salads all winter..
Since I'm in plus 25 all the time, I warm my car up more now, lol.
Within 10 days all the pumpkin sprouts I planted to revitalize pots where almost full size so I mulched them under and planted some karma genetics in those pots (headbanger, white snake, & wheres my bike). The headbanger was the 1st to pop up after less than 48 hrs and I expect the rest to follow soon. I took down a couple Dr Who's yday morning and 1 of them left behind 2 turmeric plants and a runner bean in same container.

Honored bro......... It can't be done anyway.
I had a feeling that you did not need to change your nickname. Real nicknames are cool. I gave permanent nicknames to guys like Rathead and that name is stuck 30+ years later. Most people never knew his real name. He was Rathead. Destroyer of upwards of 20 VW's bugs & buses and V8's too. Of course we were buddies & delinquents, then stoner buddies, then punkrockers, then dad's. He took this picture of me in 1982 at a grow above a cemetery when I was 17 and he was 15.image.jpeg

Brilliant!!!!! Pmsl, We had Fat's, he was obviously the chubby one, Giggs, he wore glasses, very original, then we had people like Hitler, Bombhead, Cow pat Hutchy, he once sank up to his neck in a farmers cowshit storage pit, we hosed him down for half an hour pmsl. But my personal favourite was Turd, I don't know if it means anything over there, but here it literally means shit, but a whole lot fookin funnier for a nickname.

Nicknames usually get given at an early age and only tend to get used by people you've known well for a long time, Don is actually more natural to me than my forename, only my mum, dad and work associates use my real name. I'm stoned/had a couple glasses of wine and contradicting myself pmsl

The JTR pheno
Normally the first strain to stress and signal problems..
Burning tips, curling, fading, etc..

Anyways,
No aloe or coco foliar yet or any foliar for that matter..
Not yet

Just plain Ro water and healthy living soil from 2014 and these beautiful efficient lights

Not sure why so healthy..

Hey Don's, do those red stem on the fan leaves bother you at all? The photo above the Untrained SLCH.

thanks Grundle
Whoa good eye. What would you attribute that too @DonTesla ?

Yeah, overall/normally I dont like purple stems.

*But*
slCh is SLHz and Chernobyl though, and both are known to petiole-redden

In this case, this strain is beefy and possibly jtr geno, a guaranteed reddener
A bit sensitive to over watering and temp fluxes and teas..
But I didn't over water her, however, nor over tea..if anything its been under.
And soil is tested and true.
Getting dialled in..
Thinking,
Everything is fine.
I can't eat lettuce fast enough to keep up with the flourishing companions
I'll see what she yields.. Looking real bushy ATM..

Yea i dont panic when i see the red stems...if its not genetics and continues strong into flowering i would get a little worried but i mostly notice this in vegging plants.
