Just thought I'd show ya where I was, where I am. Why not.
These poor plants were screaming to be repotted
So, I did just that and luckily some stuff I ordered came in the mail today too. I rebuilt my lighting rig (there's more light coming) and transplanted to these buckets. I got my digital Ph tester and my ph up/down kit with chemical test included, and a few other things. I got a 125 volt CFL grow light. Plugged it in, it ran (buzzing) for 10 minutes then burned out. Ain't that a pisser. But like I said, more light coming.
Turns out my nute concoction was right on the money at 5.8 Ph. After watering, the soil tests between 6.0-6.4
I think I did a nice job on this custom "in-progress" rig for a closet grow
The cow pots had a 2:1 peat moss/perilite mix. I'm just kind of experimenting so on a larger scale for the buckets I mixed 8/4/2 peat moss/sand/perilite
For the record, that's not tinfoil, which I've read is bad to use as a deflector. It's sheets of press sheets with the marred side towards the lights. (more lights coming lol)
I've definitely learned some things along the way if you look close enough at my plants lol. I'm holding my own I think
If you smell the top of one of the plants in the back, it's already starting to smell like skunk
