These are all indoor, correct?

My indoors LOS does well, outdoors, not so much.
Yeah...i run 5 small flowering tents..so i harvest perpetually and have heaps of variety. Hopefully have a whirl at running a no till bed soon.

Oh right..interesting. Havent outdoors for a few years now. So you plant straight into the soil? Or pots?

flowering is too early, probably needs 2 more weeks. my last transplanting not processed well, 2 plants died.:( so i hope do less transplanting in the future if it is a must .

Currently running two veg rooms and one flower room. use the mars reflector 144 and pro ii 120 in a 3*3ft room, and with a COB cree 100w, for 2.5*2.5ft room. The picture i attached is the marspro ii 120 in 2x3 ft area, things going fine here. how about you?:weed:

Up potting most always is deeply appreciated by our favorite plants excepting whenever I drop one in the process. No stress up potting works wonders.

No troubles. Pretty simple with my setup and i think a lot of other people seem to complicate the growing of weed.

SOIL: So i 'started' this soil about 6 years ago (has moved house twice now) from some generic bagged mix/compost...(to be honest i dont remember) and it has been recycled numerous times as i have grown continuously throughout that 6 years. The magic comes from the fresh homemade worm castings and compost that i add.

AMENDMENTS: So i pay about 80 bucks every 6 months for my amendments. They include Blood and Bone (with seaweed) Sulphate of Potash, Basalt rock dust, Dolomite lime, Chicken and Sheep manure pellets. I gave up guanos about 6 months ago as i found them unnecessary. The rest i make at home, worm castings, compost and Korean Natural farming amendments.

WATERING: Tropf Blumats take care of my everyday watering needs and every so often i will make up a Malted Barley enzyme tea with worm castings (no molasses) or a FPJ (fermented plant juice) will be added. Not that strict on that as my soil has already got a lot of goodness in there.

LIGHTING: All DIY LED fixtures. Citizen, Luminus, Bridgelux, Cree and Samsung diodes and controlled wirelessly with Sonoff modules.

ENVIRONMENT: So i have 5 x flowering tents, 1 x veg tent, and 1 x clone/seedling tent. This is a perpetual setup that works quite well for me. Flowering tents are all 2.5 x 2.5. Veg tent is a 4 x 4 tent on its side making it a 4 x 7 (x4) and the clone tent is a 2.5 x 2.5 on its side making it a 2.5 x 6 (2.5) I have 2 x carbon filters that take care of the smell.

METHOD:
So running a perpetual setup, there is always something to do, and i work best when i have a routine and lots of small jobs. Ill start from veg. So from a half gallon plastic container they go into 5 gallon fabric pots as they enter the flowering tents. In this transplant i add amended soil, worm castings (worms included) and some clover and alfalfa seeds to the top so they can germinate going into flower. Upon completion of flowering, the plants are cut and the soil in dumped into bigger totes where i reamend it, water it and sit it under a tarp with 5 other totes. (so each reamended tote has 12 weeks of sitting time) i water the totes every 2 weeks.

Sorry if that was boring and drawn out.
