The way I usually grow is I start the seeds in those little 3 inch containers. Well, one of the reasons is that I start from seed every time, I don’t keep mother plants or anything like that, and it just seemed like a pain in the ass to do no-till with seeds. I was planning on switching to no-till starting with this grow, ordered thirty gallon air pots and a 4x4 hydro tray thing to put them in, loaded up on all of the extra amendments I’d need and bought extra bags of pumice and was all set to do it and then I chickened out. Passive intake (although I’m not sure how “passive” an open tent door is haha) The AT600 weighs 65 pounds, so I figured I ought to get a tent where if I hang something else besides what’s already hanging in there (like my second light, for example) I never have to worry about, like,“Oh shit, I wonder if what I’m about to hang will make the entire tent collapse…” Uhhhhh, let’s see, what else…? Tent is a 5 x 5 Green Qube, which I only ordered because it has a weight capacity of 200 pounds. I also saw that a grow store in AZ was having a sale on the Apache AT200, $200 cheaper than they usually sell for, so I ordered one about a month ago and just hooked it up this morning. It is absolutely the best LED on the market. I didn’t used to have to do that in our old house. The only other thing I can think of is that it’s because I have to leave my tent door open while the light’s on. I was able to kill all three, but I’m gonna be pissed if they come back again. Unfortunately, I was in there watering this morning and saw three fungus gnats. So after three runs with that mix and constantly battling fungus gnats (my last grow’s infestation was particularly bad) I tossed that soil mix and made up a new batch with the Agrowinn EWC again. Never had infestations like I did when I switched to the Bu’s. Now, I know most organic growers swear by Bu’s, but that shit was a serious fungus gnat magnet. Unfortunately, in the three years or so since I initially mixed up my soil, it became more difficult to source Agrowinn EWC so I used Bu’s Blend for the humus portion of my soil. In an effort to save water (and because I get bored kind of easily), I just decided to mix up an entire new batch of soil. Everything was still good except there were pretty high salt levels and it was recommended that I flush the soil, which would have required something like 175 gallons of water. I recycle my soil and after five or six runs, I sent in a sample for a soil analysis. Never had an issue with fungus gnats or anything like that. When I first mixed up my soil, about five years ago, I used Agrowinn earthworm castings and they were great. Soil: Coot’s Mix (1/3 peat, Agrowinn EWC and pumice, amended with crustacean, kelp, gypsum, neem etc etc). Okay, since this is my first grow log here at overgrow, I’ll be a little more specific than I usually am in my grow logs at The Farm.
