Light at flowering

Soil is reused from last grow.

Do you do anything to treat, or sterilize the used soil?

I explained what I use to amend (treat?) the soil. As it's indoors and I've had no issues there's no need to worry about insects and I don't want to kill the pro-biotics in the soil.

Farmer's don't throw out their dirt after a crop, right? Eventually, I end up with too much soil indoors and I have to haul some out to the garden though. I have a Rapitest NPK test kit to see what is left in the soil but I have zero faith in it as well as the pH kit and any meters I tried from Rapitest.

Yes, the granulated composted manure is chicken shit based, Espoma, a very good line of organic stuff.

That's an amazing plant, DP. Hat's off!

The 3500K tubes arrived today and I'm still thinking of starting the flowering in the next week or so. Haven't seen much vertical growth in the last few days, but the plants are give-or-take a foot and a half tall and looking reasonably healthy. 3 gallon pots and it takes a gallon of water now to get any runoff at all after 3 days.

Not really seeing any problems with the T5 approach, but again, first grow in a very long time. Wish I had more room and can't believe people do this in PC cabinets. Here's an aerial shot from today:

Did I fuckup the FIM? You can also see the color of the runoff water in the bottom of the pan. Is this bad? Goes in clear, comes out looking like maple syrup. I didn't flush the coco coir before I used it - maybe should have?

Watch humidity in small grow tent. Looking good.

Never did get a humidity monitor, and I'm in a "dry" part of the country, so should probably watch that. I'm running a 114 CFM fan/filter combo, so should be getting a complete air exchange 2-3 times a minute (webcam indicates it's a little windy in the tent). Also have a circulation fan in there (probably don't need it).

I'm right at 2 months on these plants now. Started germination on 2/27.

Love the smell of "Espoma" in the morning, it smells like VICTORY!

Sic Semper Tyranus & a big sianora for now!

A victory garden you say? :rastabanna:

Flipped the lights and the timer today. It's time to see.
